《THE CEO AND ME!》


 Chapter 1 - DEAR DIARY!

    Dear Diary


    Today, I, Tinsley Rutherford turned twenty.


    My day started with a pineapple bottom, red velvet cake on the bed, and lily petals showering from the ceiling.


    It was magical. Mary did a very good job than before.


    The moment I opened my bedroom door, I was greeted by mom and dad with their arms wide open. It was very unusual to see a smile on daddy''s face.


    I could not believe my eyes either at first. But then they pulled me in for the big teddy bear hug. It was something new that I think I m going to cherish for the rest of my life.


    I have so many things to update on but I really have no time for right now.


    Daddy has thrown a big party downstairs with all the famous people invited. And there will be Josh too.


    ______________________________________


    "Tinsley are you ready??"


    I dropped my pen the moment I heard my mother''s voice. And even before I could hide my diary, she burst through inside.


    "Tinsley??? What are you doing??"


    Her quacky voice made me drop my diary but it was my least concern to pick it up and hide it for she would see it.


    "You are not even half ready...Tinsley?? Josh''s family would be here any moment from now.."


    She walked inside, and I finally decided to grace her with my front. Thanks to God, my makeup was done already.


    "I m almost ready mom."


    "No, you are not. Your hair is still not done and..."


    "..only because I decided to keep it open."


    I interrupted her right away so that she would not panic anymore. She was always like this.


    "Josh likes it when I keep it that way."


    I gave her a reason so that she could believe it because I did not like to keep my hairs open.


    Her face softened and strode forward where I stood, leaning on the dressing table.


    "I m so happy to see you two are finally getting along, Tinsley."


    Mom said, brushing her palm lovingly on my cheeks. I gave her a quick nod, returning her smile.


    "Oh and wear this."


    She bought out a rectangr box and opened it to reveal a big heart-shaped diamond pendant ne with beads of ruby.


    "Mom this is so beautiful."


    I uttered, could not be able to part my eyes away from the ne, shining so brilliantly.


    "Turn around. "


    Mom beamed and I obliged. She slid my hair to the right side and then ced the ne around my neck. It was really heavy. She tied the hook and then asked me to turn back.


    "You look beautiful, my love. "


    She mumbled,nding a sweet chaste kiss on my forehead. It was something unusual about everything...the way so sweetly they were treating me.


    Do not take me wrong...my parents were the normal kind of parents. They were not the most loving and sweet type and rarely had time for me because daddy had the big Rutherford Corp to run all by himself having no siblings.


    My mom to belonged from a rich shipping family. You can say I was blessed to be their daughter but daddy was not happy when they found out I would be the only child they could have as mom could no longer have any more children.


    Daddy was very angry. He needed a son to run his empire. That drew my parents apart, their marriage never remained the same again. And I was the sole reason. I knew all of that.


    They only stuck to each other because of their reputation in society. But soon enough everything changed when dad dered my hands in marriage to the Harrington. I was only six at that time.


    Josh Harington, the heir to the Harrington Co. would marry me when I would turn twenty and one years of age.


    So basically I was just a year away from being Mrs. Harrington. The contract that daddy signed with them stated that I would also have to carry an heir to the Harrington and Rutherford industries within the first year of our marriage.


    That way my father would finally have the heir to his empire. I was raised to be the best wife and mother, with the most feminine traits since then.


    I know that I should be angry at my daddy for using me as bait to get his long-awaited heir for thepany but then when it all happened, I was too small to understand any of those and they raised me up shaping me in a way that I grew up to be the most obedient girl.


    In exchange, daddy showered me with everything. What I asked, I had it before my eyes within seconds. He bought me a princess yacht for my tenth birthday. That was the most expensive gift I ever had.


    Afterpleting my high school in an all-girls boarding school, my education was over for they believed what I would do going to college anyway which made sense.


    So here I was walking down the stairs as all the guests pped happily for me. Confetti blew up in the air as I reached where daddy stood.


    Josh was standing with his parents, he was looking in my way. I parted my eyes from him as a lot of people came forward to greet me. Daddy seemed very happy, unlike all my birthdays.


    Maybe it was because it was only a year away before I would be married off to Josh and another yearter, he would finally have his heir.


    They had monitored my reproductive health since the moment I got my first periods and the doctor Marsha, my on gynecologist said I was alright.


    Everything was nned, my entire life was sorted out. I had nothing to worry about or even think about. People envied my life.


    Daddy went up on the stage and voiced out in the microphone to have everyone''s attention.


    "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a very big day as you know it''s Tinsley''s birthday and today is also their...my daughter and Josh Harrington''s engagement."


    ______________________________________________

 Chapter 2 - SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT!

    "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a very big day as you know it''s Tinsley''s birthday and today is also their...my daughter and Josh Harrington''s engagement."


    Everyone pped. I looked over at daddy and mom in shock as I was not informed about this at all.


    My engagement??..and I did not know about it. Mom gave me those eyes which clearly said to go with the flow. It always had been like that.


    "Common up, Josh and Tinsley..."


    Daddy called us both up. People near me looked at me when I hesitated a bit. But then Josh came up to me and held my hand even when I did not offer him.


    He pulled me towards the stage. I was walking only because I was being pulled there. Everyone cheered the moment we stood along with our parents.


    Mom bought the ring as Josh''s mother, Ramona bought their ring. It was a pretty Lopez rock embedded in a huge diamond rock ring.


    Even when I did not give my hand to him, he pulled it and pushed the ring on my ring finger.


    Amidst the apuse, cheers, my mind was frozen. I knew that I should not be really freaking out for this was what I had been trained for all my life.


    But it just felt a little off knowing my single days were over.


    Soon enough, I was making Josh wear his ring. It was a simple tinum band with mini diamond dots carved around it.


    "Mr. Harrington and Mrs. Soon to be Harrington,dies, and gentlemen..."


    Josh''s father, Luka Harrington dered to the people as both me and Josh raised our right hands to showcase the ring.


    It was supposed to be one of my happiest days but it just did not feel like that. It felt so gloomy and dull.


    The party was in full bloom after I cut my chocte, themed three feet cake with Josh.


    Mom and Ramona dragged me around as they made me meet countless women from this and that club they were presidents of.


    They all eyed my ring with so much fancy. Ramona kept bragging how her son picked it up especially for me which only I knew was false because Josh had no interest in all that whatsoever.


    I have known him for more than five years now. We met only on asions when we were kids but after I turned thirteen, he was seventeen, we met quite a lot after that.


    Daddy and Luka would arrange dates for us in private inds or any ce so private. It was done for us to get along which I think was more like for me to get to know Josh instead of him for he never gave any interest.


    He was marrying me just for the sake of marrying. We had no love. More than five years of going out on countless dates, we only kissed quite a few times. It was always like that.


    Mom would tell that not everyone got married for love. Not everyone got to live this extravagant lifestyle I was living in either. She made sense.


    I excused myself for a washroom break to take a breather. It was just so suffocating inside and walked out to the backyard.


    "There you are. I have been looking out for you everywhere."


    I turned around to see Josh, a few steps away, two flutes of golden champagne on both hands. He handed me one.


    "I...needed some air. "


    I said as I took a light sip of the tangy liquid from the ss flute. Josh did not say anything for a while and there was silence.


    He was gone out of the country for a business trip to Saudi Arabia and it was only yesterday that he arrived in Seattle.


    "I hope you liked my surprise."


    I looked up at him. What did he mean by surprise?? And then suddenly it made sense to me.


    It..it was his idea..it was Josh''s idea to get us engaged this soon at my birthday party, like a year before our nned wedding. But why??


    "But why?"


    I asked not being able to keep it in myself. He never showed any interest in our wedding or rtionship and suddenly he could not wait to put a ring on me?


    "Why not?"


    He counter-backed. His eyes which were smooth and calm before now were narrowed and ring at me.


    "It''s...its nothing. I just want to know why so sudden...??"


    I stuttered. I did not want him to be angry at me. Not at least tonight when it was my birthday and we just got engaged a few minutes ago.


    "Why do you think it is so soon?? People get engage even before that.. "


    Josh let out, gulping the liquid off his flute in one big gulp, and threw the flute away. I was a bit taken aback by that.


    "It''s fine...forget that I even asked..."


    I quickly decided to put a full stop to this conversation since obviously, it was not going really in a good direction. I did not want to ruin one perfect evening my daddy nned for us.


    But guess it was toote as Josh strode near me and pulled me closer to his suit-d body. My figure got static on his hold.


    "Oh, I know why?? Did you start taking quite a fancy of that singer you went in for your Christmas concert??"


    He spat it out on my face and I could not believe his audacity at that moment. How could he just??...


    Did he use me of that I was having an affair behind his back??? What the hell??


    "You are a living slut, Tinsley. Your parents, your friends might not know it but I do so I will do everything to keep you in a leach. You get that??"


    He threw insults after insults right on my face. He just could not let go of that one day when I was fifteen and kissed the boy of my driver.


    "Do you get that??"


    He roared making me jerk back in fear with bloody eyes looking at me, waiting for an answer.


    "Yes...yes."


    I gave him what he liked to hear.


    ______________________________________________

 Chapter 3 - DO YOU KNOW HOW HE IS??

    "You are a living slut, Tinsley. Your parents, your friends might not know it but I do so I will do everything to keep you in a leach. You get that??"


    He threw insults after insults right on my face. He just could not let go of that one day when I was fifteen and kissed the boy of my driver.


    "Do you get that??"


    He roared making me jerk back in fear with bloody eyes looking at me, waiting for an answer.


    "Yes...yes."


    I gave him what he liked to hear.


    He pushed me away from his body like a gue right after he got his answer.


    I stumbled back a little before gaining my bnce, standing straight as he walked away giving onest strong re.


    My eyes could not stop watering as it dampened my flushed cheeks. I was trying hard to keep myposure intact as the party was not over yet.


    I closed my eyes as that day shed in my mind. Taking me back to those days when life was so carefree and light.


    Autumn wind blew, maple leaves falling down. I was dressed in one of those summer frock with long sleeves, my red hairs blowing in waves.


    I giggled as he keptining about how my hairs were poking him on his face, disturbing him from reading the book.


    We were both seated under the big mango tree in the back of our mansion.


    Knees pressed to our chest, eyes running over the open book on our hands but I could feel him stealing nces at me making my cheeks bright red, resembling the red sinning sun marking the end of the daylight.


    And how it happened, what happened, neither he nor I could tell what led to that.


    But soon enough, our eyes were into each other, face to face, so close as if we were breathing the same air.


    His green eyeballs essed my face as he raised his both hands, dropping the book on hisp, lightly touching my cheeks, making my entire being hot.


    My heartbeat started raising as he leaned so closer, our lips parted, almost touching.


    When thest bell rang off in the church, we ended whatever distance we had in between us, giving in to our young heart''s desire.


    As his warm lips pasted against mine, the butterflies flew up from the pit of my stomach.


    The excitement, ecstasy, feeling of a boy''s touch made my soul flutter for the very first time, and right after that, we went on for it once again.


    We looked like the lovers of summer, parting in winter, kissing under the tree as the autumn wind remembered the moment of our life blowing all around us.


    ______________________________________________


    "Tinsley? Tinsley?"


    Someone''s voice calling out my name and constantly shaking me got me out of the dreand I had journeyed to in just a matter of seconds.


    I opened my eyes to see Anna Mariya, hands on my shoulder, her eyes on my face trying to get an answer.


    I first tried to look around where I was. And looked down as I felt the soft grass on my thighs and the cool wind blowing over.


    I was back in the garden, sitting under the mango tree, daydreaming about the event that happened five years ago.


    Shit!!! The party!!!


    I stood up abruptly, bending down to straighten my red Dior dress. I spoke out to Anna Maria in action in my panicked voice.


    "How is the party going on?? Shit, I lost the track of time, Anna Maria. Did theye looking for me? "


    On receiving no answer from the olddy in herte forties made I look up at her after making sure the crease of the dress was gone.


    "The party was over long ago, and everyone went to their home. Your parents are asleep and I had to search the entire mansion beforeing and finding you here, child. "


    Anna Maria answered making me close my eyes for a sh of a second in disappointment.


    I must have angered my daddy and Josh too for they could not find me anywhere when they were concluding the party. I knew I would have a handful to hear the next day from both the men.


    As if Anna Maria understood what I was thinking, she patted my tensed shoulder lightly asking me to walk inside with her.


    I obliged notmenting further as she followed me from step to step. The hall was empty with balloons, confetti everywhere. The chairs, the sses everything, everywhere.


    The maids and cleaners cleaning the mess upte at night as Anna Maria walked me up the stairs to my room supporting my tired frame.


    She opened the wooden door, revealing the floral violent walls of my room.


    I walked towards my walk-in closet right after. Anna Maria helped me out of the dress, sticking to my body, I kicked away my heels.


    She made my lukewarm bath ready in the bathroom as I waited patiently outside in my red lingerie.


    After the mind-cooling bath, I wrapped myself in the white towel and sat before the vanity to do my night beauty routine.


    Anna Mariabed my red hairs to make it tangle-free for the next morning. Our eyes joined as we look in through the mirror.


    "What??"


    She asked still continuing to brush my hair. I just gave her an unsure shrug not really knowing what she was asking.


    "Whatever that is going in that mind, ask away, child."


    She muttered giving me that knowing eyes. She always knew me so well. Even my own mother would not know me that much. Sometimes it made me think if Anna Maria was my real birth mother.


    She had been my nanny all my life till to this date. She knew me too well. Her eyes furrowed asking me to say it.


    "Do you know how he is?"


    I finally asked it out loud.


    ______________________________________________

 Chapter 4 - DO NOT WORRY!

    I tossed and turned around the bed, unable to sleep as my mind kept drifting to that summer.


    It was like his young face, smiling at me as we walked around the garden, hands slightly touching...It kept reflecting inside my head.


    I hugged the small pillow closer to my heart as I reminisced those good old days. I could not remember when was thest time, I was as happy as ai was then.


    " Madam Tinsley?"


    I raised my head up to see one of the maids, opening the door, standing there, and calling out.


    "What is it?"


    I asked, sitting up on the bed, I gestured her to get in and she obliged. Other maids followed and went straight towards the French window to open the curtains letting the sunlight in.


    "Your mother and father are calling you for breakfast."


    She informed and I could not help and wonder but why. They always left to work even before I woke up.


    I shrugged not knowing why and get up, walk towards the bathroom where the maid had readied my warm bubble morning bath.


    I felt like they must have been calling me down to scream and shout at me for my ignorant behavior yesterday at the party.


    Although I was in no mood to start my morning with being scolded like a child. But there was no escape so I got inside the Gi dress for the day and slipped in the t heels.


    My hairs were tied in a tight ponytail, my makeup was kept minimal. When I felt satisfied with how I looked, I finally stepped out of my room and descended the stairs unwillingly.


    I liked it when they were not here. I mean I do love them but it''s just that I did not like being scolded in the very morning.


    "There she is..."


    Mom said, looking over me, she was seated beside daddy. His eyes as always were stuck on the newspaper, the ck coffee server on the dining table. Fresh bacon, crisps, omelet, and toasts with mango juice were served neatly on the table.


    "Mom, daddy....good morning."


    I greeted both of them, swiftly kissing them on their cheeks and taking my seat opposite to mother''s, beside daddy. The maids got in to serve my te of food.


    I used my fork to cut a small piece of the bacon while waiting for them to start lecturing me about yesterday but when I got nothinging, I looked up at them. Were they giving me silent treatment??


    For me that was the worst possible punishment. I could never survive in a ce where people were not talking because I hated silence....because I had sedate phobia.


    "So aboutst night, I really did not intend for it..."


    "Sweetheart, your dad and I have to go out for a two-month business trip..."


    Mom interrupted me right away and I looked up at her from my te as I did not have the confidence to speak looking into their eyes.


    "Wait what??"


    I asked because the two-month business trip was too long. I only had daddy gone out for like more than five days but they were never out of the city together ever.


    "There is some stuff we need to take care of. It is rted to business, you do not have to worry about really. "


    Mom said, a light smile stered on her face but it seemed little too beyond than realistic. It felt like there was something more than that this trip was about.


    "Business is not your field, Tinsley so let yourself lose. "


    Daddy muttered, folding the newspaper and keeping it away. I licked my lips trying to stay normal of that quick insult daddy threw so shrewdly in my way.


    And it was soon when they stood up and bid me farewell as the butler took away their luggage out of the mansion.


    The house would feel so lonely without mom because she was always here if not for a daddy who spent most of his time in the office.


    Daddy went out, speaking away in his phone, his voice seemed so tense. I felt like something was wrong...like wrong.


    But I was pulled out of my reverie when mom tapped on my shoulders. She was ready to head off.


    "We might not be able to attend Josh''s party, five days from now so you will go representing us. Is that fine??"


    Mom implored, I gave her a quick nod. It was an easy job. I was going to attend the party anyway since he was now my fiance too.


    "Mom...Is something wrong?? It is just like you guys never went out on such a long business trip ever before?"


    I let it out not being to hold that inside for long. Because I had a bad habit of going around exploring forbidden things which I was not allowed to.


    Mom looked around as if checking someone would listen to whatever she was going to speak out next.


    Her eyes scanned where daddy was who still was busy on his phone, angrily shouting to the person on the other side.


    "There is a bankruptcy, Tinsley. Your father lost quite a lot of money in a deal and it blew up wasting all ourpany''s cash. "


    Mom whispered the whole part like she did not want anybody else to hear it other than us.


    "I and your dad are going to the site. We do not have anything left, Tinsley. It''s like even if we sell all of our properties, essories, still the loss that has incurred would not be enough to fill it up."


    "When did this happen, mom??"


    I softly yelled at her, shocked at the piece of information. A multimillion-dorpany blown up in one night??


    "I know it is a lot to take in but your dad and I are going to fix this...do not worry. You give your attention to getting in with Josh...maybe after the marriage, we might get some help...."


    Mom said, rubbing her palms above mines. I nodded positively. I knew Josh could help.


    "It will all be fine mom. Do not worry...go ahead."


    ______________________________________________

 Chapter 5 - THE CAR ACCIDENT!

    "I know it is a lot to take in but your dad and I are going to fix this...do not worry. You give your attention to getting in with Josh...maybe after the marriage, we might get some help...."


    Mom said, rubbing her palms above mines. I nodded positively. I knew Josh could help.


    "It will all be fine mom. Do not worry...go ahead."


    Mom and I shared onest hug before she bid me farewell for the final time and they were off in their Mercedes leaving me all alone in this huge ass mansion.


    I hummed to myself as I stepped away from the veranda and got inside the mansion again. The maids were cleaning up the breakfast table.


    After what mom had just revealed about our financial status being so down to drain, I could not help but feel a little bit uneasy about all of it.


    Although it was true, I did not know any of these but still, I was concerned about my family business.


    I had a n to go out shopping for my dress, shoes, and stuff for the uing Josh''s party but now I had lost all the interest in it.


    Regardless, I knew I could not just sit around, sulking and thinking about the crisis.


    So I got up and collected my credit tinum card, a gift from daddy, and my purse before heading out in my Bugatti Veyron.


    Sincest night, I had not received any texts or calls from my fiance and I knew that he was still mad at me and that was why he must have not really even tried to contact me in any way.


    I doubted that if Josh did not know about the crisis in Rutherford Corp and I was hoping that he was busy helping my daddy in all these.


    As I parked my car by the corner of one of the many stores I shop from, I got out and walked towards the store only to stop on the way when my phone started to vibrate.


    I halted and pulled the phone out to see who''s the message it was. As I ran my eyes over the text message from my credit card bank blew my mind off.


    They had sealed my credits, frozen my essories. That shocked me to no extent. What the hell was going on??


    I asked that question to myself as I ran my eyes over the text message over and over again, standing outside the entrance of the store.


    What if the financial crisis was really very bad than what I was expecting it to be??


    It surely did not help when you had no idea about even what caused the crisis. I had zero knowledge when it came to business stuff, I was raised to be ignorant about that stuff.


    Now that in moments like these I realized, how helpful it would have been if I knew at least a few details if not all.


    I had no idea what to do now and what not to do. I needed at least more than five thousand dors to buy my gown from Gi or Prada. That was the minimum cost for my shopping.


    I tried to refresh my banking ount, standing ideal as people went in and went out while I paused there trying again and again to check my ount details


    I called mom and daddy but I knew better than they would never answer. It was always like that.


    I chewed on my lower lips, a bad habit of mine as I tried to think what were the possibilities for me to be able to rescue myself from my frozen ount crisis.


    Debra, my shopfitter, came outside to confront me when she saw me hanging outside the shop.


    As mom told me not to expose the Rutherford bankruptcy case, I just lied to her not feeling well and excused myself to head back home. She walked me to my car. I thanked her before going out.


    In the midway, my stupid car ran out of gas and I could not help but shout at my fucking luck for the day.


    Nothing was going right. First the very bad news, then a frozen ount asset, and now my car out of gas.


    Where the hell would I find a gas station now?? I parked it by the side and got out. The sun was shining so bright.


    I wore my sunsses as I started walking my way to home. Thanks to God, it was not so far away from where I started off.


    All these events in the very short period just made me think of how important money was and how life would be if there were not enough cash.


    After a good long walking, with heels on my hands and sweat beads dancing on my forehead, struggling to breathe in the fresh air, I reached home.


    Anna Maria saw me standing outside, leaning on the gate, trying to catch my breath.


    "What happened, child?"


    She asked, checking me out from top to bottom. I huffed for air before nodding my head to answer her.


    "Just had a very bad day. My car ran out of gas and my banking assets were frozen. "


    I replied to her in gaps between to breathe. I was really so tired. She understood how much I needed to get inside so she did not interrogate me any further and let me in.


    I sat on the sofa, trying to calm my nerve after a good cool, and soothing shower, sipping on my lime soda, eventually checking my phone to get any kind of update regarding the crisis.


    I went on surfing on the inte to see if the information had been leaked but there was none. Maybe they did a good job hiding the word from the press.


    I found myself battling with my eyes to keep them open and did not realize when but I was fast asleep on the sofa.


    I woke up only when Anna Maria woke me up, with a face that looked horrified. I rubbed my eyes trying to gain my senses but it left me speechless the next moment when I heard Anna.


    "Se?or and Se?ora got into a car ident."


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 6 - THE FIRST HEADLINE!

    "Se?or and Se?ora got into a car ident."


    Anna Maria shook me next as I went to shock right away, not being able to believe what I just heard.


    "Child??? Are you ok?? You there??"


    My mind could listen to her voice but it was far...very far from it''s the source as my insides took their sweet time to process what my ears heard.


    I stood up when I found out what happened, ignoring Anna Maria''s voice. I strode towards where my cell phone was and tried my parent''s driver.


    The call went to voicemail multiple times I tried it and it confirmed my suspicion a little bit.


    What if my mom and daddy got into a severe ident??


    I tried to keep away from all those disturbing and negative thoughts but then it was very hard not to think that way.


    I did not even know what else to do, whom to contact, and try to find out more about how my parents were.


    So I tried Josh''s number but he was not answering either. I would not be surprised if he did not pick till the next day because that was how it was always.


    I would call, or drop texts to check up on him, he would only reply the next day or in someday, it would go beyond that.


    His excuse was the same. His busy and hectic schedule and work. He had no time to waste it on calling me back or text. It was what he would say and I ignored it all the time because I knew how he was. A replica of my father.


    But right now I needed him. He might havee to know or he must have been busy in some meetings and have not heard it.


    "What do I do, Anna Maria?? I have no idea whom to contact and how to get more information. What if they are badly hurt??"


    I let out, my voice breaking at the end. Anna Maria pulled me in for a hug, I hugged her back, scared.


    Although my parents were not the ideal type and always demanding and ordering me around, scolding me even for the smallest and smallest of things but they were my mom and daddy.


    My eyes watered as I sat all alone, the whole night waiting very impatiently to hear from them...or someone else regarding them.


    I just wanted to know if they were alright and safe. It was messing with my head not knowing how they were.


    My daddy''s publicist was very good in his ways of shielding information from the media so I could not find any sort of news either from the tabloids, inte, or anything else.


    Anna Maria stayed up with me too. She gave me thefort I needed at that moment, the warmth, the words I needed to hear at that moment to go on.


    When the next ray of sunlight hit my face, I found myself passing out on the living room sofa. A light nket draped over my body. It must be Anna Maria who did it.


    I sat up, rubbing my eyes, stretching my body. Last night was like a nightmare as I thought about it.


    I kept feeling like anytime then someone would call me to give me the bad news but nothing like that happened and right now I felt like everything was fine.


    I had the whole day to find my parents, visit in whichever medical hospital they were and we would all be fine.


    My eyesnded on my cell phone, I picked it up immediately and my eyes widened to see a text message from Josh. It was after past two in the morning. I must have fallen asleep by then.


    I swiped the lock screen open and pressed on to the text message Josh sent me.


    "I m sorry for your parents. Do not worry about the funeral, just get your ck dress. My mom would arrange everything.


    P.s just do not keep texting me after midnight...


    "


    I kept rereading the text he sent me trying hard to understand what he just said.


    The words ''funeral'' echoed in my mind. Whose funeral was he talking about?? And why did he refer to my parents in past tense??


    My mind was battling very hard to not just give up yet and surrender to those voices in my head....they were all screaming the dreading news at my face.


    Maybe...maybe Josh was drunk and he sent me this text....he might not have been in his right state of mind.


    He must have found my constant texting a headache and annoyingly sent that to me?? He had a very sick way of getting back at me.


    I stood up and called out for Anna Maria but she was nowhere. I roamed around the entire mansion and there was no one...not one soul. The whole ce was empty and forlorn.


    Where did the staff go?? What happened to the morning staff and why they were not in the kitchen yet??


    All those questions kept revolting my mind as I struggled to keep my mind in a positive state and not let it drift it apart from those negative ones.


    I kept chanting to myself that everything was fine...everything would be fine. It always worked for me.


    I found my way back to the huge living room and sighed in distaste not knowing where everyone was.


    What if my parents let all of them go due to the bank crisis?? That made sense. But that was really not my priority concern at the moment.


    The doorbell rang from the exterior gate. I looked it up to see the newspaper being dropped by the side through the inte. There were no workers to get it so I went out to get it.


    It felt good to feel the morning air right on my face. I bent down to pick the newspaper up and my eyes could not believe what the first headline said.


    My world copsed and shattered into millions of pieces.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 7 - Ill MISS THEM FOREVER!

    Everything happened just so fast that I could not even believe that I was an orphan from now on.


    Everywhere I see, I saw people dressed in ck, shoulders down, eyes mourning for my dead parents.


    They just kept saying how good they were, howpassionate my father was in his work, my mother was a good woman setting an example to the society.


    Every time they came up to me, they said the exact same lines over and over again. By then my mind had memorized it all.


    As said, Josh''s mother, Ramona stood by my side, handling everything. She acted like my guardian at the moment.


    Although Anna Maria stuck by me all the time as she became my emotional support for the moment.


    In the morning when I saw the top headline of the newspaper reading out " Rutherford owner and his wife passed away in a tragic car ident."


    It proved Josh''s text message to be true. My limbs gave up on me as I fell down on the concrete ground.


    I did not remember much what happened after that but I recall, crying my eyes out in Anna Maria''s chest, as sheforted me, mumbling that everything would be just fine.


    Hours after that, their dead bodies were bought into the mansion. My heart cried bloody mary as I saw my birth parents, lying there static, eyes closed, and so dead.


    I ran up to them and picked up my mother''s head on myp, trying to wake her up. Daddy was just beside her, eyes closed, face pale.


    Ramona arrived exactly at that moment and asked Anna Maria to pull me away from the dead bodies since I had to get ready for the funeral which was to be held today itself.


    Anna Maria forcefully took me away from them and led me to my room. The workers on Ramona''smand got to work as they had a funeral to prepare.


    She bought them all and I knew none of them.


    I knew that they were gone and it was very much real...the news was very much real even when my mind was trying to tell me that it was not...that they were all some sick hallucinations.


    Dealing with reality was the hardest part. Anna Maria bathed me, made me wore the ck dress that Ramona bought.


    It was very displeasing how our lifestyle in our ss wanted us to look good every time even when attending our own parents'' funeral.


    Ramona did not want to deal with another media controversy as she was already dealing with addressing the Rutherford industries crisis.


    When I descended the staircase, I could not believe the sight I saw. The entire living room was filled with people in ck, a ss of champagne in their hands as they kept murmuring gibberish ncing at my parent''s dead bodies.


    Ramona saw me and then helped me get down. The funeral was started right away after that. There were a few people who gave speeches about how great my parents were in person and it made me sick when I found out that everything they were saying was scripted.


    Nothing was real about it. They did not care that two persons were dead and that all this fancy stuff was really not necessary but I knew very well that even my parents would have done the same thing if they were alive.


    My mother would keep whispering near my ears to stay intact in with grace and saw sympathy even when I was not feeling any of it.


    Ramona was thest one to say a few words about them. She said how she was and my mother was great friends but only I knew that it was not true.


    My mother never liked her, neither did she. So they very rarely visited. My mother hated her fashion style and so did she.


    And here she wasplimenting my mother on her looks, how it was so pure and refreshing.


    I curled my palm into a fist as I controlled myself so hard to shout to the entire would to stop pretending as if they cared about my parents. Because we all knew they did not give a damn.


    The father chanted out some verses from the Holy Bible as everyone stood up and repeated after him.


    Anna Maria held my hands as she apanied me in walking towards my dead parents who were sleeping so soundly to ce my gand of white flowers.


    I was afraid to walk down all alone as I felt myself shivering. I kissed their hands as a strand of tear poured out of my red eyes.


    "I will miss you both forever. I love you both so much."


    I whispered near them, not letting anyone else hear it as I could note up as weak to the world right then.


    The moment I was about toe down from the stage, Ramona insisted that I address out a few words that were necessary for the media and stuff.


    I could not believe how I was bearing her presence...maybe because I was raised to be tolerant and nonobjectifying.


    I breathed in deeply as I took my position in between the stage. I could hear people mutter about things that my ears could not hear. They were giving me the disappointing look, the pity eyes as if after this incident, my life would be over.


    I cleared my voice, I was nervous as hell, my fingers were shaking as I curled them in a tight fist. I had not ever done a public speaking thing before this.


    "My...my parents...I will miss them forever..."


    I stuttered not knowing what to say. The disapproving res from the people were not helping either.


    I could see them making fun of me, mocking me with their eyes. I ignored all of them and just sprinted down the stage not caring how it looked good or not for the press.


    I was just exhausted...and very tired...


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 8 - FUNERAL!

    An hour after my dreadful address, my dead parents were set inside a coffin following all the strict Christian ceremonial rules and regtions.


    They were then taken away to the burial ground where everyone gathered and bid them onest farewell.


    I eyed them as the workers lifted their coffins up and set them inside therge pit hole dug out freshly.


    I came forward to shower the mud over the coffins nowid down. I could not believe that they were gone for real but it was the reality and I had to deal with it even if I could not.


    Anna Maria hugged me to herself as the coffins disappeared from my view under the mud.


    A little rain shower followed right after. People started leaving the ce, heading to their respective games.


    Ramona had no care of the world as she roamed around, speaking away how she had to prepare everything all by herself. It was in a way giving people the vibes that I did not know anything about.


    So once the main events of the funeral were over, I did not wait there one more minute to entertain those sick-minded people who faked sympathy and headed up to my room.


    Closing the door behind gave me a little peace, getting away from the crowd always felt calming but right then my mind was far from being calm.


    I sat down and picked up the nearby photo frame of me and my parents. I was in between them, mom was smiling, looking beautiful as always, daddy was not smiling, looking like he always did.


    I had spent my entire life with them. The outside would be alien to me. They did everything for me. They never allowed me to do anything that needed the expertise of any kind.


    They had made my life so easy, so bright but now that they were gone, I did not know what my life would be like from here on.


    It was just so disturbing to even think that I had no mom or daddy...I could not call those names out anymore.


    I traced my forefinger on the photo, repenting for my loss...seeing no future, whatsoever.


    Now that I recall my mother''sst words, how much concerned she was about me and Josh''s rtionship. It was only because she wanted to make sure my future was secured.


    I hated the feeling of being so dependant on someone else all my life. First, it was my parents and now that they were gone, it would be Josh.


    They had arranged everything for me for the rest of my life even when they were dead and not here anymore.


    I pasted the photo frame to my chest as Iid down on my bed. I tried to close my eyes, trying to think about all those times I spent with them.


    Now how sadly, it would all forever be in my memories. Their presence...their essence would forever be embedded in my mind..my soul and bones.


    _______________________________________________


    The next morning, I did not know when I was fast asleep thest night when the funeral party was still ongoing in downstairs.


    I had no idea when it was over. Not that I cared. I felt like I cared about nothing anymore. It was not good but maybe my mourning stage was not over yet.


    I felt like giving up and let on the bed all day but I knew better than that. I could not do any of that.


    It did not mean that since my parents were gone forever, my life was over. I knew a lot of people would be thinking that way but I wanted to prove them all wrong...so much...


    I got up from where I wasying and for the very first time, I made up my bed, pulled the bed sheet straight.


    It felt weird to be doing things that I had never done in my life ever before but now I knew that I had to get used to doing certain things by myself, and not depend on others for it.


    I readied my own bathing water and got inside the tub, cleaning away the remnants of anything from the day of the funeral.


    If I would have called out for Anna Maria, she would have done all of these all by herself and not let me do any of it but I needed to wake up and learn a few things from now on.


    After the cool bath, even though my mind was still in a frenzied state, I got myself ready in a simple baby blue Gi dress and let my hairs loose as I descended the stairs to face the world all by myself this time.


    I was going downstairs knowing, fully aware that my parents would not be there to greet my eyes.


    My father would not be there to read the newspaper, sipping from his cup, his usual ck coffee.


    My mom would be missing from the seat beside him, asking me about my day''s n.


    I was driven out of my reverie when I saw Anna Maria talking to some men in suits, carrying suitcases by the front door.


    I was not aware if we were expecting visitors at that moment but from the sound of Anna Maria''s voice, I could feel like something was wrong.


    Without wasting much more time, I climbed down and headed straight to where they were all gathered.


    Maybe they were people from my dad''s office, wanting to discuss the terms of the future of the Rutherford industries.


    I knew that my father hated the idea of me getting involved in the business but now that he was not here and he had no one as his heir other than me, so it became my soul''s responsibility to deal with it.


    So I braved up myself and confidently walked towards them. The officers greeted me, the moment they saw me. Anna Maria stepped sideways giving me the central position.


    "What do I owe you gentlemen giving me a surprise visit in the very morning??"


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 9 - THEY TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING!

    So I braved up myself and confidently walked towards them. The officers greeted me, the moment they saw me. Anna Maria stepped sideways giving me the central position.


    "What do I owe you gentlemen giving me a surprise visit in the very morning??"


    I asked, with a smile on my face but it fell off the moment I heard what they were here for.


    "Good morning, ma''am. We are from the auction team. We are here to start the necessary processing for the uing auction which is to begin any hour from now..."


    One of them said, the middle one very politely. I did not understand what kind of auction they were talking about.


    Not that I had not attended auctions before. I had done it several times, the fundraising auctions were the popr ones.


    But the thing was, things rted to auctioning were mentioned a day or two earliest to me but I did not recall my dead parents mentioning it to me anytime recently.


    "I m sorry but what kind of action?"


    I could not help but question them, not caring to get those mocking eyes of ignoranceter. I needed to be tough, I knew that.


    "Auction of this mansion ma''am including every piece of antique and valued possession inside."


    The same person replied to me and I could not believe what he just said.


    Auctioning off my house??? What the hell was even going on?? Where would I live if they sold this to someone else??


    "There must be some kind of mistake, there is not going to be any auctioning here. "


    I announced to them, trying to impose a sense of authority in it just like my father.


    "Ma''am sorry but if your father had not informed you about it. Since the Rutherford Corp bankruptcy, your father could not afford this ce along with all the other properties he acquired, so he had signed it away for auction..."


    He went on and on about how we had no penny left. So father had signed away all his properties in exchange for loans from the private banks but he could not lift up the bankruptcy off.


    So all the delegates were here after his death to collect the possessions that my father had signed off to them unknown to my knowledge.


    I was blown away when I recalled what my mother said when she was bidding me farewell. That how even after selling everything, they could not make it to the sum total of saving thepany.


    What I did not get was they would be selling even the mansion...our house?? Where would I live then from now on??


    Did they not think about me at all while making that stupid and ignorant decision?? Were their life only revolved around thepany??


    "So ma''am if you cooperate with us, we could get this done sooner. We need to ess every material of the mansion from dresses to watch to anything to note down their sum and worth."


    He said and waited for my approval to let them inside the house. Did I have a say in any of these?? Because my dead parents had already decided about it without thinking to share this important piece of information with me at all.


    So I just stepped aside and let them in, all of them. One by one all of them came inside and started to ess every piece of material inside the house, they spread across the living room, some of them went up, a few stayed back checking over the downstairs rooms.


    I stood there by the door, Anna Maria by my side as we both eyed how those strangers in the ck suit were rummaging through all our items making everything a mess.


    Not in my wildest dreams, I thought would have to watch my own house getting ready to be auctioned.


    Why would my parents do that?? Did they not think about me at all?? That if they would sell this ce, where I grew up my whole life, where would I go to??


    I was called upstairs in a few minutes after almost an hour into all these. I had to follow up, Anna Maria joined me too.


    I was taken aback at what they had done to my room. It was an utter mess. My walk-in closet deteriorated, all my vintage and ssic clothes, branded were dropped onto the floor as three women in suits to we''re counting the prices on them.


    They were not thinking about auctioning my clothes right?? That would leave me with no clothes either.


    "Wait, what the hell is going on here??"


    I asked after I took in the sight of what they had done. They were not allowed to go through my personal stuff right??


    "We are trying to estimate the price of all the dresses, ma''am. "


    One of them answered and it made me want to shut her up and kick her and her team of ck suits out of my fucking house.


    "But those are my personal stuff. You are not allowed to go through them just like that. "


    I reasoned but she shook her head in negative. What did that supposed to mean??


    "Ma''am, everything that came up with the house, inside and outside including dresses, underwear, everything, your father had given up the rights on them. So we have all the right to go through your ce."


    She exined to me in her polite, professional voice leaving me with nothing to say or speak.


    My father had sold me out to the market...sold everything that we ever had...he owned alongside the bankruptpany.


    The entire house was in chaos, ck suit people everywhere, messing with the things that belonged to us but not anymore.


    My mother''s paintings, all were gone...her jewelry collections, dresses, the vintage statues we bought through auctions.


    I stayed seated on one of those chairs by the side as they continued with their work. A big carry truck was parked outside as they took away all the materials we ever had leaving nothing behind but the in walls and ceiling.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 10 - MY WHOLE LIFE WAS DICDATED!

    When they left, everything was gone.


    The house was so empty...there was nothing left. The space was so big.


    It was almost past eight in the evening. Anna Maria had left for her home. Her granddaughter needed her help in something.


    I walked upstairs only to be greeted with emptiness once again. There was no sofa, no table, no nt pots, vases, photo frames...there was nothing.


    My bed was gone too. So I had no idea where I was going to sleep tonight either. All I was left with was the photo of my parents and me, the frames were taken off though.


    The dress that I was wearing since the morning was the only dress I had left Everything else was taken away.


    My dead father had sold me away...he had sold everything before he vanished from the face of the earth.


    I sprinted towards the kitchen in search of any food but got nothing. As there was no good. There was no grocery either. Nor that I knew to cook either.


    Like a ghost, I was roaming around the mansion all by myself, having nothing to do at all.


    Now that I was alone and no one to talk to, I could sense how my life was. It was totally depressing at that point.


    I knew that I should probably go to Josh''s ce but I just could not bring myself to do it.


    He being my fiance, had not called or texted me once after thatst text he had sent me. It was like he did not care about me at all.


    I knew that he was not in love with me or anything of that sort but he really did not care about me and that thought was disturbing...very disturbing to me at the moment.


    I could not help and think about why and how I had spent my entire life, training to be that man''s wife someday...only a yearter from now.


    Not to mention, my family had made me do everything that made me shaped like the perfect morous housewife I would be.


    I had no ambitions...because it was not going to change my future. My future was nned, it was decided way before even I could have a say in it or understand the word ''future'' alone.


    As I walked down the lobby, I could not help and feel so unimportant, dependent to the point that I could not survive without them, powerless till I could not even defend my self-esteem.


    I remembered the day of my birthday and engagement how Josh insulted me with the ''slut'' word when I was far...very far from it.


    If it were to be another woman in my ce, they probably would have broken up with Josh a long time ago.


    But I...I could not do that. I had no option but to follow whatever they asked me to do. I was raised to be the most feminine, obedient, and submissive type of girl.


    Thinking about all that, I now at the very moment felt nothing but hatred for my dead parents who were married just yesterday.


    I had forced myself not to think otherwise all the time. To think that they had everything nned out for me and it would be fine...everything would just work out but well it did not.


    My father was not the ideal type. He was the money-throwing type. All he ever cared for was hispany and his reputation in society.


    He did not care about how I felt. He never took it into consideration and that was what exined his action regarding him arranging my marriage to the Harrington heir when I was just six years of age.


    He saw me nothing more than a vessel who would carry the heir of the two most eligiblepanies in the future.


    And I would lie if it did not hurt me before. It always did. I just pretended to not care, ignore it as much as possible.


    I would try to look past his ws with the materialistic things he would buy me. Sooner thanter, I got obsessed with it, forgetting the real motive of my life.


    My mother...she was a sweet lovingdy with a sense of perfection in her own way. She was a well-respected woman in society.


    Mother had no problem dealing with my father''s nonchnt, discriminating behavior for she had gone through the same shit in her young age.


    She told me how the male figures of families like us, were dominating,manding, and always saw women as nothing more than their pets to y with.


    She had a hard timeing to terms with how her father, my grandpa wanted her to be. He was nning her to marry off to some rich men in exchange for business and there came my daddy.


    Although she said, he was different than her father. He was more open and loving and my mother felt as if marrying him was not that bad at all.


    She even said that when I was born, he was not disappointed. He adored me and loved me as his first child but everything changed when my mother lost the inability to give birth again.


    It was the turning point of my life..including theirs as their marriage never remained the same after that.


    To some extent right then, I could not help and me my mother for letting father do whatever he wanted and thought was right for me.


    She led him on and supported his every cruel decision just like the one that clearly meant for me to being sold to the Harrington''s.


    I was not naive but I had to be. I knew things but I had to pretend and act like I did not know.


    Fighting with them that time felt like useless since I was so dependant on them.


    Now fast forward to my future without them, I would be dependant on Josh forever.


    My life felt like it was dictated to me and I made no attempts in changing it in any possible way at all.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 11 - FAREWELL!!

    I got kicked out of my own house.


    If a day like that would have ever appeared in any of my wildest dream, I would have had thought of getting my own ce that I would not have let daddy use to it to sell forter.


    Now I was waiting outside, leaning on the gate as the bank people came and locked it saying it''s their property from here on.


    Looking back that ce used to be my home, not anymore. I had nothing with me to pack either apart from my phone and the photos.


    My dresses were taken away too including everything else so I had nothing with me.


    The white old van stopped in front of me and in out came, Anna Maria. The old woman pulled me in for a hug immediately. I hugged her back too. She felt like close to home right then.


    "My my child! How long have you been waiting outside, honey??"


    She questioned essing my body features for any disturbances or shit like that. She was like a true mother to me.


    "No no...Anna Maria. It only had been like a couple of hours. "


    I shook my head and replied to her. It was a lie though for some reason I did not like to see the sad and disappointing face this woman would make right after it because I was kicked out in the night itself.


    After the men left, I broke in through the one French window in the backyard and remained there, sleepless, thinking and thinking.


    I got outside right when the rays of sunlight hit the face of the earth because I did not want those cruel people toe back and humiliate me by throwing me out of the ce once again.


    Anna Maria narrowed her eyes at me trying to make me spill things out if I was lying which I was but I remained to act normal, trying to outsmart the old woman for once in my life.


    Thanks to God, the horn of the van went out. We both turned our backs to see Madison, Anna Maria''s only granddaughter, ring at us both through the open window.


    "I''m gettingte for my job. So get in first and then carry on with your mini chit-chat. Unlike some, we have to work hard to live and eat. "


    Madison let out with a sass. All of which was of course directed to me. I did not know why but Madison never liked me.


    When she was small, Anna Maria used to bring her here as she would babysit me but we, both the girls never got along.


    I tried a few times to befriend her but she just, I had and have no idea why but always hated me.


    She would look at me in distaste and like her eyes would get so much narrow to the point it was clear that she hated my very presence.


    "Common my child, let''s go."


    Anna Maria said, ignoring Madison''s rudement. She was sitting on the driver''s seat, chewing away from the chewing gum without care.


    I got in the passenger seat as Anna Maria sat in the front with Madison. Once we were all set, Madison started the engine and I had to bid a farewell to my home not anymore inside my restless mind.


    Throughout the journey, I checked my phone for any texts from Josh. I knew that I should go to him but I did not want to just turn up to him when I had lost everything.


    I had never been to Anna Maria''s house. So I had no idea where we were heading to as I continued to look outside the ss window.


    I remembered my life before this, I would not even give a damn about looking or checking the view out while my driver drove me around.


    I would have been too busy posting stuff or racking my eyes through the online Gi store, or any such thing on my phone''s screen.


    The van had no well-facilitated air conditioning system so it got hot inside. It was something unusual for me plus the seats were notfortable either.


    We took a u-turn and drove away from the main road into a neighborhood where houses were in close contact with each other.


    The ce itself would not be enough to have my whole closet fitted in. It was too small and I could not help but point that out in my head. I knew better than to speak it out loud and act like a snobby bitch.


    The van stopped by a small apartment, painted in white, mini flower pots were styled along the border. They were all pink lilies.


    I knew for one reason, it must have been Anna Maria for doing all of that. The old woman loved gardening.


    "Those are pretty. You must have worked hard to keep them alive and beautiful. "


    I said to Anna Maria once we got out, Madison went on to park the van by the side and got out and followed us a few secondster.


    "Those are not my hard work. Madison did it all. "


    Anna Maria replied, smiling lovingly looking back at the flower pots which only made it hard for me to believe as to someone like as tough as Madison would do that. Unbelievable.


    Anna Maria opened the door for the cosy house and stopped on her way to allow me first enter. I mouthed a sweet thank you and then got in without thinking twice.


    The living room was the quarter size of our veranda. A small set of sofa and table was ced in between. It was joined with the dining hall and the kitchen, the next door.


    I looked around trying very hard inside my head to stopparing stuff with what I used to have before but it was very hard not to when you have lived your whole life like that.


    "What?? Not up to your high profile standard??"


    I heard Madison''s voice asking me in a mocking tone.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 12 - UNWELCOMED...

    "What?? Not up to your high profile standard??"


    I heard Madison''s voice asking me in a mocking tone, smirking.


    "I mean if it were to be mistaken with a pce then girl, you were in for a major blow."


    Madisonughed right away after whatever she said, sitting on the sofa.


    I did not like the weing vibe at all but I had no choice. I needed to suck it up and move forward.


    "Madi behave. Tinsley is our guest now so try to be friendly and cooperate. "


    Anna Maria asserted with an authoritative voice to which Madi gave no heads at all. She just shook her head and continued tough as she found whatever she said a few seconds ago too funny.


    Just as I was to move forward and head to any one of the two-room that was before me. I was stopped on my way.


    "Wai...wait...where the hell you are heading to?? That is my room. "


    Madi shouted and got up from where she was seating and walked up to me. I was seriously done with her tantrums and taunting.


    I had done nothing wrong to her but she was just hell-bent on hating me and make things difficult for me when my parents died just a day from today and lost everything the next day sessively.


    All I needed was peace and a moment of silence to rethink my life but here I was so much engrossed with dealing with all the aftershocks of my life after the death of my parents and it was getting crazy.


    "Madi calm your horses down. She is our guest and we do not shout at them. "


    Anna Maria stepped in as she saw how both of us were ring into the eyes of each other as if one of us would kill the other any second.


    Of course, I would not kill Madi even when she was being a bitch to me for I had been taught to be kind adpassionate and not act like a crazy bitch in heat from the other side of the world.


    "Listen nana, I m letting too much in by allowing a total stranger live with us so do not ask any more from me."


    Madi spoke out, ring at me then moving her eyes to Anna Maria and then back onto me, going back to ring.


    "Tinsley is not a stranger, Madi and what did I tell you about?? Her parents are dead, take it easy on the poor girl. It has not been two days."


    Anna Maria''sment made me look like a pity case and I made no effort to say it otherwise because I still did not feel the need to get in between a fight.


    "She is a stranger to me and parents dying is no big deal. I have survived without mine till now."


    Madi remarked as if I was too weak and needed to grow up from being a spoon-fed child.


    Madi''s parents died long before even she was able to understand the first sybles and Anna Maria had been taking care of her ever since even when she was gone most of the time, taking care of me in the mansion so Madi imed that she grew up herself.


    "Plus why is she even here?? She could go back to her lifetime rich fiance''s house and live there. Why is she even here??"


    Madi added, now losing all her patience of seeing me here, in their house which had not been even half an hour.


    "Madi behave. Do not act like a bratty child. I taught you better."


    Anna Maria continued to stand by my side while I remained silent watching the nana and granddaughter fight for someone who shared no rtion with them.


    "Do not tell me to behave. You did not teach me a damn thing. I taught myself everything when you were out there, wiping this bitch ass and what not... "


    "Madison enough...go to your room."


    Anna Maria interrupted Madi right away. I was stunned at how things were turning out. Seemed like Madi hated me for I took all of Anna Maria''s time when she babysat me, giving no time to little Madison.


    "No...no yet when I thought this bitch grew up, everything would stop..."


    "Stop addressing Tinsley with the ''b'' word..."


    "No...no I would not. I m old enough to decide for myself who I want to address with the ''b'' word, nana."


    Madi shouted and walked out of the living room, thrashing my shoulder on the way and getting inside her room, shutting the door with a loud thud noise behind her.


    That was one hell of a wee one could get in anywhere for being the first time in somewhere.


    Anna Maria huffed, shaking her head in disapproval at Madison''s behavior. I did not know how to react and what to say anymore.


    I was really not looking for a wee with open arms and tears of joy for getting here. But I did not think of getting this kind of wee either.


    "Do not mind her words, child. She is just being childish and holding onto meaningless things."


    Anna Maria said,ing closer to me and petting my head. I nodded in her way. I knew better than to hold back onto her words.


    Plus I had mastered the trait of ignoring so it was not really a big of a deal for me.


    Anna Maria,ter on, took me to the next room which was hers but we would be sharing that room together, and honestly, I had no problem.


    I never liked it residing all alone in that enormous room of mine anyways. It was just too big with too many empty spaces.


    Since I had no clothes to change into, Anna Marianded me some of hers from before and I could not be more thankful.


    After getting fresh, and clean, I finally settled in Anna''s bed out of tiredness.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 13 - SPENT MY DAY DAYDREAMING!!

    It had been one whole day and Madison had note out of her room yet.


    We first thought that she was extremely angry and while dining, Anna Maria said that we should give her some time to get used to me being here.


    So we ate our dinner in silence. It was for the first time, I was having something so full and delicious for dinner as I was not allowed to eat anything else than sds and green leaves to maintain my health and figure.


    I ate it all without listening to the voice in my head constantly nagging me about how I should stop eating and run a mile for eating a quarter of it.


    But I did not let it get onto me and continued swallowing and savoring the food that Anna Maria made for us so lovingly.


    Later that night, she kept Madison''s food enclosed on the table and we went to bed hoping she woulde out and eat it.


    But when we woke up the next morning, the food was untouched and it made Anna Maria sad and worried.


    She knocked on Madi''s door but she did not answer. When she unlocked the door, there was no one. The window was opened, and it very quietly stated that Madi had left the house without letting anyone of us know about it.


    Anna Maria tried her phone so many times but the stubborn girl would not just answer. I did not know that she hated me being here that much.


    And that made me feel not just a little bit a lot worse for Anna Maria. I had no pity feeling for Madison but I cared about Anna Maria.


    I did not like watching her facial feature turn to sadness and remorseful.


    I felt like one of those who ruined a happy family in one go. Like an outsider who destroyed and crushed the happiness of a wholesome and content family.


    Anna Maria concluded that she must have gone to her own apartment which took me by surprise because I did not know or had any idea, Madison had her own apartment.


    Anna Maria filled me in with it saying how she earned that apartment by working her ass off in the job where she worked.


    I felt ashamed of how Madison and I were of the same age but she was earning, had her own apartment while I was broke with no house and no future or aspiration.


    While Madi grew up in with ack of facilities and I got everything anyone could ever dream of but it turned out all to be in clear waste.


    I spent my rest of the day, daydreaming and switching my cell phone on for the nth time, hoping for one of Josh''s texts to pop in if not call.


    And not a single text popped in or any call. I started to doubt if he even cared about me at all or let alone like me enough to consider me his fiance if not love.


    The news of Rutherford property all over the world being froze was everywhere. Looking at that, Josh should have known by now that I was kicked out of my only home.


    I strolled around the neighborhood with so many thoughts. I kept everything at bay by letting myself believe that Josh must have gotten busy in one of his business meetings and lost track of time.


    I would be meeting him at the party anyway so I was looking forward to things. The only thing that kept bothering me was not having a proper dress to attend the party.


    Later that night, Madison dropped by to collect some of her belongings. Anna Maria asked her to drop her anger ande stay with us again.


    But Madi was clear that she would note back until I was out of here. That led to another fight and currently, we were in the middle of it.


    "That is impossible. I m not letting Tinsley go anywhere, Madison. I swear by that so you better ept it and keep your differences aside and then we all can be happy."


    Anna Maria said, and this time before Madison could say anything, I finally decided to step in and get involved in the big discussion which was basically about me.


    "Madison...Madison stop...and take a breather now, will ya??"


    I started drawing both of their attention and before Madison could open her mouth again, I continued.


    "I know that me being here is not something you like but you know what?? You really should not bother much as I m moving out of here in five days'' timing anyway. "


    As I let that out, Anna Maria looked in my way, shocked, totally not expecting to hear that. The old woman''s face went back to being sad.


    "Josh, my fiance is going to throw a party five days from now and I m of course attending it so in five days, I would be out of here and you would never have to see me again so....why don''t we both remain to maintain silence and peace only for the sake of Anna Maria because that can have sacrificed a lot for the both of us..."


    I stopped right there as I got a little emotional saying thest part which was true in so many ways.


    She was just a nanny but she became so much more to me. She was paid to be with me and when every one of the workers who used to serve us left right away after my parents died, she stayed put with me through it all.


    She had always been there for me and I did not or could not remember one eventful day of my life where I had not seen Anna Maria by my side.


    Madison did not say much and just headed back inside her room mouthing how she could not be more excited in five days for me to finally bid farewell in this house.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 14 - JOSH?

    The next few days had been in peace. I and Madison avoided each other very well.


    When she was out, I would spend the time inside Anna Maria''s room or walk outside the neighborhood.


    Her food was served in her room. She avoideding into the living room and I avoided getting in her way.


    I was finally in a good ce without the fights and dramas. So I did not want to trade it for anything.


    Throughout it all, the one thing that was eating me up was the thought of not having a dress.


    I knew it was silly and all that but if I entered the party arena wearing something as simple and normal, the people and media would make a joke out of it, and not to mention Josh would be so angry at me.


    And thest thing I wanted was to make him angry. Because he was the only one for me right now.


    I felt like so dependent on him and that was the only thing I was good at being dependant on others, letting them solve my problems so why bother now changing it and it was toote for me to start over when I had nothing left.


    Later that night, Anna Marianded me a dress which was so pretty. It was unexpected because I did not know an olddy like her would possess such a pretty floral dress.


    It was not a branded one but it had beautiful embroidery on the sides which gave it a vintage look.


    She told that I could keep the dress as a gift from her and I could not be more happier.


    On the day of the party, I got freshened pretty early. Anna Maria did my hair in a simple bun. My makeup was kept normal and simple. I did not want to look like a doll, plus the makeup was Madison''s.


    We sneaked it out from her room when she had gone out for her evening walk.


    The baby blue knee-length dress gave my figure an elegant look. My cleavage was showing and being a heavy chested girl, my boobs looked too prominent in the dress.


    I was happy and satisfied with how I looked and was surprised too by how quickly I dressed up within just fifteen minutes when earlier, I used to take a total of at least one hour or longer to do the same.


    And added to that at least five of the stylist would be there to get me dressed to perfection but with Anna Maria, she only took fifteen minutes of it.


    Once ready, Anna Maria booked me an Uber and it arrived in a few minutes.


    I hugged the old kinddy for thest time before getting inside and bidding farewell to my free and carefree life for the rest of my lifeline.


    The party was in Josh''s house and it was located on the other side of the city. So it took me longer to reach there. Plus the traffic was way worst than before. I could only hope that I reached in time because Josh hated tardiness.


    It was an hour''s drive and I was so thankful to get by the right time. I paid the Uber in cash which I burrowed from Anna Maria and then finally started walking towards the huge Harrington pce.


    The guards let me in because they knew who I was without a fuss as opposed to how they were making other people wait even when they had the card of invitation.


    I made my way inside and the big wooden doors were opened automatically. I was greeted with how my life used to look before. And I felt like that was where I belonged all along.


    No matter if for others, it looked pathetic and too rich and boring, snobby but I grew up into this and it was where I would be the best fit than trying to start over being miss independent.


    The people close by looked in my way, giving me those eyes of ''oh look herees the girl with no parents'' but I gave no heads to them and started searching for Josh.


    He was the only one for me. No matter what my parents did but now I understand why they did it.


    They just wanted me to be having the same morous and rich life as before by marrying Josh.


    Their reasons were not all bullshit. It made sense to me when I had lost every kind of privilege and left with nothing at all.


    My eyes smiled when I spotted him but then the delight in my face faded right away when I saw a stranger woman, walking by his side, their arms entangled.


    What the hell was going on?? I wanted to shout but I knew better than to make a situation.


    But at that very moment when I was standing right there, watching him with another woman, he turned back and his eyes interlocked with mines and I thought that he would being to me right away but well....he did not...


    He just shrugged and continued to crack jokes andugh away with the woman and his friends.


    That made me wanted to just run away and never return here ever. Never return to him ever. What was he thinking getting along with a different woman??


    Even though he never had time for me, I never looked in any men''s way ever. But here he was with a different woman as his date when his fiance was mourning and waiting for him toe by.


    That made me way too angry to think straight and so what I did next was out of something, I would ever do.


    I strode towards where he was standing, knocking someone off by the shoulder but I did not stop to look back if the person was alright or not because I was in a damn hurry.


    "Josh?"


    I called out his name when I got near him.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 15 - WORLD CAME CRASHING DOWN ON ME!!!

    "Josh?"


    I voiced out his name and that made him turn back, so did the strangerdy and they both looked at me as if I was from Mars.


    My action gained attention from the other people standing closer to Josh and us. That made me a little ufortable but it was toote to back out then anyway.


    "Who is this?? Who are you??"


    The woman asked when Josh did not say anything, not even a damn word, and just kept looking at me. I answered for him to her.


    "I m his fiance."


    I told her the truth that he must have not informed her about. She looked a bit taken aback thinking I was joking but when she noticed how firm I stood to what I just told her, she looked in Josh''s way to get his confirmation.


    "No...she is not babe. She was just somebody I had a fling with. "


    Josh''s reply flipped my whole world upside down. As I eyed him with what the hell he was even saying.


    He was the one who wanted us to get married sooner thanter. My time stopped when he kissed the woman in his arms right in front of me.


    "...why??"


    That was the only thing I could ask. A strand of tear leaked out of my eyes and it continued to flow nonstop listening to what he had to say about me the next moment.


    "What do you mean why?? Your parents are dead and so the deal is off. Go home, Tinsley. I always knew you were a slut but I did not know, you would be a gold digger enough to try yourself get involved in a loveless marriage???"


    Josh let out, which made other people looked at me in disgust, and the usual gossiping and murmuring sound about me being the chick who was a bitch kicked off.


    "Now...I m doing a favor for you and I m freeing us both from this contract. "


    He sounded like someone very generous and good in moral values but both of us knew he was not good in either of those.


    "No...no you are not doing a favor. You just ruined my entire life in just a sh of seconds, Josh. My whole life was revolved around you. How could you just call us off in the swift of your fingers??"


    I could not help myself and let whatever I wanted to speak slip out of my mouth.


    "Back off bitch. He said he does not feels anything about you so go home."


    The woman said and I could not stop myself the next moment as anger and exhaustion took my whole being and Inded a tight p on her pretty cheek.


    She fell down on the floor. I was shocked at my own action but before I could mouth sorry to her, I was pped back and it was not just anyone who did it but my own fiance.


    I lost my bnce and stumbled backward when someone held me back, steading me by holding my shoulders.


    "Stop with your fucking craziness. No wonder your own father did not believe you with his own business. So he signed it for me. "


    Josh''s next words broke mepletely. My own father betrayed me for a lifetime.


    I was willing enough to spend the rest of my life with a disgusting man whom he chose for me to give him an heir and him not for once thought about my future.


    "Fuck you Josh and fuck my father. You guys used me."


    I said those words out very painfully. I was never good at arguing. I could not stop my sobs either. It was just too much to discover how my own father trusted a stranger rather than his own blood...his own daughter.


    "So now you know and drop the act for god sake and get the fuck away from here. "


    That was all he said before moving my way and pulling my right hand up to his face and removed the ring off of me.


    "Now...you can go. "


    With that said, he signaled the securities to escort me out and with everything that had happened so quickly, my mind was still trying to process what had just happened.


    I stopped the guards from touching me and silently went out of there not before grabbing a full bottle of vodka from the bar and smashing all the sses on the way.


    It surely did not make me feel any better. I walked out from there before he humiliated me more.


    Everything that took ce in the evening broke mepletely. I had nowhere to go, no ce to live, wasted all my life serving for the men who backstabbed me in the end.


    As I kept walking down the street, barefoot because I took off my heels as they were too much to walk on, I could not help but have disturbing thoughts in my head.


    I was so hopeful thinking that this was my destiny...Josh was my destiny even if I liked it or not but everything took a u-turn on me.


    Suddenly I had the urge of puking my guts out and so I fell down on the street and vomited everything that I had eaten out of my system. The alcohol had taken control of my body by then.


    Suddenly when and how, but two pairs of hands from behind held my hair back as I emptied my stomach of anything.


    "Are you alright??"


    He asked as he started rubbing my back soothingly while I coughed badly. I was a mess by this time.


    "Wat...water...water."


    I voiced out. I needed water because I was thirsty. And felt like I swallowed a gallon of sandy stuff.


    "Wait here. I will go get water from my car."


    The man said and went right away. I was so wasted that I could not bother even mouthing a thank you to the stranger.


    When he returned, he handed me a bottle of unopened water and I gulped it down my throat right away.


    When I was done, I finally looked up to see who he was and could not believe my eyes when I saw him in the moonlight...his face was not clearly visible due to the poor lighting but it felt like it was him....


    ....and who knew maybe I was way too drunk.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 16 - INTERESTING PARTY EVER!!

    "I m not taking a no for an answer, Kian Wilson. You will go to the party and then return. It''s that simple."


    Valeria Wilson said, taking a little sip from the red wine flute, eyeing her nephew, expecting an immediate yes from his side.


    Kian groaned in frustration. That was the only thing he might be hating all his life.


    ''Parties'', were something he hated the most. And he had a valid reason for it which he did not feel ready to share with anyone yet.


    "Valeria are you trying to kill me??"


    He asked, cing both his hands on his chest exactly where his heart lied, faking pain in his facial expressions.


    "No. Why would I even dare to? You are my only living heir."


    Valeria scoffed tasting the wine, trying to figure out the details of its taste with her tongue.


    "So is that what you only care about? Me taking over yourte husband''s legacy?"


    "Is it not fair after I raised you for so long and not expect that in return?"


    His aunt questioned him, raising an eyebrow. He sighed, giving up.


    It was always useless to get into an argument with his aunt and consider it off winning it which would be his dreame true if he ever did in the future as for tonight, he could not win it.


    Valeria Wilson, wife ofte George Wilson, heir to the multi-billion dor oilpany.


    After his untimely death, all his wealth and aplishments were named after his beloved wife whom he loved with everything he had.


    But they had no heir of their own and after her husband''s death, she did not want to go back and pursue love again for what she had with him was enough tost her for the entirety of her life.


    So she adopted her elder sister''s son after her death due to the cruelty of the vile world and raised him as her own.


    Twenty yearster, he had been running the business with such an expertise and had led the empire to one of the highest peaks of its time.


    But to her dismay, Kian was a loner. He always had been ever since he was a boy. She had tried hard to get him out of his hard shell but he just would not oblige.


    And it was time that he must settle in his life. He was already thirty and two and she expected him to find a wife sooner by then thanter but the man was not really taking that fact of life seriously.


    Her husband, George, he was like that too as she recalled from what she heard from histe grandparents.


    If only if he had listened to them and married a little quicker, maybe they would have had a child of their own...because he died a year after their marriage leaving her broken and miserable.


    Kian resembled him...so much. He too avoided the small gatherings of the rich associates leaving them to her task of operation.


    But this time, she had decided to let him be in charge of it. Who knew if he met the girl who would change his mind for a change?


    It was then in that faithful evening, he had left for the small gathering at the Harringtons. He had been doing business with them for quite a few years now.


    It was another boring party. Everyone greeted him with respect and admiration. Josh Harrington was just so pleased to have him there for Kian Wilson rarely visited in events like this.


    But then the calm, silently boring environment changed when the blonde-headed young woman dashed in through the hall, iming the host of the party her fiance.


    He would not lie and say he had not noticed from before. He mistakenly hadid his eyes upon such rare beauty, standing by the entrance, running her eyes around as if searching for someone amid all the people.


    He had heard from the small gossip that she was the daughter of some rich parents who died and lost all their fortune leaving the poor girl totally dependant on her promised fiance.


    So he had gotten the hang of how the story went. From what he saw, she was the straight-up example of a damsel in distress and he hated such women with all his might who waited for others to help them.


    He liked someone with a strong personality and who was able to defend themselves without anyone''s help.


    Still, he could not help but feel bad for her when he heard how painfully she mouthed how he ruined her life for good. The words came out from her crying mouth with so much agony and misery.


    But he could not me Josh Harrington either because if he analyzed the situation logically, getting tied in a loveless contractual marriage was the worst for both him and her.


    The party went back to its previous state right after she left with a bottle full of vodka, destroying the bar counter out of extreme anger and fury shocking everyone sealing their theory of how crazy she was.


    Even Kian was taken aback when she pped the woman standing next to her ex-fiance because she looked the type who would bear all the worst and cry, running away.


    She proved him wrong at that and what Josh next did by pping a woman made him look at him differently than before.


    But it was better not to bring in his personal judgment on the business world.


    The helpless girl stumbled backwards, running her palm over her right cheek where Josh just pped her.


    She would have almost lost her bnce if he had not walked forward in that very moment of time and held her upright, his hands firmly holding both of her shoulders as her addictive feminine smell hit his nose.


    Right after that, he too decided to leave. It was one of the most interesting parties he had ever attended. He did not bother to bid farewell to the host of the party anymore.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 17 - NO WARNING KISS!

    Kian stopped his Mercedes Benz when he spotted the same dressed girl sitting by the footpath in the dark, with street lights only lighting the ce up partially.


    He looked around and got out of the car as he noticed there was no one nearby. Only a few streetlights were on making the area seemingly darker.


    He moved towards her thinking she would stand up and look at him but he did not do any of those things as she kept looking down. He wondered why.


    But then he heard those voices..the voices someone makes when they were puking his or her guts out.


    He did not know why he did what he did next but regardless he did it anyway.


    He bent down and grabbed a hold of her red smooth hairs in the back, helping her in emptying her system. She smelled like vodka.


    Once she was done, she turned back to look at him and as if she knew him, her eyes widened to their full length allowing him to stare deep into her blue eyes.


    When she mouthed for water, he immediately found himself standing back up and walking away to give her water.


    It was shocking how the man he was, never ran around taking others'' orders, here he was doing the same thing from a total stranger who he had no idea about who she was.


    She snatched the bottle of water from his hands and gulped it down her throat opening the lid of the bottle in a haste.


    She seemed like she had not drunk even a drop of water for more than a decade, left stranded in some unknown desert ind.


    The drops of water spilled out of her mouth and dripped over her skin, flowing down her jaw, length of her neck, and then disappearing in between the valleys of her exposed chest.


    Kian was watching the entire journey of the drops of water and had disturbing thoughts in the back of his mind which was hard to ignore.


    Regardless of that, he separated his eyes from there and calmed his horses down to think straight.


    He did not know what was the deal with this girl because he was affected by her a lot and that was not a good thing at all. It was more rming when he had no idea about her identity either.


    She finished the bottle of water within a few seconds of time and then threw it away, turning to look at the person who offered her the water.


    Her eyes once again essed his face and could not believe it when it was the same face as his...how could it be??


    Was the question that got echoed inside her drunk mind. She moved closer which made Kian a little taken aback as she kept moving her face closer to his and extended her right hand to trace his cheeks.


    Her eyes seemed as if they were delighted to see what it was seeing. The tip of her fingers made a small circr motion as she kept tracing his taut handsome face.


    "Kian??"


    Tinsley called out his name as she eyed the man in front of her in awe. He was here...after all these times.


    Meanwhile, Kian did not know how this strange girl knew his name and naming him out as if she and he had known each other for a long time.


    "You...you are here???"


    She said and this time, both her palms cupped his face as she moved more closer to him.


    Kian sucked his breath in totally not expecting that. Their face was too close for his liking and he could not help but part his eyes away from those captivating orbs of hers. They were staring right into his brown ones.


    He should not be surprised by someone knowing his name as everyone knew it but...but the way she was calling it out felt so strange.


    "You are here, Kian..."


    Her joy was evident in her voice as she squeezed his hard cheeks. It was no puzzle to figure out that she was drunk yet he made no attempts to stop her.


    Her memoryne carried her back to those days when he and she were kids, running around her mansion gardens, chasing each other.


    He was the only friend she ever had. She could not get over how she had lived so long without even trying to search for him.


    She remembered all their time spent together as those were the only times where she felt alive and full. He made her heart flutter and glitter.


    She just did not know he would grow up to be such a good-looking man. Well, he always had the face that resembled the prince charming from the Cindere movie.


    She knew that she liked him...although she could never tell him that more like could not dare to expose her feelings to him...she was always the vulnerable one.


    The kiss that they shared underneath the mango tree that autumn was still fresh in her mind.


    Her heart was thumping against her heart as she could not help herself anymore and her eyes drifted down to those full red lips again.


    Kian was aware of what she might do next. He had followed where her gaze had moved to and could not help but wonder if she would really go for it...would she really end up pasting her petal like lips against his?


    He knew that he should stop her as she was clearly drunk and not in the right state of her mind but something inside of him did not want to stop at all.


    In fact, he felt the immense need to pull her more closer and sh his lips right against her soft ones to discover her taste.


    Maybe it was because he had not to get in bed with any womentely due to his busy schedule. Maybe that was why his aunt was asking me to let loose a little from all the work.


    When he was in the middle of thinking, she mmed her lips onto his without a warning.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 18 - GET ME OUTTA THIS ITCHY THING, COME!!!

    He remained static as she pasted her lips to his and did not move for a while.


    Her mouth reeked of alcohol and smell which should have made him push her off of him but something about her lips...they seemed so familiar.


    She held his face in between her hands, her mind was drowsy but she knew...she could tell it was him...it was him and no one else.


    So she closed her eyes and started moving her lips the same way they did it in that autumn, just before summer bid them farewell.


    It was astounding how her mind had memorized each and every way his lips moved atop hers.


    The feels of them made her cells glow, bloom out like the flowers, her goosebumps arose, her mind took a bath in the ocean of dopamine and euphoria for the very first time.


    His hands moving all over her body made her head swing, she became a putty in his hands, her body leaning onto his for bnce as it would fall if she did not get the support to stay upright.


    Tinsley tried to make that day under the mango tree to revive but she could not when her partner in crime was not responding.


    That should have stopped her but she was not in her right state of mind anymore. All she knew was that he was here...finally.


    So she after not getting any kind of response from him, her lips moved down, showing kisses on his jaw, her hands slipped off of his face, now holding his shirt cor and trying to get rid of it to create more space for her mouth to connect to his naked skin.


    It was at that point, Kian realized what was going to happen if this was not stopped right away.


    The crazy girl was drunk till her neck and had no sense of right or wrong of whatever she was doing.


    He tried to set her off but she did not budge at all and forced herself onto him once again.


    "Uhm....ugh..."


    She moaned and continued her assault on him. He was trying to set her away without being harsh but the damn girl had a tight grip. He thought to himself.


    She was sticking to his body and skin as if it was her property and she owned him. She was behaving as if she had no shame in her bones.


    In the process, he did not intend to hurt her but he did it when he pushed her away from a little too hard and she fell straight down, hitting her head on the concrete footpath.


    "Fuck!!!"


    Kian cursed when he saw what he just did. She was not moving and remained static where she fell down.


    He quickly got over to her side and checked that her head was bleeding a little. rmed and angry at himself, he picked her up bridal style and went towards his car.


    Her face was now more clearly visible to his eyes and he could not help but admit she was beautiful. His hands itched to touch her smooth cheeks, they looked sticky and red. It must have been from crying her eyes out.


    He was aware of the fact that her fiance broke with her up very cruelly. He did not know much what was going but he knew that all those things had affected her pretty badly.


    She had no cellphone, no purse, cards to identify her. So he had no option but to take her to his home.


    Maybe after she would wake up tomorrow morning, he would ask his driver to drop her off at her home.


    Thinking that he drove her to his house and not the condominium as there were no maids to look after her when the next morning she would gain her consciousness.


    He would be out for work in the very morning so it was good to keep her where there would be people to look after her.


    On reaching home, he carried her up again but stopped on his tracks inside the hall when he heard his aunt, Valeria''s voice.


    She was supposed to be out by now but here she was. He groaned in frustration as now things would have to change.


    If he asked one of the helpers to keep her in one of the guestrooms, his aunt woulde to know about it and would make a fuss out of it thinking he had some kind of thing for this girl.


    That was thest thing he needed at that moment. So he waited until his aunt was out of the front and very gracefully and secretly walked up to his room. It was the only ce no one was allowed to burge inside without his permission.


    He closed the door with his foot and moved towards his bed and ced the sleeping beauty there.


    He sighed in relief for sessfully sneaking out from his aunt''s nose with an unknown woman who was nowying on his bed veryfortably.


    He had wrapped his white handkerchief around her head to stop the light bleeding. He was sorry for pushing her away too hard but it was not intentional at all.


    "Anna Maria..e..get me outta this itchy thing..e.."


    And out of nowhere, she started moving and squirming on the bed, her hands pulling up on the dress, trying to get it out of her body.


    Kian shook his head not believing what was going on. The woman, eyes closed and drunkenly voicing out, calling for someone to get her out of the knee-length, sleeveless dress.


    And he had no idea what he was going to do with that. She kept making disturbing noises about how the dress was sticking and hurting her body.


    From that, he got an idea at least of how she would be. A total drama queen who had no sense of self-respect and made others do her work in fact changing her clothes.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 19 - SO BLOODY WRONG!!!

    Kian thought of not helping the bratty senseless woman and instead headed inside his washroom and the joint closetter to get fresh.


    He would have asked the helper to change her clothes but now with his aunt here, he could not do so for she woulde to know about her and then God only knows what would happen next.


    So the time when he came out freshened and ready to retire for the night, he cursed in his breathe on the sight that showcased in front of him.


    Tinsley in her half-conscious state of mind had torn open the dress in two revealing her nude skin to him in a skimpy bra and underwear which hid almost nothing from his eyes.


    He could not believe what he was seeing but tried hard to keep his eyes away from the view even though it was not easy to look away.


    "My skin itchy, Anna Maria."


    She snorted in annoyance, feeling ufortable, rolling from one side to the other side.


    Kian kept static where he stood watching the drunk stranger''s tantrum on his bed. He was going crazy. But he too knew that if he did note out with a quick solution, this woman would not let him sleep quietly.


    "Ouch...get this thing off of meh...ANNA MARIA!!!"


    It was only when Tinsley screamed out in extreme frustration, Kian moved forward in an attempt to make sure she did not shout one more time or else his aunt would barge in through the door.


    She was in the room right next to his.


    He sucked in a deep breath, trying very hard to keep his manly thoughts only to himself as he took a seat beside her and slowly peeled the half-torn dress off from her delectable body.


    It was true that he had a beautiful angel on his bed only that it was no angel but a bratty woman totally crazy and wild.


    Now she onlyid in her undergarments and he could not part his eyes off her milky skin. She yawned and rolled to the other side.


    He sighed in relief thinking that the lost princess was finally in peace and so he could be in peace too.


    But then he saw a ck piece of cloth fly right before his eyes andnded on the floor, near his feet.


    His eyes almost fell off from his socket when he realized what it was. It was her bra. He turned to look at her sleeping half-naked and hands going down to slip thest piece of clothing off her in a second timing and there was nothing he could do.


    And in a matter of timing, it was out too. The moment seemed to freeze as he eyed apletely naked woman, sleeping on his bed,zily moving from here and there in the big king-sized bed.


    "Mhmm...now I likey..."


    She muttered under her mouth, not clear to Kian''s ears. Regardless his mind was too upied to listen to her at that moment.


    His eyes as if pulled in by the gravity, could not part them off her attractive body. Her feminine curves so delectable, her back facing him prohibited him from giving a clear view to her perky breasts and in the back of his mind, he felt like to walk over to the other side just to have a look at it.


    He had seen plenty of women and a view like that should not have affected him but a man was only a man in the end.


    Her shapely butt exposed, her long smooth legs making him want to trace his fingers over the skin and feel its softness.


    It was in that moment of time, he realized where he was heading too and cursed under his breath. He was lusting after a drunk woman, senseless at that. It was so bloody wrong.


    He immediately stood up and pulled the sheets over her body, shielding her nude body from his naked eyes.


    It was past midnight already and when he heard no moreints from her highest, he decided to sleep too.


    But now the problem was where would he sleep?? He would not sleep with a naked woman on the same bed even when it had lots of empty spaces.


    The elongated sofa was hisst option. In moments like this, he could not help but wonder what made him bring this root of all problems here.


    He could have just driven past her but then who knew what would have happened to her if he had not reached her at the right time.


    Some lose drunkard would probably try to take advantage of her and so he was thankful that he was able to get in time from stopping any of those happening.


    He had seen her face at the party when Josh rejected her and even broke their supposed engagement off.


    How her soft and rxedplexion right now turned into a dreadful and horrified one as if her whole world collided against a great big stiff wall and shattered into millions and millions of pieces.


    It was cruel to call off an engagement like that. Even a man like him who had zero interest in all of these could not help but conclude into that.


    His eyes shifted from her closed eyes to her parted lips and his mind took him back to the time when they were pasted against his.


    His forefinger traced his lips where she smooched him when he had no idea of her intentions at all.


    She acted as if she had known him all her life and was so delighted to see him after all this time but strangely he had never seen her before since tonight.


    Did that make her an actress who could act so well that it made people confuse themselves??


    He was aware of the Rutherfords and hade to know about the ident but he did not know of the couple having a daughter because Josh was dered to be the temporary heir to thepany.


    TO BE CONTINUED!

 Chapter 20 - WHERE I LOST MY VIRTUE TO AN UNKNOWN STRANGER...

    My head was hurting so damn bad that I felt like to stay back and keep resting wherever I was resting.


    But then the events of yesternight came rushing in my mind like a tornado and I rose up in lightning speed, the cold air hitting my skin in a speedy strike which made me look down to discover that I was not wearing a damn piece of cloth.


    I was naked, the white sheet resting on my waist. I quickly tried to pull it back up to cover my nude figure only to find an arm brushing over my back that made me freeze on my spot.


    I turned sideways to see a man and my breathing bid me farewell for good. He was naked too in his upper half, the lower half was covered by the same sheet as mine.


    I did not know what had happened to me to be in a situation like that for I had no memory except for Josh''s face humiliating me at the party and me rushing out of there. After that, there was nothing that I remembered.


    I was having all kind of disturbing thoughts and I felt like maybe I had done the deed with this unknown stranger in my drunkard mind.


    Or else my nudity and the man''s nudity could not be defined. I had given up on my virtue too unknowingly to an unknown stranger and that too when I was drunk and out of my mind.


    Ever since the death of my parents, nothing was going or happening right. But after what I heard from Josh, I did not want to think about them at all. They had left me with nothing.


    I very slowly got out of the bed, trying to not make even the tiniest of the sound so that I did not wake this strange man up.


    My half torn dress wasid on the sofa chair nearby and there was no way I could be walking out of here wearing that.


    My gazes fell upon the huge walk-in closet to the right and it stroke to my mind of why not just to burrow a few of the stranger''s clothes so that I could be out of here before he woke up.


    So without wasting any further time, I tiptoed way to there and slipped in a white in shirt which was way bigger for my size but it really did not matter at that moment. I thrashed the shirt into the oversized pyjama pant and tied my hairs in a messy bun.


    I looked like a damn mess but the beggar could not be choosers so I had to be satisfied with whatever I had.


    I was not used to stealing and so I left a message for the man that I would return his clothes someday but at the moment I had no choice but to burrow his as I could not walk out with mines.


    Once I was satisfied with the letter, I kept it on his study table which had aptop, mobile, some files so I figured out that to be the ce where he must work.


    Very carefully without giving onest nce at the stranger''s face, I clicked open the door and walled out.


    The moment I stepped out, a delicious food smell hit my nose and that was when I realized how hungry I was. My stomach was grumbling, crying cats and dogs for even a grain of food to grace it with its presence.


    I was very well aware that I was in a stranger''s house and I had no knowledge of the exit and entry path yet but nevertheless I let my feet follow the smell.


    When I got down the stairs, I was greeted by arge white hall that was even bigger than the one we used to have. Workers running around in their dress.


    I was reminded of how my life was before all these happened. A lone tear poured out of my eyes as I could not help but cry inside for not being able to cry out on the outside, screaming and cursing.


    "Madam, the breakfast is ready. "


    I was drowned out of my thoughtnd when I heard the woman standing beside me in her ck and white uniform asking me politely whatever she asked before.


    She had to be the maid and she was thanking me as some guest of course for calling me ma''am and then asking for breakfast.


    I did not know if I should correct her or not or just y along and at least have a few bites of the delicious food before heading out of this ce.


    The idea seemed great so I followed thedy as she walked ahead of me, leading us to the dining hall and my eyes brightened up at the sight of all the food served so decoratively on the table.


    She pulled the chair for me and I sat down hesitantly, my stomach was grumbling so hard that I did not wait for her to make a separate te for me.


    I grabbed one croissant from the basket and dipped it on the bowl of white meionise before giving it a good bite without any care of how that made me look.


    Ipleted the croissant very quickly and stuffed two of them in my pant pocket. The maids were looking at my moves strangely but I had no care.


    I knew that could not wait any more here. What if the stranger woke up and saw me?? I was in no way ready to face him after what we didst night.


    So once done, I thanked the woman who bought me into the dining hall and let myself out after asking her about the exit way of course.


    I was out within minutes and breathed in relief after finally getting away from an unknown ce, where I lost my virtue to an unknown stranger.


    There was nothing anymore for me to lose...


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 21 - HIS LIFE WOULD BE IN PEACE THEN...

    I have been roaming around in circles literally not knowing what to do and what not to do.


    I had not framed a n in my mind when I escaped out of that ptial house.


    I could have gone back to Anna Maria''s house but I did not want to be any more burden to anyone plus Madison hated me too much for me to get back there once again unweed.


    So here I was three hours passed since I had no luck finding myself a job of any kind.


    I did know that for survival I needed cash and for it, I had to find a job even though I have not worked in my entire life until now, I knew it was time for me to pull my socks up and get to work just that I had to yet find one.


    I went inside all the restaurants asking or expecting at least somewhere they could fit me in because I was not kitchen friendly at all.


    They all had no space for me. Everyone was full or were running on a tight note. I could not say anything more but that I understood.


    The next stoppage was the shops, small mini-stores and yet I could notnd myself one spot in any of those spots there.


    Walking around in my very fashionable clothes for three hours straight had my feet paining with no luck of one good news.


    I sat down on the nearby pedestal, huffing and sighing out of tiredness. Never in my life had I worked so hard for anything although it went all in vain.


    I took out the second croissant that I took from that house and started eating it. I had no damn money not even fifty bucks with me to buy myself lunch and I was very hungry.


    I had to save thest croissant for my dinner if I could notnd myself a job in the next few hours. I would be both homeless and with nothing.


    Never have I in my life ever thought or dreamt of such a day that I would have to live one day.


    If only if I did not listen to my parents and continued my studies andnded myself even a small job, I would not have to live this day.


    A lone tear escaped my eyes, I rubbed it off with the back of my hand. I felt so helpless and worthless.


    I could see all these people walking to and fro, men and women, all busy at work. All of them work hard to earn their living while I used to just live off of others.


    Maybe this was God''s way of punishing me for all those times when I spent without the care of the world.


    In my heart, I could not stop ranting at how much I hated my daddy, mom, Josh, his parents and everyone else but I knew I was the one that I should be hating more than anyone else because eventually down the line, I signed myself for this kind of life.


    _________________________________________


    Kian woke up to find that the mystery woman was nowhere. He got up in alert thinning what if his aunt found out.


    So he stormed out of his room, slipping in a white t-shirt and he had no idea of how he got on the bed for he remembered too clearly that he had slept on the sofast night.


    But then he stopped when he saw a white note on his study table just near the door.


    There was no such kind of white sheet kept on itst night. He picked it up and unfolded the piece of paper only to see it being addressed to him. It was a letter.


    His morning eyes read through it and could not help but admire the handwriting. It was so smooth and lucid.


    While reading it, he walked inside his closet to see that one of his shirt and pants were missing. Her torn off dress was folded in its ce.


    Was he so dead asleep when she roamed around his room and closet, stealing his clothes, wearing them and then even got enough time to write him a letter stating she was only burrowing his clothes and not stealing them before leaving?


    He folded the letter and threw it in the dustbin. He also kicked the torn dress off in the bin. It was not a good kickstart morning at all.


    He did not like it when people went through his belongings. He hated such kind.


    What he did not understand was how could his guards let a stranger pass by wearing his signature clothes??


    But then they must have recalled her as him carrying her inside the mansion by himself.


    He could only pray that his aunt was not awake at the time when she escaped. He was in no mood to exin a shit to anyone.


    What was the damn woman''s name again?? He thought for he never caught her name even after him knowing what her entire life had been like, knowing her ex-fiance and bringing her home and her borrowing his clothes.


    He bent down to pick up the crumpled sheet to know her name if she wrote it anywhere and then he found it, below thest paragraph.


    "Tinsley???"


    He pronounced the name, trying to see how it felt like to be named out. It was not some kind of an umon name or the most unique one.


    But there was something about the name...he felt like he had known that name all his life.


    He slipped the letter in his pants pocket before heading off to shower. He needed a clear mind to go to work after all the shenanigans he had gone through in thest twenty-four hours.


    Inside the shower stall, he could not help but pray that he did not have toe in face to face with that bratty woman ever in his life.


    His life would be in peace then.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 22 - THE OPEN SKY AND THE MOON!

    I closed the door of the mini book store and walked away with shoulders held low.


    It was already past six in the evening and I could notnd myself a job even the smallest of them and neither did I could find myself a ce where I could stay the night.


    I continued walking down the road, cars passing by, people moving alongside me, all returning to their humble home after their day''s work.


    My mind kept telling me to drop all these independence acts and return to home to Aana Maria, not caring about Madison but I just could not let myself be a bother to others anymore.


    Who could have thought, Tinsley Rutherford, daughter of a business tycoon, one day would be roaming around the street, jobless and homeless??


    Life could be so funny and cruel at the same time. I was mentally and physically at my lowest. I did not know what to do and what not to do.


    As I found my way back to my old home, now locked for no one else to visit.


    I needed a ce to crash for the night and I did not know why I got here but that was the only ce, I knew.


    But thinking about it now, this ce was never my home. It was a prison that stopped me from growing and learning more.


    So I turned my back and officially bid it goodbye as I continued walking forward, tears pouring out of my eyes nonstop.


    I kept reminding myself that I should never ever forget this day of my life. Even though it was not some happy fantastic day but it would always help me know what my priority should be.


    I was so alone, having no one just myself. I felt so broken and lost. The world was too big for me to explore all alone.


    My tired feet took me to the park where I thought to rest for the night even though it was not safe to remain in open. But I had no choice, nowhere to go.


    Iid down in fetal position on the bench as I eyed the sky, the moon shining bright. The clothes were warm enough for me to pass the night out here.


    My right hand slipped inside the pocket of the pants to get thest croissant and found that there was none.


    Either I had dropped it by mistake somewhere or I only took one from there. Regardless, I would have to spend the night empty stomach.


    "Look where the princess of once upon a time is sleeping??"


    I raised myself up to see Josh. I had no idea what he was doing here or how did he find me?


    Maybe he changed his mind?? He might have realized how wrong it was for him to drop me to be with some bimbo?


    "I was looking out for you."


    "And why is that?"


    I asked, trying very hard to not live myposure and show him my vulnerability.


    "You are in no position to question me. You never were. "


    He said, moving closer to me and I stepped back, looking down.


    "You know you never deserved any of those things your father gave you. You are rightfully standing where you belong."


    He continued and I had nothing to say to him. Maybe he was right. I never deserved anything that was handed to me freely.


    "A slut like you deserve this, Tinsley. Looking at what you are wearing, I feel like you are already whoring around."


    He spat in my face and strangely whatever he said, did not matter to me anymore.


    Earlier it used to, only because he was going to be my husband and that made him important to me even though I never was important to him.


    "If you are done...leave me alone."


    I wanted to scream it out at his face but it only came out as a mere whisper, my eyes were still glued to the ground. I just could not bring myself to look up at him.


    Soon enough his hand was holding my jaw in a tight grasp, forcing my face up to look into his eyes.


    "What did you just say??"


    He asked very coldly as if he did not just hear to what I said. And at that moment, I did not know where did I got the courage to shout at him.


    It could be because he was nothing to me anymore or maybe I had more than enough for the day.


    "Leave me alone, Josh."


    And then a tight pnded on my right cheek, making me lose my bnce and fall down t on the ground.


    "How many times did I tell you not to raise your voice at me, you dumb slut??"


    He yelled and only then I knew that this man was drunk. He would not hit me if he was not.


    I was too pathetic to stick by his side even when this had happened many more times.


    I could not feel anymore happier to finally be able to part my way from his. I did not deserve him neither did I owe anything to my dead parents.


    The next instant, he was holding me up, pulling on my hairs as he dragged me towards his car and I found myself pping on his shoulders, trying to get out of his hold.


    I did not want to go with him. I rather die here out in the street but then go back to him.


    I called out for help but then hended a hard punch on my abdomen shutting me up for good. My body felt too weak to fight him.


    He thrashed my almost lifeless body inside the back seat of his Audi. Andter after he got in, he ordered the driver to drive.


    My eyes watered as I started to miss the open sky and the moon already, being dragged to somewhere I did not want to go.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 23 - I PASSED OUT ON THE COLD FLOOR...

    Josh had kept me locked in one of his room and I could not do a damn thing about it.


    When the maid came with food a few hourster, I could not stop myself from eating all of it only because I was too hungry and the food had done nothing wrong to me.


    My abdomen had developed a pale purple bluish bruise where Josh had punched me. My cheeks were red and there was a cut on the corner of my lips.


    I had no idea why he bought me back when he had broken up with me publicly that night at the party.


    It had been daytime now and I could not do anything but wonder how my life had changed so much.


    And then the door opened suddenly when I turned to see who it was, I saw him, my nightmare.


    He gave me a smile which only gave me chills down my spine and closed the door behind him before moving more closer to where I was standing.


    He dropped a file on the bed and then extended his right hand, offering me a pen. I only continued to keep looking at him.


    "Stop staring at me and sign on those court papers. "


    He said. What was it about?? I wanted to ask but he hated me questioning him so I kept my mouth shut, letting my silence ask him instead.


    When he got no moves from me, he stuffed the pen back into his pocket and then closed his eyes before opening it again right away.


    I found one of his hand pulling me close to him, I sucked in a huge breathe when I found his lips pasted on the base of my neck.


    I curled my fingers in a fist as I knew where this was going to. It made me remember the night before how mistakenly I lost my virtue to an unknown stranger.


    "I had waited for long from fucking you because of your father. "


    He said as he continued to paper kisses down my throat up and down.


    "Now that I have already signed the papers of marriage, I can have you all to myself. "


    It was only then I realized he was nning to marry me and those were court papers.


    I could not help but wonder why the sudden change of mind but I also could not stop thinking if I should shut it and go with the flow just like mother used to say and my life would go back to how it was before.


    But the question was if I really wanted this kind of life?? Did I want the rest of my life to be spent with this douche being his punching bag??


    My mind and heart both screamed a big no and it was obvious that they would. Then again was this not what I wanted from the beginning?? To have Josh to secure my life?


    When his hands dropped on my breasts, I was drowned out of my thoughts and so I pushed him away from me.


    He red at me and within no time, moved closer once again andnded a tight p on both of my cheeks, pulling my hairs next and pushing me down on the bed.


    I had gotten the answer to my question and this was not what I wanted for the rest of my life. So I tried to run away from this monster but he pulled me to him once again.


    "Bitch. You are bing too daring huh?"


    He muttered as I stormed my feet on the floor trying to get away from him. Luckily it hit him on his toes making him drop me, giving me enough time to open the door and run away from there.


    "Tinsley, slut get back here."


    I did not listen to him and hurriedly made myself out of there thinking if I got out, the workers would notice me and they would help me.


    "No use because there is no one. "


    Josh screamed behind me as he ran after me. He got the hint of my idea. And true to his words, there was no one. The entire ce was empty.


    Where did he bring me?? It was not his mansion. He was keeping me, hostage, in some unknown ce.


    I continued to run away from him and was about to climb the stairs down when he threw something on me and I bent down, losing my steps and falling down the stairs.


    I could not control myself, I tried to hold back and stop myself from rolling down to the bottom but there was no way I could stop it.


    My head hit hard on the base of thest stair, I could feel my head bleeding, blood running out of it.


    I groaned in pain but tried to stand up almost immediately to escape but it was toote, he held me back. I struggled hard to get away from his hold.


    "Let me go, Josh. I don''t want to be with you."


    I pleaded with him as he dragged me back to the room. I screamed out even though my head was hurting so bad.


    "Please, just let me go. I do not want to be with you."


    "Just shut the fuck up, slut."


    He pushed me inside, making me hit my head once again on the corner of the bedstand.


    He moved in and dropped a few kicks on my belly as I gasped in pain, holding my stomach trying to protect myself.


    "You will die the next time you reject me, slut."


    He said and then left after spitting on my face. I was too gone to even care or be grossed out about it.


    I mewled in pain as I found so hard to keep my senses intact. Blood from my head poured down my face, my head was hurting too bad and before I could tell, I had passed out on the cold floor.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 24 - I WAS AIMING FOR THE WINDOW...

    It waste when I had gained my consciousness. I did not know how muchte but it was quitete in the evening.


    My head was pounding very hard and all I wanted to do was find a way out of here before Josh gets here.


    So far I could not even raise my body up to stand and walk out of the room at least but I was not giving up without trying to my best-known ability.


    I was aware of the fact that going out through the door would be useless so I would not even try there.


    I was aiming for the window, behind the bed. It was kept open and so I crawled my way towards it and with the support of the wall with both my hands, I stood up.


    I very cautiously let my head out to see if Josh had made any guards waiting for me and when I saw that there was no one, I felt a bit confident.


    Maybe there was a chance for me to get out of here after all. He must have thought that I would not even try to escape from here.


    I was on the first floor so jumping off from it, did not seem difficult only because I had done it before when I was fifteen or sixteen. I tried to escape from the boarding hostel to catch my pet squirrel who ran off from the cage.


    Although it had been five long years since doing it, I could remember the day very well as it was the day when I did something out of order, something I was not told to do.


    I limped walked towards the bed and took off the sheets and tied it together making it a rope. It was getting a little short when I tied one of its end to the bedpost.


    So I undid my pants and tied them to the other end making it longer. The white shirt wasing to my knees so I was good. I could wear the pants offter anyways after I climbed down.


    Once everything was done, I climbed up the window pane and very carefully, let myself down holding onto the rope very tightly closer to my chest and continued to crawl downwards.


    I could not believe myself doing it but I was doing it only because I knew it was the only way I could part my ways from Josh forever or I would be trapped with him for life and I would have no way out than killing myself.


    When I was closer to the concrete ground, I let go of the rope and fell on my rear on the ground very lightly so that I did not hurt myself.


    I breathed in relief for sessfully getting out and without wasting much time, I untied the pants off from the pile of clothes and wore them back.


    I started limping out of the property right after. He did not put any guards outside either. He really thought I would remain in the room once he locked me off thereafter a good beating. He always thought so little of me.


    The building was off from the main road so it took me about five minutes from getting there.


    I felt safe when I saw the people walking, cars moving here and there. At least he would not dare to drag me out from public ce, right?


    I had no idea in which direction I was heading to but I did not stop and let my feet walk on. I got strange stares from the people that moved close by me.


    They did not know what I had been through so they had no right to judge me.


    I was aware of how bad I looked. My forehead was red from dried blood and there were purple-ck bluish bruises all over my faces I knew that I looked like an utter mess but that was the least of my concern.


    I had to get out of here. That was what I kept repeating in my mind over and over again. I had to go far from here so he could not find me that easily.


    I did not know when I collided with someone in front of me only because I was losing my consciousness once again out of exhaustion.


    "Hey, look where you are walking to."


    The woman said making me step back. I opened my mouth trying to apologise but it only came out in a damn whisper.


    "I m...so...sorry, ma''am. sorry!"


    I knew that whatever I was saying was not clear to her as she kept looking at me weirdly.


    Although I could not take a clear look at her face because my vision was getting messed up and I wanted to reach a safer ce before I fell down, senseless.


    "Hey...wait...are you, Tinsley??"


    How the hell she knew my name?? I shook my head in positive as I was not interested in finding out how she knew it. My vision was getting foggy, ck and white.


    "Oh my God, what happened to you?? Did you get into an ident or something??"


    She started interrogating me with questions and I wanted to scream at her face to piss off as I was losing my damn time and I needed to keep moving.


    I was only a few minutes away from where I was held captive and about to lose my senses already. He could being through here and then drag me back to there.


    I tried to push my way out from her but she held me back which only made me more frantic to go away.


    "Hey...hey wait. You are not in the right state to move past. Were you not with Josh?? What the hell happened to you?? "


    Listening to Josh''s name made me want to push her off of me and run away but it was exactly at that moment, my senses gave up on me and I fell down, listening to her screaming my name which then turned to nothingness.

 Chapter 25 - CHANCE ENCOUNTER AGAIN...

    Madison was walking outside of the shopping square to get the materials her boss asked her to.


    She worked as Mr. Wilson''s personal secretary and apanied him everywhere including when he intended to do his personal shopping too.


    It had been five years working for him and they werefortable with each other on personal levels too.


    Today was another day when she could tell the boss had no good kickstart morning because he looked distracted throughout the working hours.


    It also could be the reason for he had forgotten to order her to buy the same golden lilies from the same flower shop to celebrate the death anniversary of his mother.


    He said he had no idea of how could he forget to do so. Madison had taken a few days to leave so in her absence, her substitute must have looked over it or missed it by mistakenly.


    So here she was walking out of the store, after buying the golden lilies. Kian''s Mercedes Benz was parked by the side.


    It was then she collided with someone, dropping the flowers and a few passerby''s stepped on it, walking away. She was so angry that she wanted to scream at the one who collided with her.


    But then saw who it was and her eyes could not believe that it was none other than Tinsley Rutherford and that too in a condition, she could not take her eyes off of her.


    The girl looked dead, her forehead was bleeding, dried blood pasted on her pale skin, cuts on the corner of her lips, bluish-ck bruises on her cheeks.


    "Oh my God, what happened to you?? Did you get into an ident or something??"


    She asked trying to get any kind of response from her as Tinsley was just shaking her head abnormally, giving no heads to what Madison was asking. It seemed like she was in a hurry.


    Even though Madison did not like her but this was something else. When she did not return from Josh''s party, they thought she stayed with him.


    Although Anna Maria, her grandmother called Tinsley many times to check up on her and did not get any answer, Madison told her that the girl was one ignorant bitch.


    Once she got what she wanted, she left without an answer. It was simple but looking at her now, something very wrong must have had happened and they did not even know about it if not for this chance encounter.


    Before Madison could interrogate more, Tinsley had pushed her hands off, trying to move past her. But she stopped her right away. She could see that her mind was getting dizzy by how her stature was not stable.


    "Hey...hey wait. You are not in the right state to move past. Were you not with Josh?? What the hell happened to you?"


    And the reply to her question was a quick fall off by a losing conscious Tinsley.


    Before Madison could hold her, Kian walked in and held the falling female in his arms and could not believe his eyes when he saw who it was.


    He swore to God that he would make a safe distance from her and right now he was holding her. He could not believe how they met again.


    But then he saw the dreadful look she was wearing and he could not help but think of what must have had happened to her because the night before she was looking fine with definitely no bruises on the face, her the cuts on the lip corners and the dried blood stains on her forehead.


    "Thank God, you are here, Mr Wilson. We need to take her to the hospital. "


    Madison said, sounding stressed. Somehow in the middle, she felt responsible for what had happened to Tinsley.


    She was aware of the fact that Tinsley had no one after her dead parents and she was the reason that forced her out of their house.


    "No, we cannot. "


    Kian replied quickly. If he bought her to the hospital, the news would circte all over the media giving a wrong impression. And he hated controversies.


    "Why not?"


    Madison raised her voice. She was worried about Tinsley.


    "I will take her to my condo and get her checked there. It''s not too far from here either. Hospital is too open. "


    Kian said and Madison found herself understanding. How could she forget about her boss''s life? She just got too absorbed in with Tinsley''s condition.


    "Let''s hurry then. We must not dy."


    Madison nodded to what Kian told and he carried her bridal style to the Mercedes Benz. Madison helped him set Tinsley in the backseat with him and she got inside the driver''s seat driving them off.


    Kian held her face on hisp throughout the journey and could not help but feel bad about the entire ordeal.


    When he was busy cursing her for stealing his clothes even after writing a letter to him that she would return him everything, she was getting beaten somewhere by some brute and he wanted nothing more but to beat that piece of shit back for daring to hit a woman.


    Maybe he should have been extra careful with her. He did see what happened to her. Losing her parents and her fiance dumping her right after was too much for anybody. Plus her parents named everything after Josh and not her was the cherry in the icing.


    She had nothing and she had no one to lean to either. He should have never let her go.


    "Do you know her boss?"


    Madison found herself asking the question for she had never seen her boss agreeing to take a random woman just for help.


    Kian was taken off guard by the question. He knew that lying was not the solution.


    "Of course. She is Tinsley Rutherford."


    He answered, trying to sound as if it was obvious.


    Madison nodded positively although it was hard to believe that Mr Wilson even knew who she was for he had no knowledge about anyone outside the business world and that was strange for Tinsley was never associated with any kind of business ever.


    They soon reached his condominium. And Kian rushed out in hurry with Tinsley, Madison followed after them.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 26 - ONE FAVOUR?

    Kian carried a conscious less Tinsley up to one of his guest rooms andid her down on the bed.


    Madison was quick to call the doctor in without being ordered by her boss. They both waited for a while before Kian thought to break the silence.


    "Did you bring the flowers??"


    He asked because he forgot to ask about them due to this situation but he could not just give up on the ns for his mother''s death anniversary.


    Madison groaned in annoyance as she dropped the flowers while she collided with Tinsley and this and that happened making her forget about the flowers.


    "Go get them now. Carlos will drop you home after. Hand the flowers to Carlos."


    Kian said, sending a message to Carlos, his personal driver when Madison was not around.


    Madison wanted to stay back and see for herself what the doctor would have to say about Tinsley but she could not disy that much concern about her as that would lead to Kian asking if they were rted and she did not want to yet disclose the fact that they were indeed rted.


    "Sure. You know, I could bring them to you?"


    Madison said trying to get in so that she coulde back and at least get the summary of Tinsley''s health report while giving the flowers.


    "No that would not be necessary. Carlos would hand me. You can go home."


    Kian shook his head negatively dismissing that idea. Madison wanted to press more but Carlos came in stating that the car was ready so it was the cue for Madison to leave.


    She took onest nce of sleeping Tinsley before walking away, tapping on Kian''s shoulder.


    Kian sigheding back to the view ofst night. Only this time she waspletely senseless and was not due to excessive drinking.


    A few secondster, the doctor was here. Doctor Massey was the family doctor of Wilsons.


    She looked to Kian of being surprised to see an unconscious woman on his bed. It was something new.


    Kian stood up from where he was sitting beside the bed to give Doctor Massey her space to check up on Tinsley.


    "If I m not wrong, this has to be Tinsley Rutherford??"


    Doctor Massey asked right after she was done checking the vitals of the patient. She had seen her a few times whenever the Rutherfords held parties. They never talked even though.


    Kian nodded his head. He did not know what else to say. He was aware of the fact that Doctor Massey would soon spread the news to his aunt, Valeria even though he was yet not ready to exin her about it all.


    "Poor soul! Her parents passed away just three days ago and the daughter was not left with a dime. Can''t believe this literally.."


    Massey said, turning back to look at Kian who wore a neutral look on his face, standing behind.


    "What happened?? Where did you find her like this??"


    "I have no idea who did this. I found her in the street. Actually, my secretary found her and we bought her here for help. "


    Kian exined to which Massey nodded her head, understanding it. She injected some vitals and ordered the patient to be on saline which was arranged for right away.


    "Anything else, doctor?"


    Kian implored. Massey shook her head.


    "She was beaten up Kian, very badly at that. She could have nightmares about it so heads up on that. She could have been abducted who knows???....call me in case anything happens."


    Massey informed him, packing her stuff up to leave. Kian called another driver to get ready for dropping the doctor at her home.


    "Hey, Massey?? One favour?"


    "Any favour, Kian. Go ahead, son."


    Massey patted his right arm, smiling at him. He was like a son to him as she was friends with his aunt, Valeria.


    "Do not enclose about this to Valeria as her abductor might be looking out for her and we do not want any more problems. "


    Kian let out and waited for Massey to give him a positive reply anxiously as he did not want her to think if something else was going in between them just in case the silly woman was thinking about it like that.


    "You have my words. I will not tell Valeria or anyone else. Take care of her though. She has no one."


    Massey told with a hint of pity in her tone for the sleeping girl without knowing where she was or what was going on.


    Kian shook his head in positive. The driver came and escorted doctor Massey away. She walked out before giving a hug to Kian, rubbing his back soothingly.


    Later Carlos returned with the flowers and handed them to him. Kian dismissed him but he did not know what to do with the flowers as his mother''s belonging were not there.


    They were all back in his main house. And he did not know what to do as he could not just leave this senseless woman out here alone either for the drivers and guards to be waiting downstairs.


    What if she woke up in the middle of the night and tried to escape again thus giving herself away to her captivators in the process??


    He was just thankful that doctor Massey did not recognise the fact that she was wearing his signature shirt and pants. He did not know how could he exin that to her in case she noticed it.


    He did not want to take chances on her and stay by himself and keep a look on her but he could not just ditch his mother''s death anniversary just for some random woman.


    He was caught while doing right or wrong. His heart kept telling him to stay put and look out for her. Only because she had no one.


    Everyone kept telling him how she had no one and that somewhere affected him. He too had no one once upon a time and he knew how that felt.


    But he should not be feeling so caring about someone he had never known on a personal level so he chose to leave ordering the guards downstairs to routinely check up on her and report him if she woke up.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 27 - TRYING TO FIND PEACE...

    When she had no idea but the moment she opened her eyes, she was greeted by the white ceiling with mini lights stered onto it, lightning up the room.


    She immediately sat up, looking around, trying to see where she was. She turned to her right, to look at her bandaid face in the ss wall.


    She traced her face with both her hands, running the tips of her fingers on her forehead that was covered with a white bandaid. So was her lip corners, even her abdomen.


    She had no idea where she was. But there was a thought in her head that what if Josh had got her and medicated her body into not gaining her senses back anytime soon.


    She immediately got up, scrapped the saline off of her hand and got out of the bed, standing up, her eyes trained on the door wishing that it was not locked because she was in no position of jumping out the window again.


    With very slow steady steps she walked closer towards the white-painted door and surprisingly it opened making her feel good although she was sceptical about what lies ahead of the opened doors.


    She very slowly peeked outside the threshold of the door, trying to watch out if someone was there, guarding the ce.


    Josh might not take the chance of leaving her alone this time. He was a shrewd man, she knew that all along.


    When she did not notice anyone, she very fearfully stepped out of where she was standing quietly for a good five minutes.


    Her alert senses were everywhere as she continued moving forward, looking around, her eyes scanning every nook and corner of the hallway.


    It was awfully quiet and that made her ufortable as she was always afraid of silence. But the lights were calming her panic state as she very daring kept strolling forward.


    She stepped down the stairs with tippy toes, her legs seemed like they would fall off anytime now. She felt extremely tired, her head started to pound, her eyelids barely kept themselves open as she somehow made it down the stairs carefully by holding onto the railing.


    It was then exactly at that time, the lights went off making Tinsley stop on her spot right away.


    The guards climbed up from downstairs to check up on the sleeping woman that their boss asked them to look after. The electricity outage was sudden.


    When Tinsley heard the footsteps of someone approaching the hallway, her heart started beating rapidly against her chest.


    She was caught in a fear loop as she saw a silhouette in the entrance of the hallway, she saw no escape route as she was aware that her tired feet would not be able to take her far away from that person.


    "Who is there??"


    Carlos shouted as he saw a shadowy figurine on the edge of the staircase. He remembered that there was no one in the condominium except for the sleeping woman upstairs.


    Tinsley felt like she was caught once again and she roamed her eyes around to check if there was anywhere she could runoff too quickly, but all she saw was a big ss wall just in front of her and there was nowhere she could escape to if not surrender to the guard or take the chance of life and death and jump off.


    When the steps got closer, her chest raised up and down, eyes moving back and forth from the ss wall to the person approaching her slowly and slowly.


    She knew that there would be nothing to live for if she was caught. Josh would not spare her an easy punishment for trying to escape once again.


    Her life was doomed already, there was nothing to look forward to, there was not much hope left that she could make it out alive from here. There was no one out there to protect her from the monsters.


    Maybe...maybe it was time...time to end it for all good and bad times. Her eyes teared up as she could not believe herself that she was having thoughts of ending her life.


    She felt so vulnerable that she could not think of any easy way out of here rather than ending everything, keeping her life at stake. Chance of life and death, it only seemed the way out.


    So without thinking twice, she dashed forward, running away with all her might, hitting against the ss wall with enough force that she broke out of it.


    "Hey...hey, stop right there..."


    Even before Carlos could stop the woman as he discovered to be the more he got closer, the shattering sound of the ss was heard and he strode towards the edge, watching over the crazydy falling down with her eyes closed, arms wide open.


    The lights came back and it was only then Carlos could get a clear look at the falling figurine, she had wrapped a bandaid over her forehead.


    He immediately ran up the stairs to check up on the woman if she was really there and when he saw the open doors and empty bed, drops of blood falling off from the saline tube, it was confirmed that she had just jumped off from the three-storey building.


    He got out of there and alerted the guards downstairs to save the falling woman if they could even if it was toote then.


    Tinsley closed her eyes as she felt her fragile body hitting the ss wall with the hardest force she could grasp for and breaking past it, ss pieces piercing through her exposed skin.


    She found herself floating down the air as her red hairs flew freely, her eyes could see the dark sky fading in view as she felt the bright light in the down calling out for her with arms wide open.


    It was then she did not see any reason to hold back herself and be hugged into that light, finding peace forever, she willingly submerged into that bright yellow light.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 28 - NOT LESS, NOT MORE...

    The front door opened and got closed making the least possible noise.


    "Madison, you are here."


    Madison heard her nana''s voice as she closed the door behind her. She thought that the old woman had gone to bed by now. It was toote.


    "Yes, nana. What are you doing up sote?"


    Madison asked, getting closer to where her grandmother was sitting. She sat right beside her on the sofa, keeping her bag nearby. The lights were kept dim in the living room.


    "I could not sleep. "


    Madison did not say anything to that. She just kept looking down, on the white tiled floor. She did not know if she should inform her nana about Tinsley.


    "What is wrong, child?"


    Anna Maria inquired, seeing the colour of Madison''s face changing from a normal one to something else.


    Madison drew herself back from the reverie and decided against on exposing the news for she did not want her grandma to worry anymore.


    The woman had been tensed since the day Tinsley had left home. She had tried numerous times on her cell to call, hear her voice.


    It was an endless loop of disappointment for Anna Maria as she continued to get no answer from Tinsley.


    Madison noticed it and always tried to wrap the situation by saying that Tinsley would have contacted her if she wanted it to. She was happy with Josh and did not want anyone to disturb her.


    Anna Maria constantly told her that she was not like that. Tinsley was always so excited to tell Anna about everything that had happened to her even when it was meant to keep a secret, she could never hide anything for so long from Anna Maria.


    And how surprisingly, Anna Maria''s fear that what if something had happened to her turned out to be true, Madison yet did not want to expose a thing as it would only worsen the situation more for her old woman.


    "Where were you at lunchtime?? I came to drop by and have lunch with you."


    So she decided to divert the topic. It was true though she had returned from her office to lunch with the old woman taking a half time.


    Anna Maria was caught off guard with that question thrown her way. She had no idea that Madi would drop by today only to lunch with her.


    She had gone to the Harrington mansion in search of Tinsley. She did not want to disclose it to Madison but thought that it was of no use hiding things for sooner orter, Madison would find out anyway.


    "I went to the Harrington mansion here. "


    "But why?? "


    "To look out for Tinsley."


    Anna Maria said with the same tone Madison asked her the question.


    "Why would you do that nana?? You did not inform me about it??"


    Madison implored getting riled up. She could not believe that her grandma had sneaked out of the house without thinking to inform her at least.


    "It had been more than two days since Tinsley left and I have no news about her whereabouts, what do you think?? I should just sit back and wait for her to contact me??"


    Anna Maria shouted at her granddaughter. She did not like the sound of distaste whenever she mentioned the name of Tinsley before Madison.


    "Yes. She would contact you when. She wants to."


    "She has no one, Madison. No one in this world except for me. "


    Anna Maria let out stopping whatever Madison was going to say halfway. She looked right into her nana''s eyes and then looked away for she would not be able to hold herself back more if this went on.


    "Ramona told me that they had no idea where Tinsley was. She did not know if she was with Josh or not. I could tell that she was not even interested in it. "


    Anna Maria went on speaking as Madison kept her mouth shut, listening quietly to her nana.


    "I do not feel right about the entire ordeal, Madi. I feel like something wrong has happened to my child and I have no idea or could I save her."


    Madison felt her grandmother''s sorrow, her deep love for Tinsley. It was obvious that she was attached to her but not to the point as it hurt her for not knowing about her whereabouts.


    Anna Maria watched how Madison was deep in her thoughts and wondered if her granddaughter had again taken the wrong note about the situation.


    "Madison look at me."


    Madi parted her eyes from the tiles and settled it on her old face. Anna Maria held her hands onto hers.


    "You know Tinsley and you, both are the same for me. I love you both the same, not less not more. "


    Madison had no idea where her grandma was going on with the flow of the conversation but she went on listening.


    "I always tried to make you both acquainted but you just would not drop your hard face just like your mother, Lily. You are just like her, strong, tough, aware while Tinsley is theplete opposite. She is soft, light and not aware of her surroundings most of the times which made me look after her more, to make her understand things that you understood in just the snap of your fingers.....I never took it as my job.


    You girls make my life bright and so never take it the wrong way that I love you less or I love Tinsley any more than you. "


    Madison never doubted upon her grandmother''s love but she needed to hear those words and so she felt grateful.


    She nodded her head, getting emotional and pulling her nana close for a hug. She swore to herself that she would check up on Tinsley tomorrow herself and when she would get better, she would bring her back home, to them, here.


    "I love you, Madi bear forever and always."


    Anna Maria mumbled, hugging her granddaughter, in her heart, she chanted out the same for Tinsley.


    "I love you too, nana! "


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 29 - DONT DISAPPOINT ME, BABY!!!

    Kian had just reached his home and after offering the flowers to his dead mother''s photo frame kept in her room with all her belongings, he went to his room for getting fresh.


    Immediately he had his cell phone ringing and he groaned in annoyance for having to answer it.


    For once he thought to just ignore and move on with the impending shower but then when he saw Calo''s name on the ringing tag, he thought maybe something had happened or else he would never call at this hour.


    So he picked it up and as expected something worse had already happened. Right away he was on his Audi driving through the traffic like a raging hurricane.


    He knew that something like this would have happened. Only if he relied on his instinct and stayed back, this would not have happened.


    He prayed in his heart and mind for nothing more wrong to happen to her. He had heard how she had no one and he too left her for his needs, and there she was fighting with life and death.


    He reached the plot and stopped his Audi in the middle without caring to park it first, he jumped out of his car and ran off to the nearbyke.


    He had to apply brakes when he saw two of his guards in the dark water, searching for the body.


    "Sir, you are here... We have assigned them to look out for her.."


    Even before Carlos couldplete his sentence, Kian jumped inside the water without care of the world.


    "Sir??? Oh no!!"


    Carlos and others screamed back when they saw their boss diving inside the water even shocking the other two guards who were on the water looking out for the body.


    Kian dipped under the water, it was hard to see with bare eyes as the light was only sipping partially inside.


    He was restless in his state as he swam around in one breathe searching for her. He swore to himself that he would not return without her.


    And then he found his right leg stuck on something, he turned back to see and could not believe his eyes.


    He quickly changed his direction and untangled the knot of cloth messed around his right ankle and at the same time felt warm in his heart when he got a closer view.


    The men on the shore were all worried as they deployed more men to go down in the dark water, searching for two beings now.


    And they were all relieved when they saw Kian up and were happier when they saw their boss carrying the woman, they all were looking out for.


    The men in the water got closer to help Kian but he did not take their hands for help and continued to swim to the shore with her fragile body in his arms. He did not trust anyone with her anymore.


    As soon as he reached thend, Carlos helped him up with others and he immediately signalled them to get the emergency doctor ready. Carlos had already done that homework.


    Kian sat down on the muddy ground and rested her in his arms as he checked if she was breathing and when she was not, he almost felt like the world ending.


    He did not think twice before mming his mouth against hers, pressing her chest, applying pressure.


    Once, twice, thrice and everyone was losing hope that thedy could be bought back to life but Kian continued with his repetitive action without a gap in between.


    To everyone, he seemed as if he was possessed by some mind spell. His eyes had hope in them that she would wake up at any moment.


    The doctor arrived and aided Kian. He began pressing her chest as Kian pasted his mouth to give her air to breathe again.


    The nurse came in and began rubbing the palms and feet of Tinsley to warm up her body. Kian hugged her body more closer to his body.


    He tore open his wet shirt and hugged her to his skin, once again breathing oxygen into her mouth.


    And as this process took more and more time to get a response from her, he slowly too felt like as if he was toote ining here and saving her.


    Her painful face at that party reflected in his mind and it disturbed his entire state for even going away from her when she needed him the most at that moment.


    The doctor had given up and so did others. Kian heard them whispering how that she was dead already and it was of no use.


    "Mr Wilson, I presume that the patient is dead."


    He heard the doctor say those words out very clearly yet he could not let go of her numb body, immobile, her face pale white as if someone had sucked the blood off of her.


    It was at that moment, he got a very clear view of her face for the first time and could not help but realize that she indeed had the face of an angel.


    The kind of angel who he looked up to when he mourned for his dead mother, hoping the angels would bring her back to him.


    Her pale face shining under the bright moon, as he ran his fingers through her red hair strands.


    He could not just let go of her yet. So he dived in for the nth time to revive life back to her. She needed to be alive even if she had nothing toe back for, but for him at least so that this time, he could take better care of her.


    "Wake up, Tinsley..mon wake up."


    He said as he pressed her chest to make it mobile in the next few seconds and at the same time continued to rub her palms in his hands.


    Everyone was a bit taken aback by how Kian was acting as if the woman in his arms meant something to him more than just some stranger.


    "Common don''t disappoint me, baby!"


    He mumbled only for her and him to hear, resting his head atop hers, their lips passed as he was tired and it was in that moment he felt her...her upper lip moving.

    He mumbled only for her and him to hear, resting his head atop hers, their lips passed as he was tired and it was in that moment he felt her...her upper lip moving.


    _______________________________________________


    It was right after that he carried her up to the condo, the doctor and the nurse followed behind.


    They immediately got in a position to start her treatment. She was immediately put on oxygen and they started checking on her vitals.


    Once everything was set, the female nurse made her change into warm cotton clothes.


    The doctor finally came out to talk with Kian as he paced to and fro in the hallway waiting for any kind of news, good or bad both.


    "The patient is stable for now. Luckily no bones were broken as she fell into theke which saved so many damages from being happening. She is fine for now. Her skin would hurt and so other parts since she fell from too high up but the pain medications will help. There is nothing more to worry about as no bones were broken or fractured. "


    The doctor exined in detail and Kian listened to it with a lot of attention. He was thankful too as no more damages were done to her body.


    " When will she regain consciousness?"


    Kian asked to which the doctor replied that it might take a few hours or even a day before she finally wakes up.


    "I have noticed the bruises and it seemed like someone was inflicting it on her. She might have some mental anxieties so give me a call as soon as she wakes up. "


    Kian nodded positively and then the doctor showed himself out. Kianmanded his driver to drop him at his house and assigned one live-in nurse to look after Tinsley twenty-four multiplied by seven.


    Once everyone was out, he ordered the nurse to go out for a few minutes to give him some alone time with her.


    He did not know why he felt so bad about the condition she was in. Her pale blue face attached to the oxygen mask, the saline-injected on her right palm, her nose had the food pipe inside to assist her in feeding, white cloth bandaged all over her joints, forehead and ointment was applied to the cuts that were scattered on her skin.


    She so much did not resemble the look she had a few days back when he saw her for the first time at the party.


    Hereying on the bed, she looked nothing like that day. She looked like a fallen angel whose wings were cut off very cruelly and was in dire need of protection and care of someone.


    He walked forward, closing the door behind him making sure to not make a sound to disturb her sleep and took a seat beside her.


    Her chest was huffing up and down, struggling to keep her breathe and he closed his eyes in calmness, knowing that she was breathing and alive here with him.


    They never had a clear conversation, neither did he knew anything about her other than the bits and pieces of news he gathered from the and his sources.


    But yet there was a strange strong connection he felt whenever he was near her and that made him question it all the times.


    At certain times, he felt as if they had known each other for so long. Her face...it resembled someone from his dream although everything was hazy and unclear.


    He extended his hand and ran his finger over her red hairs, patting her gently, deeply trying to associate with the grief and sorrow she had to go all alone with and bear it.


    He had known that kind of pain from his childhood although the memories were by now unclear and hard to remember.


    He had his aunt who took him in and gave him the shoulder to cry and stand up on his feet with her support.


    But from what he had heard that she had no one..not even some out of reach cousins, aunt or uncle. She was all alone and that disturbed him a lot.


    Josh was herst hope and that too vanished the moment, he called their nned wedding off.


    And maybe that was why she got so depressed and was holding onto the strings of a loveless love because she had no one to rely upon except for him.


    With time, Kian started to understand the deepness of the circumstances, the poor soul was trapped into and he could not feel worse and remorse for her.


    Even though he did not understand her action of trying to risk her life by jumping out of the building.


    What was she thinking while doing that??


    If not for his driver reporting him the incident right away and the rescue team had not arrived on time, she could have been dead...


    Kian closed his eyes as he could not even imagine what that would have been like. He did not want to think about that in any way possible.


    If something...something really would have happened to her, he was sure that he could have never able to figure himself.


    He could have stayed back and waited for her to wake up instead of being selfish and storming away, leaving her scared self to explore everything by herself.


    It was in that time, he promised himself that he would take care of her, vowed to punish those who had tortured her fragile body and be by her side till the time she needed him and was alright.


    He was ready to take all her responsibility and let her reside in here however long she wanted to, he had no problem with it until he could arrange for an alternative for her of her choice when she was awake.


    So the wait now began of when she would wake up and grace his face with those baby blue eyes.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 31 - HOW IS MS RUTHERFORD?

    Kian did not know when he fell asleep on the chair, leaning on the hard surface.


    When he finally fluttered opened his eyes, he was greeted by the warm ray of sunlight and then the events of the night came shing back to his mind.


    He saw that Tinsley was still in her deep sleep and her vitals were alright even though she had not gained consciousness yet.


    He checked the time before getting up and letting the nurse take her rightful position, catering to the needs of the sleeping beauty.


    He wished he had the time to stay more by her side and make sure everything was alright by himself but he could not neglect his work, more so he could not possibly let his aunt get suspicious in any kind.


    So after ordering the nurse and the other workers to look after her and not to take their eyes off of her even for a second and inform him about anything right away without wasting any time.


    He headed out, not before cing a feathery light kiss on her forehead. He had no idea why he even did that but rushed outside before his mind would go crazy wondering whatnot.


    _________________________________________


    As soon as Kian reached his office, the guards bowed their heads down and so did all the other employees outside, waiting for the lift.


    He stormed into his private one and found his secretary, Madison waiting inside his office, cing his coffee mug.


    "Good morning, Mr Wilson."


    "I need to freshen up."


    That was all he said and Madison walked away, closing the ss door behind her.


    She was expecting to hear about how Tinsley was doing but looking at the boss, she could tell that something was not right.


    So she moved towards her cabin and waited patiently for Kian toe out and press some words from him.


    Kian pressed a button underneath his rectangr wooden table and the ss door opened revealing a huge ass bedroom.


    He walked inside and the ss wall closed behind him. He removed his shirt, slipped his pants off and strode towards the bathroom.


    He had not gotten any time to shower and freshen up since the time he rescued her from that dirtyke.


    As he stood under the shower and the warm water cascaded down, he felt his tensed muscles rxing and closed his eyes to think of anything else other than her but it was only her face that would keep reflecting in his restless mind.


    And then it would drive back to the point of time where he could tell that he was a boy and that unknown girl,ughing and giggling, running away from him.


    He fisted his palms on both sides as those hazy dreams took over his brain once again even in the daylight and it annoyed him to no extent.


    He tried very hard to gain those memories back and did everything to decode the reason behind those visions but all his attempts were deemed futile and a wastage of his efforts.


    So with time, he had learnt to give up and live his life trying not to discover a part of his life which he had no idea of what it was like.


    It was crucial for him to at least remember some of it because it held the days he spent with his dead mother but now that he had no memories of it, he could not even recollect of how his mother was like.


    He got out of the shower and dressed in a new set of shirt and pants, heading out of the room to start doing his regr day to day work.


    Madison walked towards his cabin, the moment she saw himing in. She did not have to knock on his ss door and was allowed right in.


    She got behind him and made him wear his ck coat before bringing him his heated coffee once again.


    "Narrate out my schedule."


    He ordered, sipping on his coffee, eyes trained on hisptop screen, checking out the important mails.


    "You have a meeting, fifteen minutes from now with the Oil Dealers of UAE.


    Lunch with Sharon Maetka for oil foundation right after in Mirrors.


    A board meeting with the Moral Corp after midday.


    Lunch date with Thea Stilton..."


    "Cancel it."


    He spoke right away, stopping Madison in the middle even before she couldplete.


    "Pardon?"


    "Cancel the lunch date with whoever that Valeria set me up with."


    Kian said, finishing his coffee.


    Madison did not know whether to go with her boss''smand or Mrs Valeria Wilson for the woman had called her to slip that date appointment she made in his busy schedule herself.


    "But Mrs Wilson said that.. "


    "Who do you work for, Ms Gomez?"


    Kian raised his eyebrows, finally looking at her. He knew how pressing his aunt could be.


    "You, Sir. Mr Wilson. "


    Madison hesitated to answer first but went on with it as she was quite aware of what might happen next if she denied cancelling that appointment.


    "Good. I will be out in ten minutes. Ready my car."


    Kian muttered, resuming his work back, answering the mails away on his MacBook.


    "Right away, Mr Wilson. "


    Madison nodded, folding her iPad back on the purse. She was not sure if she should go ahead and ask him about how Tinsley was.


    She knew that inquiring about such topics that happened in the boss''s condo or household was a strict no and unprofessional but she just could not help and let it slip.


    After all, she had an old woman in her house waiting to hear about any kind of news of that woman, who her boss had kept in his home.


    Would it sound like intruding on his personal space??


    Madison thought as she silently stood there, not knowing what to do and what not to do. Whether she should ask or not?


    "Is there any problem?"


    Kian asked when he found the presence of his secretary still inside his office when he just had dismissed her.


    "Well...how..ugh...how is Ms Rutherford?"


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 32 - YOURE HERE...

    Madison and Kian headed out of the office together followed by the ck-suited guards who strode forward to open the car doors for them to get in.


    "Do you have the presentation ready?"


    Kian asked as he checked his phone. Madison rechecked the slides before giving a firm yes in reply.


    "Then let''s get this over with. "


    Kian said, putting his sunsses back on and the engine started, setting them on the motion.


    _______________________________________________


    Throughout the meeting, Kian could not stop his mind from wondering about the sleeping beauty at his home.


    He would sneak a few quick nces from his cell phone, checking out if the nurse had dropped in a message or if he missed a call that never happened yet.


    He hoped that she was fine and did not want any wrong to happen to her. All he wanted to know was who did this to her and he would make that bastard pay for every bit of it.


    After the meeting was over, the driver drove them back to the office, Madison kept sending confidential messages to the clients throughout the ride, while Kian continued to ignore the texts from his aunt who was angry with him for ditching on the date she had nned for him.


    And then out of nowhere, his cell phone rang and when he was least expecting it the call to be from home, it was.


    He did not waste one single second and picked it up and waited impatiently to hear the good news and he did right after a few seconds of waiting.


    "Stop the car!!"


    He let out, freaking Madison out as she almost dropped the MacBook as the car applied brakes all of a sudden.


    "What is wrong??"


    Madison asked, turning to look at her boss. Kian did not bother looking back at her even though they were seating together.


    "Driver turn the car to my condominium. Madison get up and ride with the security team to the office."


    He ordered and right away the destination of his car was changed but Madison was still processing what just had happened.


    "What??"


    "Get out now...I have no time to waste and tell others I m taking the day off...quick...hurry...get off!!"


    Kian interrupted her and that made Madison to follow her boss''smand and get off his car right away and even before she could ride the security packed in the back, his car was out of there as if it was on fire.


    She could only wonder what had happened and what was going on with the boss''s mind. He had been acting weird since the morning.


    Could it be rted to Tinsley??


    She thought. But hoping that it was about only good news.


    Meanwhile, as soon as Kian reached home, he thrashed out of his car without waiting for the guard to open his door and stormed towards the elevator to his condo.


    He ran out as soon as the elevator dinged in his floor and strode up the stairs to the room.


    When he opened the door, his breathing got stuck in his mouth as he saw her...turning to look at him, sitting on the bed, the nurse standing by her side.


    "Mr Wilson you are here!"


    Kian did not wait for anybody to say anything else as he stormed inside and stood near the bed, their eyes intertwined as he leaned forward and drew her to himself for a hug, shocking every cell in her body.


    She was not expecting that at all. His hot breath kept hitting the exposed skin of her neck as she did not know what to and what not to do. To ept the hug or not to ept?? Or just remain static??


    She knew who he was. He was Kian, the boy who stole her first kiss and then disappeared forever and she could not find him anywhere as if he never existed as if he disappeared from the face of the earth.


    "Kian!!"


    Her eyes watered as her lips uttered his names out and her hands moved upwards and enveloped his body to herself.


    Oh!! How long it had been!!! She thought. How did he find her?? She could not help but think


    Kian pulled out from the intimate hug and had a close view of her face. He was mesmerised by her beauty, the purity her face reflected.


    "You are here!!"


    She let out in whispers, afraid might disappear any second just like before. Kian did not know how to react to that but remained static, knowing he could not cause her to tense.


    "Yes!! I m here and I won''t let anything to happen to you anymore."


    He found himself saying it out without being able to stop his lips. It was as if he was hypnotised.


    "It''s been so long!!"


    She said, and could not stop a light smile of happiness from gracing her face. He was delighted to see a pure, genuine smile for the first time too on herplexion.


    "Ms Rutherford''s vitals looks good. She had been awake for a while now..."


    The nurse''s voice bought of them out of their moment and soon enough, Kian drew himself apart from her and forced his self to look away from her to try and concentrate on whatever the nurse was reporting about.


    That made Tinsley softly giggle as she noticed how he was not able to maintain hisposure and kept turning to look back at her as if he was beholding her for the very first time.


    Once he was done talking with the nurse, Kian asked then to stand outside and give him a moment to talk with the patient.


    He was thankful that everything with her was alright and that no more damages were done to her fragile self. All she needed was bed rest and healthy feeding.


    He moved closer and took a seat beside her and did not know how to ask her who did this to her and why did she jump off the window.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 33 - RAGGING ANGER AND FRUSTRATION!!

    A smooth light breeze continued to flow in through the window as both the persons in the room did not know what to say or how to start a conversation.


    For Tinsley, she had so many things she wanted to ask and know from the boy who became the centre of her attention and disappeared out of nowhere.


    Kian could not point out where they have met before yet as it was still a mystery to him why she always acted like they have had known each other for so so long.


    "Where have you been for so long??"


    "Why did you jump off the ss wall??"


    The questions and their voices were heard at the same time, making them instantly lock their gazes as it was not intended to ask at the same time at all.


    Kian did not understand the question directed to him. Why was she asking him where he had been as if he went missing for a long time and she found him after a very long time???


    While Tinsley understood it all and contemted whether or not to tell him why she did what she did.


    But then again what was there to hold back from him. He was Kian after all. She never had secrets from him ever and she was not nning to change even when he had ghosted on her and appeared out of nowhere.


    After losing everyone and having no one to rely on and to meet the only person you have yearned to see for so long makes you want to appreciate every moment of it.


    Who knew what might happen next?? Tinsley thought. She was grateful that it was him who found her and not someone else.


    "I...I..uhh..thought Josh trapped me here...again.."


    Her answer to his question in the smallest whisper was heard by him and his mind took a sweet time to process what she just said.


    "Josh?? You mean Josh Herrington??"


    He had to make sure she was meaning the same person as he was thinking of in his mind.


    "Yeah. It''s the only Josh I have known my whole life and now I wish I never knew of."


    Tinsley meekly replied, looking down, closing her eyes as shes of him beating her on the floor reflected all over her.


    Kian noticed the change in her facial structure and quickly held her hands that were resting on herp making her to open her eyes and look back at him.


    "What did he do?"


    He asked and knew that whatever she was going to say next was not going to sound something good at all.


    Tinsley did not know if she was ready to let it all out yet. She for the time being that she would have to carry this with her to her grave and that no one woulde to know about what he had done to her and what she had gone through.


    Hell, she even thought of ending her life for the first time rather than living and fighting.


    How much vulnerable had he made her?? What a petty case she had turned into??


    She thought and could not hold back her tears as they freely leaked out from her eyes and it was clearly visible to anyone from the outside that she was hurting inside and dying to dare and let everything out.


    He could see her struggle, the battle she was fighting all alone inside her head and he wanted nothing more to do butfort her, give her the protection she deserved.


    The instinct to save her innocence the first time he saw her when she entered the party, smiling, he wanted to preserve that look on her wless face.


    He never felt so close to someone to make him want to protect them from any harm and fight all their demons away.


    "You know that you can trust me right??"


    He implored, making her look up at him. He had no idea why he did what he did next by extending his hand put and rubbing her eyes waters off from her red swollen face.


    "I m here for you, Tinsley."


    And she could no longer hold herself back when she heard her name from his mouth for the very first time after all these times.


    She threw herself on him and even though it took him by shock, he held her close to him, finding some kind of known familiar peace in her embrace.


    "It feels so good to be in your arms."


    She said, smelling in his scent that was not the same anymore. He found her breathe hitting his exposed skin and he did not mind any of it.


    They were hugging each other as if they were the long lost lovers, had been separated for years and then was their reunion.


    "It does feel good."


    He let out too, closing his eyes and letting his guards lose for the very first time.


    He knew that there was definitely something up with this girl and him somewhere in the past....a memory he could not remember.


    But everything felt so familiar, so close with her. It was as if nothing they were doing was new, they had done it all before.


    Holding her so close to himself was not something new but he did a long long time ago and the only problem was that he could not remember any of it but she did and she had no idea that he did not.


    Would everything change when she woulde to know that he did not recall anything at all???


    But now that he had her in his arms, he did not want to let go of her yet. As if his body had missed her, he pulled her more closer.


    "Josh tracked me after I escaped from a stranger''s house and locked me up somewhere, I have no idea."


    She whispered near his ears, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, afraid he would vanish off.


    "What did he do next??"


    "Drugged me and beat me for refusing to marry him."


    Her reply made him crawl his palm into a fist, ragging with anger and frustration.

    "When...I woke up..I.I did not know this was your ce. I...uhh.. thought it to be Josh''s so I thought of escaping and when I saw a dark silhouette...I thought it was him and I...had nowhere to go so...I.. Ughhh."


    "It''s fine. it''s fine..you do not have to say it next..."


    Kian pulled her off, cupping her small face in between his manly hands, giving her warmth in there.


    "I should have never left you.."


    Kian said, looking into her blue eyes and he meant it. If only if he had not left, she would not have jumped off there.


    "You should not have...never left me..."


    Tinsley mumbled, nodding her head, brushing the strand of his ck thick hair off from his forehead.


    "I missed you...I have missed you all my life, Kian...please don''t ghost on me ever again..."


    She let herself bare before him and he could not draw himself off her. He mmed her weak body against his again.


    "I will never let you go ever."


    He asserted, rubbing her back soothingly. He felt a connection with her that was so known to him yet unknown.


    "You promise??"


    Tinsley questioned, near his ears and received her answers near her ears too.


    "I promise."


    That made her smile for the very first time in his embrace.


    Everything felt so natural with her. He never reacted and behaved this way with anyone and with her, he felt so close to home...the one he forgot and had no memory of.


    But with her near him, he could figure out the part of his life he had forgotten. Maybe she was the girl with the hazy figurine in his nightmares?? Who knew they might be rted?? He might find something that Valeria was not telling him??


    Furthermore, a reason to keep her near him.


    _______________________________________________


    Tinsley was asleep than when he sat up and strode forward to get dressed back in his coat and head out to work.


    It had been a few hours ever since the big revtions. He hade to know something very shocking pieces of information, the good old days, he had no memories of.


    He ordered the chef to cook her favourites after she named it all out to him. It was a sight to behold her letting out her food fantasy to him.


    There was a feel of uncertainty if she should really eat the food with a lot of carbs and he had no idea what to say next.


    She told him how her life she had been dictated to what to do and what to do eat, how much of it, how to sit, how to stand up, what to dress and what to say, how to smile, how to walk...


    It was a lot to take in, watching her let out everything to him. He could see the trust she had for him deep within her eyes.


    Once she started, he could not stop her. She told him things, the moments what she asserted they shared together and he had no knowledge of them at all back in his head.


    It was hard to believe if they were all true but with the tone, the light in her face, she was telling them, it all felt too true to be a lie.


    A man he was of fewer words, and she had so many things to tell him. His patience was negligible to listen to others chatter all day but here he was listening to it all, and yet he was not bored.


    "Will you not tie my hairs in a ponytail??"


    She asked him in the middle of her meal, making him look at her with no idea.


    "You used to do that so that my naughty hairs would not disturb me while I was eating."


    She told him, smiling so gracefully making his heart melt at the sight.


    And almost immediately, he found himself sitting up and standing behind her, removing his tie and tying it around her red hairs, making herugh and so did he.


    "I had no rubber band."


    He said,ing back to sit in front of her.


    "You did not have one either back at that time."


    She mumbled, slurping the soup in. He could not help but notice her baby pink lips.


    "Then how did I."


    "You made some weird bands with the green grasses and climbers, flowers."


    She answered his question even before he couldplete it. It was a bit hard to believe that one.


    Was he that corny to make a band out of grass, flowers and climbers just to tie her hairs??


    "It''s awful!!"


    "What is awful??"


    He inquired. She stopped drinking her soup to look at him.


    "Awful how you don''t remember any of it but I do....all of it."


    She let out, looking down, sadness evident in her voice. And that was his worst fear, he did not want her to stop talking it felt alienated by his silence.


    He wanted to know it all too. That was why she was here with him.


    "I...I do remember.."


    "Oh yeah??"


    Tinsley raised one of her eyebrows, narrowing her gaze at him. He did not know what to say to make her believe that he did remember.


    "I was kidding, silly!!"


    Sheughed it off, sshing a tinch of her soup on his white shirt making him shocked, taken aback a little bitposed himself when he heard what she said next.


    "I..do not me you for not remembering any of it. You grew yourself up and got busy with your life...I understand that..."


    Tinsley parted her gaze from his and looked outside the opened window, the curtains flying to and fro.


    "While my whole life had gone by thinking about you...about the times..the good old ones we shared....believe me, or not, Kian, those were the only moments I felt so alive and when you were gone, I felt dead..."


    Listening to her made him feel so sad, remorse and sorrowful for her.


    "But I feel so alive now with you here..."


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 35 - YOU DONT HAVE TO ANSWER...

    Kian was busy all his weekends.


    He had been always busy even at the weekends all his life.


    The work...had caught all his attention and had none left out for to admire anything outside of hisptop screen and the huge piles of a white sheet with ck letters carved on its surface.


    Buttely, something had changed. And to be in a good way.


    After all, Kian Wilson taking a leave for the weekends must be some really good shit.


    He had been taking time off from his work to go meet now a healed Tinsley.


    Her face had be clean and wless once again. The cuts on the corner of her lips had vanished, the purple-blue bruises had faded too.


    And the more he got to see her, her smile had gotten more brighter and livelier.


    The way she woulde out of her room running to the front door to greet him.


    And the intensity with which she wouldnd herself onto him would make him lose his bnce and step backwards.


    Her giggles that followed after would lighter up to his tired shoulder from a long day of work, diving into his ears like some scared melody rings.


    Her excitement to see him every day makes him wake up the morning looking forward to it once he was done working.


    And then she wouldnd a soft kiss on his cheeks making him lose all his senses for a sh of a second, only feeling the feel of her soft petal-like lips brushing his spiky cheeks for a split of time.


    Her soft hands would drag him away even before he could regain his consciousness back from it.


    And then she would make him sit on her bed, ruffle his brown hairs softly, messing it up altogether.


    As she would walk away, her scent touching his nose making him lose his mind for God knows how many times for the time being.


    Handing him his cup of tea, they would sit down, she would start the conversation by asking him how his day was to which his reply would be always the same old.


    And then she would narrate to him what she had done the whole day and how much she missed their time when they were just mere teenagers.


    "You are already leaving?? Are you??"


    Tinsley asked, getting up from sitting as she saw Kian putting his coat back on.


    "I certainly m. I have work tomorrow....an important morning meeting."


    Kian replied. He did not like the happiness from her face fading slowly and slowly one bit.


    "Do I...do I bore you?"


    Tinsley could not help but ask him that. She had been having that particr question in her mind for a while now.


    And she had evidence as to why the answer to that question could turn positive because, during their time together, Kian would never say a word unless required or even saw a bit of interest in keeping up.


    "I...I know that. I m a chatter. I have been told so. Got my mom scolding me for the hundredth time and daddy breaking his sses right in front of my face...and still, I could not learn to keep it shut...my mouth..."


    Kian could not draw his eyes apart from her face...it reflected so much pain and agony as if she had gone back to that time and ce...so dark and exhausting...her expression recited it all so quite well.


    "...You have been so generous to me...I can''t thank you enough and in the midst of it if I had been annoying you for the past weekends..."


    Tinsley''s heartbeat elerated as she looked up to see his face for the first time ever since she started talking...she licked her lips which disturbed Kian''sposure a lot despite it he tried to remain steady.


    "...I m sorry...I m sorry for it all.."


    And before she could apologise anymore, Kian strode towards her...he was in front of her in a sh of seconds.


    He cupped her face and Tinsley did not seem to saw in protest, it only gave herfort to feel his warm touch on her living cheeks, soon to be painted in crimson red.


    These days, they had been quite well acquainted with each other presence, and touch.


    "Nothing thates out of that pretty mouth could ever bore me, Bonnie."


    He said, his words ever so clear that it delighted Tinsley''s ears to listen to him call her pretty after such a long period.


    "Did you...did you just call me pretty??"


    "I did?? Didn''t I??"


    He counters back her question with his contradictory question. Their faces were too close as if they were breathing the same air.


    "M I really pretty??"


    Tinsley could not help but ask it. She was never called pretty apart from anyone but him when they were small.


    Her mind would go sick, her stomach would feel poor when she would hear Josh, her fiance, calling other women pretty right before her but never caring topliment her once at parties.


    "Yes, you are. You really are."


    He gave her his confirmation. He could not understand that why would she ever doubt it. She must have heard it often. Had she not??


    "M I pretty for you?"


    The next question hit Kian without any preparation. He was not expecting that at all from her. He did not know how to say it, what to say it.


    The answer was, of course, yes..indeed very much. But he did not know how to frame his answer without making her aware of how much he was affected by her presence all the times...whenever she was near him.


    The long wait for the answer from him only made her conscious of herself...maybe..maybe he only called her pretty for her sake.


    "It''s alright...you do not have to answer..."


    She pushed him away to get back but he held her steady and turned her around, mming his lips against hers...the action he wanted to do for so long...


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 36 - CAN YOU BE GENTLE???

    The kiss was nowhere connected to gentleness and tenderness.


    His palms cupped her face, holding her in position as he tasted those baby pink lips, the ones he had been dreaming to kiss ever since his eyesnded on her.


    The taste seemed familiar and kind of like he had tasted it way before but he could not remember it in his head, did not matter how much he tried to bring those memories back.


    Tinsley squirmed under his hold, wrapping her hands around his neck, trying very hard to keep up with his pace although it was a losing cause.


    His mouth sucked in her upper lips, running his tongue over the flesh, making her mind swirl as if she had lost her knee caps and would fall straight on the face if had not he had been mping g her, tightly in his strong grasp.


    She moaned in delight when one of his hand snaked down, exploring her small back making her body hot all over with each touch.


    Kian could not help and keep his hands-on one ce...not when he had the chance to feel that warm and soft flesh hidden underneath that pretty sundress that did a poor job hiding herposure whenever he was around.


    It was clear to him that it was not only him who wanted and felt the heat in the room whenever both were nearby but knowing Tinsley Rutherford so far, she was too chicken to make a move if not for him to step in.


    His rough touches and kisses had made her body restless. She was not used to such kind of touches.


    When only she was gasping and huffing for air, Kian let go of her and they both opened their eyes to stare into each other.


    He loved the sight before him, red cheeks, dted pupils...the most prettiest view he had ever seen.


    Tinsley could not dare keep looking into those eyes as he kept shamelessly staring at her face..a hot mess that he had created of her...she parted her eyes apart and hid herself under his chest.


    That particr action had himughing at her sillyness. He rubbed her red hairs as she pressed her face more onto his arms, now blushing furiously without a tinch bit of control..she just felt utterly hot.


    It felt like as if hours had passed off, they continued to remain in that position, hugging like a long time lover, separated in the cold dark winter, reunited in the bright summer.


    It was obvious very much now that he was attracted to her, he felt a connection with her...it was unknown and like a mystery, he had no idea how to solve it.


    Tinsley did not want to be further bothered to him and pulled out from his hold first.


    He let her go sensing how the moment had be awkward between them. Then he could only think how he was going to exin it to her why he did what he did?


    He himself had no idea why he kissed her so suddenly?? Maybe because he had been wanting to do it for a long time now?


    "You should go..."


    "I should go..."


    They both said at the same time making them both halt and look at each other, eyes wide with a hint of shock because none of them intended to do so.


    Tinsley was the first one to dart her eyes away and look elsewhere, pulling her lower lips in between her upper teeth...an action that made Kian fist his palms, resisting every bit of will he was having to pull that girl closer to him once again and m his lips on her.


    Without a word, he swung his coat on his back and stormed out of the room, closing the door behind him in a loud sound.


    It was only then she could breathe in full, trying to recollect what just happened.


    Kian Wilson just kissed her??? Did he really kiss her??


    Her mind was numb, her lips were wet and swollen from the kiss theyst shared.


    Even before she could bring her forefinger to trace her lips, feel them, the door swung opened, her face turned to the front and in there came him.


    He did not wait another second beforeunching himself on her, making her step backwards and he followed her route, enclosing her between the wall, near the open window and him.


    He smooched her lips for the second time, holding her face in position, her heaving chest brushing his shirt, up and down.


    "I could not stop myself..."


    He spoke out through his rough voice, hard from the need, and lust.


    Tinsley''s mouth was sealed as she was still trying to process what had happened again.


    Did he juste back to kiss her for the second time?


    He slid the red strand of her hair behind her ear, clearing off any objects standing on his way to devour her pretty face with his dark eyes.


    He was drawn to her, her big doe shaped eyes peeking at him, the small red nosebined with the pink tainted cheeks...was the most beautiful sight he ever saw in his entire life.


    So he started pampering kisses all over her face starting from her eyes, the nose, making her giggle in between...his lips were carved into a smile for the first time in that day.


    Before he could drink in her irresistible lips again, she moved her head back making him narrow his eyes at her.


    "Can...you be gen...gentle?"


    Her request warmed his heart. He could see the purity and innocence in her soul.


    He was aware of the fact that his both the kisses were rough and demanding only because he had been wanting to kiss her so much for so long ever since they started spending the weekends and days after his work together.


    "Oh! I would be very happy to oblige."


    He said, smiling, making her ease at him. Both closed their eyes as they both leaned in together pasting their lips, sealing their faith, relishing the moments of how it felt kissing under that tree.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 37 - SORT OF KISSING BUDDY??

    "One more?"


    He asked, his lips still pasted on her, squeezing her flesh on her rear side as she was pulling his hairs.


    "Just this one..."


    "Yeah..sure."


    He nodded to whatever she said, not giving many heads as only he could feel that moment was her lips onto his.


    Before he could press in for more, she pushed him away,ughing at the distorted and disappointed face he was making.


    "You are going to bete for work."


    She reminded him, standing up, straightening her shirt, he made a mess of. It was his shirt, to begin with anyway.


    He groaned in annoyance as she was obviously right. He was ten minuteste already. But it did not matter because he had no boss. He was the boss himself.


    She strode forward helping him in wearing back his ck coat, rubbing away on the shoulders.


    "I will see you in the evening?"


    He asked, looking dreamily into her blue eyes. He could never get tired of her blushing at anything he would just utter out.


    "Yeah...I mean I m not going anywhere."


    Tinsley stuttered, sliding that disturbing strand of hair behind her ears.


    "As if I will let you go anywhere."


    Kian narrowed his eyes at her, pulling her closer to him, wrapping his arms around her small waist.


    Tinsley leaned backwards, moving her head to and fro, avoiding his kisses, giggling.


    "You are bing naughty."


    Kian remarked,nding a tap on her butt, making her jump in his hold.


    He slipped out his credit card from his pocket and handed it to her. It was about time she had her own clothes, to her liking through shopping.


    "What is this?"


    Tinsley asked, looking at the card and back at him,fortably leaning on his frontal.


    "You know what is this. "


    "But why are you giving it to me?"


    She questioned being too obvious that she had no idea what for he was handing her his tinum card to her.


    "For shopping of course. "


    He mumbled, kissing her forehead. He had bought her clothes but she hardly wore any of them, he had noticed that.


    Most of the times she would wear his shirt and shorts that did not look bad on her at all but it was too much hard to watch her roaming the condo on those loose clothing.


    "But I have clothes. You bought them."


    "You hardly wear any of them."


    Kian pointed out, installing her feminine smell, dipping his nose in the crook of her neck.


    "Only because I love your shirts and shorts."


    She gave him that sweet smile that could melt anyone with it. Tinsley Rutherford was the definition of smooth, beautiful and sexy in an innocent way.


    "Buy whatever you want. Don''t hold back."


    He said, untangling himself from her, getting ready to head out finally. With onest kiss, he was out leaving her all alone.


    She huffed looking down at the card in her hand. She used to have one exactly the same. Before her mind could slip to that dark ce, she walked away from the living room.


    It was not like she hated the clothes Kian bought for her but they were too fancy to wear in the house and she liked somethingfy and soft to stroll inside.


    She was never a fan of those clothes she used to wear in the past but the family she was born into required her to wear those to showcase their status and fame.


    That was the only reason why many times it was her mother who shopped for her because she never approved of the clothes Tinsley used to bring.


    She closed her eyes being reminded of those days. Back in those days, she could only wonder how she was existing, pretending to be happy when she was not one bit.


    But these past weekends with Kian had been a dream she never dreamed of or thought coulde true.


    They had sort of be a ''kiss buddy'' maybe? She was not sure what to call that...whatever they both were sharing.


    Even though it made her feel, whole and safe in his arms...the way he kisses her makes her relish the passion with a man who embraces his woman.


    Were they man and woman?? Not yet maybe??


    These silly questions would keep jogging in her head until the sunlight bid goodbye and Kian would appear through the front door.


    She did not want to make him feel bad making him think that she had rejected his offer of shopping but she was just too chicken to move outside and face the world after that incident.


    What if Josh found her and dragged her with him??


    Even the thought of him started beating her chest like a drum, thumping furiously.


    She closed her eyes, strolling backwards, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.


    She did not want one bit to distress Kian thinning she declined his offer so she needed to be brave and do as what he requested of her.


    The bond they were sharing was the most cherished one. After that, she had nothing left and she would do anything and everything to be with him like this all her life only if she could.


    After all, obedience was what everyone liked, a direct way to earn a good impression.


    So despite of her fear and anxieties, she headed out, feeling the summer air on her skin for the first time ever since that day.


    Carlos drove her around to all the stores she used to shop. She made sure to buy all the clothes he would like her in.


    It did not matter how hard she tried to push her mother''s voice in the back of her head telling her what to buy and whatnot. So she went with it not know herself.


    Most of them were revealing in a civilised way...the kind her mother would rmend, leaving only a few spots to buy the ones she liked.

 Chapter 38 - NO BUSINESS WITH A SCUMBAG!!!

    I had lost the track of the course of the meeting long ago.


    My mind could only think about what Tinsley Rutherford had been doing all day??


    Was she thinking about me just like I was thinking about her??


    It was crazy yet fascinating how in short period, I was attached to this woman whom I had known only for a little while now.


    Just like she described about our bond in the past which I yet had no idea or memory about, I could feel it like we indeed dis share something unusual.


    "I will go and fetch the files for the next conference."


    Madison said, tugging my attention back to the present world. I nodded at her, giving her the way to go and fetch it.


    "With whom do we have the next meeting?"


    I asked before she could open the ss door to exit. It had slipped out of my mind to who it might have been the next meeting was with.


    "Josh Herrington, Mr Wilson, for the coboration of Herrington Oil and Wilson Oil."


    Madison''s answer only made me conscious. It got me in thinking about what had happened to Tinsley right away.


    ''Josh Herrington''


    The name rang in my mind in repeated motion and Tinsley''s face, battered and shattered came to my view weeks ago.


    That night when Madison collided with her and after that hermitting suicide in the pool, almost killing herself, made Kian feel a shiver down his spine.


    He did not ever want to see or encounter any event like that rting to Tinsley anyway.


    And the reason behind all of these, the man who was responsible for all of the hardships that the poor girl had to go through was visiting him in a few minutes.


    How possibly could he sit still and discuss with that exact man and knock his face down at the same time??


    Kian thought. All he wanted at that moment was to punch Josh Herrington until he was breathless and covered with bloody bruises all over his fucking body.


    He had seen the purple blue marks on her skin...on the face, abdomen and thighs.


    Although it had healed by now but still she would hiss in pain whenever unknowingly his hands would make contact on those areas of her body and it pained him to see her go all through that when she had just lost her parents and it had not been a month either.


    A time came when he thought of calling the meeting off to humiliate that sick bastard who drew fun from inflicting pain upon the weak to prove themselves stronger.


    But then it would make him look unprofessional in the business arena so he decided against it.


    So he took a deep breath trying to calm his mind down. He knew how to deal with that bastard. He just needed to be patient and resist the strong urge of beating the shit out of him for hurting Tinsley in all the possible ways.


    Soonerter, the meeting began with Josh Herrington entering through the ss door.


    Kian avoided any eye contact with him as he would not be able to control himself from throwing that bastard out of the fifty storey building right through the ss wall, breaking through it.


    And the meeting began right after. Madison could sense the difort in her boss''sposure.


    She sure did know the reason behind it and she would not interfere with any of the reckless decision he would make in the end as she did earlier, because she could bet it was worth it.


    "So what do you say, Mr Wilson, we seal the deal for the final time?"


    One of the stockholders of Wilson Inc proposed which made Josh look back at the owner of the partnershippany who was avoiding his gaze throughout the meeting.


    Kian did not reply to that question and continued to stare straight, unmoving and Madison did not bother to make him speak up either.


    "So do we have a deal, Mr Wilson?"


    It was Josh this time, who dropped the question after a few minutes more of discussion.


    Everyone in the round table conference waited for Kian to speak up, expecting a positive nod after all the profits the partnership would earn doing business together.


    "The deal is off. "


    Kian''s response was clear and lucid making everyone look back at him with shock and astonishment. Josh lost the smile on his face. It would cost him millions if he could not secure this deal with the Wilsons.


    "But..but why??"


    "You don''t get to counter-question my decision, Mr Harrington. I make my own decisions for thepany which is rightfully mine. I own more than half of the stock of thispany so anyone who has a problem with my final verdict regarding the deal can sign their stock to me...Madison will get the papers ready. Sure you can do that? Don''t you Madi?"


    Kian looked at his assistant who was sitting all this while, not once trying to interrupt him from rethinking his decision as she would do usually.


    "Yeah..yeah right away, Mr Wilson."


    She said, standing up, trying very hard to control that witty smile from forming on her face by watching the horrified faces of all the suit-d bodies in the confernce hall.


    "Good then. The meeting is adjourned for today."


    That was what Kian said before finally standing up to get out there as he really needed to get out before he did something wrong. He was hardly controlling himself.


    "But what in regards do you not wish to sign the deal??"


    Josh pressed the matter when Kian was just about to cross the threshold of the door, making him stop straight away.


    Both of his palms formed a first, resting on either side and turned around to shut that asshole''s mouth for once and for all.


    "Because I don''t do business with a scumbag."


    That was all everyone heard before Kian stormed out of the conference hall. Madison was tired of holding back herughter and it did not take seconds for her tough out loud, making everyone look at her.

 Chapter 39 - WHATS ABOUT THE RUTHERFORDS??

    "It''s been so nice to finally talk to you."


    Valeria said, sipping on her teacup, smiling gratefully at her long time friend, Doctor Massey.


    "I have been trying to contact you too but duty just gets in between, you know."


    Massey spoke out, to which Valeria nodded her head. It was no mystery how busy a doctor could get.


    "I hope Kian''s girlfriend is doing well. "


    Massey continued talking in between drinking the tea from the china cup, unknowingly shocking Valeria altogether.


    '' Kian''s girlfriend?''


    Did he start seeing someone and had not told her about it yet??


    But that was unlikely for Kian would tell her everything.


    "My my you should have seen the condition I saw her. Poor child, her face was full of cuts and bruises, lying unconscious on the bed only a day or two after Rutherford''s death. "


    Valeria did not make any attempts to stop Massey in between to ask her until she heard the name of the Rutherford.


    What did the death of Rutherfords have to do with the girl?


    "What''s about the Rutherford''s?"


    She asked, could not be able to resist asking. Massey halted in her action.


    "Her parents...the Rutherfords death. It was right after that Kian told me he found her. Someone must have tried to kidnap the poor soul. "


    Massey replied to Valeria''s question with a pitty face blowing Valeria''s mind in the process.


    ''Kian was dating the daughter of the Rutherford''s??''


    How on earth did he even meet her in the first ce??


    What on earth was even happening??


    She thought to herself. She ced her cup and te on the table nearby and leaned forward to confirm the situation or if Massey was just blurting things out of a busy day.


    "You saw Kian with Tinsley Rutherford to be exact?"


    "Oh, why do you ask?"


    "Just answer the question, Massey."


    Valeria pressed getting annoyed at her friend for being irritating for the time being.


    "Of course I did. She was on his bed as I attended to her. He himself asked me to keep it from you and that he would tell you by himself. That is why I have been avoiding our reunion for I can''t keep things out from you...I know by now he did tell you..."


    Massey finished and continued to drink the leftover tea. While Valeria could not understand what was going on.


    Added to that Kian tried to keep this news away from her when he never hid anything from his aunt.


    "Although I do notprehend why are you acting as if you heard it all for the first time."


    Masseymented, cing the cup on the table along with the table, drawing Valeria''s attention back to her.


    "Because I never knew until now."


    "So that means Kian did not..."


    "...no he did not tell me yet."


    Valeriapleted for Massey, making thetter self-conscious as she just spilt something she was meant to kept secret until Kian told Valeria himself.


    "Damn...Kian''s going to go mad at me now for spilling the news to you before he did...my talkative mouth.."


    Massey cursed, getting agitated. People who knew her truly said why she was not to be trusted with one''s secret.


    "Do not worry about that. I will not tell Kian you told me."


    Valeriaforted her troubled friend, patting the back of Massey''s right palm on the table.


    " Thanks to God for acting as my guardian angel."


    Massey smiled nervously.


    "How do you know that she is his girlfriend though?"


    "What do you mean?"


    Massey implored, narrowing her eyes at Valeria, who was staring back at her.


    She could be someone Kian had bought home to save her life may be and not be his girlfriend. Valeria thought.


    "Maybe Kian bought her from her kidnapers saving her life as you said her condition was bad."


    "But no man would look at a woman the way Kian looked at her if he was not in love already. The way he cared about her...hisplexion said it all.


    I mean he would not make her sleep on his bed if she was not special to him or cared deeply about her. "


    Massey concluded with a deep pause in between. And that was all Valeria needed to know before she stood up. Massey did too.


    "What is wrong Valeria?"


    She did not reply right away as thousands of thoughts started flooding her mind.


    Her nephew was in love?? In love with Rutherford''s daughter???


    "Is something wrong about all this??"


    Massey walked up to her, putting a hand on Valeria''s shoulder trying to gain her attention.


    "No..no. Everything is fine...I m just a bit taken aback by the news... it''s a lot to take in."


    Massey nodded at Valeria who seemed way tensed that someone should ought to be in matters like that, instead she could have been happy knowing her nephew had finally met someone he was interested in.


    "I m afraid I have to cut our reunion short, Massey. I..uh..m reminded of an important appointment that needs my immediate attention so thank you for your time..."


    Valeria made up an excuse to head the road, along with her thoughts on the matter.


    "It''s alright, Valeria. We will have brunch next time. You go now before you lose that appointment. "


    Massey smiled. Both the older woman shared a hug before one of them headed out of the private restaurant.


    Valeria waited by the lobby as her driver drove the car to the front. She made a call in Kian''s office to ask him to drop by her mansion in the evening.


    His secretary gave her a positive response although Kian was unavable to take the call for he was attending another meeting.


    She did hear the news of him calling off on that deal with the Herrington and she could only wonder what was even going on in the mind of thatd, dropping important deals, hiding things from her.


    "Drive to Wilson''s Condo."


    She ordered the driver once she sat inside the Mercedes, ready to go.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 40 - SIDE PIECE FOR SIDE CHICK!!

    Tinsley had just returned from her shopping after a long long time.


    Carlos helped her in getting the bags from the car up to her room. There were five of them.


    "Thank you, Carlos."


    She thanked him once he dropped the bags on her bed and smiled at her before heading out.


    "If you need anything else, give a call ma''am. "


    "Sure I will."


    Tinsley replied, and stared back at the retreating figure of Carlos and then closed the door right after.


    She started unpacking the bags, taking out the new clothes. She decided to try on one giving Kian the surprise of seeing her in these new clothes other than his shirts and shorts.


    Even the mildest thought of him calmed her mind, bought a smooth smile to her face.


    She decided to go with the ck one. It was sleeveless, with a prominent cleavage cut, hoping it did not reveal much skin to provoke him.


    She pasted the dress on her frontal, walking up to the standing mirror, admiring how she looked on it before she wore it.


    Her mind took her back to those days when dressing fancy was her day to day task.


    She looked nothing like before. Her hairs were tied in a messy bun, no makeup, not dressed appropriately for the day as her mother would have scolded her.


    She could not help but be reminded of her dead parents as a strand of tear fell out from her eyes. She closed them to quell on the past anymore.


    Rubbing her tears away, she headed back to the bathroom to change. It was about time, she changed and moved on with her life.


    So she decided to dress pretty for the man she loved and adored who unlike anyone else in her life for the very first time cared about her.


    Midway on getting ready, while she was putting her earrings on, she heard the doorbell ring.


    She looked at the hanging clock on the wall, it was only five in the evening, sure it was not Kian.


    But then who could it be?? She thought. Maybe someone that knew Kian?


    Regardless of who it could be, she could not just make the person keep waiting by the door, paining their fingers out from ringing the doorbell.


    And then suddenly she heard a knock on her door. She turned to look at the maid, that worked here.


    "Ms Rutherford, Mrs Wilson is here to see you."


    Tinsley was not sure who this Mrs Wilson was. She had never met anyone by that surname.


    The maid left after dropping the message informing that Mrs Wilson was waiting in the living room for her.


    A few secondster, Tinsley stepped out of her room to meet this Mrs Wilson and as she descended the wooden stairs, she could see an older woman in her mid-fifties, dressed in a red knee-length summer frock, a scarf around her neck, hairs tied in a bun giving her the look of elegance.


    "Mrs Wilson?"


    Tinsley called out as thedy was standing opposite, watching the Starline view through the ss walls.


    Valeria turned back to see who was calling her and could not help but gaze at Tinsley from head to toe, making thetter self-conscious.


    "I m Tinsley Rutherford."


    "I know who you are."


    Valeria said with a strict tone, walking forward and taking a seat on the white sofa while Tinsley kept standing by the edge of the staircase ends.


    Valeria could not drop her judgemental views on thess standing before her, wearing such a revealing dress, her cleavage was opened for anyone to see.


    Was she trying to seduce her nephew??


    No wonder with that angel-like face, wearing the nket of innocence covering her real which like self from the eyes of any beholder, a man like Kian would of course fall for such an enchantress.


    "Are you and my nephew together?"


    The question took Tinsley by surprise. She was not that expecting at all. But so far, she came to knew that it was Kian''s aunty.


    There was a good silence for Tinsley herself did not know if they were together or not.


    Sure they did share intimacy...just kissing and touching...did it count to be called together??


    But he never asked her out. She could not pass that off. She could not just assume he liked her just like she did to him only because he kissed her like he really did like her right???


    So Tinsley shook her head in negative giving Valeria much-needed relief.


    "No...we are not."


    "Good. Because he is promised to someone. "


    Valeria said and it broke something deep inside Tinsley right away. She had to hold on to the pir next to her for support from the shock she received just then, although made sure not to look that way before the olddy.


    "How long are you nning to stay here sucking off on my nephew''s riches?"


    Valeria was very direct in her next question which made Tinsley stutter, not knowing what to say and whatnot.


    Kian told her she could stay as long as she wanted and here his aunt was asking about her departure from her nephew''s property.


    "I know women like you. I knew your parents all too good. How much they loved living in riches..no wonder their daughter turned out to be the same."


    Valeria gave a cruel smile, staring into Tinsley''s watery eyes. She could tell that thess was a softy in her heart. No wonder why her nephew might be smitten by her presence.


    "My nephew is a kind man. He would never ask you to move out of here because this is not his main mansion so I understand...a side piece for the side chick."


    Tinsley kept her mouth shut, listening quietly to the old woman''s bickerings. Now that Valeria was standing close to her, she could see the resemnces in her and Kian''s faces...they both had the same ck jade eyes.


    "But if you have even the slightest bit of dignity as a human, you know what to do next."


    That was all Valeria said before walking out of the hall and entering inside the elevator, eyeing Tinsley viciously and disappearing from thetter''s sight...her words forever imprinted in Tinsley''s mind.

 Chapter 41 - ALWAYS AVOIDED IT!!!

    Kian was on his way to home when Madison knocked before him.


    "What is it Madi?? Look if you are here to lecture me about what happened in there..."


    "No no...I m anything but d you did that. "


    Madison interrupted him right away making Kian stare at her amusingly. He had told her about what had happened to Tinsley so she knew about it all.


    "Thatst line was hit by all means. He deserved it. "


    Madisonmented making Kian smile at her. It was a rare urrence to see Kian Wilson smiling but whenever he did, it made him look ethereal. Madison thought.


    "So what is it then. Why are you here??"


    Kian asked, folding his hands. Madison parted her eyes off of his face to tell him what she was to tell him.


    "Valeria called. She wants to meet you at her house."


    "Did she know?"


    He implored. It was of course obvious he was going to hear a bunch lot for denying the deal with the Herrington from his business-minded aunt.


    "She knows. I did not tell her."


    Madison confirmed his suspicion, raising her hands up in surrender indicating she had nothing to do with it.


    "Well, I better get going then."


    Kian said, moving past Madison who told him that his driver was ready with the car in the front yard.


    _________________________________________


    Kian had no idea how he was going to exin to Valeria his reason behind not epting to seal the deal with the Herrington Oil Co.


    When it came to business, his aunt was only profit motive minded. She would not understand the value of moral conscience of him rejecting the deal as in her eyes this partnership would have yielded theirpany with so much value money.


    In few minute times, the Mercedes stopped before the front yard of the mansion where Valeria Wilson resided all by herself with a staff of about a hundred or more people working under her.


    The butler in the front greeted him when he got out of the car. The driver drove it off to the parking lot on the right-hand side.


    "Madam is ready to meet you in her study."


    The butler said, directing Kian to where the study was. Kian thanked him and headed straight to there, crossing the enormous hall on his way which was empty.


    Kian took a deep breath before knocking on the door and heard a fibble, ''e in '' so he pushed the door inside and got inside, closing the door behind.


    "Valeria?"


    "About time, don''t you think you should address me as Aunty?"


    Valeria smiled, turning back to look at her nephew. She was watching the view of her garden.


    "Is that why you called me?"


    Kian implored, rubbing his nose, walking forward and taking a seat on the ck leather sofa. Valeria joined him.


    "No. I have more pressing matters to discuss with you."


    "I bet you do."


    Kian replied, epting the cup of coffee Valeria handed it to him. She was never to talk with anyone before giving them a refreshment.


    "Why did you.."


    "Look before you ask me why I rejected the business with Herrington, it had to do with a code of moral conduct which you might not understand right now...but I promise you that I will rify it all to youter."


    Kian interrupted Valeria even before she couldplete her question, silencing his aunt who only waited until he was finished.


    "By moral code of conduct, you mean Josh abusing the woman whom you are looking after..."


    Kian was a bit taken aback by what his aunt just said. He could only think of how did shee to know?? Was it Massey???


    "You thought of hiding, keeping things from me?? You know that it''s better not to do it because I always know things, Kian Wilson."


    Valeria let out, standing up, angered by the thought of how because of a stranger, her own nephew started hiding things from her.


    "I never meant to hurt your feelings by doing so..."


    Kian muttered, bending his head down to look at the neatly cleaned tiles.


    "I know you would not have ever only if you knew what the Rutherford''s did to you and your dead mother."


    That got Kian to stand up from his seat abruptly, ring at Valeria. What did she mean by that?? He thought


    "What are you saying, Valeria??"


    "What is the connection between the Rutherford''s and my mother''s death?"


    "You always avoided talking about this topic...then why bring it now??"


    Kian fired questions after questions at his aunt who just continued to nce at him, without speaking out one word out.


    "I avoided it for your good. I do not want you to go back to that dark era ever again. You do not know how hard it was for me to pull you out of that ck hole of grief..."


    Valeria asserted, with a stern voice, breathing high.


    "...only to see your shelter and bed the enemy''s daughter."


    "I m not bedding her for Christ''s sake. And enemy''s daughter?? What the hell do you even mean by that??"


    Kian shouted back, feeling used by his aunt.


    "Do not shout at me, you boy. Know your ce. All I have ever done is for you...you are my centre of attention so it''s my sole right to look after you when you are heading to a wrong path....do you understand??"


    Valeria red at Kian, screaming back with the same intensity. For the best of the situation, Kian decided to keep mum.


    He was aware of the fact that his aunty was angry and it was no use arguing with her, for the respect sake.


    "She is not right for you, Kian. She is a seductress, roaming around your condo with revealing dresses...spending your money....she is not after you but your wealth...I have known her family...they would do anything to maintain their life living in riches...Josh is gone, so she is here with you..."


    Valeria borated, walking closer and patting her nephew''s shoulder, trying to calm him down.


    Kian did not say another word or waited to hear one more, he just walked away from the hall leaving his aunt stunned.


    _______________________________________________


    MAKE THE AUTHOR MOTIVATED ENOUGH TO WRITE MORE IF U NEED MORE CHAPTERS....YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TO DO.....

 Chapter 42 - FIGHT FOR THE LOVE SHE HAD DREAMED OF...

    On his way, Kian was thinking about what his aunt just told him.


    Rutherford''s being their enemy. He could not decipher that part. How was the Rutherford''s their enemy??


    There was never one dispute between Rutherford and Wilson in the business world.


    And what was the connection between his mother''s death and Rutherford?


    He did not understand any of those. He did remember the fragments of his childhood when he was devastated hearing his mother''s death.


    He did recall of those times when his aunt tried to make him eat, do things..just a bit and pieces of those memories were all he had now.


    So he could not even remember those things Tinsley told him about. If she was indeed telling the truth.


    He had no means to verify whatever she was telling him was true or not. All he could do was rely on his senses or believe whatever his aunt told him for she was the one who grew him up and not Tinsley...who he had not known ever for a few months now.


    Whom should he trust???


    Before he could reach to any alternative in answering the question, he had reached home, the Mercedes stopped on the front veranda.


    When he looked out, he thought he had reached the condo but then it was his main house...the mansion.


    He forgot to tell the driver to drive him to the condo and it was toote to ask him to turn around so he decided against it and went out of the car.


    Once inside his room, he pulled the tie off him, folding the handcuffs and walked towards his minibar to pour himself a whiskey.


    He made it strong with too many ice cubes to calm his nerves. After the dramatic day that he had passed off, he needed relief.


    He was not used toing back home anymore without her jumping upon his bones, kissing the life out of each other, while she giggled in his arms when he twirled her around.


    Her giggles soothed his tiredness off like a smooth symphony entering his ears, giving peace to his bones.


    He knew that he got attached to her within a short period but it was really hard not to get attached to her when she was the perfectbination of innocence and calmness for him.


    Throughout the following days that came, Kian decided against his wishes to visit her, to maintain a distance between them.


    Perhaps he did get attached to her too quickly..maybe he indeed was infatuated by her enchanting beauty like his aunt had said.


    So he did what he thought would be best to forget her...to reduce this connection he felt they had built together over the past few weekends.


    He poured himself to work and never once tried to make contacts with Tinsley..not even to ask her whereabouts. He thought this was necessary for his future.


    Meanwhile, in the condo, after that talk with Mrs Wilson, Tinsley could not help but feel uncertain about what Kian and she shared during the past few weeks.


    He did not tell her about the news that he was promised to someone else despite the fact that all the times, he was the one who initiated intimacy between them.


    She was horrified to know that he had another woman back in his real home to whom he would get married and here with her, he was making out, kissing her, touching her...making her feel things only to make her see he was not treating her any less than a mistress.


    And for some time, she thought..maybe all these were false usations..might be his aunt was lying to her...or maybe it was indeed true for he had note to visit her ever since.


    She cried her eyes out again, that night, thinking about him. She knew she was a very emotional person and cried easily...she was a softy and everyone ridiculed her about it.


    She tried to act brave and not a coward from the moment when her parents died and after what had happened to her but then with the arrival of Kian..she seemed to have forgotten all the hardships she had to go through in those three days.


    She was being too obsessive over him...over the man who returned to her after so many long years of waiting only to discover that he was not any different...he was using her like any other men.


    Valeria Wilson''s words kept repeating in her mind and for once she felt like she really should leave this ce to start anew and fresh...away from all this madness but where can she begin...there was nothing for her..not even a penny tost in the road for a single day.


    She always felt dependant her entire life and the thought of it always made her feel bad but with Kian...she never felt like that...maybe only because she loved him and still did.


    What she should have known was to take even a single minute of her time to think if he felt the same way like her??


    That was her mistake. She never thought of that...she was so into her dreand on seeing him before her in bones and flesh that she forgot to question the reality of the situation.


    So long year''s had passed by that it was obvious, he was not the same Kian anymore. He had changed...he had moved on with his life and perhaps found a woman whom he wanted to marry shortly.


    She was just a memory of his past whom he even had no idea of. Those things and realizations broke her more.


    Maybe it was time to really move on and never look back at all. But her crazy heart would not listen. It kept telling her to stay and fight for the love she had dreamed of for so many years now.

 Chapter 43 - WHAT DID I DO TO YOU!!!

    It was early in the morning when Tinsley felt her lips dry so she woke up from her deep slumber, partially awake but she could feel as if someone was touching her hairs.


    It was still dark and she could not see the face of the person who was doing it as she was sleeping, curled to the other side.


    Her heart started thumping against her chest speedily, not knowing who the stranger might be...her worst thought let her to thinking what if it was Josh??


    What if he was here and it was him behind her???


    She did not move at all, remained static in her position, did not giving any instance to the unknown man that she was awake and in alert mode.


    A numerous amount of thoughts were sting her mind second by second...nning of how to deal with her intruder.


    Her eyes fell upon the flower vase nearby on the bedside table and thought of smashing it on the intruder but then if she made any movement to get there, her intruder woulde to know she was awake.


    But other than that there were no more good ns she could think of putting into action.


    With each time passing, she pretended to move in her sleep, not giving any way of signal to her intruder that she was awake.


    And once her right hand dangled out of the bed, she waited for a while trying to calm herself down.


    She knew that picking up the vase and simultaneously turning over and smashing it on his head would have to be very very quickly or else she would be caught forever and there would not be any escape.


    She waited for a few minutes or so and when she was sure that it was time and she could do it...she breathed in a huge chunk of air, getting ready to jump on a mission.


    She still could feel the fingers running over her hairs, the same way it was before so he was not alerted yet.


    With the lightning sh speed, Tinsley swung herself up, got hold of the flower vase and smashed it on his head, not even waiting to look at his face.


    "What the hell???"


    He shouted and Tinsley screamed, jumping out of the bed, as the broken sses of the vase spluttered on the bed.


    "Stay the fuck away from me... Help.. help!!!"


    Tinsley yelled thest part when she saw him standing up from the bed, one hand massaging his forehead anding towards her.


    "Don''t move closer...don''t you dare...I will...I will jump through the win...window..."


    Tinsley stuttered, walking backwards as he moved his steps forward. His face is yet not visible to her. It was dark inside, the curtains were covering the ss walls.


    "Goddamnit...It''s me...Tinsley...stop..."


    "No...I will not...stay away from me...I will jump...jump off..."


    Tinsley cried out, still moving backwards, a few steps away from hitting her back on the walls made of ss, covered by the white curtains.


    "Fuck....for fuck sake...stop you scaredy cat...I won''t move...fine....fine...see I m not moving..."


    Tinsley did not stop until she saw him stop on his track. Her chest was heaving up and down, afraid...too much afraid.


    She was not in the present state anymore. Her mind had taken her back to that vi where she was kept captive by Josh.


    "Tinsley....rx...calm down. It''s me... it''s me, Kian....baby breathe..."


    Kian tried to move closer but that only made her step backwards again so he stopped abruptly.


    "Ok...fine...I won''te near...Tinsley wake up...I m Kian...just calm down...I m Kian..."


    On recognising that voice from her daze state of mind, Tinsley looked up at the stranger.


    "You...you''re Kian??"


    "Yes...yes... it''s me Kian. Breathe baby."


    She was yet not sure whether or not to believe it. His face was not visible to her but then the voice....she recognised that voice...it was Kian''s.


    Kian got the hint of her state, she was terrified at the moment and had gone to the dark zone again so he instead moved backwards, himself, giving her the sense of safety and meantime getting closer to switch on the lights.


    When she saw that he was stepping backwards, that made her put her guards down a little bit and when the light was on, she looked around in shock only to see Kian...standing by the threshold of the room...his head bleeding.


    "Oh my God...Kian...what the..."


    Once she saw him, she rushed towards his side in a heartbeat and held him in her arms...Kian hugged her back.


    "What did I do to you??"


    She cried, looking at his state. A bit of blood flowing out of the ss cut on the right side of his forehead.


    "It''s fine... it''s nothing, just a simple cut..."


    "It''s not... it''s my fault..."


    Tinsley could not stop the tearsing out of her eyes, repeatedly without a full stop and at that moment, the sight before him broke Kian''s heart.


    He was sure of the fact now that he could never look at her in such a horrifying state, scared and so much afraid.


    "It''s not your fault. I should not have sneaked out at you like that...Tinsley, I m fine..."


    She shook her head when he tried to console her, rubbing her back as she could not stop sobbing her heart out.


    "Come to bed...let me do the dressing before it gets infected."


    She said, holding his hand and letting him sit on the bed. She moved out to get the first aid kit while he waited for her.


    On returning, she opened the box and took out the wipes and band-aids to aid him. He kept silent watching her every move.


    She sure was one hell of a beautiful woman and it was very obvious he was mesmerized by her. His aunt was right and holding back from it...it was toote now.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 44 - ARE YOU TRYING TO SEDUCE ME???

    Tinsley rubbed off the blood from his wound very carefully, her eyes watering every second of it throughout the entire thing.


    Once the wound was clean, she applied an ointment before putting a band of air on it. The cut was not too deep, so it would heal sooner.


    She moved out to keep the box in its ce but then Kian held her back, snaking his arms around her small waist.


    "I m fine. I promise. "


    He could not help but say that for he could see how much guilt and pain she was feeling from it.


    He needed to make her know that it was not her fault and that he was actually really fine, by looking deep into her eyes.


    "I m sorry."


    Tinsley whispered, bending her head forward so that both their foreheads were touching then.


    "You are fine."


    Kian smiled at her, extending one of his hands up to rub her tears away, making her lean more to his touch, closing her eyes.


    He pulled her closer making her sit on hisp. She obliged, dropping the box on the bed, circling her hands around his beck.


    Both of them did not say a word and continued to stay in that position, holding each other in silence as the sun rose up from the horizon lightning the room through the drapes of the curtains.


    _______________________________________________


    It was in nine in the morning and the maid was serving the English breakfast in Tinsley''s room.


    When the door of the bathroom clicked opened, Kian turned back to see Tinsleye out, dressed in a fresh set of clothes after she much needed refreshing bath.


    He could not part his eyes away from her. She looked so beautiful in that knee-length off-shoulder dress.


    It was for the first time ever since the party, he was seeing her dressed properly apart from his shorts and shirts.


    Tinsley did not know if she did the right thing choosing to dress up in the very morning. But she wanted to try something new so she went on with it.


    Looking at Kian how he was watching her from head to toe, she did not know if it was a good sign or a bad sign.


    Not knowing how to break the silence, she said the first thing that came to her mind.


    "I see English breakfast."


    That made Kian to jump back into the present and then he signalled the maid to walk out.


    "Come... let''s eat."


    He said, gesturing for her to walk forward. She nodded her head and stepped closer. He pulled the chair out for her and once she was seated, he moved to the other side to take his own seat.


    "How is...your head??"


    "It''s never been better before."


    Kian smiled and she returned that smile to him genuinely. Without saying much, they both started to move their knife and fork to eat the food served in their ce, stealing mini nces of each other.


    Kian could not stop his eyes from heating on the sight before him. As she ate, her chest heaved up and down. The off-shoulder dress gave a clear view of the cleavage.


    It was at that time, he got reminded of his aunt''s saying how she would dress up to try and seduce him.


    Was she really doing that at the moment??


    Was she really faking innocence to gain his sympathy and protection??


    He could not help but be raised to those questions without a possible answer.


    Throughout the breakfast, her gaze was down on her te of food while his eyes remained pasted to hers.


    And out of nowhere, he finally decided to let out his thought for her to hear and get answers.


    "Are you trying to seduce me?"


    He asked, loud enough for her to hear, making her stop eating altogether, dropping her fork on the te, raising her head to look up at him.


    "M I what?"


    "Are you wearing that dress to seduce me??"


    Kian repeated his question once again, moving his eyebrows up.


    Somehow that question made Tinsley rile up with anger. How dare he think she was that low to do such kind of thing??


    All her life, she was looked down on, treated mockingly...Josh spent his time around calling her a slut and never did once, she tried to fight back as she should have done from way before.


    But hearing the person...the man she trusted so much more than anyone even after long year''s of separation, doubting upon her made her skin boil inva.


    She decided against giving him any answers at all and stood up abruptly to walk away but Kian held her back.


    She tried to struggle out of his grasp, he only tightened his hold.


    "Let me go."


    She spat, narrowing her eyes at him.


    "Not before you answer my damn question."


    Kian retorted back harshly getting agitated by her behaviour of trying to disobey him. It only made him give in to a little bit more belief in what his aunt told him a few days before.


    "And what if I do not want to tell you anything at all."


    Tinsley spoke out, burning her eyes on him. She was furious at him for trying to act all good and innocent when he was not treating her better than anyone else, in reality, keeping her as the mistress in the secret.


    "Grown quite a mouth of your own? Don''t you think?"


    Kian mocked, standing up from his seat, still holding her in ce, not letting go of her yet.


    "Why do you even care when you have your woman to go back to?"


    Tinsley yelled, trying to push him off of her. That only made Kian look at her strangely.


    What the hell was she talking about??


    He thought internally.


    "What did you just say??"


    "What??? Blown out because I know the truth?? "


    Tinsley''s eyes spurted hot waters out of them as she spoke out, with so much pain and agony that even Kian could feel it, looking right into her red eyes.


    "That all this while when I thought you were the right one but you turned out just like all of them...keeping me as the mistress hidden from the outside world."

    "What did you just say??"


    "What??? Blown out because I know the truth?? "


    Tinsley''s eyes spurted hot waters out of them as she spoke out, with so much pain and agony that even Kian could feel it, looking right into her red eyes.


    "That all this while when I thought you were the right one but you turned out just like all of them...keeping me as the mistress hidden from the outside world."


    Kian could not decode what she was using of him yet but let go of her when he sensed that something was off...someone might have done something.


    And his mind directly held his aunt suspicious of it. It had to be her...or else whom??


    She must have said something to Tinsley and that was causing the tension between them.


    "Exin to me everything you heard."


    He asked her sternly. Tinsley only red at him even though the tears were freely falling out of her damp red eyes.


    "What do I need to exin to you, Kian fucking Wilson??? The master of deceiving someone!!!"


    "Do not talk to me like that. And I have never deceived anyone."


    Kian was getting irritated by her behaviour. He was never used to someone talking to him like that.


    "Oh right?? That is why you keep the truth away from me that you are promised to someone while you kiss me to death like your bloody fucking mistress."


    Tinsley spat out every word out, making Kian taken aback.


    "You bloody bastard!!! Even Josh was better off than you not trying to make me his mistress..."


    And that got Kian in his nerves the moment she mentioned Josh''s name, worstparing him with her, calling him far worst than her.


    "Shut the fuck up."


    He roared, stopping her midway, making her jerk back in shock of his sudden outburst.


    "Why??? Because the truth is out??"


    Tinsley for once in her life decided to brave up and face an argument without backing down at all, not crawling away to the dark corner in fear.


    "Because I know your true face now??"


    Kian kicked the chair off between them and strode forward, holding by her bony shoulder.


    "You stop using my and that scumbag''s name in the same line for God''s sake or else..."


    He shouted off on her face, eyes trained upon hers.


    "....or else?? Else what?? You will tie me up here and beat me just like him??"


    "Shut up, you fucking brat....shut that mouth up before I do something for Christ''s sake!!!"


    Tinsley was shaking from inside but decided to carry on with her brave self and whispered out. She had never seen him this angry ever.


    "What if I not??"


    Kian did not say a word, maintained a stronghold on her shoulders, digging his fingers on the exposed skin, imprinting his finger marks on them.


    "That is only left for you to do because you are no better than him..."


    Tinsley vehemently let out, leaning her face closer to his. And before Kian would end up doing something, he would regret, he pushed her away.


    She stumbled back, losing her bnce and fell down, knocking the ss off from the table and breaking it. The pieces of sses pierced inside her palm.


    "Goddamnit!!"


    Kian strode forward to help her and that made Tinsley only to crawl backwards.


    He did it...he finally did what she had been associating him to be all this long. He confirmed her doubts to be true.


    "Tinsley...I...uh..."


    "Just leave me alone..."


    She cried her eyes out, sobbing in the way, her voice barely audible.


    It broke him to see her like that. He had been doing nothing but making her cry ever since he came to meet herst night.


    Maybe maintaining a distance from her was a better idea. He gave her onest nce and then stormed out of the room.


    Tinsley held the bleeding hand close to her heart, crying her heart out. She was not feeling any better but at least she finally let out what her heart had been wanting to ask him all of these days.


    The more of her hatred to him directed was because he spent an entire week out of her contact. He did not even try to call her.


    That only made her believe what Valeria Wilson said. Maybe he was with her...the woman he was promised to??


    It pained her very badly to even think of him with someone else. She did not care if anybody heard her crying at this point as she let off her sobs freely to be out in the air.


    On the other hand, Kian was standing right outside of her room and could hear her crying...her loud sobs piercing deep through his disturbed heart.


    He wanted nothing more than to rush inside and pick her in his arm, exining to her that he had no one in his life.


    But the damage had already been done. She now eyed him the same as her captivator...she looked at him with no difference.


    His presence would only make it more worse...she was now afraid of him. He had done this...he had instilled fear in her senses about him. He had done what he was afraid of all along.


    Not being able to stand still and listen to her heavy sobs, he moved out of there, not before ordering the maids to look after her and then stormed out of the house, starting the engine of his Mercedes and then driving away.


    Sitting ideally there, with the room being an utter mess, Tinsley could hear the sound of the car engine and she knew that it was his.


    It made her sob more louder and heartbreaking than before when she realized that he was going back...he was going back to that woman...leaving her all alone here...all by herself.


    Ahhh!!! Poor heart...she cursed her own self for being too easy and dumb.

 Chapter 46 - HEART AND SOUL!

    Kian kept driving to where he had no idea.


    His ears could only hear her heartbreaking sobs and see the way her eyes reddened looking at him in his mind.


    He knew that he should not be so provoked by it but the truth was that he indeed felt something...something ufortable inside of him for leaving her in that condition.


    Without knowing, he stopped his car in front of his aunt''s house and even though he had no intention of driving up to here but he did inside in his mind to confront her about why she fed Tinsley with lies about him.


    The guards opened the main gate as he got out of the Mercedes Benz. Another one came forward to park his car as he strode forward without stopping to do it himself.


    "Madam is in the living room."


    The butler in the front yard said as Kian barged inside, fuming with rage. He hated being lied to and lied upon.


    "Why would you lie about me to her??"


    He shouted loud enough for his voice to be heard in every nook and corner of the giant hall that led to the living room in the centre of it, the moment he stepped foot inside the mansion.


    Valeria turned around to face her nephew in the very morning, with her cup of tea in her hand.


    "What a surprise??"


    She smiled at him but Kian did not react to it as he continued to walk forward and halted suddenly when he saw him.


    "What the hell he is doing here??"


    Kian yelled at his aunt. He could not believe that the bastard was here, sitting sofortably on their house sofa, sipping on the cup of tea.


    "Oh! I and Josh were talking business... it''s good that you are here too."


    Valeria said, walking closer to Kian and then dragging him toe and sit with them by his arms.


    Kian was too shocked and so followed his aunt around. He could not believe the fact that his own aunt went behind him to discuss business with the man he solely told her not to.


    "Plus he knows why you rejected his case so it''s fine. All Mr Harrington wants is for you to return his contracted bride back to him and we shall be alright from henceforth....all the enmity was forgotten..."


    As Valeria let out in details, Kian turned to look at her. He was out of his wits when he heard her say that Josh was not here for business but for Tinsley.


    He wanted to take Tinsley back....back from him.


    If by any chance, Tinsley came to know about this, she would try to escape ormit suicide once again.


    And he swore to God, that he would never let any of that happen to her. He swore to protect and look after her the moment he rescued her life from that darkke.


    "Mr Wilson, I know that you must have heard miss information regarding me...and Ipletely understand you have doubts about me...."


    Josh spoke up, a genuine smile stered on his face as he stood up to take with Kian.


    "Tinsley can be very pressing...and believe me when I say this she must have been assaulted on her way out of the mansion only because we had one fight...I mean can you believe just one fight and she runs away???"


    Josh blurted out, looking at both Kian and Valeria. She shook her head in disapproval.


    "Rtionships are all about fights and making it up to each other. "


    Valeriamented, smiling. Josh nodded his head.


    "Exactly!! See you get it, Mrs Wilson. But Tinsley would not as you know she has been bought up in such a way where she thinks everyone should abide by her....one unruly brat...I tell you, Mrs Wilson....one unruly..."


    And even before Josh could curse Tinsley one more time, Kian hadnded a huge punch on his face, knocking the man down to the carpeted floor.


    Valeria screamed behind, rushing to stop Kian from hitting the wounded man more.


    "What the hell??? Kian???"


    She bent down to help Josh up on his feet, checking for any wounds. If he was hurt really badly because that punch indeed looked very bad.


    "One more word about her....and I will rip your heart out..."


    Kian spat with so much venom on his mouth that it even shocked his own aunt who never saw him in that look on his face.


    Josh kept shut, breathing heavily, still not believing that he just got hit by someone else.


    Valeria stood up, shaking her head and walking before Kian, looking at his face straight away.


    "That''s not any way to treat your guests, Kian Wilson. Have you lost your mind??"


    "Oh, I did, Valeria...I did the moment you decided to sneak behind my back and call this bastard to take her back???"


    Kian did not hold his anger back even from his aunt this time. All the respect he had for her was gone the moment she heard him call Josh not for business but to give Tinsley back to that monster.


    He had seen her...watched her cry to sleep full of nightmares. Hell, he had seen her yesternight, how shocked and afraid she was that Josh hade to get her.


    That fucking bastard!!! He had sessfully instilled a sense of fear inside that full-hearted soul for good.


    "And what is so wrong in that?? Mr Herrington is going to be her husband. He has rights over her..."


    "No...he has no rights over her. If he forgot that I will not remember that in his own party, he broke that contract by himself..."


    Kian cut his aunt right away. He remembered that night quite well. The moment when he saw her enter the party with a smile that he had never seen anymore after that night.


    "I have not yet signed the contract off. It still exists."


    Josh said in between his painful moans, making Kian re at him.


    "So legally he still has rights over Tinsley, Kian. Why are you even fighting this?? What is she to you??"


    Valeria stepped in to fill the gap, defending Josh.


    "She is someone I care about heart and soul."


    Kian said, stressing each word with utmost honesty in his voice.

 Chapter 47 - THAT STUBBORN BRAT!!!!

    Valeria screamed out her nephew''s name as he left the mansion like a raging volcano.


    He did not wait once to hear her out as he felt betrayed by the only one he had known his whole life.


    The gatekeeper drove his Mercedes to the front and Kian got inside, driving out of the ce without ncing back at his aunt for once.


    Valeria was shocked by the way he reacted. Never in her life did she once think of Kian Wilson disobeying her the way he did today.


    Was it toote than before she got to know???


    Did the witch already trapped her nephew in her grasp??


    A zillion of questions pierced through her mind and she had not concluded many of them.


    "So what does this mean?? M I going to get that wrench back or not??"


    A limping Josh came to the gateway, voicing out to a deep in thought Valeria Wilson.


    Valeria turned to look back at Josh Herrington who stared back into her eyes.


    "Well, that was not how I expected my nephew to react but he did...and it''s not good."


    Valeria said, breathing in a chunk of air. She was yet to think of an idea that would finally separate her nephew from the crawls of the witch.


    "What did you even do to her??"


    Valeria could not help but ask because she knew that when it came to protecting someone, Kian would never hold back.


    For that Josh would have to do something really bad upon Tinsley and that did exin why Kian would hesitate like that to hand her back to him.


    "Just this and that to tame that horrendous brat..."


    Josh replied, shaking his head, not wanting to admit what he actually did to anyone.


    He needed Tinsley back by hook or crook and he did not want to lose the only ally he had left that would help him get her.


    After all, she was always meant to be his.


    _______________________________________________


    Kian was driving furiously to his condo. He was afraid that Josh would get in there before than him or let his man take Tinsley out of there forcefully.


    He waged his Mercedes in through the huge noon traffic and finally reached the destination.


    Without waiting for one minute, he ran out of the car and hit his fingers on the numbers of the lift and got inside.


    Meanwhile, Tinsley was done crying for her cruel fate, destined to stay alive with no love.


    The maids had cleaned the room up and led her up from sitting on the floor to the bed.


    She was watching the view out through the ssy walls, thinking what she should do next.


    As her stay here was of course not weed anymore and she could not think of any other ce where she could crash before she couldnd herself a job and be on her way by herself.


    Her heart wanted to go back to Anna Maria as she badly needed someone to envelop her tired self with a warm hug, telling her that everything would be alright with time.


    It was at that moment, she was reminded of the offer from Mrs Wilson. Should she consider that??


    After all, she was the one who told her the truth about the man she was so blindly in love with.


    If not for her, she would have nevere to know that he was promised to someone else all these times.


    Even though she had some very bad opinion regarding her but it did not matter anymore because everyone that she had met in her life always thought that how easy one life she had.


    But they did not know what she had to lose in getting a free richness life. She had to lose herself for that materialistic life.


    So without thinking much, she got up and packed a duffle bag with only a few clothes and ringed the number of Mrs Wilson on the card.


    But then she heard the knock on the front door so handed the call-up and got out of her room to see who hade.


    Her heart cried at the sight of him, storming inside. He looked so wrecked and devastated.


    But before she could not stop herself anymore from running up to him and throwing her arms around him, she hid herself behind the white pir, holding tightly on the railing.


    Kian was about to make his way upstairs when his phone rang and he stopped to answer it.


    It was Valeria. He rolled his eyes at the name but picked up regardless.


    "What exactly do you want??"


    He questioned and Tinsley continued to hide behind listening to his conversation. She had no idea who he was talking to in that angry voice.


    "You want me to hand her back to him???"


    And that knocked Tinsley off her ground. She could not believe what she just heard.


    He was nning to hand her back to Josh all these times and she thought he was protecting her.


    Oh!! How foolish of her???


    She thought. Her eyes blinked with water inside as it made her vision hazy and unclear.


    "Is that what you want???"


    And she did not wait anymore there


    She ran towards her room which made Kian to look up at the staircase.


    He hung up the phone and climbed up to talk to her. But Tinsley had locked her door and sat against it, mping her knees together on the tiled floor.


    "Tinsley??? Open the door. I need to talk to you. "


    Kian knocked on the door lightly, not enough to make a sound and make her afraid.


    "No...no I do not want to talk to you. Go...get away from me. "


    She yelled out loud. Kian still insisted and knocked on the door harder than before.


    "Let me in damnit. Just let me fucking in..."


    "No...I will never ever let you in.....just leave me alone you cheating prick...."


    Tinsley cried out and that made Kian annoyed. He tried a few more times before his patience ran out and stormed out of there.


    "That stubborn brat!!!"


    He cursed, going away, making Tinsley tear up once again on the other side of the door.


    _______________________________________________


    I TAKE IT YOU GUYS DO NOT WANT TO JOIN A CONVERSATION PLATFORM WITH ME WHERE YOU COULD INTERACT WITH ME REGARDING THE STORY ON MY DISCORD SERVER...


    I DID NOT GET ANY REPLIES, SO MAYBE DROP IT...


    VOTE PLS!!! IT''S A REQUEST AND SHARE THE BOOK PLSSS!!!

 Chapter 48 - "I NEED TO ESCAPE!!!"

    I was feeling every kind of emotions and worst of all... the pain was the highlight of each one of them.


    I could not understand why did people make a promise that they could never keep??


    I had lived my life through a series of broken promises.


    The first one being my father promising to love me forever but after that dreadful news that he could never have a son....it was the end of an era for me thriving on my father''s love.


    After that, everything changed. My life took a u-turn in that very day...the silver lining of it was my hand getting promised to Josh Herrington and raising me to be an ideal wife material.


    Later in myte teenage period, by Kian himself. He promised that he would never ever leave me but he did...disappearing in the thin air, breaking my heart for the very first time.


    And the list goes on until Josh had to reject me in front of everyone. Even when I had made myself believe that he was the man for me when in reality he could never ever be one...not in zillion years even when he tried his guts out.


    It was over.


    My parent''s death was an eye-opener for me of the fairy tale life I was living when in reality, it was me living in a fancy prison.


    When the waves of reality hit me, they hit me hard making me lose my bnce, fall on the ground on my face...breaking everything in me until I met Kian.


    He instilled the ray of hope in me once again and it was what I thought wouldst forever...making my life at least more meaningful than before it was.


    But then he had to break my happy bubble in the most cruellest way, leaving mepletely shattered.


    I should have known better...learned better but guess I was dumb to not learn it in the first time.


    My father was right about that...that I was a slow learner..not just slow in understanding things but slow in everything.


    No wonder he was disgusted by me. Being his daughter, the way he was..the shrewd and clever while I was a nut case.


    But I knew better than to sit here and keep checking in my past, mourning over it, wishing if I had done it differently...would my life have had changed for the better???


    The answer to this question would forever be a mystery to me and I shall nevere to a specific conclusion.


    So I took out the duffle bag that I was nning to elope with from here. If I had a second thought about not leaving before...now I had none.


    I was very sure that this was what I needed to know to save myself and protect myself from any harm.


    I could not rely on anyone anymore. All were traitor, selfish men with no one having even the slightest bit of humanity in them.


    I went to pick the house telephone and sat on the bed with the number ready to be dialled from the card.


    I knew that I would have to leave this ce as soon as possible. I could not waste any minute anymore here. If he came back, he would not leave me alone...not before handing me back to Josh..now that he found me knowing all his secrets and repelling to his actions.


    A strand of tear fell off from my eyes and very hesitantly with a daring soul, I called Mrs Wilson, filling every hint of shame that I was asking help from the woman who despised my guts.


    The ring went on for a few seconds and I thought that she might not pick up but then she did.


    "Wilson Residency, who is this??"


    A young woman voice was heard through the other side. It was not Mrs Wilson.


    "I m Tinsley Rutherford. I need to talk with Mrs Wilson. "


    I spoke out. I really hoped that the woman allowed me to and handed the phone immediately to her owner.


    "Wait a minute...you are in luck, Mrs Wilson is in the home today."


    The woman replied and I was d to hear it. I kept my fingers crossed hoping that Mrs Wilson would ept my call and also offered tond me the help.


    I waited patiently and in the background, I could hear the rustling noises.


    "What is it, Adda?"


    "Madam, one Tinsley Rutherford wishes to talk to you."


    My heart started beating as I heard the woman transferring my calls finally to Mrs Wilson, anxiously waiting for if Mrs Wilson would ept to talk or not.


    "Transfer the call to my personal cell and leave. Do not allow anyone else to disturb me. "


    I was d that Mrs Wilson epted it and prayed in my core that our conversation would hopefully go well for it was my only chance to escape safely.


    "Ms Rutherford? Was expecting to hear from you but not this soon..."


    "I...uhh...I m in dire need of your help."


    I did not wait much and hit it right on the point. I knew dragging the conversation would be meaningless and knowing how much busy Valeria Wilson was as a woman...time for them was very valuable.


    "You know that if I dond you a hand in help, I ept a favour from you too??"


    I did not know what kind of favour Valeria Wilson was expecting from me but I knew that whatever it would be, I needed to ept it because I had no choice in it...I was the one in dire need of her help, not she.


    "I shall agree to whatever favour you ask of me in the future."


    I said and after a moment of pause as if she was analyzing my words...the promise I was given to her through the other side.


    "What do you need my help for?"


    "I need to escape from here."


    _______________________________________________


    I WAS PLANNING TO GIVE 2 UPDATES BUT THEN WE COULD NIT REACH 100 VOTES B4 RESET...SO NO DOUBLE UPDATES..


    MAYBE THIS WEEK WE CAN TRY TO CROSS 100 VOTES AND HAVE YOUR DOUBLE UPDATES???

 Chapter 49 - FOR WALKING IN MY PRISON...THANK YOU!!!

    I directly let it out, not beating around the bush. She hummed from the other side, agreeing to offer her hand in my help.


    "So what is the favour you ask of me??"


    "Promising to never return here if I help you escape."


    And that was something in the line I was expecting but never knew that abiding by my promise would be so hard.


    Never promising to return would mean that I would never ever get to see Kian again anymore.


    And I felt the most hurtful punch in my chest even at the thought of it...not being able to see him when I had only got to see him after such a long period...waiting for him forever.


    But in my heart even though it was crying cats and dogs, I knew that staying away from him was the best for me...not seeing him would be just fine for my survival.


    "I give you my word. I will never return if you help me escape."


    I said it out loud and a line of tears fell off of my eyes in continuous motion, without any stoppage as I hung the call-up.


    I muffled my sobs, pressing my palm hard on my mouth, stopping myself from crying out loud for the pain I feel in my already broken heart.


    I did not want the nurse toe running inside again and report it to him, letting hime back here when I should be escaping before he came back.


    I gave myself a few moments to get settled to the news that I would never return here in the states anymore as Valeria proposed I step out of the country altogether.


    And it was for the best, I could not deny it for it would help me start anew, fresh in the next chapter of my life.


    I drew my duffle bag up and rechecked my clothing. I was d that I had picked one of his shirts with me for it would be thest souvenir of him...I shall ever have.


    When I heard the honking of a car on the time Mrs Wilson told me about it, it was my cue to leave my room and sneakily step out of the condo.


    I knew that it would not be easy as there were guards and they would never allow me to step out alone unless I have Kian''s permission and they too knew about it.


    I walked out of my room casually and then crossed the hall without looking at the workers working in it, cleaning, swiping as they gave me the eyes.


    I opened the door and got inside the elevator before my nurse could stop me and I was grateful about that as she would not make this easy.


    On reaching the downstairs, I saw Carlos drinking coffee, waiting by the gates and I could also see the blue dodge that Valeria told me would be picking me up, parked by the side.


    All I needed was to get there without alerting Carlos and then get out of this ce for once and for all.


    I waited for a while, watching Carlos finishing his cup of coffee and walking away to dispose of it...it was my cue to run and I did.


    I hoped that Carlos would not see me, not turn his head back for a goddamn minute but to my bad luck, he did.


    "Ms Rutherford??? Ms Rutherford, wait..."


    He shouted but I did not oblige and sped my running, looking back and forward. The driver of the dodge opened the passenger door for me and I started running faster than before...before Carlos dragged me back inside.


    "Ms Rutherford, wait!!! I would have to report this to Mr Wilson, wait!!!"


    I did not and got inside the dodge safely. The driver was quick to drive forward but Carlos ordered the guards to close the gate and I was afraid if we could drive past it in time or not.


    But it was a bitte for Carlos to order that out as even before the guard could close one gate, we drove out of it, knocking the other gate off and I breathed out in relief.


    _______________________________________________


    Throughout the journey, I did not hear one word from the driver. He kept his eyes ahead and kept driving and I was too disturbed to start a conversation as everyone knew how much I hated silence.


    But with time people grew to love the things they hated before...they live finding peace in those as they could never have it the other way.


    I was a bit taken aback when I saw that instead of driving me to the airport to board my ne to Russia, the driver drove me somewhere else.


    I got in my alert mode as millions of disturbing thoughts arrowed inside my head.


    "Where are you taking me??"


    I asked, leaning forward, hoping that he was not taking me to Josh instead.


    "Mrs Wilson told me to take you to her first before heading to the airport. "


    He replied and that made me sigh in relief. I nodded my head positively. At least he was not taking me to Josh.


    In a few minutes, the dodge stopped before one of the magnificent mansions I had ever seen.


    It was way bigger and thrice the size of the mansion I used to call my home. The guards opened the door and we got inside.


    The butler led me towards the hall where I was to meet Mrs Wilson. I walked inside timidly, cautious of every step I put forward, looking around...the ce was a fortress.


    "Mrs Willson see you inside."


    The butter said, opening a wooden door for me, I thanked him and then headed inside.


    "d to see you safely arrive here, Ms Rutherford."


    Mrs Wilson muttered as I saw her,ing out of the balcony and inside the room.


    "Thanks for all the help, Mrs. Wilson."


    I thanked her in my most sincere voice. I really was grateful for the help she was offering me.


    "I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr. Harringtones to get you."

    "I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr Harringtones to get you."


    And thest thing I felt was a big hit on my head, clouding my vision to the darkness as I felt my body falling down, crashing on the floor.


    _______________________________________________


    Kian''s P.O.V


    I was walking back and forth in my office thinking about how to solve this impending crisis as I was losing time second by second.


    I had asked Madison to send me the contract between the Herrington and Rutherford and read it word by word.


    The contract was the sadist advantage taken by both the families through Tinsley as their scare goat.


    I could not even believe how could a father use his own daughter the way this old bastard did like a piece of a pawn in the game of chess.


    And I could note up to believe in what regards Tinsley epted to the terms and conditions of this contract.


    Was the girl blind or deaf??


    I was so so angry at her for giving away her future to be yed, toyed and ruined by a bunch of old bastards.


    But then Madison informed me that the contract was made when Tinsley was just right year''s of age and that made sense.


    What possibly an eight-year-old would know about freedom then??


    I felt for her at that moment...now I was aware of the life she had lived and why she was like how she was.


    She was grown up, bought up in that way, moulded to be obedient and submissive in her manner.


    It made sense then why she was so afraid of disobeying and feared to give her own opinion.


    I asked for mywyer to get here and exin to me in what terms this contract could be dered void and after hours of going through it, he gave up.


    The contract was made in a way that there was no way out. And we all got into thinking deep.


    I had asked Madison to cancel all my meetings and appointments for the day. I needed to find a way out of it before Josh imed the help ofw in taking Tinsley away with him and I would not be able to do a thing because he would have thew by his side.


    At one point, I thought of taking it to the court, showing how he mistreated Tinsley, the abuse he imposed on her, capturing her by force but then her scars had healed by now so there would not be any evidence to back up our trial.


    I even ordered Madison to call all the guests from that party who could stand in the court as a witness against Josh of how he himself dered to break the contract off.


    But then none of them was avable and the servants serving at the party were all loyal to Herrington...no matter how much I bribed them, they would not open their mouth.


    The guests were just out of hand. Unfortunately, they were all that bastard''s friends or family members who would not voice out against him.


    The rest famous persona that attended were out of the country who could have acted in support of us but it was toote to reach out to them and exin the situation to them.


    I urged mywyer to keep looking for a way out. I needed to protect Tinsley by hook and crook from that man.


    I had seen her what had happened after what he did to her. It was the hardest to watch her suffer silently all by herself before opening up to me.


    I had seen her face turning pale, dying out in my arms as I rescued her from the pool that night.


    I did not want to head back to those moments again. I never ever wanted her to see in that state again...not in this lifetime.


    Knowing my aunt, she would do anything to get her hands upon Tinsley and help Josh, the way she promised him to. She never backed away from her promise and so will I.


    I had vowed to protect and take care of her after that pool incident, and I shall abide by it till I was alive.


    It was then my cell ringed and Madison thrashed inside my office, handing me the phone with a horrified face.


    "Sir...sir I have bad news. "


    It was Carlos and immediately my mind went to Tinsley. Did something happen to her?? Did she try to harm herself??


    I knew that I was rude to her...did not exin to her why I got angry. I got angry only because she chose to believe my aunt over me when she imed that she would never ever doubt me.


    And then when I tried to talk to her, apologies to her, she acted like a whiny brat and denied it when I was only trying to be nice to her.


    But now I regret all of it. For bringing my ego before her...not trying harder to make her listen to me. I just hoped that she was fine and everything was alright.


    "What is it, Carlos??"


    I asked, wishing internally that the bad news was not about Tinsley...not about her at all.


    "Ms Rutherford had escaped the condo with the help of someone. A blue dodge took her away and we tracked her down..."


    "What the hell?? What were the guards doing huh??"


    I sted out, interrupting Carlos in anger and frustration. She escaped!!!


    Goddamnit, it!!!


    "But sir...we tracked her down..."


    "To where??"


    I was harsh in my voice, it roared in the office room and I did not give one fuck about it if I was disturbing the decorum of my own workce.


    "To Mrs Wilson''s mansion, sir."


    He replied, blowing my mind off as I did not know how to react to that.


    How was I going to get her back before she handed Tinsley to that scumbag??

    SEASON 2...


    _______________________________________________


    I was sitting with knees on my chest, heads bowing down.


    I had looked around the room and it was very manly and dark.


    There was a king-sized bed where I was sitting at the moment, a very big wall-sized television in the front.


    The walls were painted in grey, the covers were white and ck, a walk-in closet to the right, a big bathroom attached to it.


    I had been there just a few minutes ago and got reminded of my own walk-in closet.


    Except it was duller and less vibrant than my wardrobe and it was obvious since it was a man''s closet.


    All the shirts, pants, were stacked in colour code, the coats of only ck and blue colours mostly hung on the next stage.


    The ties, watches, socks were assigned in a drawer for each of them. I had opened each one of them, running my hands over it.


    The shoes were almost the same except for the sports shoes of all the expensive brands and mostly coloured white.


    ck and white was the theme of the entire closet and I did not expect it to be any different as it was a man''s closet after all.


    Reaching the end of the closet, I opened the door to the bathroom and it was huge.


    The circr white ceramic bathtub was very big to fit in two people easily, even after that it had plenty of space left out. It was deep too.


    The dressing table was a big one with mirrors attached to the wall in every direction.


    There was a showering chamber with foggy ss walls. It gave out to the view outside, making the bathing experience pleasant.


    I had spent a more than few minutes, exploring the bathroom. Even stepping inside the tub with no water in it and resting there for a while in my white dress.


    Closing my eyes resting on it, made my head calm and peaceful. I hoped of seeing things but I did not see any.


    Instead, all I saw was white, bright whiteness, the entire moment I kept my eyes closed.


    When I felt like I had spent enough time in the bathroom, I got out of it and was greeted by a change in the closet area.


    Half of the space was made empty when just a while ago, it had his clothes put on it.


    I knew what it meant. Nobody had to tell me why it was done. It was done to amodate my clothes in it and I was notining, only thinking where would I get that many clothes from to fill up the ce?


    As I heard a few rustling noises in the background, as if someone wasing towards the room, I immediately stepped forward and sat on the bed, knees pressed to my chest.


    The door hung open and in there came five maids, pulling a trolley of clothes, all designed as I could tell them to be.


    They bowed before me and I returned the gesture before they made their way inside the walk-in closet where I was a while before, exploring and started arranging all the dresses that they had bought in with them.


    A few of them arrived with the shoes, heels, jewellery, a full vertical mirror and started arranging it inside the closet as I watched them doing all the chores right before my eyes.


    It took them a little more than half an hour before they werepletely done. The head maid analysed the work once done and dismissed all her staff once she was satisfied.


    I had never in my life seen how a wardrobe was designed and arranged as I would always be out doing useless stuff whenever it was time for my wardrobe renewal back in my home in the past.


    "All set ma''am. Do you like it or want it to be changed?? I know the staff could have done it better but with the stipted time, the boss had given us....we could only manage this much."


    The woman walked up to the bed and said, a smile stered on her face.


    I did not know what to say more so I just nodded my head in approval and it was her cue to dismiss herself out of the room, closing the door, leaving me again all alone by myself ever since I had arrived here.


    After being seated in the same pose for a while, I decided toy my tired self on the soft mattress to rest.


    It had been days of agony and it would not wear off of my body in just one night of rest after all that mental and physical tormentation I went through.


    I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep on a man''s bed for the very first time in my life and to put it more precisely on my new husband''s bed.


    When I felt a little sleepy and my mind was only half awake, I felt someone touching me by my shoulder and I jerked up, afraid of who it might be.


    Thankfully, it was a young girl, dressed in the maid''s uniform, the blue and white one every household staff wore around here.


    "Sorry to disturb your sleep, Madam. "


    I rubbed my eyes, letting her know that it was fine and sat up leaning on the headboard of the king-sized bed.


    She eyed me from head to toe, a bit taken aback by the fact that I was still wearing the white dress since my wedding and had not changed to somethingfortable.


    "Hmm...the boss had requested your presence downstairs in the living room. There are a few guests he wants you to be acquainted with from his family."


    She said, making me internally think if it was already time for me to meet his family considering we did not meet in the most right circumstances.


    "If you want, I could ask the boss to give you a little bit more time to get fresh??"


    She offered, politely, might be seeing how my entire stature got in alert mode.


    Perhaps it was too obvious in my facial expression that even a person that met me just now could tell how my facial aura transformed to an ufortable one within the sh of a second.


    Regardless of that, I shook my head in negative. I did not want him, my new husband to be displeased with me in any way...at least not on our very first day as husband and wife.


    I did not want to be seen as ipetent,zy and not grateful for how much in debt I was to all his favours.


    "I will go right now. I m not tired. "


    I told her, getting off the bed. She smiled at me and then looked down at my dress. It had formed lines of the crease on the fabric as I had slept and sat wearing it for more than two hours now.


    "Before you go out, do you mind me if I quickly fix those for you, madam?"


    She offered with a smile and I could not be more thankful for it. I nodded my head in positive.


    She asked me to walk up to the closet and there she could fix everything for me.


    I obliged and as I stood before the newly installed vertical full body mirror a while ago, she bent down to fix the creases on my dress one by one.


    I continued to stare at my reflection as she moved around me, straightening the lines, smiling back at me while doing it.


    "I have straightened the creases of so many dresses, madam. Do not worry it will look as if you were notying on it just a while ago."


    She told me, working upon the dress very skilfully. I returned the smile, believing that she would be able to measure up her work to her words.


    Once done, she raised herself up to fix my hairs which was tied in a messy bun, with hairsing out of it from everywhere.


    "Do you mind walking down with open hair?? It might take a more than few minutes to fix it and the guests are right outside...??"


    I understood what she was telling so I agreed with her idea to go down with open hairs...it was better than looking like having a bird''s nest on my head.


    "You look beautiful now, madam. All set ready to go."


    "Thank you...???"


    "Marry. It''s my name, madam."


    Thank you, Marry."


    I really did appreciate her concern for my looks. She blushed and bowed her head down.


    Walking to the end of the corridor and reaching the edge of the starting of the staircase, I took a deep breath as I could see some familiar faces, talking to my new husband, his back facing me, not aware of my presence yet.


    When it was the right time, I stepped forward, descending the stairs very slowly, taking my sweet time.


    On reaching the end of the staircase, I stopped, letting them know I was here. My new husband turned around and smiled at me.


    "Meet my wife..."

    3 DAYS AGO


    "d to see you safely arrive here, Ms Rutherford."


    Mrs Wilson muttered as I saw her,ing out of the balcony and inside the room.


    "Thanks for all the help, Mrs. Wilson."


    I thanked her in my most sincere voice. I really was grateful for the help she was offering me.


    "I should thank you instead of for willingly stepping inside as my prisoner till Mr Harringtones to get you."


    And thest thing I felt was a big hit on my head, clouding my vision to the darkness as I felt my body falling down, crashing on the floor.


    _______________________________________________


    A big headache apanied my senses back to life as I groaned in pain, rolling my body to and fro.


    I could not move freely. I could feel some kind of restraints on both my hands and legs, my back was aching from lying somewhere it was notfortable.


    Neither could I scream out as my voices came out in bits and pieces, crying out loud for help was not possible when I could feel a cloth tied around my mouth...I was hardly breathing.


    "Ahhh....hmmm...ughhh...aghhhhh..."


    Those were the only kind of sound I could make. My eyelids were still closed, still a shortage of energy to open them and see where I was.


    My mouth felt so dry. I was thirsty and needed water to drink but how could I call out and ask for it...neither could I move myself up to look out for anything.


    My heavy breathing echoed in the room, as I tried to gulp my own saliva down my desertified throat.


    Sweat beads dancing on my forehead. It was so hot and I could feel myself losing my consciousness back to emptiness.


    I tried very hard to keep it intact as I did not want to lie in here...where I had no idea yet for another how long I did not know either.


    =========================================


    "One more?"


    He asked, his lips still pasted on her, squeezing her flesh on her rear side as she was pulling his hairs.


    "Just this one..."


    "Yeah..sure."


    He nodded to whatever she said, not giving many heads as only he could feel that moment was her lips onto his.


    Before he could press in for more, she pushed him away,ughing at the distorted and disappointed face he was making.


    "You are going to bete for work."


    She reminded him, standing up, straightening her shirt, he made a mess of. It was his shirt, to begin with anyway.


    He groaned in annoyance as she was obviously right.


    =========================================


    I saw him going away...walking far from me as I kept looking at him.


    My mind kept screaming to stop him, not let him go...my legs wanted to run on their own and hug his back to my front before he was out of sight.


    On reaching the threshold of the door, he turned to look back at me, gave me a nice smile and then everything was white.


    I tried to run after him but I could not move my body...I tried to call out for him but my voice was not audible even to myself.


    "Ahhh...hmmm...Ughhh..."


    I struggled...struggled with all my might to get my free and run after him...tears spurted out of my closed eyes and before I knew...the darkness loomed over me once again.


    _______________________________________________


    When I could open my eyes, as I could see someone in bits and pieces...I willed internally to open my eyelids more.


    "Finally she is awake. About time you rise up Ms Rutherford."


    I could recognise that voice. It wasing from afar. The bright rays of sunlight blinded my vision as I had to close my eyes as soon as I opened them.


    "Give her some water. Do not untie her."


    I heard some ruffling and rustling noises and when I opened my eyes, I saw the she-devil in bones and flesh making me cry out in anguish and deep anger.


    I tried to move free, break out from these chains she had tied my body with. I red at her as she eyed me amusingly, liking my state of helplessness.


    I should have never believed a wording out of that mouth. But as usual, I tended to realise thingstely always when it was either a dead or alive situation.


    "Struggling will only weaken your weak body more. Drink the water and quench your thirst as nobody wille to feed you again for another forty-eight-hour."


    She said in her authoritative voice and that made me stop moving altogether when I saw a tray of food being bought to my face.


    The workers...there was three of them. One untied the cloth around my mouth and bought the ss of water near my mouth.


    I ignored all the voices inside my head asking to resist but my body needed it...needed the food and water that was offered to me very badly.


    It was not the will of my mind or my heart anymore...my body itself was drowned to the nourishment being given to me.


    So I bought my mouth forward, one of the guards helped me sit up and I leaned myself on the hard concrete wall as the drops of water touched my lips, quenching my deep thirst.


    They helped me in eating and I could not control myself from gulping down everything they gave me with the speed of light.


    Gone were the days where I used to be so picky and choosy about what to eat and whatnot.


    Tables had turned and I had only one choice...to have what was offered to me. I hade to ept it...for the sake of survival.


    Once I was fed, they let me drink onest time and I had drunk everyst drop of water from the bottle, emptying it.


    Throughout the entire time, she was eyeing my every move like a hawk and I could not do a thing about it.


    "That''s enough. Tie her up."


    She ordered and before the man coulde and enclose my mouth again, I spoke up.


    "No...no no!!! Stop!! I will not make sounds...I will not try to escape...please stop!!!"


    I screamed out. My body getting new energy from the food I just had.


    Valeria stopped in her tracks and signalled her man to stop too. I was grateful for it only for a while.


    "You have nowhere to escape either. You yourself know you can''t until your rightful man, Josh Herringtones to get you."


    "Just kill me if you are going to hand me to him at the end."


    I said after listening to what she had nned for me. Tears rolled down my dampened cheeks.


    "That I will leave for Mr Harrington to decide. What he wants to do to you."


    She replied, not getting affected by my pitty self...not even once.


    "Why??"


    I could only ask that. If I was going to be held my tormentor at the end, I deserved to know why she turned her back at me...why did she deceive me into believing her??


    "What do you mean, why?"


    "Why?? Why lie to me when you proposed to help me??"


    "That was the only way, I could get you toe to me. And being a fool as you always were, you thought I will help you???"


    She halted for a moment...stopped speaking and turned her back on me. I did not get my answers yet.


    "I promised you...promised you that I will never return...then why did you deceive me??"


    I was breathing heavily when I asked it out loud. She did not reply right away and kept her mouth shut, facing her back at me.


    "I did what you asked me to...I blindly believed you...I crushed my heart into pieces to give you my promise....then WHY!!!! WHY!!!!"


    I screamed my guts out at the end. I did not know why I did that but it was the anger of betrayal that was rising up my body slowly a d slowly. It did that.


    "Because my goddamned nephew woulde back to look out for you. "


    Her reply took me off guards. She strode forward violently, outrage in her eyes as she leaned down toe face to face with me.


    Our eyes stared deep into each other. I did not let my fear be shown to her. I could not let her see that with passing time, with every passing minute and second, I was losing hope for escaping myself.


    "You...you witch!!! You wrapped him in your spell pretty good that he got the guts to argue and oppose me???"


    Shended a tight p on my right cheek making me fall to the other side. She held my hairs in a tight grasp, making me look up at her.


    "No one takes him away from me!!"


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 53 - NEGATIVE TO ZERO!!!

    "You...you witch!!! You wrapped him in your spell pretty good that he got the guts to argue and oppose me???"


    Shended a tight p on my right cheek making me fall to the other side. She held my hairs in a tight grasp, making me look up at her.


    "No one...no one can take him away from me!!"


    Her anger, her violence all went to my deaf ears as my eyes could now see her fear, her being afraid.


    My ears could not believe it when she said that Kian fought for me. He agrued with his own aunt to fight for me.


    And here I was dying foolishly out of a silly misunderstanding, crying cats and dogs in my heart.


    That made me cry andugh out loud at the same time in happiness and sadness.


    A tight pull on my hairs only bought my attention back to the present as my gaze reverted back to an angry-looking Valeria Wilson, watching me strangely as if I had gone crazy.


    "Have you gone crazy??"


    She asked, shaking my body vigorously and I could not feel the pain anymore as the happiness of the news that Kian Wilson still cared about me had overtaken every being of my body...my nerves.


    "Tie this bitch up. She had obviously gone nuts. "


    Valeria ordered her man as she pushed me away like a bag of cotton. I could onlyugh at her at that moment.


    "You are afraid that he wille back for me??? Don''t you??"


    I asked her quickly before the man could tie the cloth around my mouth.


    "Stop fucking talking, you psychic bitch!!"


    "It will not be long before hees to get me and knows how evil his aunt is."


    I cried the words out and crawled backwards when the man came with the cloth to tie me up.


    Not long before, Valeria came rushing and kicked me on my abdomen making me cough out blood, falling on the concrete ground.


    "Not before I tell him that you killed his beloved mother. "


    She whispered it near my ears, making me froze in my state. She was going to bad mouth him about me once again.


    "And that is the only reason why I resent you so much."


    That was thest of our conversation and they walked out of the four, leaving me in the empty dark dungeon, with tons of unanswered questions.


    =========================================


    "What did you just say??"


    "What??? Blown out because I know the truth?? "


    My eyes spurted hot waters out of them as I spoke out, with so much pain and agony.


    "That all this while when I thought you were the right one but you turned out just like all of them...keeping me as the mistress hidden."


    "Exin to me everything you heard."


    He asked me sternly as if he had no idea about what on earth I was blurting out. It only made me so mad at him even though the tears were freely falling out of my damp red eyes.


    "What do I need to exin to you, Kian fucking Wilson??? The master of deceiving someone!!!"


    "Do not talk to me like that. And I have never deceived anyone."


    He was getting irritated by my behaviour. He was never used to someone talking to him like that. I presumed.


    "Oh right?? That is why you keep the truth away from me that you are promised to someone while you kiss me to death like your bloody fucking mistress."


    I spat out every word out, making Kian taken aback. I wanted tosh my all anger, craziness...all on him and hurt him with the same amount of pain he had hurt me with.


    "You bloody bastard!!! Even Josh was better off than you not trying to make me his mistress..."


    And that got him in his nerves because he eyed me so dangerously that if I had not been so angry I was, I would have ran away from him and hid under some corner.


    "Shut the fuck up."


    He roared, stopping me midway, making me jerk back in shock of his sudden outburst.


    "Why??? Because the truth is out??"


    I for once in my life decided to brave up and face an argument without backing down at all, not crawling away to the dark corner in fear.


    "Because I know your true face now??"


    Kian kicked the chair off between them and strode forward, holding me by my bony shoulder.


    "You stop using my and that scumbag''s name in the same line for God''s sake or else..."


    He shouted out on my face, eyes trained upon mines.


    "....or else?? Else what?? You will tie me up here and beat me just like him??"


    "Shut up, you fucking brat....shut that mouth up before I do something for Christ''s sake!!!"


    I was shaking from inside but decided to carry on with my brave self and whispered out. I had never seen him this angry ever. I had always faced his soft side.


    "What if I not??"


    He did not say a word, maintained a stronghold on my shoulders, digging his fingers on my exposed skin, imprinting his finger marks on them.


    "That is only left for you to do because you are no better than him..."


    I vehemently let out, leaning my face closer to his. And before he would end up doing something, he would regret, he pushed me away. I could see it in his eyes.


    I stumbled backwards, losing my bnce and fell down, knocking the ss off from the table and breaking it. The pieces of sses pierced inside my palm.


    "Goddamnit!!"


    =========================================


    I cried in my mind as my body shook with every deep sob that escaped out of my mouth, regretting every word and every second of that day.


    I had pushed him away from me myself. I had hurt him in a deep misunderstanding like a foolish jealous person I was.


    I had decided to put my beliefs on someone else other than him...the man who saved me when he owed me nothing at all.


    I had ruined us in the snap of my fingers unknowingly. I had given myself willingly to my captors choosing to run away from the only man I ever loved.


    And there was nothing more I could do now but to cry out in regret, repentance, wishing I could turn back to time and change everything.


    Change the day when I ever decided to mistrust him...the only person that had even been selfless for me.


    Change my decision to stop looking out for me when they said he had gone...left me to die in the wrath of my own parents.


    Change the urge to keep me from him when I could have been with him all this time only if I had run away with him...not giving a damn about this world.


    And the time hade where even after helping me...he could not recall us. Time had cruelly taken all the memories we created by us from him.


    It was time who was ying mischievously with us over and over again.


    I wonder when it would allow Kian toe looking out for me and take me away from here with him.


    But there was a fear...a fear that he would give in to Valeria''s cruel words about him.


    What if he chose to believe them just like I chose to believe her over him??


    What if he despised me after that??


    What if Josh get here before him??


    What if he was toote and I could never see him ever??


    Thousand of disturbing questions poked my mind and chest, making me squirm and cry put in anguish and pain.


    Oh!! What had I done!?! I could only cry over and over....my heavy sobs vibrating out through my body.


    I could listen to her threat against me. I wanted to scream it to her face that I had not killed Kian''s mother.


    Hell!! I had not even dared to kill a mosquito in my life.


    Thinking about Kian''s mother...shes of the young woman''s face came to my mind.


    I could see her in my mind and match the resemnce between her and Kian.


    ''Natalie Randall''


    The name echoed in my mind. I knew her. She was the most lovingdy I had ever encountered in my life right after Anna Maria.


    I could recall the days when Kian would take me to his home in the servant quarters and his mom...Natalie would make us a cheese sandwich.


    I had seen how much he was attached to his mother...their bond was something I was jealous about back then, wishing my mother loved me like that.


    It was clear that if Valeria broke the news of I killing his mother, there was a good chance that I would never see him again as he would even be despised by my very name and to think ofing to rescue me??


    ....the possibility was negative to zero.

 Chapter 54 - DID YOU FIND A WAY OUT YET???

    "What is it, Carlos??"


    I asked, wishing internally that the bad news was not about Tinsley...not about her at all.


    "Ms Rutherford had escaped the condo with the help of someone. A blue dodge took her away and we tracked her down..."


    "What the hell?? What were the guards doing huh??"


    I sted out, interrupting Carlos in anger and frustration. She escaped!!!


    Goddamnit, it!!!


    "But sir...we tracked her down..."


    "To where??"


    I was harsh in my voice, it roared in the office room and I did not give one fuck about it if I was disturbing the decorum of my own workce.


    "To Mrs Wilson''s mansion, sir."


    He replied, blowing my mind off as I did not know how to react to that.


    How was I going to get her back before she handed Tinsley to that scumbag??


    _______________________________________________


    After that news, my body, mind and soul were both restless and I could not do a thing right away that burned me internally and externally.


    I had dismissed mywyer to find a way to breach the contract and then inform me about it as soon as possible.


    Meanwhile, I was pacing back and forth in my office all alone. I had no one to whom I could disclose the news and as if anybody would care.


    The thing was she had no one but me and I had failed her. It pained me every time I recall ourst encounter to be fighting with each other so bitterly rather than finding peace in each other''s arms.


    She must be so scared as naturally she was a scared kitten who needed protection...her innocence was something that the cruel world took advantage of.


    When my cell phone rang, I was quick to answer it without wasting a single time.


    "Carlos, did you see her??"


    There were noises from the other side and it was getting a bit uneasy to keep the phone intact on my ears.


    "No sir. We are standing by just outside Mrs Wilson''s mansion but nobody came out or went inside it yet. I presume Ms Rutherford is still in there with your aunt. "


    Carlos said. I had ordered my men to keep an eye on Valeria''s ce for if that bastard Josh made an entry, my men could take care of him before he could get closer to Tinsley.


    I vowed to protect her, to look after her and that that bastard could never ever get close to her so I was going to do everything in my ability to keep her away from even his shadow.


    "Good. Keep a close eye. I will inform you what to do nextter. Do not let that scumbag near the mansion in any way. "


    Imanded after hearing him out. Carlos gave a brief yes and that he and the five men would not allow Josh to be even near the road that led to the main gates.


    When the call was over, I turned to see a shocked faced Madison standing by the threshold of the door.


    She was not meant to hear this news and I had no idea whether she heard it all or just walked in when the call was over.


    "Did you..??"


    "I did. "


    Madison replied immediately, interrupting me. She let herself inside, closing the door behind her.


    "How did this happen??"


    She asked, walking up to where I was standing, eyeing me anxiously.


    I did not know how to exin her or where and why it led to that. How Tinsley got so desperate to seek help from my aunt rather than asking me first??


    The most astonishing fact was that this time she was seeking help from Valeria to escape not from Josh...but me.


    And the very thought caused a pang in my heart...an uneasy feeling that crawled deep within my chest and I could not get rid of it unless I had her here before me and she would have forgiven me for all that I argued with her.


    "We...we fought."


    I started, looking away from Madison and strode near the ss wall, gazing over the sky and the skyscrapers.


    "Then???"


    "I do not know what happened next but I found out that my own aunt was nning to hand her back to that doucebag."


    "Say what???"


    Madison gasped, not expecting at all to hear that. She was close to Valeria as close to me.


    Having been working for more than five years, she was quite familiar with Valeria and my entire family on her side.


    "How..how could Valeria do that?? And what did you guys fight about??"


    Madison fired me with her questions and I gave her a look that conveyed a clear message to her...one question at a time.


    "It does not matter what we fought about. What matters is that Valeria has her captive till Josh motherfucking Herringtones to get her and I could never let that happen now could Tinsley try to escape because Valeria has the tight security all around the ce..."


    I went on blurting when Madison got closer and patted me on my shoulder, trying to calm my nerves.


    "We can get her out of there before that bastard makes an entry."


    She suggested. Well, I was thinking the same too if she did not know.


    "But what after that?? They will take this the court and we cannot do a thing as per the contract. "


    I let out. That was the only thing eating me out all this time and I could not arrive at a n yet.


    It did not matter if even after freeing Tinsley from Valeria''s ce that Josh could stille after her.


    "Didn''t thewyer find out a way yet??"


    "Nope. Not yet. "


    "Well, eventually he will. Do not worry. But for now, did you think about how to approach your aunt without making her suspicious about that you know??"


    She implored. And that was something I had been thinking too all along.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 55 - I FOUND HER!!!

    I drove to Wilson''s main residency and saw my men standing by the ally. Carlos gave me a nod.


    Giving a quick nce, I entered inside the main gate and the watchman walked towards to park the car as I got out to get in the house.


    As usual, the butler led me in. I had my eyes everywhere, watching out for any clue that Tinsley might have left for me.


    I never bothered to look around the ce whenever I visited Valeria but this time I did.


    I grew up here and I had a clear knowledge of every nook and corner of the house.


    "To what do I owe your visit after walking away like a crazy person, threatening my guest??"


    I was bought out of my reverie when I heard her. I looked forward to seeing Valeria standing on thest stair.


    I knew how shrewd and clever person my aunt was. She always had the wits to know what a person might be thinking inside their heads.


    I had watched her things out like that. When I was a kid, I used to think she was a magician but wellter I came to know, she was a psychologist in the profession and then it made sense.


    So I tried to mask my anxious face as disturbing as possible to hide my real self and make her believe the one I was showing to get willingly.


    "Tinsley is not in the condo."


    I said, looking down, pretending as if I did not know she had kept Tinsley here forcefully.


    I wanted to see how she would react to the news. If she would show any kind of clues or she would act as if she had no idea or whatsoever.


    "My my!!! What did you just say??"


    I always knew my aunt was not a good person. She was kind to those who could benefit her and unkind to those who posed a threat to her.


    And today, I got to see that face of her. I never thought to judge her in any of her actions...wrong or right but this time, she had earned a score of less from me.


    "When did this happen??"


    She asked, walking up to me. If I had not known that it was her who held Tinsley against her will, looking at how she was behaving, I would have thought she had nothing to do with any of these.


    "I...uhh..got the news a while ago. "


    I replied, looking straight into her eyes trying to see if she would even flutter her eyes at least once while lying straight to my face. But no...she did not...not even once.


    "Did she leave any kind of clue??"


    "She took a few clothes and a bag."


    I said and moved to the side not being able to stand under the same roof as a lier...a good one at that. My own aunt!


    "Well then maybe...maybe she escaped, Kian. I always told you from the start, she was only there with you for help.."


    She spoke out after a moment of silence. I was so controlling myself fromshing out at her but handled my anger right inside me.


    It was how Madison and I had nned it to be. While I was keeping Valeria busy talking to me, I had Madison sneak out of the parked car in the garage, to enter the mansion through the back and look out for Tinsley.


    I specifically asked her to go down the attic. It only made sense that Valeria would keep Tinsley there.


    Madison did not need to get Tinsley but if she found her, at least she could deliver Tinsley a message that I was on my way to get her....that I wasing soon and to have faith before she decided to try something wrong.


    "No...she would never do that. Tell me if Josh got her and you know??"


    I was direct to ask her that and it was only at that moment, she flinched back a little. So finally!! I thought.


    She closed her eyes before opening them to answer to me.


    "Mr Harrington left after the punch you gave him. He was furious, yes but I would not know if he would go to that length to get a girl of no value to him."


    "Oh!! If she had been no value to him, he could have simply let her go but he cannot..."


    I bitterly asserted, ring at Valeria for poorly addressing Tinsley as if she had no value.


    Only those who knew her saw her up close would know how much special she was...how much pure and innocent her soul was.


    "The thing is if such thing would have been in my knowledge, I would never hide it from you, nephew."


    She borated, putting a hand on my bicep. I closed my eyes trying to calm my nerves down and not scream at her face.


    I nodded towards her and got out of her hold. I waited a few seconds to get any kind of message from Madison but when I did not, I knew that she must have not found anything.


    And I was ready to head out as per the n. Madison would not go any deeper as getting herself caught would make Tinsley''s position riskier.


    We decided that if in ten minutes timing, she could not find a thing, she would need toe back to the car and we would drive off.


    And it was of ten minutes already. So it was time to go. But then, I got a beep on my digital watch, it was a signal.


    That made me the most happiest ever I had been in the day. My back was facing Valeria and me was thankful as she could have seen the genuine smile on my face.


    ''I FOUND HER!!!''


    The message read and I could not stop the feeling is tion I was experiencing at that moment. Iposed myself and turned to face my aunt back.


    "Can I stay back for lunch here??"


    _______________________________________________


    PLS VOTE GUYS!!!!

 Chapter 56 - I FLINCHED BACK!!!!

    I waited outside the hall in the back corridor waiting for any sign of Madison.


    She did tell me that she found Tinsley in the backside as I predicted it in the office.


    I could only hope that Tinsley was fine and fed and in a good condition and that Madison would give her the news of meing to rescue her sooner.


    "I remember you ying around that garden all day. "


    I turned around to see Valeria standing


    with a smile on her face and two cups of coffee on her hand.


    She walked forward and handed me one cup of coffee. I smiled back sipping from the cup.


    "Your childhood filled my void of not having any children of my own."


    She said, looking down. I could rte that she was grieving and she always did for that fact in particr.


    Perhaps that was why she was so possesive about me. She was always afraid that I would turn to grow apart from her.


    And I always tried to reassure her that I was not going anywhere. Her constant need to control my life was annoying and irritating but I never let her have any objections against it.


    I never over crossed her in any situation whether she was right or wrong. I always took her side.


    I was grateful for what she did for me, raising me as her own. Taking me in when I turned an orphaned and had no one.


    I could recall a few days just after I heard the death of my mother in the orphanage, how cruel and heartless people were to make fun of that.


    How much lonely and clueless I felt at that point of my life. I had no one waiting for me and that could be scary for anyone.


    It was then Valeria who came to my rescue. Gave me shelter, food, clothing and the love of a parent.


    I would be always grateful to her for that. I could never repay her back of what she did to me.


    What she felt for me, I felt the same way for Tinsley. Knowing she had no one anymore, I could feel that.


    When I saw her at the party for the first time with the most beautiful smile I had everid my eyes upon and after the party, that smile was nowhere on her face...I had seen the devastated look on her that was so hurtful and aching to look at.


    It reminded me of myself and that was the pull I felt for her...to save her, give protection.


    I never knew that we would be connected in the past and I would warm up to her touch.


    It was strange at first and I tried to avoid it but then I realized that ignoring these feelings would cost me nothing but frustrations.


    So this time, if it meant to cross Valeria, it would only be because she gave me no choice in it.


    I did tell her that I would go to every and any length to ensure the protection and safety of Tinsley, be it giving up on my own life and freedom...that much I was duped into her.


    "You do know that I love you right?? Kian. And that everything I had done or will be doing is because of your safety and protection."


    Valeria implored, staring deep into my eyes. There was a moment of silence and I did not know how to reply to that.


    Maybe this time whatever she thought was doing right by me was not right at all. She thought it was but it was not.


    I just gave her a minimal nod and looked away. The conversation was getting awkward and I did not know why she was bringing such things up.


    "That''s all that matters that you know...Over with the talk. Let''s go and eat."


    She let out, pulling me inside. I followed her, giving onest nce at the backyard with no sign of Madison at all.


    _______________________________________________


    Madison''s P.O.V


    I sneaked out of the huge Wilson''s garage after the guard parked the car inside it.


    It was dark in here and made my way to the backside of the mansion. I knew my way around this ce quite well.


    I had visited it numerous times so I volunteered myself to look out for Tinsley...wherever they had held her captive.


    Once inside, the guards were quite fewer. Valeria did not like them inside. A few maids and staff working but not all together. So most of the spaces were empty giving me a chance to walk around smoothly.


    I was dressed in the disguise of a maid so walking around was not difficult. I followed Kian''s direction and climbed downstairs to the basement.


    He told me that it was the most secretive ce of the entire mansion. Often he would sneak here whenever he wanted to avoid the outside world.


    So no wonder that would be the ce where Valeria would also keep someone out of the touch of the outside world.


    And when I reached the bottom, I prayed for no guards to be around and luckily there was none.


    Perhaps Valeria had a very tight guarding system in the boundary so she did not think of keeping it inside. It made sense, there was no way out without being caught.


    There were several rooms and I walked inside each one of them. They were all dark and seemed like nobody came down to check inside very often.


    Lots of wooden boxes, old antique staff were stuffed in. Selling those pieces would give millions in the market.


    At one point I thought maybe she had not kept Tinsley here as I had checked in almost all of the rooms and thest two were only left.


    I was having difficulty in breathing as there was no venttion system down here, no window or open space.


    I came down to thest room and prayed that this was it. And as if God had heard my prayer...when the door opened, the sight before me made me flinch back.

 Chapter 57 - THE MISSION HAS STARTED!!!

    "Tinsley??"


    I rushed inside and sat down before the shattered figureying on the dirty floor, chained to the dark wall.


    She was not in her senses, I could tell. I raised her frontal up and shook her slowly.


    Parting the messy red hairs to have a clear look on her face, broke my heart.


    There were cuts, purple-ck bruises. Although it did not look too deep and in the process of healing but still it did not suit on a once upon a time Princess.


    "Tinsley??? Wake up...look it''s me, Madi."


    "Let...me...gg....go.."


    That was all I heard and it was only a faint whisper. Her eyes were still closed and her body was beaten...it was very obvious.


    I cupped her face in between my palms and tried to get her eyes open and look at me.


    "Just open your eyes...Tinsley...Kian, he is here...for you..."


    And that name alone was enough for me to get her attention. She opened her eyes up quickly.


    A strand of tear came flowing out of her eyes and it had the same effect on me. It was at that moment that I regretted every time I had bad-mouthed her and forced her to leave the house.


    If only if, I had not done that...she would not have felt to get out of there and this...everything that had happened to her ever since they would never have had happened to her.


    Somewhere I felt...it was my fault all along. My ego...my jealousy had be her cause of more pain and misery if that was not enough from before.


    "Kian??? He...he is here??"


    She asked with a dreamy look on her and that made me smile back at her. It was all to clear for that she loved that man.


    "Yes...he is here...and he sent me here to look out for you and give you his message that he wille to get you tonight so do not worry and keep hope."


    I tried my best to exin to her. Although her mind and senses were too faded to understand anything.


    "Kian....he is here..."


    That was all she kept saying, crying and smiling at the same time. I pulled her in got a hug and rubbed her back as she cried her eyes out.


    "I...I m sorry...for everything I...I ever said to him. Is he still angry at me??"


    She asked and I raised her face up so that she could look right into my eyes when I reply to her.


    "He...was so worried about you. He likes you very much, Tinsley."


    And I meant it. He indeed liked her or else which man would go to this length of crossing the only woman who he had worshipped all his life.


    "I...I m sorry."


    "And I m sorry too for everything I ever did to you. I regret it all."


    I said. I wanted her to forgive me...I wanted to earn it from her.


    My granny was right that she was really the missing sister I never had. Only if I had left off my ego at the shore, we could have been sisters way long before.


    I pulled her in for another hug mumbling that this would be thest time she would have to face anything like that.


    Once everything was alright and I had sent Kian a message that I wasing up, I walked out of there.


    I had asked her to keep quiet and not tell anyone about the n nor even give a hint about it.


    She nodded her head furiously understanding it. I told her to keep hope and be ready as I bid my farewell to her.


    When I climbed up, I decided to enclose the news of finding Tinsley to my grandmother too.


    Once everything of this was over, I would let them both meet. I was sure that my granny then could sleep peacefully.


    I was willing to correct all my wrongs with Tinsley and bring her back to stay with us like a family.


    As I made my way towards the garage, I saw a few guards and the same one who drove Kian''s Mercedes to park here.


    Perhaps he was here to drive the car back to the front yard? Kian must have thought I had hoped inside the car already but I did not.


    I hid behind the red Rolls Royce, by the side of our car. The guard was talking on his phone and I needed to get inside before he drove away.


    I thought of any kind of distraction that would make him move away from the car giving me enough time to get inside.


    I decided to the one thing I thought I would never do. I searched for any stone nearby but there was none.


    I knew executing this n would bring attention in but I needed to do it to buy myself time and get inside the car.


    So I thought of kicking in any of the cars and that would make noises making him look around, moving away from my car.


    Without giving much thought as with every passing second, time was drifting off from my hand.


    So I managed to give one hard kick and all the cars started honking simultaneously.


    He broke out from his phone call and walked away looking out. I was quick on my feet to get inside the car.


    It was not long before, a few guards came in to check and another one of them drove Kian''s car to the frontier.


    I breathed in relief once Kian was in. We exchanged our position as I got on the driver''s seat and dropped him off in the garden nearby.


    He would stay back to get Tinsley in the nighttime. I gave him the look where he knew everything was fine.


    I had already given him the information where she was kept throughout the digital watch.


    As I drove out of the mansion, I looked at Carlos and his men waiting at the end of the ally, letting them know the mission has started.

 Chapter 58 - GOD ONLY KNEW...

    It was eight in the evening and I have been hiding under one of the cars in the garage.


    I could not go just yet as the staff must be all inside preparing dinner for Valeria.


    I nned to enter when all were out and the halls were empty making it easy for me to take Tinsley out easily as my men would create amotion in the front gates drawing attention there while we sneaked out through the walls at the back.


    Carlos would be waiting there with my car and hospital kit as Madison informed me that her condition was not too good.


    Even thinking about it right then itched my skin, not wanting to look back at her in the same state again as I rescued her. I was not ready to face her like that once again but I had to for both of our sakes.


    When I heard people walking and talking out of the mansion, I very slowly crawled towards the edge of the garage to see if they were the staff and they were.


    It only meant that my aunt had fallen asleep by now and that the entire mansion was empty and void of anyone. Valeria did not like anyone to reside inside in the nights. Only the guards waited outside guarding the front and back gates.


    I took a deep breath and sneaked out of the garage, keeping a straight eye on the guards walking on the grounds.


    I made my way inside and got in making the most negligible noise in opening the hard wooden door.


    I closed it behind me very carefully and then started walking downstairs towards the basement.


    I was d that Madison had figured out the entire route in that short amount of time making it cool for me, having not to waste time in searching for the location.


    As I reached the basement, it was night dark down here and I could only wonder how Tinsley was surviving in it.


    I switched on the light of my mobile phone and strode towards thest room as stated by Madison.


    After getting Tinsley, I knew I would have only a few minutes for us to get out of there as the guards woulde in to check the insides routinely.


    I had lived here as a boy and I knew how the system worked so I was well aware of it all.


    I thought the door would be locked but it was not and I was thankful about it as I opened it and looked around in search of Tinsley.


    On moving inside and searching for the entire room and not finding her, even her single hair made me go crazy...for a second I thought what if Josh got her???


    I was on the verge of ruining everything, screaming my guts out in frustration.


    Where did she go???


    Did they take her already??


    Or what if she escaped???


    While I was busy pondering which question to answer, I heard the guards walking sounds and I hurriedly went ahead and closed the door so that they would not get suspicious.


    I heard them walking around, knocking inside every room, talking to themselves.


    I only wanted them to be out as soon as possible so that I could look for somewhere else.


    It was then I heard a fibble whimpers and ttering noises of chains. It drew my attention and pasted my ear to the door to listen more of it.


    "Still trying to escape??? "


    "That hopeless bitch!!! Never understands."


    "I heard that the man woulde to take her in the morning."


    And that conversation exchanged between the guards confirmed that Tinsley was indeed here and they had changed her position.


    The news warmed my heart knowing she was here and waited impatiently for the guards to walk out sooner so that I could go to her.


    And when they were out, I was quick on my feet opening every door and getting inside to find her.


    There were in total 10partments and only one was left. I knew she was in there, she had to be there.


    I opened the door without making any noise and the sight before me broke my heart to bits and pieces.


    I could not wait any longer as I strode towards her and got down to embrace her sulken self.


    Her hands were tied to the chains attached to the wall, her ankles were chained too, her mouth was enclosed with a piece of cloth, her hairs all over the face, blocking my view.


    "Tinsley...."


    I whispered her name as I squeezed her in my arms. Hearing my voice, her tensed body eased in my embrace.


    "Kian???"


    For the first time in my life, I bet I had my eyes watering listening to my name from her mouth so painfully.


    I drew apart from her and slid her hairs to the back, making her face clear for my naked eyes to drink in.


    Her cheeks were wet and covered with bruises, her eyes staring into mine, minor cuts on the corner of her lips.


    Before I could say anything, I first tore open the piece of cloth partially blocking her mouth.


    And it did not take much time before her lipsnded on mine and I was so happy to feel her again.


    Her kiss told me how much she missed me, how much she longed for me in these empty dreadedpartments, chained to the wall.


    "I m here now...do not worry!!"


    I told her, rubbing her tears away. Her lips were shaking as if wanting to tell me so much more but were not being able to form words.


    "We will talk after we get out of here ok??"


    I said and she nodded understand me. I got to work to unclip the chairs from around her both wrists and ankles.


    It took me time to break her free from them but when I did, it had marks around her skin and it looked so aching.


    Her pale white skin had turned red and tender. I wanted to touch it but I knew better than to actually do it. God only knew how much she was in pain.

 Chapter 59 - I WILL CATCH YOU!!!

    I tried to get her up but she must have felt weak on her knees and was about to fall down but I held her back, snaking my arms around her abdomen and she hissed in pain.


    "Did I hurt you??"


    I asked, looking concerned. She shook her head mildly.


    "Val...Valeria kicked me there."


    She said, looking down, embarrassed at herself for not being able to protect herself.


    But it drove me with rage towards my aunt, thinking why would she do that?? What did Tinsley even do to her??


    "Can I hold here then??"


    I implored touching her waist softly. She nodded her head and I held her tightly there as we made out of there without wasting any more time.


    Her steps were small and slow so in the midway without confronting her, I picked her up. She gasped in surprise, not expecting that at all.


    "Do not worry, I will not let you fall. I have done this before."


    I confirmed to her if she was having any doubts and walked out of the basement.


    Thankfully there were no guards in the hallway and neither in the passage out of it.


    But I had to bow down as soon as we reached the backyard. Guards were walking around.


    She looked at me with eyes asking what were we going to do and how were we going past it.


    I sent a message through my phone to Carlos, to start the act, making Tinsley sit on myp for a while as we hid under the bushes.


    "Do not stress. I came nned."


    I said and pecked her lips, waiting for them to get in the action as we both looked at each other.


    Then in the darkness of the night with the faint lighting of themps, we heard a noise...amotion.


    It was my men in the front. Guards from the back ran there, freeing the space for us to move ahead.


    "Come... it''s time."


    I said and picked her up again. She did not protest and gotfortable in my arms as I strode towards the edge of the wall.


    It was this part that I had not thought about at all. The walls were high and I could jump off but then Tinsley...


    The hell I did not think about it at all. It must have slipped from my mind. What were we going to do now??? Plus it had to be quick too.


    "I did not think this through."


    I told her, still in my arms. She did not say anything and remained still in my arms.


    "Maybe I could run with you in my arms through the gates??"


    I offered and she immediately shook her head in a no.


    "What??? You think I cannot run fast??"


    I asked mockingly and she shook her head in a no again.


    "Even after all this?? Do you doubt my stamina?? You deeply wound me, Tinsley Rutherford!!"


    I joked trying to lighten up her frozen mind and I could see a faint curve of her delicious lips.


    Only her, Tinsley Rutherford, could smile in the hardest of time. Her innocence was the most pleasant gift I was blessed to have sight of.


    "I...I have a n."


    "Oh, now you do??"


    I joked and she squirmed in my arm like a butterfly signalling me to let her off. I obliged, making her stand on her feet, leaning on my body.


    "You can help me climb up and then we can jump together."


    She proposed, making me narrow her eyes at her. She was barely standing on her own and rmending to let her jump.


    "I had jumped off through the window from the first floor. I m not afraid, Kian."


    She pressed and I knew that she did that. It only proved that how brave and strong she was but I could risk her life on trying to escape.


    "I did not break my bones either."


    "You are barely standing."


    I pointed that out to her. She huffed and then again looked at me as if I did not understood what she was actually trying to say.


    And then it rang me, she was asking for me to help her climb up. I could not help but smile at her naive ns.


    "You sure you will be able to climb up me??"


    I questioned and her palms touched my right cheek assuring that she could.


    "You are not that tall when you are on your knees."


    She said and I pecked her cute nose, getting down on my knees and hands. It gave me a naughty idea but I kept it to myself.


    "I will get you on your knees soon, one day."


    I whispered and she leaned on my back as she got up. I tried to remain still, not wanting to make her fall and make a mess.


    "You do not remember but we have done this so many times. "


    She murmured and like a sh, a faint shadow of one boy and girl reflected in the back of my mind.


    The boy was on his knees and the girl was getting on top of his back, her giggles in the air. The entire scenario was not clear. It was shadowy, ckish and purple.


    "Stay still, Kian!!"


    "Sorry!!"


    I mouthed as I was lost in there for a second and unknowingly was moving a little.


    Tinsley got up and sat upon the edge of the wall. I stood up on my feet and took the help of the brick as I climbed up and joined her there.


    "You ok??"


    I asked, patting her head. She nodded, looking at me. We both could see the guards and my men gathered in the front gate.


    "I will jump now. I will catch you then, ok??"


    "Ok!!"


    She said, looking down. The ground was not that deep but it was too hurt you if you were not careful.


    "I will be fine."


    I said as I could see in her eyes, worrying about me. It only warmed my heart more for her.

 Chapter 60 - YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!

    I jumped down andnded on my feet. I had taken long jumping sses when I was in boarding school. I had learned many things there which were not taught in the regr schools.


    Tinsley noticed mending safely. I signalled that it was her time then. She did not waste much time and stood upon the narrow space of the wall, getting ready to jump on me.


    "Do not be afraid to fall on me...I will catch you!!"


    _______________________________________________


    He said.


    What he had not known was that I had already fallen for him deep from the cliff...still falling down, waiting that someday he would catch me...someday...


    I hopped down and my body felt lightweight only for a brief second before Kian held me in his arms, losing his bnce and falling down on the ground with me on top of him.


    "You are fine??? Not hurt??"


    He asked as he helped me to get up right away. I shook my head in negative letting him know that I was alright.


    Soon enough a white Range Rover stopped before us. Carlos got out and bowed before Kian and me.


    "Sir. Ma''am. I hope you both are fine."


    He said. I nodded, leaning on Kian as he rubbed my back, warming my body.


    "You have all the things as I asked?"


    Kian asked. Carlos replied with a brief '' yes sir''.


    And then we got inside. On Kian''s order, Carlos started the engine and we both saw Kian''s men too moving away from the front gate as we hit on the main road.


    Kian pressed a button closing the ss partition between the passenger and driverpartment.


    I looked at his way, not getting why he did that. He opened one of the drawers before him and took out the first aid kit box.


    "Scoot closer and open your top."


    He said. I had no problem moving closer to him but I was a bit hesitant about the next part where I had to open my top.


    I knew that I was not innocent anymore for I had lost my virtue to a stranger in that unfortunate drunken night.


    I thought of protesting but then he was only trying to attend to my wounds so I gave in even though a hundred and one questions sailed in my mind.


    I pulled the worn-out cktop off my head, revealing my naked skin with just my white bra on.


    I looked down on the leather seat as I could feel his gaze fixated upon me...my bare skin.


    He had never seen me bare. We sure did make out, groped each other intimately but never did reveal naked skin.


    Was he liking what he was seeing???


    Was I ugly???


    My breathing was getting high every second as I got conscious about my half-naked body.


    He did not say anything and that made me even more impatient. I wanted him to say anything...something...


    I shivered when I felt his cold finger on my bruised abdomen. It made him look up at me...on my face.


    Nothing about this moment should have been erotic but for me it was. He was only attending to my injuries and here I was going crazy...wanting more of his finger pad running on my body.


    He pulled apart and then he got the ointment out. He opened the knob and applied it to the bare skin of my abdomen.


    I closed my eyes, my lips half parted, trying very hard not to moan out. This would be my very first time feeling a man''s touch on my body.


    He applied it all over the bruises. It pained me when he pressed on those parts but my mind was too numb to feel anything but his cold touch...my chest felt heavy...my nipples hard and straining the cloth of the bra.


    I was behaving like a harlot. I knew that...after all that I had gone through...moments ago I was barely myself and here I was sitting beside a man getting aroused.


    "Lean on me."


    He asked and I did as he asked. I leaned on his front as his hands went to apply the ointment on my back.


    My bra d chest brushing on his shirt one. My hands curled them in a fist when I felt his fingers lingering on the hook of my bra.


    For a moment I felt it...I felt it clicked open and then right after we were making out furiously as he pulled me more closer to him, getting up on hisp, straddling him as he ran his hands up and down on my bareback.


    "All done. You can put your top back on."


    His voice pulled me out of my lecherous sh of mind. I parted myself from him but then he held my right hand. It made me look back at him.


    He too looked at me but then he started applying the ointment on my wrists. I gulped the saliva down my throat.


    He was so attentive to the wounds, very softly massaging the skin as he applied the cream around it.


    His eyes were on my wrists while my eyes were on him...his face...those eyes, his sharp jaw and those lips...I wanted it everywhere on my body.


    "Raise your legs up on myp."


    He implored and without much hustle, I obliged. I bent down to open my shoes. I could then feel his eyes on my cleavage. The feeling of it only excited my nerves more.


    He took hold of my feet on hisp and could not help but see my bare upper thighs as the skirt scooted up a little.


    On the entire way, I was waiting for him to make a move maybe....just like that day when he kissed me.


    When he was done, he let go of my feet and I wore my top back in disappointment. Did he not like me???


    After he was done...he put away the first aid kit back in the drawer. I felt dead all over again, looking outside as we drove.


    "Tinsley?"


    I tilted my neck to look at him.


    "You are beautiful."

 Chapter 61 - TINSLEY RANDALL...

    (BACK TO PRESENT! )


    When it was the right time, I stepped forward, descending the stairs very slowly, taking my sweet time.


    On reaching the end of the staircase, I stopped, letting them know I was here. My new husband turned around and smiled at me.


    "Meet my wife, Tinsley Wilson. "


    Kian forwarded his hand for me to hold onto and I entangled it with mine as I stood right beside him.


    Valeria and Josh looked like they had seen and heard that the end of the world, doom''s day on earth was here.


    "We were upied during the wedding ceremony which was attended by our only closest friend to keep it intimate...Madison and her nana, Anna Maria as the witness of our holy union before the God."


    Kian went on with an amused look on his face and in out came Madison who was wearing a pink sundress as my one and only bridesmaid. Anna Maria joined too.


    For a moment or two, we waited patiently for our guests to show any kind of reaction as the news seemed to have given them a state of shock.


    "All we want now is your blessing, my dearest aunt."


    And saying that, Kian and I both strode forward together towards Valeria to which she had taken a step backwards, stopping us from moving any forward.


    "Stay away from me..."


    It was the first thing that came out of Valeria''s mouth. She red at me and then the fire in her eyes had entered.


    "You fool!!! Do you even know what you did???"


    She yelled at Kian while he looked as unfazed as possible by her angered.


    A smile was still stered on his face.


    "Do you even know what you did??? She...that bitch..."


    Valeria stepped towards me but Kian got in between me and her, making her halt at her position.


    "You will address her with respect, Valeria. She is my wife and I m in my full conscious right now and I know what I did or going to doter..."


    He said looking straight into his aunt''s eyes and mumbled thest part fixing his gaze on Josh as he leaned towards me to ce a soft kiss on my right cheek.


    Despite of the heavy situation, we were in, I could not help the blush that crept up on my pale cheeks.


    "This...this cannot happen..."


    Josh started and I interrupted him right away.


    "And why not, Josh??"


    "Why not??? She asks why not???"


    Joshughed at me and that made everyone in the living hall look at him questionably.


    "This is not legal...that is why you dumb slut!!"


    And a gunshot was heard in the air which made Josh shut his mouth right away.


    Kian had fired his gun on him. Everyone was taken aback by his action.


    "The next time you call her anything but Mrs Wilson, the bullet will be inside that arsehole of a mouth you have."


    Kian stated and the message seemed to have been delivered correctly. We could hear muffledughter from behind. It had to be Madison.


    Josh was shaken and afraid to speak out the next word. Valeria was watching everything unfolding before her eyes without a word.


    "And this marriage is as legal as the pure bond we both share."


    Kian answered his usation. Throughout the entire conversation, not once did Kian lost his sweet calmingposure.


    But I knew it that his insides must have been burning for having to hold back from punching Josh''s guts out.


    "But....but the contract.. "


    "It''s null and void when we both are married now. You can''t have two marriages."


    Kian interrupted him with a straight cut reply, squeezing my hand that he was holding, bringing it up to his mouth, cing a sweet got kiss on the back of my hand.


    "I know the news of our wedding had taken everyone by shock but everything happened so fast that we forgot to invite everyone."


    Kian resumed, looking over at his aunt who looked like she was going to go bloody murder mood in any moment from now.


    "This is not over..."


    Valeria started and Kian got in between as if challenging her. It was a sight to see the most obedient nephew standing against his own aunt.


    "It will never be over. We are married till death do us part and beyond that, Valeria."


    "When...when you wille to know the truth...it will be all over then...."


    Valeria blurted with a cruel smile, moving her gaze both at me and Kian. She also red at Anna Maria who continued to remain neutral.


    "I know everything I have to know. You both should be thankful that my wife and I are not pressing any charges against you both after what you both did to her."


    "So now you are going to fight your aunt to thew after everything I did...you ungrateful bastard over some slut..."


    Another gunshot was heard in the air. Kian''s eyes had turned red by now as he narrowed his gaze upon Valeria.


    "I keep telling that everyone will address her as Mrs Wilson and not anything else...and if I get the green signal from my wife to take you both to the court for her justice...I will dly."


    Kian let out. Valeria looked shaken but she did not let go of her mask of bravery just yet.


    "Even the name you have given her is mine...I gave you...you are nothing without me, Kian Wilson...you are what I made you."


    Valeria throttled. And I could see the future of the conversation. I wanted it to end right away.


    "Fair enough...she will take myte mother''s surname, Randall and I today on this date m giving up my post as the CEO of Wilson''s co. "


    Kian dered, making me tilt my head to look at him. His eyes were straight on Valeria and so did hers was on his.

 Chapter 62 - CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS!

    "When you know the truth...it will not be me who would try to cut all your ties with you, Kian Wilson."


    "It''s Kian Randall from now on."


    Kian cut her off and at that moment maybe only I felt a bit bad foring in between him and her.


    She indeed looked hurt but controlled herself. Her nephew did not only gave up on herpany but also her name.


    "All the guests are requested to stay for dinner."


    He offered solemnly and ordered the waiters to start serving the food in the big dining hall.


    "Hope you are happy by taking away him just like you took my sister away from me..."


    It was thest thing Valeria said, eyes directed to me and then storming out of the mansion, knocking the pottery on the edge of the door.


    "What are you waiting here for??? You are thest person on hell be dining with us..."


    Kian said to Josh and he was outright after when Kian fired thest bullet in his direction.


    The minute they were out, Madison moved forward,ughing her heart out, pping with both her hands.


    It was herughter that made us allugh after her. Even Anna Maria wasughing. I had never seen herugh like that.


    She walked up to us and held both mine and Kian''s joined hands.


    "May God always bless your union. Always protect her, son. And Tinsley, you will always be his strength in his weakest and sickness..."


    Anna Maria asserted to which both I and Kian found ourselves nodding our heads.


    "Can we now please eat??"


    Madison snickered and we all headed towards the dining hall. The white velvet cake which was baked in the shortest notice possible from one of my favourite baking shop was ced there.


    All the staff of the household gathered around as me and Kian cut the cake and he made me eat one big piece.


    I could not help but lick his fingers, getting lost in the taste, unseeing how he was looking at me.


    Everyone apuded for us and then we got on our seats to the seat. There were ten dishes in total and at least five of them were my favourite.


    I had no idea how he manages to do it all on such short notice but I was d. It was not the fairy tale wedding I had dreamed about all my life but it was with the man, I had fallen in love with.


    Plus Anna Maria being here for me made me feel at ease knowing someone closest to me was near me.


    I had anxiety thinking who would walk me down the aisle but then Madison bought her in.


    It was an emotional moment for all of us in the room behind the church where we both wed.


    "Now that you are no more the CEO of the Wilson co...what are you going to do, Mr Randall??? How are you going to feed your new wife??"


    Madison joked, chewing on her roasted chicken. Even though it was a mockery but the matter was concerning.


    Kian had given away all his life''s work for me and I did not know how to feel about that.


    Did I pull him too far??


    How was he going to maintain this extravagant life was so used to living???


    "I still have my software firm with me and it is good for now I will get more time to incest upon it. "


    Kian replied. I had no idea Kian was aputer genius. Madison nodded her head at him.


    "He would always sneak to his software firm in free time when not dealing with oil and still managed to get his firm to top twenty rankings."


    Madison said, smiling at him. It was always nice to look at both of them...they were like friends I never had or thought of having in my life ever before.


    "It was only possible because of you. You were the best secretary I could ever have, Madison. "


    Kian praised her which made Madison stand up from her seat and bow before him as if he was a king.


    "Enough with the work talk on the dinner table. "


    Anna Maria stopped both of them and both Kian diverted his eyes back on his te of food.


    "What??? Nana, I was only trying to talk my new boss into giving me his post as secretary again."


    Madison stated and that made us look at her in halt. She was leaving her post from the Wilson co for Kian...


    "Madison you do not have to do this..."


    Kian started. Obviously, he did not like the idea of her resigning from her post just because of him...nobody did.


    "I m not doing it for you,mon. I do not want to work with your aunt after she saw me here...ept me as your next secretary or you will be the reason behind me ending up as unemployed....with the sass I have, no one will ept me as their P.A "


    And we all agreed to that. Kian was a liberal boss to Madison only because both of them worked as friends.


    And Madison had the sass everywhere. It was no hidden fact.


    "Fine...I mean you will show up in my office either way so you are hired."


    Kian taunted and that cheerful conversation about work ended there. Soon it was the nighttime to bid farewell to them.


    Anna Maria conversed with me as Madison and Kian got engaged with their new working n.


    "Are you happy, my child??"


    "I m more than happy, Anna Maria."


    I answered her with the most sincere smile on my face.


    "Then you must make him happy too. Take care, my child. My blessing is always with both of you."


    Anna Maria bedded me and Kian night and so did Madison as she handed me my wedding gift.


    "Where is my gift??"


    Kian asked, narrowing his eyes at her.


    "Me being your secretary if that is not enough for you then...your wife is the gift wrapped by the gift I have given her.."


    Madison said, winking at both of us before Anna Maria dragged her out. She clearly had too many sses of champagne for the night.


    _______________________________________________

 Chapter 63 - THANK YOU AND SORRY!!!

    My heart was thumping against my chest as I was back in the room from where I hade out in the evening.


    I was staring at my reflection in the full-body vertical mirror that was installed in our closet.


    Kian had gone out to attend to a call. Right after Madison left, she had dropped a tweet saying he had resigned from Wilson co and now his phone was flooded with emails, calls, sms.


    She was clearly over drunk as I looked down at the gift she had given me. ck lingerie...


    What on earth!!! She had just gifted me...


    It could hardly pass out to be a piece of cloth. It was torn in every part. Some parts seemed like were made holes on it deliberately. After all, who could it be if not Madison''s doing?


    But then should I not wear it??? After all, it was our wedding night.


    Even the thought of it made me shiver. His kisses and touches had the power to drive me crazy and thinking what he might do to me tonight...made me close my eyes feeling the euphoria.


    "I did resign and I will officially dere it tomorrow. "


    I heard him talking on the phone, his voice deeper in anger and frustration.


    Maybe it was not the right time for a wedding night???


    "Oh give me a break, Daniel. I did not n this out...I was not intending to resign anytime soon but it happened ok...what else you want me to do right now???"


    At that moment I could not help but feel responsible for the situation he was in. He was not nning to do what he did today...maybe not in his life ever if not for meing in his life out of blue.


    "I will talk to you tomorrow...I m really tired right now with everything that has been happeningtely."


    "What the hell are you wearing??"


    And that made me turn back to look at him out of shock, turning back, my eyes wide...I had not meant to let him see me in that lingerie yet.


    His eyes raked up and down my body as I nervously kept myposure intact as he did not say another word and closed the door behind him.


    "I will talk to you in the morning."


    He spoke into the phone and hung up the call without giving a second time for the person on the other side to answer.


    I was embarrassed by myself even thinking that he would care about this marriage to consider consummating it.


    As he moved closer, his eyes drowned into mine, my heart started racing, my feet glued to the spot where I had been standing for so long.


    I was well aware of how much skin I was showing. The nakedness that no man had ever seen before.


    I was expecting a different reaction from him. Maybe desire??? Or even a little bit of liking about this.


    But maybe he did not like me in that way and it broke my hearting to know that my husband did not desire my body as I did his.


    Thinking had made my mind busy and not recognise when and how he stood so close towards me.


    I could feel his hot air fanning over my face as his eyes behold mines. Before he could say or do anything, I moved backwards.


    "I will go change."


    I said and walked away towards the bathroom in a hasty manner, not wasting any time to earn any more of disappointment.


    When I had returned, the lights were off and I could see him on the other side of the bed, leaving the next spot empty beside him.


    I quietly stepped forward and slipped inside the duvet, rolling my body to the other side, facing the wall.


    That was not how I had pictured my wedding night to be. But with facing so many setbacks in life, it did not surprise me anymore.


    I knew that I could not be selfish and ask him to be my husband body and soul when he only married me to protect me.


    He had already done so much for me and here I was being greedy for more. By helping me had not cost him any good but difficulties.


    If anything, I should be thankful to him and not feel sorry orin. I could not help but recollect the memories after he rescued me and bought us to the courthouse.


    He had not exposed the news to me right away that we were towed. And to think of I was doubting this man who had been nothing but selfless towards me...I was such a fool.


    Maybe...maybe if I had not walked in and handed myself to Valeria...I would have been sleeping on the bed in the room of the condo tonight.


    It was I who let us to this destiny. It was for me, he had to give up on his life and future.


    For a second,ying beside him, I felt guilty for dragging him with me to the dark side of the future.


    My stupidity had led us here. My ignorance, jealousy and doubts were responsible for trapping us in an unwanted marriage for life if only if he wished to free himself of me in the future.


    And that mere thought made me bring my knees forward to my chest as my eyes watered, grieving the thought of being parted from the man I love so much that he had no idea of...and maybe he would nevere to know either.


    In the darkness of the night, even after being with the man I had loved for life made me feel the loneliest on the face of the earth for his presence seemed dreadful and unwanting of me.


    And it hurt but regardless of it, how much more could I expect him to sacrifice for me?


    So I turned around to face his back and whispered in the moonlight seeping in through the curtains.


    "Thank you and sorry!"


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 64 - STARTING OF THE NIGHT...

    Sleep was the furthest thing at that moment for Kian as heid on the bed, facing the windows.


    He sensed her turning her front to face him and heard her faint whisper in the dark.


    "Thank you and sorry!"


    He knew that he should not have had reacted like the way he did on entering the room.


    He did what was right. He did all of it to protect her from that bastard. And he would do it over and over again to ensure her protection from any harm.


    But the problemid with that he had no idea of how to deal with this new phase of their life together.


    Should he act like a true husband to her or should he not??


    He even had no idea whether she was happy with this wedding or not??


    Would she have answered it with a yes if she was not in danger??


    A lot of questions simr to that had been swimming inside his mind and the search for an answer to all of them were quite impossible to gather at that particr moment.


    Neither did he understand what she meant by the ''thank you and sorry'' she uttered to him.


    That made him turn around to have a look at his new bride with whom he had not gotten a single moment to converse...letting her know that she was safe with him.


    Tinsley did not expect him to turn around and when he did, she was caught off-guard admiring her new husband''s back.


    Both of their eyes locked with each other in the faint darkness of the room, illuminated by the moonlight seeping through the ss window.


    It was in that light, she looked ethereal to his human eyes...her beauty wless, her lucid eyes speaking too many emotions aloud to him of which he could only understand the one where it was thirsting to be desired.


    His right hand moved up and caressed his new wife''s cheek sensually making her close her eyes...enjoying the touch of her husband''s.


    No words were spoken as both soon found themselves moving closer, leaving no space between them at all.


    When Tinsley felt his lips on hers, she opened her eyes to cherish that moment.


    God knows how many times she had dreamt of when again she could have the divine taste of his lips when she was held captive.


    There were moments...times when she felt...he too felt...they both would not meet ever again.


    So when their lips touched, both of them cupped each other''s face as they gave theirs all into the kiss.


    When her breath shortened, he moved down, showering kisses all over her bare jaw, on the naked skin of the length of her neck.


    Tinsley could not help but moan out at the feel of his wet kisses all over her face and neckline.


    Her breathing fastened, her chest raised up and down...the excitement of his touch ran through her blood and nerves making her anticipate for more...wanting more.


    Kian was losing his mind in worshipping the beauty thatid beside him.


    Oh! How he had wanted to taste all of her for so long and now that he was living the moment...he could not help himself acting in haste.


    Tinsley''s moans and body movement was igniting his soul to dwell more...keep going and never stop.


    His hands slipped down from tracing her neck to squeezing either of her breasts through her nightgown making Tinsley squirm and moan underneath his body.


    Their fullness in his both hands made him groan out for the first time in the night as he continued marking the base of her neck with his lips and tongue.


    Soon his fingers were working upon the buttons of her nightgown, wanting to see more of his wife''s skin.


    Tinsley did not bother stopping the man whom she had loved all her life...who was then her husband.


    Instead, she joined him in helping remove his t-shirt and which was a green signal to Kian that she wanted him to as much as he did her.


    It made his heart fuzzy and warm in knowing that. That made him smile and peck her sweet lips as she drew the shirt up from his head.


    His skilful fingers untied the knots of her gown and the silk clothing slipped down her torso, resting on her waist.


    The sight of her bare breasts...the pink rosy peaks on its top, erect and straight hypnotized Kian''s entire state.


    He had seen, touched, sucked, licked a fair amount of breasts but those in front of his eyes then were not just any women''s bosoms...but his wife''s.


    Tinsley did not know how to react...what to do and not as she saw how he was staring at her naked boobs for quite longer than a second, making her mind restless wondering whether or not he liked them or not??


    It made her self conscious too for nobody had seen her like that ever. More time Kian took admiring the beauty before his eyes...more doubts flooded Tinsley''s mind.


    So she thought of covering herself with her hands but Kian was quick to stop her...drawing her hands apart.


    "Do not hide from me...you are so beautiful my dear."


    His words gave an instant boost to her emotions and drove her vulnerability away as she obliged with his touch.


    When Kian wanted to go for more...he asked for permission through his eyes and Tinsley was more than ready to give herself to her husband...body and soul.


    She leaned down on the mattress and Kian got on top of her, dropping wet kisses from the middle of her chest...holding both her hands in a tight grasp atop her head...leavingpletely under his mercy.


    When his lips encircled around one of her hard buds...she rose up, moaning loud.


    His eyes...her eyes locked as his tongue tasted one of her nipples making her lose every bit of her onto him.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 65 - BELIEVE ME...YOU WILL LOVE IT!

    <strong>MATURE CONTENT AHEAD</strong>


    When his lips encircled around one of her hard buds...she rose up, moaning loud.


    His eyes...her eyes locked as his tongue tasted one of her nipples making her lose every bit of her into him.


    He did not stop at just one...but tasted both of them to his heart''s content. He felt like living in a dream for being able to cherish this beauty before him.


    As his lips moved down her skin...his hands caressing and squeezing the full breasts...Tinsley felt so much pleasure but she was a little afraid too for what wasing next.


    Kian''s hands found the waistband of her underwear and stopped on his track to ask for her permission.


    Tinsley opened her eyes to look down at her husband, wondering why he stopped all of a sudden.


    But when she came to know the reason behind it...it warmed her heart, injecting more love for the man in her full heart.


    She caressed his head and pulled him in...making his face hit the most feminine part of his wife.


    The musky smell drove inside his nose making his mind forget everything in this world but to close his eyes and enjoy her scent.


    He tore off her undergarment into shreds and drove his mouth inside her most feminine flesh making Tinsley look up at him.


    Kian rose up and moved towards her. Their eyes staring at each other like a hawk.


    Tinsley was living a moment that she had never dreamed of evering true but it was here...and she was living in it, breathing in it.


    For the first time in the night, she pecked his lips, initiating a kiss that gave him every bit of permission he needed for the rest of the night.


    He cupped her face and he bit on her lower lips and moved his right hand down, his finger pads touching her skin on the way while he thrust his tongue inside her mouth, tasting her insides.


    When his fingers made in contact with her naked core, she let go of his lips, breathing high, opening her eyes to watch him making her lose her mind.


    His fingers felt as if they had entered a forbidden ce, squeezing his flesh...the way her eyes kept ncing at him and when he started moving it inside...each chunk of breath she took, raising her chest up and then down...made him forget about everything else that existed in the world.


    She bit on her lips as he continued to kiss and mark her neckline, fingering her core...she could feel her liquid gushing out of her...the squeaky noise that echoed in the room along with her moans and his heavy breathing.


    When his move became urgent, the speed increasing and her teeth cluttered feeling a deep knot forming deep in her lower abdomen, she held on to his hand in action inside her...trying to stop him.


    Her body was not familiar with this kind of feeling...the feel of out of the world. She had never felt something like this ever.


    Kian knew that she was close and he had no intention of stopping here...instead he moved more faster in and out of her...sticking his eyes to her face that had gotten red and flushed...sweat beads dancing on her forehead.


    "Stop...stop...it.."


    She murmured, her hand holding onto his wrist that only made him more excited to make her reach her end and see how would she react then.


    "Believe me...you will love it.."


    He said, pecking her lips multiple times muffling her moans as she started to squirm underneath his hold.


    And when Kian added another finger inside her drenched core...she closed her eyes and fell atop him, hugging his body to herself, resting her face on the crook of his neck as he continued to y her body like the strings of the guitar.


    She felt like she saw the stars in her head...standing at the edge of the cliff as therge waves of the ocean water hit her face repeatedly...refreshing her...closing her eyes in the euphoria.


    Kian let her rest...giving her sweet time toe down from her high. Even though how much he wished to see her face at that moment.


    Damn!!! He had always dreamt of this day...how she would look when the songs of pleasure would grace her.


    Tinsley had no intention of letting him go anytime soon. Her core felt void when he pulled his fingers out and that made her pull away.


    The sight of him watching his fingers wet from her juices...glistening in the moonlight as he licked them clean...his lips moving around his fingers that were just inside her a few seconds ago.


    Tinsley had no idea of what got over her next moment as sheunched herself upon him and mmed her mouth over his...tasting herself in the process but she had no care for it.


    What she knew or desired more was to make him feel the same way as he did to her.


    She wished to offer him the same amount of love and pleasure he had offered to her in the night.


    He had made her night to be the most remarkable and memorable one and she wanted to do the same.


    She smooched his lips and then went down...showering kisses all over his neck, jaw and naked chest.


    Kian rubbed her back as she continued to paint his body with her red lips...it had the power to make him feel nothing but relief.


    Just a few minutes ago...he was frustrated like he never had been in his life after giving up everything that he had for the woman before him...the world getting crazy over his shoulder.


    Tinsley''s small palms rested on the top of his crotch...then hard and erect underneath his boxer.


    He saw the desire and want in her eyes but also the fear, nervousness evident in them.


    They hade too far in a knock...he had never imagined for it to happen...not just after a day of rescuing her from her captors.


    What was he thinking???


    "We do not have to do this..."


    He said, tilting her face up to look at his face. There was silence for a while before she gave him her answer that sealed the night for them.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 66 - ITS...ITS BIG!

    "We do not have to do this..."


    He said, tilting her face up to look at his face. There was a silence for a while before she gave him her answer that sealed the night for them.


    "No...I want this...I want you."


    She whispered thest part, looking into his dark brown eyes. Deep down she was excited too but also nervous at the same time.


    "But you are nervous??"


    He implored and she could not wonder but how well he could read his mind...this man had done nothing but took care of her, protected her and given nothing but pleasure and happiness.


    Then why was she afraid??? Or nervous??


    "Do you trust me??"


    He asked and it did not take her a moment to respond in yes by nodding at him. She trusted him more than herself.


    He was amused by her answer. It warmed his insides knowing she trusted him with something as intimate as the moment they were sharing or were about to.


    "Then do you believe me when I say I will take care of you?"


    "You can never hurt me."


    Her reply made him peck her lips a multiple times. It made him so much more happier.


    He did not know why it did but it did anyway and he could not help but feel special. She made him feel special.


    "Then why are you afraid??"


    He inquired, both resting their foreheads on each other. His fingers running in between her red locks.


    "It''s just...its..."


    Her cheeks got painted in red as she struggled to let the words out of her swollen lips.


    "...I have never done this before. "


    Her fears were justified. He could understand her anxiety, her nervousness. But he was also amused by the news.


    He felt some kind of ownership over her untouched body...knowing that no men had ever had the pleasure to touch, hold and look at the way he had...made him very possessive about her.


    "And you do not want to do now??"


    "No no...I want to. "


    Her instant reply as if she would lose her chance with him made him smirk at her.


    It reddened her cheeks more, realizing how much desperate she sounded.


    "Will you loosen your hold a little on my cock??"


    And at that time, she wished the bed swallowed her in for she had not realized how she was holding him through his boxer.


    She had no idea of what she was holding onto and tried to pull out her hands off of him but he did not let her.


    "Then what are you afraid of?"


    He inquired, lifting her jaw up with his forefinger. Her flushed face was too embarrassed to look at him.


    "You have nothing to worry about. "


    He said, sliding a strand of her red hair behind her ears.


    "I will always take care of you. "


    "You promise?"


    "I promise."


    His answer to her question made her rose, sitting up on hisp, straddling him, her legs encircling his waist making direct contact with her core and his hardened length.


    They both gasped at the contact. She was not afraid anymore. She was all ready to give him herself...body and soul.


    "If you want to stop...we can..."


    "I do not want to though."


    She cut him off right away, putting a finger over his lips, shutting him up.


    "More so... it''s our wedding night."


    She mumbled, looking right into his dark dted pupils, her finger brushing over his open mouth.


    "...and I would love nothing more than for my husband to make love to me."


    Every word, she spoke out was making him crazy for her...crazy in needs...crazy to have her, devour her all night long.


    It was indeed true...she was his wife and he was her husband. They were married and it was their first night as husband and wife.


    Even though he did not think that it would lead to this but he was not disliking the idea either.


    A marriage was iplete without consummating it. Plus he had never desired any woman more than he ever did for Tinsley.


    He always had eyes for her...there was some kind of unknown pull towards her...a dreadful attraction that he could never get off.


    That only made him believe of whatever she told him how they had a thing for each other when they were kids.


    Maybe indeed they did and when there was a moment in the past where he had a second thought about marrying her...locking his life for her...with her.


    But then the primary thought was to protect her and that he would go to any length to make sure of that.


    He ended up marrying her and he had no regrets about it either. Just to see her the way she was with him right then...he would do it all over again.


    His eyes roamed all over her face and then like a ragging wind, he mmed his lips onto her soft and swollen ones.


    He pushed her back onto the bed and she obliged, circling her arms around his neck as they both did not stop kissing each other.


    Kian got up to get rid of his boxer and Tinsley leaned forward to have a look. She gulped her saliva down her throat, eyeing that thing...a piece of flesh standing so proudly in between her husband''s legs.


    She could not draw her eyes off of him. It was her first time seeing one of these and she could not help it in eyeing the flesh with curiosity like a very curious kitten.


    Kian saw how she was watching him. She looked so cute as a baby feline. He knew that she might have second thought once she saw him and was still ready to stop for her.


    "It''s... it''s big."


    Tinsley uttered out, still could not take her eyes off of it. Kian did not say a word...her words were boosting his man ego.


    "How will it get inside of me without killing me??"


    That made himugh out loud and only then she realized, she was speaking her thoughts out loud.


    _________________________________________________

 Chapter 67 - I M SURE KIAN!

    "It''s... it''s big."


    Tinsley uttered out, still could not take her eyes off of it. Kian did not say a word...her words were boosting his man ego.


    "How will it get inside of me without killing me??"


    That made himugh out loud and only then she realized, she was speaking her thoughts out loud.


    "You will stretch."


    He answered it for her making her look up at his face. Her cheeks red, so was her small button nose.


    "Will...will it not hurt me??"


    Fear was evident in her voice and it only made Kian smile at her. He had never bedded a virgin before either so it was all new to him too.


    "A little perhaps. "


    He answered, not knowing what to say. He had no idea how to give herfort then.


    "Look...Tinsley, we do not have to do this if you do not want to..."


    He started but was cut off by her right away.


    "...but I want to."


    She sounded like an excited kid, but also nervous and afraid at the same time for being exposed to something new entirely.


    "There is no pressure."


    "I do not feel any pressure."


    She said, her eyes still moving up from his face to down, south, intimidated by his erection.


    "We can do it other times perhaps when you are sure."


    "I m sure, Kian, very much."


    She replied. She did not want her astonishment to be meant differently by him.


    She was still into it. She wanted him...needed him. She was just overwhelmed. But she could notice that he was not getting the point at all.


    "I...I have just...never seen one of these...in my life."


    She voiced out her thought to him and that only made him wonder how much more innocent and naive his wife could get.


    Nevertheless, he was proud of that news too. He had no idea why but the fact of knowing that she had never seen any man bare except for him...it made him more possessive of her in entirety.


    "Then maybe you want to touch it first??? Feel how it feels??"


    He offered and that made Tinsley look a bit taken aback by his offer. Was he really saying that??


    "Would you really not mind?"


    "Why will I??"


    Kian took ahold of her right hand and put it atop his length. Tinsley''s palm jerked back when she touched it for the first time.


    It felt moving...pulsating...hot underneath the skin of her palm. It was so hard at the same time.


    The tip was slippery and pink with a thick white liquid sipping out from it. Her wandering hand rubbed up and down his length making Kian breathe deeply, closing his eyes.


    Damn!!! This woman would kill him with so too much anticipation.


    If even after this, she changed her mind...no doubt he would die of blue balls but he would always respect her decision.


    She rubbed the tip, feeling the slippery white liquid all over the area and it was flowing more out.


    She knew what got into her but she found herself raising the finger up and licking it off...tasting him.


    The action alone made Kian lose his fucking mind. What the fuck was she trying to do with him??


    All he wanted at that moment was to grab ahold of her red hairs from behind and pull her face down, forcing his then painfully hard erection inside her warm, hot mouth.


    "Do you know that you are killing me here??"


    He asked, breaking her off from her reverie.


    "How am I killing you, Kian??"


    She questioned him, ever so innocently that it made him want to bang his head on the wall for even thinking otherwise of her.


    "Do you not like me touching you??"


    She tried to pull her hands off of him but he stopped her right away.


    She was confused at this point. Did she do something wrong?? She was just curious about how he would taste like.


    "I very much like your hands on me."


    He responded, his voice hard with need and rough. God only knows, how much more restraint he could have for one night??


    Tinsley ran her fingers over the length and did not know when and how she had the feeling...but she wondered how would it feel to be inside her??


    A sudden vacuum...a neverending void she felt in between her legs. Her pussy getting wetter.


    "I want you inside. "


    He knew that she had a habit of speaking her thoughts out loud. He was getting restless every moment, every second...she would be the death of him for fucksake!!


    "I want you in me...right now."


    It was as if she had made her mind then. What could go wrong with loving the man she had loved all her life??


    He did promise her that he would always take care of her. There was excitement and nervousness but the fear was long gone.


    She just liked and admired how much patient he was for her. He had waited for her to getfortable with him.


    "Do you mean it?? Because this time...I will not be able to stop myself anymore, Tinsley??"


    Kian confronted her for the nth time in the night. He had reached the brink of his patience at that moment.


    He really meant it what he just told her. He surely would not be able to hold back from having herpletely this time.


    "I mean it...I want nothing more than you. "


    She softly let out. Kian did not wait for another moment. Who knew she might change her mind???


    He kissed her with the uttermost urgency, pushing her back onto the bed and getting in position.


    Tinsley''s heart started racing as she felt the tip sliding inside her. His lips doing a good job distracting her but her mind had gone frozen for the time being.


    He continued to push inside more and more of him and she felt breathless.

 Chapter 68 - AN UNEXPECTED LOVE CONFESSION!

    Tinsley''s heart started racing as she felt the tip sliding inside her. His lips doing a good job distracting her but her mind had gone frozen for the time being.


    He continued to push inside more and more of him and she felt breathless. His length making her feel so full.


    And then as if he had reached an unknown barrier getting on his way inside of her...he stopped.


    Her chest heaved up and down, anticipating what might happen next. She could still feel him inside her.


    Kian took a deep breath and stared right into her eyes as she did at him and then pulled out all of a sudden making her feel empty only a few momentster to thrust all of him inside her, in one go making her body rose up in the stinging pain, making her cry out.


    Kian held her body down as she sobbed, feeling the pain rocking her body. Her tears flow freely out of her eyes.


    He was all inside her and it was killing him off having to hold intact and not keep thrusting in and out but he wanted her pain to subside.


    For a sh of a second, he felt a little bad for hurting her. Was he too hard?? He thought but he had no experience with any virgin either to know how to handle them.


    Tinsley''s sobs subsided as soon she felt the pain bidding her farewell and one new feeling of fullness enveloped her.


    She felt the need for him to move in and out of her and involuntarily she moved her hips making him aware that she was alright then.


    Kian kissed her face all over as he pulled out slowly all of him from inside her and then mmed inside right after.


    The movement was creating different waves of pleasure in both of their bodies as Tinsley rocked underneath him.


    She wrapped her legs around his waist urging him to drive in and out from her more speedily.


    Not one for one moment did they both looked anywhere but in the eyes of each other.


    His chest rubbing against her breasts, his hands cupping her face as they both danced in the song of pleasure.


    She was so tight...she was squeezing the life out of him. He knew that he was not going tost long inside her but yet he wanted to make sure she reached her highs before him.


    As more time passed, his momentum of going in and out of her increased, kissing the crook of her neck.


    She moaned, he groaned, the sound of their skin pping onto each other were the only sound heard inside the room.


    A familiar knot started to form inside her stomach and this time, Tinsley knew what it was.


    She loved that feeling and needed to feel it so she started to move against him too. It made him ram inside her more faster.


    Soon she found herself losing it and so did he. He got unbelievably hard inside of her, stretching her inside more and then started pulsating inside her...the feeling was out of words for her.


    Then like a can of soda when shook furiously up and down, a warm fuzzy liquid was shot inside of her making her reach her end...closing her eyes.


    Kian''s body shook at the intensity of the pleasure as he shot a rope of his semen deep inside his wife''s womb.


    Tinsley held him closer to her body, hugging him with her everything as they both shared the most intimate moment of their life.


    They were then-husband and wife in the true sense and word. Both had given each other their body and soul.


    She felt him growing soft inside her. It was fascinating for her. All...everything about him was intriguing to her.


    Kian rose up to look at her and she looked transcendental. Her post-sexplexion was captivating.


    She could feel their liquid seeping out of her, flowing down her skin to the bed. It gave her tingles.


    The way he looked at her...it gave her chills down her bone. The look was so much more...it meant so much that it was difficult for her to decode what it exactly confessed.


    He had sex with so many women but with none had it felt like the way he felt with the one lying underneath him.


    He ran his fingers over her forehead, going down, tracing her face, rubbing his thumb over her swollen pink lips.


    He grew hard again inside her and she felt it. He filled her to the brim once again.


    Her breathing became higher once again and so did his. He leaned forward to pull her lips in his mouth and slipped his hand down to rub her clit.


    Her body moved as he began to push inside and out of her again. This time he took his sweet time...making her feel his every move.


    He thrust his tongue inside her mouth as he continued to rub her nub, moving in and out of her.


    There was no urgency to get this over with. They had all the time in this world.


    She was on fire for him...he was inside the most enchanting channel of his life. The feel of each other was peaceful...magical.


    When he was close...she closed her eyes weing the euphoria once again. He felt here all over him as he painted her insides with his white secretion.


    "I love you...I love you!!"


    It was a confession that she always kept it to herself. It was her voice within that she never dared to speak out loud in her life.


    But tonight with everything that had happened...the love they had shared, she could not contain it in herself anymore.


    Her eyes watered more as she realized how much she loved him and that her life had no meaning without him.


    Kian was stunned for he was not expecting that at all. A love confession was not something new to him. He had heard many confessing it to him...but this was different.


    _________________________________________________

 Chapter 69 - THEY BOTH KEPT THEIR VOWS AND SEALED THEIR MARRIAGE!

    It was in that awkward moment, Kian did not know how to respond to her.


    He could see the depth of what she felt for him in her eyes, crystal and lucid but he could never lie to her.


    Lie about his feelings to her. He sure did care for her...maybe more than anyone else but love???


    It was something he had not felt or known of ever. The feeling was a foreign thought to him.


    Tinsley patiently waited for him to respond as sheid her naked heart before him...at his feet for him to ept or do whatever he wanted with it.


    She had given him her body and soul and there was no going back. But as more time passed and she heard nothing...not even a word from him...her hopes were fading slowly and slowly.


    Kian leaned forward and kissed her temple gracefully. Tinsley closed her eyes relishing the moment.


    "Go to sleep."


    That was all he said before rolling off to the other side and sleeping off, leaving her all alone to her confession and love for him.


    She felt an unbearable ache in her full ripened heart at his reaction but she consoled herself that at least then he knew about how she felt about him.


    Something she should have done ages ago. Maybe her confession would have stopped him from ever parting away from her...leaving her all alone right after taking her first kiss.


    Oh!! That poor heart sobbed day and night wondering why did he leave her??


    Did she do something wrong?? It was a dull ache thatsted forever that cruel summer and the harsh winter.


    She regretted for not letting him know of her undying love for him. She always wondered when would they meet again and she could confess her heart to him??


    As the years passed by with no sign of him. He was nowhere as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.


    She would often go to the shed of the mango tree where they had kissed for the first time...trying to relive the memory in her heart, closing her eyes.


    She had never thought in her life once that she would ever meet again...but fate had yed so mysteriously with her.


    She was grateful for it even though she had to pass some dreadful moments but it was all worth it to have him beside her.


    She had dreamed of them somewhere in time going back to the sheds of the mango tree and rekindling their love...reviving the feeling.


    Now that he was here...so close to her yet she felt him far away from her reach.


    She watched his back as his soul drifted off to sleep...hers could not.


    Not after what they just shared...it was magical and sensual. She had had him in ways she never thought she could ever have him.


    But did shemit a mistake by confessing her love to him??


    Because she could feel it...the moment she dered it...her love for him...all his demeanour changed.


    The look of adoration and love that she had witnessed all night long as they dwelled in pleasure from each others flesh andpany was gone in the snap of a finger.


    It was as if he had gained his consciousness from a deep slumber where he had been dreaming...his eyes...his soul drifted apart from hers.


    It broke her heart to see him distancing himself from her after what they just shared.


    But then she consoled her grieving heart that he had forgotten all that they had shared in the past and no wonder it would take him some time toe to terms with everything.


    He would dere his love for her someday. She told herself and then pulled the duvet up to her chest, turning on her side to face his back and try to go to sleep.


    At least tonight they were man and woman...husband and wife in true sense. They both had kept their vows and sealed their marriage.


    There was hope for them...a hope..a future where she could dream of having his full love and heart just like he had hers.


    She smiled at that thought as she drifted off to sleep. Her body tired and exhausted from all the lovemaking.


    It was a good feeling and she was notining about it at all. She was looking forward to more of them sharing pleasure through their bodies.


    She moved forward and pasted a chaste kiss on his shoulder, running her fingers over his messy hairs.


    She grimaced, getting reminded of how she was pulling his locks of hairs as he furiously moved in and out of her.


    It was a feeling that she had never felt before. She felt herself getting wet once again in between her thighs.


    She moved forward, closer to his sleeping body till his back was pasted to her frontal.


    Her nipples hardened at the contact of his naked skin. She breathed high and further moved towards him, cing her legs atop his underneath the duvet.


    Her pussy getting wetter as she rubbed herself against his rear. She did not know what made her so desperate when just a while ago, they had made love twice.


    She ced a chaste kiss on the crook of neck, inhaling his manly scent in. She hugged his huge body to hers and tried to go to sleep.


    However, they ended up here, it did not matter much to her. Destiny had led them together. They belonged together.


    And she could not wait for the next morning to grace them and start afresh with him by her side.


    She hoped that the dark days were gone for good and then she could dream of a future with him together with no uncertainty at all.


    Meanwhile, Kian''s eyes were wide open as he felt his new bride hugging herself to him to sleep.


    He had no inkling about what to do and what not to do with the newfound information.


    _________________________________________________

 Chapter 70 - DID HE NOT WANT KIDS?

    As the new ray of sunlight sipped in through the windows and curtains, illuminating the room, Kian could not help from admiring the beautyying next to him.


    She was asleep as he brushed her red locks creating a few hard knots on there.


    Her chest heaving up and down, the white duvet not doing much to cover her naked breasts, her nipples straining the piece of cloth.


    He dipped down to kiss awake his wife. As much as he wanted to spend time with his new wife but he could not.


    He was running out of time. He had numerous errands to run for the day. Resigning from the post that he had worked for fifteen years and then settling a lot of ounts that he had been handling for years.


    Then there was his own software firm that he had almost abandoned ages ago to run Wilson''s oil.He had to revive it back.


    He was no more alone. He had a wife to look after. The fact that she was born and raised in riches was not helping him in his situation either.


    He was about to lose everything. He had no idea how she would react to that.


    It only made him wonder if she could still be with him without his wealth??


    "Good morning husband."


    Tinsley chirped, yfully pecking her husband''s thin lips. Even though his eyes were on her face...his mind was somewhere else.


    She had woken up long ago and had been staring at his handsome face, daydreaming.


    "You are awake, wife."


    He said,ing out of his trance and then leaning forward to kiss her good morning fully.


    He captured her lips, thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, slipping his hand under the duvet, touching and squeezing her breasts.


    Tinsley moaned into the kiss, spreading her legs willingly as she felt his other hand slip in between.


    His lips dipped downwards showering kisses on her neck and jaw as he plunged in one finger inside her core.


    She opened her eyes to look at him. Their open mouths rubbing over one another as they inhaled and exhale the same air.


    Kian added another finger, stretching her tight hole, the wetness acting like a lube.


    Tinsley held onto his right bicep as he started fingering her furiously under the duvet. Her chest heaving up and down.


    As his movements became faster, she started squirming and her hold on his bicep got bolder with the passing moment.


    The sight before him was the most sexiest and hot one. She looked like a morning angelying on the bed with her eyes closed, mouth half-open.


    Their small moment was interrupted by the ringing of Kian''s cell phone. He ignored it and went on with his action.


    "It...it could be important."


    Tinsley spoke out, opening her eyes to look at her husband who had no intention of stopping what he was doing.


    "I don''t care."


    That was all he said and added another finger inside making her scream out his name as she hit her high right then and there.


    He felt the liquid gushing out of her core, drenching his fingers inside. He leaned forward to kiss her delectable lips.


    He was getting addicted to this...to her. Everything about her was so intoxicating and intriguing.


    "Are you not going to answer it now?"


    She asked, calming down from the euphoria as the phone continued to ring.


    He did not say anything and just smooched her lips one more time before getting off from the bed, picking his cell phone up from the nightstand and walking away towards the balcony.


    Tinsley rose up eyeing the naked figurine of her husband. He walked away stark naked off from their bed. She could not help but bite her lips feeling hot.


    The call took more than a few minutes. She could hear his voice rising and that made her worried for him.


    One moment, she felt like getting up and walking up to him andfort him but then she also did not want to be viewed as clingy.


    Kian was back in after a few minutes with hisplexion totally changed. His face nowhere seemed rxed anymore like a few minutes ago.


    "What happened??"


    Tinsley implored, sitting straight on the bed, leaning against the headboard, clutching the duvet close to her chest, hiding her nakedness.


    Kian did not answer her and went straight inside the closet. She heard the door closing sound and she knew that he had gone to take a bath.


    She did not like the way he ignored her but she understood that it had to be something from work.


    So instead of following in, she decided to wait for him toe back and then tell her about it.


    When Kian dide out, he was already in his suit, getting ready to head out.


    How could he manage to gette on the most emergency period of his time??


    He thought but then his eyesnded on his new bride, still on the bed, naked underneath the nket.


    She was the reason, he lost track of time and ignored his work. Was she not the reason for which he was in his present situation??


    He did not know where the anger wasing from all of a sudden. It could be perhaps because of the fact that his so-called Aunt had already arrived in the headquarters and was making a scene, tarnishing his reputation in front of the world.


    "Take these when you have your breakfast."


    He said, cing a pack of white tablets on her nightstand. Tinsley picked it up to examine what it was.


    "Why do I need these??"


    She inquired. Those were the morning after pills. He eyed her with astonishment. Was she seriously asking him why she needed those pills?


    "Are you seriously asking me that question??"


    He mockingly asked, could notable to believe her level of naivety.


    "Yes, I m, Kian."


    Tinsley answered. She did not see why she needed those pills. Did he not want kids??


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 71 - WOULD YOU RATHER STAY WITH JOSH?

    "Why do I need these?"


    She inquired. Those were the morning after pills. He eyed her with astonishment. Was she seriously asking him why she needed those pills?


    "Are you seriously asking me that question??"


    He mockingly asked, could not be able to believe her level of naivety.


    "Yes, I m, Kian."


    Tinsley answered. She did not see why she needed those pills. Did he not want kids??


    "Well, in simple words then, Tinsley I do not want you to get pregnant, that is why."


    He replied with a straight face and that only made her more shocked. How could he say something like that so easily??


    "Why?? What is so wrong with pregnancy?? We are married."


    Tinsley pressed not seeing why getting pregnant was invalid. It was not like they were not married and matured enough to have babies.


    "Marriage does not change a thing. I do not want kids so will you just take the pills and not argue with me right now?? Because I m really runningte for the very first time in my life."


    Kian yelled thest part making both of them silent the next instant. He was breathing high at the end and Tinsley looked at him stunned.


    What just happened?? That was all she could think about.


    She did not know that he disliked the idea of having children. But if he did then why ask her hand in marriage??


    Surely it was a talk that they should have had before the wedding but the situation and time did not allow them to do so.


    What was the point of marriage then?? Because she obviously was looking forward to having kids...a lot of at that for she had spent her life all alone and in forlorn with no siblings to y with or share things with.


    She definitely did not want that to be the future of her children so she always had had it in her mind to have lots of babies when she married.


    But then looking at the man, standing before her...her husband who just dered of not wanting to have children at all...what was she supposed to do then with the newfound information??


    "Then why marry me??"


    It was a whisper. She was barely audible but he did hear her.


    "Would you then prefer being with Josh??"


    Was his reply in a very contradictory question.


    He could see tears resting on the edge of her eyes and it was at that moment, he realized, maybe he did go far with this whole scenario.


    He was just angry and frustrated right after that call. For the first time in his life, he did not know what to do and felt inadequate, out of n.


    Somewhere down the line, it felt like he had imposed himself in a situation like this where everything had been disrupted...everything that he had built and worked for was going to be snatched away from him.


    So maybe he did end up directing his frustration and outrage to the wrong person but his mind was far too caught to decide what was wrong and right at that moment.


    "Just take the pills, Tinsley."


    He said before storming out of the room leaving her all deserted to fend on what did just ur?


    She clutched the duvet closer to her chest as the impending tears made their way out of her red eyes.


    Why did he react like that?? Did she do something wrong??


    They were happy...happier she could ever think she was. He looked so rx and satiated too.


    Then how in a blip, everything changed??


    Gone was the love, the adoration, the happiness, satisfaction. He eyed her as of she was a decision he regretted.


    And that broke her heart in a second. Was he really regretting it all?? In just one night together??


    Just when she was thinking that maybe they could work this marriage out, they were back on to nowhere...lost and dismantled.


    She let the tears fall freely from her eyes as she wept for the love of her husband that was so enchantingst night.


    It was their first day as man and wife but look how it turned out to be. She was saddened and distressed.


    After everything he did and protected her from the arms of her enemies, he ended up threatening to offer her back to them.


    It was a big blow. It made her look that it was why he married her...not for love which was far from it...not even for the fondness of her.


    Then how her confession of love to him was left empty with no returning of the endearment.


    Marry stood by the corner of the room, listening to her mistress cries and did not know how to approach her.


    She did saw the master storming out of the mansion and speeding away in his car.


    Tinsley let her agony out because she was hopeful that keeping them in would only cause more pain and that this would pass away.


    He must be under stress and was gettingte to work just like he mentioned. He always had a short temper.


    He never liked to be talked back. It was very clear for her. So she rubbed her tears off and reminded herself to start taking note of his likes and dislikes so that in the future, she could make sure he would not have one reason to get angry.


    Marry knocked on the door getting Tinsley''s attention. She nodded her head for the young maid to get in.


    Marry pulled theundry cart in along with her and bowed before the mistress before disappearing inside the walk-in closet to collect the clothes to be washed in.


    Tinsley got up and slipped in one of her nightgowns and called out for the maid.


    "I would like for you to show me around the house and its works. "


    Marry was a bit taken aback as no mistress would show interest in the household chores but she shook her head in positive regardless.


    Before heading out of the room, Tinsley''s eyes fell on the pills on the nightstand.


    With a heavy heart, she gulped them down her throat and walked out of there.

 Chapter 72 - "WHAT THE HELL!!!!"

    On reaching Wilson''s co, the surrounding was filled with media and paparazzi lining up in the boundary, Kian cursed inside his Mercedes.


    He breathed in and then got out of the car. The moment he did, all the cameras started shing on him as the reporters marched towards him, firing their questions on his way.


    The guards immediately surrounded him as he walked along with them in the middle. He avoided making any kind of eye contact with the cameras.


    "Mr Wilson is it true are you really resigning from Wilson Oil??"


    "Mr Wilson why the sudden resignation??"


    "How does it feels to leave fifteen years of work in a day??"


    "Is it true you are married to the Rutherford heiress??"


    "Sir is it true that you both indulged in a long affair even when Miss Rutherford was contractually engaged to Mr Herrington??"


    "Is it the affair that lead to this, Mr Wilson??"


    "Is that why your aunt, Mrs Wilson disowned you and made Josh Herrington, the acting CEO for the time being??"


    That one question made Kian stop on his steps and look back at the reporter who aired that question out.


    He would kill Josh even before making his way inside something he built and nurtured for fifteen years.


    It boiled his blood and he was about to step out and get ahold of the cor of the reporter who was spreading such rumours.


    But thankfully, Madison pushed in her way through the crowd and held Kian''s hand, stopping him from breaking out from the chain of his guards.


    "Believe me you do not want them to project you as some violent, hot-headed mess whose aunt disowned him."


    Madison voiced out, making eye contact with his red ones in furry, asking him...requesting him to listen to her.


    "Your all questions will be answered only after the conference is over. So move along now."


    Madison yelled to the impatient press and let Kian in the skyscraper with her. She had a hand on his arm as they both walked inside with the guards.


    The minute both stepped inside his private lift, Madison broke off.


    "I m so sorry for what I did. It''s irreparable. I was just so drunk and I tweeted out the most scandalous thing of my life."


    She had to apologise. She knew that she messed up real big. If not for her tweet, the outside world would not have known about this news until they announced it out to them in a civilised way.


    "It''s fine. They would have known sooner orter anyway."


    Kian said, looking away as the lift made its way to the thirtieth floor. He was really not angry at Madison.


    She was the only ally he had at the moment and he did not want to mess that up. His mind was too preupied.


    Madison nodded reluctantly, standing beside him. She was still drowning in remorse messing up his public image.


    The cleanest and without one bad bone, bachelor of the country was Kian Wilson.


    All hispetitors and enemies always tried to look out for one mistake to ruin his public image but never seeded.


    And in one night, she blew that up with just one tweet. His own personal assistant became the reason for his undoing.


    The tweet circted a million times as the news spread of how the Wilson Oil Ceo stepped down from his position in the most entertaining way possible.


    ''''


    How many P.A resigns with their boss?? Right, it''s just me and @kianwilson with the spiciest reason for stealing bride from @jh!!!


    Ohh!!! Poor @ValeriaWilson, I feel ya!!!


    ''''


    Crying,ughing emotes...


    The tweet was retweeted half a million times and liked by more than half.


    Wilson Oil was a national treasure. It was thepany selling oil all over the world.


    And news as such was everywhere. Madison had six million followers, being the most efficient right hand of Mr Wilson and a representativeof oil resources in Wilson name had poprity in the country.


    Many aspired to them for having the most professional rtionship as boss and assistant.


    They were both many times spected of dating too but it was in the air that such ims were all false.


    So Madison was as popr as she could ever wish for, working alongside Kian. Her life changed when she was hired by them ten years ago.


    Valeria Wilson hired her by herself, wanting the most efficient assistant for her nephew to run the big Oilpany.


    No wonder why her tweet caused such drama. And she regretted it the moment she got sober in the morning.


    Her shriek of curses and wails of cry echoed in the neighbourhood. Anna Maria was astonished and ran to her granddaughter''s room.


    She skipped her breakfast, bathing too and just got dressed and slipped inside her Range Rover as she sped to the office. She woke upte with a hangover.


    Her tweet was the reason, the press had so much information about this all. They did not have to work hard to cut it out who the bride was.


    Everyone knew about the contract between the Herrington and Rutherfords.


    That was why it was so important for Josh to get Tinsley back even after he was dered heir to the Rutherford fortune.


    It would ruin the Herrington name if he did not keep the promise he made to Rutherford.


    And Kian involved himself in between the mess without any gain, tarnishing his name and carrier in one go.


    "Is it true??"


    "What??"


    Madison asked, looking at him.


    "Harrington to be appointed as the acting CEO??"


    Kian implored. He knew that it had to be some sickest joke. Vria would never stoop that low.


    But Madison''s silence only confirmed it. He could not help fromnding his fist on the mirror of the lift, breaking it into shreds.


    Madison shrieked, getting afraid, stepping backwards.


    "What the hell!!!"


    She screamed inside the lift, looking at him with fear. She had never seen Kian the way he was at the moment. He never lost hisposure even when he lost the biggest deals.


    This was one fucked up case.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 73 - YOU HAD NOTHING....I RAISED YOU LIKE MY OWN!!!

    When the lift finally did open up on the thirtieth floor, both Madi and Kian got out of it.


    His right-hand knuckles were bleeding and the white handkerchief was not doing much to stop the bleeding.


    Everyone turned to look at the pair as Kian walked to his offices like a ragging tornado and Madi followed him behind.


    The employees and board members greeted him but he paid no attention. Madi smiled at them on his behalf.


    When Kian pushed open the ss door to his office, Valeria was already there sitting on the head chair.


    "You arete."


    She said.


    "Does it matter now?? I recall I m only here to resign. "


    Kian replied with a straight face, not reverting his eyes from Valeria who was looking at him to dare.


    "We could solve this with a cool mind and in a matured way."


    Madison barged in between, trying to calm both the parties down. It was only them present in the huge office but soon they would be joined by thewyers and officers from the stock market.


    "You disappointed me, Madison. I thought you to be different and civil than the stunt you pulled."


    Valeria gritted her teeth, referring it to Madison who reverted her gazes down to the white floor, ashamed of her drunkard action.


    "I m really sorry for it, Mrs Wilson."


    "You need not apologize, Madison. It was toe out to the public this way or the other way. "


    Kian interrupted her even before she could start with her apology. It irked Valeria to watch her nephew so turned against him.


    No wonder the bitch did lure him in her dark magic spells very deep and there was no returning from it if she did not pull the strings to make him see that he was nothing without her and the Wilson name.


    "We should not dy then. Let''s start with the paperwork. "


    Valeria dered and pped her hands for the attorneys general and the stack holder members to get in.


    Line by line all the men in ck suits appeared. Madison stood by Kian''s side, trying very hard to control his temper.


    All she wanted at the moment was to be done with the resignation civilly and that good professional behaviour would help them in securing investors in their new firm.


    "I denounce my nephew, Kian Wilson, now Randall from the post of Cheif Executive Officer of Wilson Oil and Industries. "


    "You do not denounce me, Valeria. I m stepping down on my own ords. "


    Kian cut his aunt short. And all the members in the office room could see the tension and anger between the nephew and aunt with their own naked eyes.


    The bond of unity that they used to share was long gone. Now all they had was bad blood.


    "It''s the same thing. Let''s get done with the paper works."


    Madison stepped in, indicating the attorneys from both sides to showcase their files.


    "It''s not the same thing, Madison. She is not denouncing me but I m stepping down...I m resigning because I will not sit and watch her treat my wife like some insignificant pawn in her game of power."


    "Your wife??? I render her not even insignificant, Kian...she is a nobody to my eyes."


    Valeria spat, with venom in her eyes directed to Kian. The board members could not stop gossiping about the scene unfolding before them.


    "After everything, I did for you and after everything you did to her, you still have the courage and dare to stand like that as if you have done nothing wrong at all??


    How could you be so passive and biased??"


    Kian questioned, raising his voice. It roared in the hall. Madison had no idea how to neutralise the environment in any way. The situation was getting out of hand.


    "I m biased??? M I??? Or was I biased with you?? I have given you everything from my name to riches when you had nothing, Kian....you were an orphan. I raised you like my own..."


    "Only because you had none as your own, Valeria. "


    Kian hit her right on the end, silencing everyone in the roompletely. Madison facepalmed herself.


    There was no returning from this. Everything just had gone down the gutter.


    "And if you have not read the agreement papers, it is I still who owns everything starting from the oil to thepanies, the houses, the properties...the vineyards...everything.


    You named all of that after me when yourte husband gave it to me.


    But here, I m willingly stepping down. I m resigning from everything I own...under my name, not the other way around. "


    Kian borated vehemently. Under no circumstance, would he allow to feed more of Valeria''s ego?


    If he was going to leave, he was going to make sure that he had left of his own will and that not because someone snatched everything away from him, handed it to him in a golden tter.


    "All you and your husband had was the oil from your ancestor. It is I who built the rest. In these fifteen years, I had invested every bit of my sweat to a ce where the Wilson industries stand now. "


    The members nodded in approval. It was the truth. It was Kian who upgraded the position of thepany from a mere state rich to an international and global rich.


    "Why does it matter now??? Nothing was yours, to begin with...everything that you built...it started from the thing that got handed to you on a golden tter...including that name."


    Valeria stroke hard and her manager came forward to silence her. He informed them of the arrival of Mr Harrington.


    Kian''s furry increased to no end. He surely would have knocked that bastard down, mming his back on the wall for even daring to step inside the office he had built but Madison walked forward, holding onto his hand, trying to calm him down.


    ________________________________________________


    <strong>PLS SHOW SOME SUPPORT...VOTE AND PLS PURCHASE PRIVILEGE!!!</strong>


    <strong>I M WORKING REALLY HARD, WITH MY EXAMS NEAR, GIVING 2 UPDATES A DAY.....PLS SUPPORT THIS POOR AUTHOR!!!</strong>

 Chapter 74 - SO WHATS NEXT???

    The papers were signed transferring everything back to Valeria''s name.


    Kian did not hesitate in signing away all that he had owned and built for fifteen years.


    After signing, Madison gave those papers back to Valeria''swyers to analyze the details.


    Like an auction, Valeria bought everything he owned ranging from the cars, the houses, the condos, his private inds, small investing firms...everything that was on the papers.


    He held tight onto Madison''s hand as thewyer went on naming out what he had lost and gained nothing from it.


    A major blow was when his bank ount was to be frozen and that made him worried for the first time.


    "The transfer is done. Mrs Valeria Wilson, you are officially the owner of everything that the Wilson owns and has a name on it."


    Valeria nodded and gave her signatures on all the papers, sealing the deal, officially epting the resignation of Kian.


    "I appoint Josh Herrington as my acting CEO for the time being."


    Valeria dered and in came Josh with a sinister smirk stered on his face as he passed a triumphant look at Kian.


    Valeria asked him to sign on the papers and he did so very willingly. The board members pped on getting their new CEO.


    Kian did not see the need to stay there any longer. His resignation was officialised and the paper works were done for so he decided it was time to leave and never return here in this lifetime.


    Valeria noticed that and whispered onto the ears of her familywyer to ready the paperwork for transferring the name of her family from his.


    "One moment..."


    She called out, halting Kian and Madison on their steps to outside.


    "We are not done with taking my name away from yours. "


    Kian smiled at the cruel tactics of his aunt to hold him back. But sadly he was not intending to ever return.


    "Wilson was never my name, to begin with."


    He said as he stormed forward and without any hesitation signed away on the legal paper denouncing hisst name and taking his maiden''s name, Randall henceforth.


    "And we are all done."


    With that, he pulled Madison away with him as they both walked out of the office and stepped inside the lift.


    Every employee bowed at them as they passed out of the ce. Kian had a straight face and Madison smiled at them on his behalf.


    The press marched towards them as both walked out of the Wilson Headquarter. The guards came to their rescue.


    Kian was about to head to his Mercedes but stopped on midway as he realized it was not his anymore when Madison held him back.


    She gave him a faint smile and led him to her Range Rover. He got in the passenger seat and she walked over to the driver''s before starting the engine and driving away from there as the paparazzi ran after the vehicle.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison stopped on the spot where he would ask her to drive often whenever he was in distress.


    It was always cool and calm there. The cemetery where his dead mother wasid to rest forever...his mother''s graveyard in the countryside.


    Kian looked at her as he was not expecting her to dive them here at all. His mind was so preupied that he had not realized she had driven them here.


    "You need it...to freshen up your mind for a new start. "


    Madison said, opening his side of the door by pressing the button on her side.


    Kian was d that he had a friend like her. God knows, what would he have done without her.


    He took a deep breath and stepped out of the vehicle. The light shower of rain partially wet his face and suit as he walked up to the graveyard.


    Madison parked the car and got out herself too. The cool drizzle relieved everyone''s soul.


    She waited for him, leaning on the gateway to the church. She avoided the urge to go and look after him.


    She knew it was the time he needed to be alone and think about what to be done next.


    In all of these, they forgot about Tinsley. It was only then Madison recalled, Tinsley had no idea what was happening at all.


    Not wanting her to be in darkness, she decided to text her and warn her that everything was going to change in a short while.


    But Kian hade already so she just shortly texted her saying that things were to change.


    She slipped her phone back in her skirt pocket to look up at him.


    "So what''s next??"


    She asked with an exciting voice, trying to ease the stress of the circumstance.


    "As always my software firm. "


    Was his reply, short and simple.


    "It''s not going to be easy. I have no money, no investors and with a ruined reputation, we are going to have a hard time finding people to invest....plus I have no idea where to start."


    Kian summarized. Madison nodded her head in understanding.


    "We will sort a way out. Do not worry and with that brain of yours, within a year or few, we will be ruling the software arena."


    She said,ughing softly.


    "Thank you, Madison. "


    "You do not really have to. We are working buddies."


    She voiced out, patting on his shoulder.


    "You really do not have to stay back here for me. Valeria will ept you back or any other majorpany...they all want you.."


    Madison cut him short, narrowing her gaze at him.


    "I have self-respect too Kian Randall and I work on my own ords...I work where I want to and I want to work with you."


    "You are stubborn but you can''tin about having to work without sry for a while. "


    Kian dered to which Madison groaned out.


    "As if I work only for money??"


    "But do everyone not, work for money??"


    Kian implored, ncing at her.


    "I m just different then, Mr Randall."


    They bothughed at that, trying their best to find even the tiny bit offort that they could gather in the most stressful moment of their life.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 75 - "YOURE DRUNK AND SPEAKING GIBBERISH!!!"

    On receiving Madison''s text, Tinsley stopped doing everything as she lost interest to do almost anything but worry.


    Her heart was racing as she saw how the press was wild outside the Wilson Oil Headquarter on her phone.


    She saw Kian and Madison walk away. Her heart broke watching the scene. She saw how sad and remorseful he looked.


    Her heart was crying for him, not being able to be with him, walking alongside him, giving her shoulder for his support, to lean on.


    Sitting on the edge of the balcony, she could not help but wonder how was he...what had happened inside the conference hall.


    Worst of all, she could not help but feel her to be the reason behind all of these...for all of his losses.


    ________________________________________________


    Madisonnded her Range Rover to Kian saying that she had two other cars to drive around.


    He only epted it after a heavy argument. Of course, Madison did not leave any grounds untouched to persuade him into epting it.


    So after giving him the Rover, she left for home in a taxi. He needed some time alone to think to start from where.


    He had a lot on his te at the moment. One of the major being to dispose of the news to his new wife...someone whom he had forgotten even existed until the moment he got the notice to empty his mansion.


    He had no clue or any idea how she was going to react but he cared very little about that.


    In these times, when he was alone and had no one by his side...where he was to be med solely for his poverty-stricken position at the moment...he wanted to me all of it on someone else other than him.


    It was seven in the evening and his mind was numb from drinking to bidding farewell to all his righteous senses.


    It was a low rated pub on the outskirts of the city. Ten years ago, he would never have set a foot in such a ce but here he was.


    Destiny yed people cruelly. Some people do bring bad luck to others and everyone they get close to.


    On this whole process, he could not pinpoint what his mistakes were...where did he go wrong??


    He just tried to rescue a woman whom he had started liking, who had no one except for him...what did he do wrong in that??


    Why was his aunt so angry about all of it?? Why did she get so cruel to the point of taking away hisst name??


    He was never the one to think and ponder about meaningless thoughts but with having nothing to think about but his losses and the alcohol getting heavy inside his system, he was having a moment of depression.


    He had no wish to go anywhere...or talk to anyone. All he wanted was to drink away in his grief and sorrow.


    A man that had lost his everything...everything that he had built for fifteen long years in a blip...even the strongest of soul would have doubts about themselves.


    Once a multi-billionaire, now left with nothing, not even one hundred thousand.


    A few couples of thousand dors, he had asked Madison to buy them a cosy apartment in the city.


    If it were to be him, he would not bother buying one but then he had a wife to look after now.


    And that was where all the problems lied, he would not be able to look at her and not be reminded that it was her...rescuing her cost him every other thing he held dear to himself.


    So he had no wish to go home and face her or talk to her. Would she even understand??


    Would she even get the depth of his sorrow??


    She obviously would not for she was born and raised in riches. How could she ever understand??


    He wanted to bang his head against the wall but he knew that one moment or other, he would have to face the reality...confront his wife.


    So withggy steps, he walked up to his car and started the engine to the mansion.


    On the way, his mind waspletely frozen and dense. He could just fall asleep anywhere but he needed to drive.


    When he did reach home safely, the guards came forward and helped him out. They carried him to the mansion.


    He stopped them when he saw his elegant wife, sitting on the dining table with a ss of rich wine, her face watching the ss.


    She was not aware of his arrival...too lost in her trains of thoughts. Kianzily walked up to her crossing the living room.


    The guards and the maids left the arena giving the couple their much-needed privacy.


    "Look at my wife, savouring the rich wine while her husband lost everything he owned!!"


    Kian''s voice made Tinsley turn around and look at him. He was drunk, his hairs were dishevelled, a cruel sad smile stered on his tired face.


    "Kian..."


    She called out for him with pain. She could not bear to look at him that way. So hopeless...so torn apart.


    "No no...do not touch me!!! Keep your hands away from me!!"


    He shoed away her hands when she attempted to hold him close. He was barely standing straight.


    "Let me, please...You will lose bnce."


    Tinsley pleaded, trying to get ahold of him. Madison did warn her things to be in not good condition but not that worst.


    "I have enough bad luck touching me, thank you!!"


    He blurted out and it hit Tinsley right away. It was the same thing herte father used to say whenever he lost a deal, looking at her with so much disgust as if she was the reason behind it.


    And now hearing from the man...who was her husband...whom she loved, it stroke her like a bullet.


    She looked away to control the tears of hurt and ache and walked forward to help him even though he protested.


    "You are drunk and speaking gibberish."


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 76 - I GOT YOU...BUT I LOST EVERYTHING ELSE!!!

    Tinsley struggled in carrying her drunk husband to their bedroom.


    His arms snaked around her waist and she held him close to her body as they both walked up the stairs.


    "Leave me...I can walk myself just fine."


    Kian said, pushing her aside on the midway. Tinsley held onto the railing of the stairs to hold her bnce.


    "Why are you being so rude to me?? What did I even do??"


    She asked with hurt evident in her voice. She was tired from listening to all his nagging.


    She was not sure what to do, how to calm him down. Was he already done with her??


    "Just leave me alone."


    He said, before trying tozily climb up the stairs. When he was about to lose bnce, Tinsley held him back.


    "That I cannot do...for now."


    She uttered and hoped that he would try to understand her at least. She was only here for help and nothing more.


    "What more do you want??"


    Kian questioned, getting tired of the woman who kept pressing onto him as if he was bound to her forever now.


    He wanted to be anywhere but with her. Her presence was disturbing to him. It reminded him of why he ended up losing every damn thing.


    "I want nothing...I want only for you to be safe. "


    Tinsley mumbled, tears flowing freely down her eyes. She did not get it why he was behaving like that to her.


    Just a night ago, they were happy and making love, only for him to turn against herpletely the other day...as if this man was not her husband but apletely new different man in his body.


    "Nothing is safe anymore now that I have you, my dear."


    Kian cruelly said,ughing out loud. Hisughter echoing in the manner.


    "You are my undoing. They really do say it right...you are a bad omen, Tinsley Rutherford. "


    He went on venting his anger and frustrations out at her. She cried silently, eyeing him and stood on her ground.


    "Any man...any man could have got you...why me?? Whye to me??? Why cross paths with me?? Huhh??"


    Kian stepped down and held on her jaw tightly, raising her face up to his height. His eyes roamed around her crying red face.


    "Did you lie to me about us sharing a past too?? To get me acquainted with you??"


    Tinsley remained mum. She had nothing to say to him. She was not going to take his words to heart because he did not mean it...mean any of those.


    He was drunk out of his mind and that had led to him being losing any righteous sense.


    Any drunkard man would do the same...they would let loose their anger and anguish to thest person they see before losing their consciousness.


    "Answer me, goddamnit!!!"


    He screamed, making Tinsley jerk backwards. She was astonished and shocked by his sudden outburst.


    "I have never....lied to you."


    She cried out with a whimper. She had never seen him snap out at her like that at all.


    "I lost all...everything. Do you know that??"


    "So what do you want me to do about it, Kian??? I m clueless here...I m trying to understand but I can''t when you dump it all on me..."


    Tinsley spoke up. He wanted her to speak so she did.


    She walked forward and held his face even though he tried to sho away her touch.


    "I love you, Kian...it does not matter to me anything till I have you...all I ever wanted is you..."


    She let out, staring deep into his brown orbs. She wanted him to listen to her...hear her heart out.


    "You are not what I wanted..."


    He softly voiced it out, looking straight at her. It pierced her heart like a sharp needle but she stood on her ground, bearing it all.


    "I lost her....the very close person to my mother...because of you. "


    Tinsley could sense his pain. He was grieving not only because of the materials but also for he had lost someone irreceable...his aunt...Valeria.


    The woman who raised him held him, promised to be with him forever...she left him for her.


    It was then at that moment, she could understand where all of these wasing from.


    No matter how much she tried to deny it..deny that she could fill every kind of void with her love in his heart and soul...there would always be one void she could never fill and it was Valeria.


    He was deeply hurt by her actions. She did not only stop at taking away everything he had built and lived for fifteen years but also took away her name from his.


    How crueller could it get???


    She could then get why he was ming her and perhaps it was indeed true...her arrival in his life had cost him everything and everyone else in his life.


    She could not get hurt...she could not perceive to be the only hurt one here. It was him...him who was hurt more than anyone.


    Valeria was the next...she lost her son...for her. She came in between all of them and look what happened.


    "I m sorry...I m so sorry."


    She cried out, could not be able to stop anymore. She had no idea what else she could do.


    How could she ease his pain a little? She wanted to help him...help him in even the slightest way possible.


    His hurting was killing her soul very deep. She could not bear to look at him like that...a tough man who was praised by all now at his lowest.


    A strong man when they get hurt...when they have never been defeated...or lost nothing at all in their life but when they do...they break.


    And it was her worst fear...she could not let ite to that.


    "I got you but I lost everything...you will always be the reminder of it and I will remind you of how you took everything away from a man...who wished nothing but your safety. "

 Chapter 77 - I PROMISE TO RETURN EVERYTHING BACK TO YOU ONE DAY!!

    Tinsley watched him fall asleep on their bed in thete midnight.


    She stroked his head as he dozed off peacefully without a hint of worry or disturbances that he had to go through the day.


    Her cell phone started to ring and she turned around to check who it was calling her in the middle of the night.


    It was none other than Madison and so she stood up to answer it not before bending down to ce a chaste kiss on his forehead and walked away.


    "Hello, Madison??"


    She responded on reaching the adjoining balcony to their bedroom. The cool breeze hitting her face.


    "Tinsley....is everything alright??? I have been calling you and Kian like a zillion times now."


    Madison''s voice sted out through the phone from the other side. She had been trying to get ahold of both of them. She knew that Kian would be drunk by the time he reached so she wanted to warn Tinsley.


    "I m sorry...my phone was in silent mode and well, Kian is sleeping."


    Tinsley replied and avoided the talk of the drama that went through between them just an hour ago.


    "I m so sorry for everything. I never intended it to happen..."


    "You do not have to apologise."


    Tinsley stopped her in the midway. It was bound toe out to the public in one way or the other way.


    "I do. Both of you might say it I do not but it''s my carelessness and recklessness that got you both there...I can''t sleep knowing what you must be going through right now and how I wish I could help you both...especially you.


    After what you have gone through and now again, these vile people areing in your way to happiness...both of your happiness..."


    Madison was angry at herself and did not know in which way she could correct the mistake of her life.


    She was happy to know that Tinsley was finally going to be happy and safe. There was always the guilt that was there day and night since the day she knocked in with Tinsley on the street and the condition she saw her in.


    She could not help but believe if she had not pushed Tinsley out of her house...none of these would have happened at all.


    "He is not happy..."


    Tinsley mumbled, recalling what he told her, straight to her face. His eyes reflecting disgust, distaste and hate for her.


    Gone were the looks of adoration, love and protectiveness for her.


    "Of course he is not...he just lost everything he ever owned, Tinsley. You need to understand and stand by him...support him in rebuilding his position back in society. "


    Madison exined and Tinsley shook her head in positive understanding every wording out of Madi''s mouth.


    "You need to be his backbone...you are his wife after all now. "


    At that, Tinsley could not help the sob that came out of her. She could not stop the cry when she reminisced how he dered her to be his ill omen.


    And to be his wife??? Would he even look her at the same way again??


    "What is wrong Tinsley??"


    Madison asked, listening to the faint sobs from the other side.


    "It''s...its nothing really...nothing to be concerned about. "


    Tinsley said, rubbing her tears away.


    "You need to be strong. I know how hard it is but you need to be strong for the both of you. "


    Madison was trying her best to givefort to her with her words and she had no idea if it was working or not but she was trying hard.


    Tinsley sobbed as she could not help it. How could she be strong when she was the reason behind all of his miseries??


    How could she act and y his saviour when she was the ck crow in his story of life??


    "Tinsley??? Are you fine?? Did something happen??"


    Madison implored, concerned. Did something happen...bad?? Did Kian do something to her??


    "Did he do something??"


    "No...no...he can never hurt me. "


    Tinsley was quick to defend him. He could never hurt intentionally...even though his words did unknown to him.


    "Well...then...I only called for you to start packing your and his clothes...do not take the signature ones...leave all of that behind...just pack the usual ones. "


    Madison instructed her and Tinsley followed them one by one. She marched inside the closet to get the clothes ready and packed.


    She walked around the room getting their stuff ready to leave early in the morning.


    She did not want to see another one of the houses she called home to be robbed off by those cunning officials, taking everything away.


    Most of all she did not want him to see that. How heartbreaking and sad that sight was to encounter. She did not want him to witness that.


    Once done, she stepped on their bed and slept on it. Her mind was full of thoughts... non-ending...never-ending.


    Just when she thought her life was getting better...she had to be so gut-wrenchingly wrong.


    She was living in a mess and now she had pulled him into one along with her. How could she ever repay everything back to him??


    On this bed,st night, they were so happy and making love. And today he was drunk out of his mind, having lost everything and she was the reason behind it.


    Even before they could try and fix this marriage, it was doomed...doomed from the beginning.


    She moved closer to his side and out of instinct, he raised his head and hugged her as she did the same, resting his head on her breathing chest.


    She leaned forward and kissed on his hair, running her fingers over his hair as he hummed in his sleep.


    That made her smile. He looked so boyish and pure at that moment, deprived of all the troubles of the world in his sleep.


    "I promise to return everything back to you, one day."


    She said, sealing the promise with a kiss.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 78 - LEAVING THE PACE WE ONCE CALED HOME...

    The next morning when the rays of sunlight prated their way inside their room, Kian woke up first with a pounding headache.


    He fell back on the soft surface he was resting on from before and a hush sound of pain escaped from her mouth.


    It was only then Kian turned back to see where he was resting and saw Tinsley holding her chest in pain.


    He hit hard with his stiff head. He did not realize that it was on her chest he was resting.


    "I m so sorry..."


    He uttered out in his morning deep voice. Tinsley shook her head indicating to him that she was fine...alright.


    "I did not see that...I did not realize..."


    He went on, not knowing how to help her. She was tightly holding onto her right breast, trying to ease the pain.


    It was a sudden blow and she did not expect it toe at all.


    "Should I bring ice??"


    "I...I will be fine.."


    She smiled at him, happy to see him concerned about her. At least he still cared about her afterst night.


    And that warmed her heart. Despite the pain, she was happy as she could not stop the genuine smile appearing on her face.


    And that only made Kian think what was there to smile about this. Was she faking hurt to get his attention??


    "Then get ready soon, I will drop you in the new apartment and head to work. "


    That was all he said, before getting off from the bed and disappearing inside the bathroom.


    She did not know what caused him to react that way. How could he change from being concerned about her to being cold in seconds??


    Regardless, she rubbed the area of her chest and got up to freshen up in another bathroom in the guestroom.


    When she returned, he was already dressed in one of his suit. He was busy on his phone so she knocked at the edge of the door, to get his attention.


    He looked up at her and roamed his eyes from top to bottom of her body. It made her feel hot as she gulped the saliva down her throat and walked up to him.


    "What is this??"


    He inquired to the ss of drink she was holding to give it to him. It was for his hungover.


    "It will help you in getting rid of the headache."


    She said, offering him the ss of juice. He did not ept it right away but took it regardlesster after a brief pause.


    She smiled at that and went inside the walk-in closet to recollect the bags she had packedst night.


    "Do not pack the expensive clothes."


    He let put, halfway drinking the juice, when he saw her walking inside the closet.


    He knew that was going to disappoint her. She grew up wearing those signature clothing''s and parting from them was going to hurt her.


    Tinsley came out of the closet, with a smile on her clear face, devoid of any makeup.


    "I already have packed our clothes...the ones we will need. "


    She answered and then strode out of the room. Kian walked inside the closet to check what she had packed and whatnot.


    He was a little taken aback when he saw more than half of the dresses were hanging on the rack.


    What did she pack then?? He thought


    All the gowns, the night wears, the skirts, tops, jewellery, everything was in their ce, untouched.


    When it was time to leave, Kian got out of the room which he had been calling his bedroom for more than two decades and climbed down the stairs.


    There he saw Tinsley, down in the living room, talking and sharing a hug with each of the workers.


    All of them were heartbroken to see the master and mistress leaving the house even though the mistress had only spent a night in it.


    Marry was thest who moved forward to hug Tinsley. They had got closer yesterday when she was teaching the mistress the basic household chores.


    "I will miss you."


    Marry mumbled, with tears in her eyes. Tinsley rubbed them off with her hands and replied the same.


    "You have no idea how much more I will do to you."


    Kian could not part his eyes from the scene. It was something unusual. He had never seen an heiress to be so close and intimate with the household staff, treating them with so much kindness even when Tinsley had known them only for a day.


    Tinsley looked up to see her husband standing on the edge of the staircase. The smile she had on her face faded when the moment fromst night reflected before her on the staircase.


    Kian noticed that...how her smile vanished from her face when their eyes engaged.


    He looked away and then stepped out of the stairs, picking up the bags from the floor and walked out of there.


    Tinsley stood there all alone, watching him go out without her. She shared onest look at the workers and at the house as a whole.


    Perhaps it was for the best, she had no best memories in the house apart from them making love for the very first time in the bedroom.


    She slowly strode forward, leaving behind a part of her life there, interlocked in the house.


    Kian was waiting inside the Range Rober with a straight face. She took onest look at it from outside...reminiscing the time when he bought her here for the first time as his wife.


    Life was full of uncertainty and confusion back then but she was happy that she was married to the man she loved.


    So leaving it did not change one thing. Life was still full of chaos, a never-ending list of troubles awaiting them in the near future but still, she was leaving it with the man she loved.


    Whatever mighte to their way...she believed firmly, they would work it out together.


    With that, she stepped inside the car and Kian drove them away from the ce he used to call home once upon a time.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 79 - YOU ARE MINE!!!

    Kian checked his phone where Madison had texted him the address of their new apartment.


    It was only two hours drive away from the city. Apartments outside the city were cheaper than the ones closer to the cities.


    Throughout the journey, he kept his eyes straight on the road while Tinsley could not help herself from stealing small nces of her husband from time to time.


    He did not know but the silence was her kind of hell. It gave her anxiety and in the car with none of them making any attempt to talk or even turn the radio on maybe...she was getting restless.


    The small drizzle was the highlight of the weather. Kian did observe the faint peeks of him, his wife was taking. He had no idea why.


    He did not know deep down how to approach her after what had urred between them.


    He had lost his mind in the alcohol and said stuff he had no intention to ever speak of. But alcohol does that to you and you can''t do a thing about it.


    A night before, they were all rxed and fuzzy and now they were finding it difficult to even initiate a talk between them.


    Tinsley did not think twice more and leaned forward to turn the radio on swiftly. She needed to do it or she would go crazy.


    Kian saw it but decided to ignore it. The radio station sted inside and sadly the first thing to be aired before a good morning song was the nation talk of Kian Randall resigning from the Wilson Oil and industries.


    Immediately, Tinsley was about to turn it off but Kian held her back. He held her hand, stopping her from reaching the radio.


    "Our sources tell us it is indeed true, Mr Randall is married to Ms Rutherford for a day now and it is this union that led to the resignation. "


    The host of the morning radio talk show went on. It made Tinsley immensely ufortable having to listen to that. It was something she wanted to avoid.


    Kian continued to hold her hand, stopping her from trying to shut the damn thing off as he continued to drive with the other hand.


    "They got it wrong."


    Kian muttered under his breath as he drove around the turn.


    "You are no longer Ms Rutherford. Mrs Randall...get that correct! She is Mrs Randall!!"


    He yelled thest part finally punching the radio off and it broke. Tinsley was shocked to witness that move as she jerked backwards on her seat.


    And right at that moment, Kian pulled in the car, the brakes making a screeching noise on the road for applying the breaks too hard.


    Kian got rid of his seatbelt, Tinsley kept looking at him, too afraid to ask what the hell he was even doing.


    He got out of the car and strode towards her side of the door. Tinsley kept looking at him. They were parked outside the main City Road.


    He opened her door and pulled her outside. Tinsley did not pose a fight as she let him pull her out.


    He kicked the car door close and swirled Tinsley around, pasting her back to the car and mming his lips against hers.


    His kiss was rough as he held her face tightly, not letting her move. She pulled his hair as she tried to breathe in between the long punishing kiss.


    He bit onto her lower lip, drawing blood from it as Tinsley moaned in pain and bought her hands to his chest, hitting on him, trying to push him away.


    She gasped for air, running out of oxygen in her lungs. But he was not letting go of her yet.


    "I...I can''t breathe... I can''t..."


    She whimpered in between the kiss and it was only then he let go of her...pulling his body away from hers.


    The source of warmth vanished from her skin as she inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying to breathe in...closing her eyes.


    Kian watched her struggling to breathe from his ministrations upon her. His eyes roamed up and down her body...her chest heaving up and down.


    She looked delectable dressed in the simple white frock, knee-length, now half soaked from the drizzle.


    "What was that for??"


    Tinsley''s question bought him back to life. She eyed him for an answer for his action.


    Her lower lip bruished from the rough kissing and a red spot was visible on it.


    "Marking what''s rightfully mine."


    Was his reply...simple and short. Tinsley could not understand it at all. Could notprehend what was actually going on in that mind of his.


    Was he having an identity crisis?? A crisis of trying to hold back onto things that belonged to him??


    A minimal pause and silence in between apart from the thunderstorm sound, they both resumed looking into each other.


    Tinsley broke the stance by stepping forward, erasing the distance between their body.


    She wrapped her arms around his neck and he automatically held her tightly on her waist, pulling her closer...leaving no space between them at all...her plump breasts smashed against his hard chest.


    "I m yours...always and forever yours..."


    She said, boring her eyes deep into his, trying hardest that her words which she meant them with all the life inside her...he got them.


    She dipped down to im his lips. Kian opened his mouth, giving her ess. She thrust her tongue inside his.


    It was for the first time, he was letting her take control of the kiss. She smooched him hard under the light rainfall transforming into heavy ones.


    "Never forget that."


    She whispered, pecking him for thest time, stroking the wet hairs on his head. Kian squeezed the flesh of her waist indicating he got her message clear and straight.


    "You are mine..."


    "I m yours..."


    She let out right after him, nodding at him....eyes still on each other as the rain wet their clothes.


    "Although they did get it wrong, you are Mrs Randall, not Ms Rutherford. "


    Kian announced and that made Tinsley giggle out making him smile too. He pecked her onest time before letting her inside the car.

 Chapter 80 - COULD SHE BE...??

    "Why do all the records she has are gay??"


    Tinsley implored, going through the record collection of Madison that was inside the car.


    She did not want to listen to the radio but some sweet songs and here none were the right ones to y in the morning.


    Kian shrugged in response having no idea why so Madison ever owned only records that sang gaily.


    "Could she be...??"


    Tinsley suddenly dropped that and Kian turned his head to look at his wife, having a funny expression on her face...a look of confusion and shock.


    Yet he did not give a word response and just shook his head in negative indicating he had no clue...none at all.


    Tinsley kept the record back in their ce. There was nothing to y anymore but sulk in silence.


    But she was happy at least she and Kian were back to talking terms again. He seemed more livelier than before.


    She picked his left palm on the steering wheel and bought it up to her lips to nt a kiss on them, eliciting a small smile on her husband''s face.


    "You smell good."


    She said, bringing his palm closer to her neck to keep smelling it. Kian pulled her hand to his face, nting a kiss on the back of her hand...their hands intertwined.


    "You taste good."


    That made Tinsleyugh out loud as Kian continued to drop wet kisses all over the skin of her palm...she tried to pull her hand away from him but his hold was tight and stronger than all her futile attempts of freeing her hand.


    "You are just hungry."


    "Maybe...I m??"


    Kian epted her presumption. Tinsley snickered, liking this moment they were sharing together.


    "Which also reminds me that we had no breakfast and I m so hungry right now...I could eat you."


    He said thest part, looking straight into her eyes. His tone made a shiver run down her spine.


    She pressed her thighs together as her cheeks got tainted to red, trying very hard to maintain herposure.


    Suddenly the atmosphere inside the Range Rover got hot and bothering...troubling too.


    Kian pulled over and it made Tinsley look outside why did they stop. She wondered.


    He got out of the car and walked over to her side, opening the door for her as she got out too.


    "Let''s have a real breakfast..."


    He said and it was only then Tinsley noticed the street side cafe by the corner on the other side of the town road.


    "...before I eat you."


    He whispered it near her ear, dropping a kiss on her earlobe before holding her hand and pulling her with him.


    When they entered the cafe, she was a hot mess from his talks. The ce was not that crowded as a city cafe would have been at the moment.


    Kian led her to a table, secluded from the rest of the open spaces of the cafe. A private corner, facing the garden outside.


    "What would you like to order??"


    Kian asked, breaking her reverie of thoughts. She gave him a clueless look in response.


    "Try to get some air...I will order for us."


    He said, liking how his small disturbing talks had such an effect on her. He pecked her lips and walked away to the counter to order something for the both of them.


    Tinsley could not decipher the true cause for his sudden mood change. He was happy with her...at the moment it seemed so.


    She could tell by then that he could be bipr but it did not matter to her as long as they continued to be like this after every disturbing fight they would have.


    After all, what were marriages if no fight in them?? The concept of ideal matrimony with no fight and quarrel between the couple was an unheard theory.


    So not giving much thought to it, she decided to live alone. She loved him with all her heart and it was no doubt...he liked her too if not love her for the time being.


    His possessiveness for her answered a lot of questions. It gave her the proof that he still needed...wanted her in his life regardless of what he had told her the other night.


    "Here is your coffee and vani cake."


    Kian said, dropping her cup of coffee and cake on the white small table and sat on the other side, facing her, drinking away his ck coffee.


    Tinsley mumbled a small thank you and cut a slice of her cake with the fork, eating it.


    It tasted good, freshly baked and was hot inside her mouth. She did not realize the vani stain on her lips.


    Kian leaned forward, making her halt in her action as she eyes him with confusion, wondering his sudden intrusion on her space with an open mouth.


    He rubbed off the cream from her lower lip with his thumb before sucking the thumb clean with his tongue making Tinsley gulp the cake inside her mouth down awkwardly.


    "You had it all over your lips."


    He pointed out, liking to watch her childish behaviour of eating the cake without a care of the world.


    Tinsley parted her eyes off from his mischievous ones and looked down on the half-eaten cake piece, taking another slice with the fork and eating away.


    "How far are we??"


    She asked regarding the distance of their new apartment. They had driven for an hour by then. Even though the city traffic was hectic even in the morning time.


    "Just an ally now."


    He answered. When he asked for Madison to book them a private ce, far from the city...he did not know Madi would book them one-two hours drive away from the city.


    "Why are you not eating any solid food??"


    She implored, being done with her cake. Kian smiled at her.


    "I don''t have anything other than my coffee in the morning. "


    It was something new she was learning about her husband and she smiled back at him, noting that point in her mind forever.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 81 - "YOU SEEM TO KNOW A LOT ABOUT TRADITIONS! "

    "What is your favourite cake vour??"


    "Vani. "


    "So I did guess it correct."


    Kian said, smiling proudly, in Tinsley''s direction as he continued to drive them to their new apartment.


    "Although I do like other vours too vani is my gem."


    Tinsley mumbled, loving this small cosy conversation they were having. It was a pep talk. They were both learning each other likes and dislikes.


    Even though she did remember his likes and dislikes from childhood but listening to his answer now...most of them had changed.


    "Since you made it very clear, you do not like sweet stuff, I will not ask your favourite cake vour."


    Kian nodded in approval at his wife''s remark. It was no use of asking him that.


    "You get me so quickly."Kian chuckled.


    "Just like you get me."


    Tinsley blushed, replying the same to him.


    And without them realizing, they were finally at their destination after a long-ass conversation which indeed was needed urgently.


    Kian parked the Rover around the neighbourhood and Tinsley looked outside of the car window, analyzing the ce.


    It was calm...peaceful. City noises no more could be heard. The air was fresh and lots of green trees.


    The building was a three-storey one. It looked spacious from the far. Tinsley wondered which floor they were on.


    Kian opened her side of the door breaking her train of thoughts and led her outside.


    "So what do you think??"


    Kian asked her, looking at his wife, trying to decode her thoughts behind that expression she wore on her face.


    "It''s... it''s far from the city...private and peaceful..."


    After a moment of silence, Tinsley struggled with words in her mouth to speak but atst, she did it and hoped that Kian would not be upset with her unenthusiastic answer.


    "Do you like it near the city??"


    Kian implored. He could see that she was not having that mood she had in the car a while ago.


    "I grew up in the city."


    Tinsley replied, smiling at him. It was then Kian understood that it was a new ce for her and she would need time to get adapted to it.


    "Don''t worry...this ce is only temporary."


    Kian said, trying to make her see that they were not forever going to stay here. At least not after he figured the situation out.


    "After I have things sorted out in work...I will buy you one big mansion like the ones you are used to living in."


    It was his reply that made Tinsley turn around sideways to look at her husband.


    She did not mind living in a hut till it was with him. She had no care about if it was a big ass mansion or small one-roomed apartment.


    "I don''t care where we reside till I have you..."


    Kian could see the sincerity in his wife''s eyes. It warmed his spirit hearing her response.


    He could not help but pull her closer to his body, snaking his arms around her waist. Tinsley rested both her hands on his shoulder, smiling up at him.


    "You have some sweetest things to say...don''t you??"


    He questioned, leaning forward to nt a chaste kiss on her button nose.


    "I only learned from the best. "


    Tinsley uttered, running her fingers over his hair. They both bent down to kiss each other.


    The kiss was sweet and smooth. Tinsley pulled onto his small hairs as Kian deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue inside her mouth.


    It tasted sweet just like her...the smell of vani made him smile at her. Tinsley could not hold back the giggle on realizing what he was smiling at.


    "I hope you do not mind the sweetness of my mouth. "


    She mumbled, in between the kiss as Kian captured her lower lip multiple times.


    "Not at all, Mrs Randall."


    He shook his head in the negative, pecking her lips, licking them, wetting her lipstick with his saliva, which Tinsley licked it off with her tongue and the sight made Kian restless inside.


    "And I like the sound of that."


    He said, eyeing her lips even though he just kissed them. It was never enough. Tinsley could not help but bite on her lips as she saw how his eyes were staring at her.


    The sound of the thunderstorm broke their reverie. It made themugh, looking up at the sky.


    It looked like it was going to rain once again and this time it might be the heavy ones.


    "Let''s get you inside before you get wet."


    The double meaning behind his words made Tinsley blush furiously and Kian could not wait for them to get inside so that he could lick those goddamn red strawberry-like cheeks.


    They both walked towards the building, holding hands as the wind blew stronger.


    The lift in the building was not working so they had to take the stairs. Tinsley got rid of her heels as they were ufortable to walk in up so many stairs. Their apartment was on the third floor.


    In about ten minutes times, they both stood in front of the main door. Tinsley nced at him, smiling at him.


    Kian unlocked the door with the key that Madison had handed him yesterday.


    The door creaked opened and before Tinsley could walk in, she was pulled backwards and flipped up, she shrieked nervously, totally not expecting her husband to pick her up like a bag of potatoes as if she weighed nothing.


    He held her up in bridal style, staring into her green eyeballs as they reflected excitement, nervousness.


    "It''s your first time...don''t you know the tradition??"


    Kian teased her as he walked inside both of them and kicked the door closed behind them.


    Tinsley could not help the chuckle. He was being so corny. She for once forgot that she would ever get to face this witty funny side of him like he was in his boyhood.


    "You seem to know a lot about traditions. "


    Tinsley muttered, giggling, wrapping her arms around his neck, dropping a soft kiss on the exposed skin.


    "Oh!! That I do, Mrs Randall and the next one is the christening of this house which includes me fucking you in every nook and corner of this ce."


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 82 - BREAKING THE PEACE OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD!!!

    Kian stood between her legs, cupping her face, kissing her furiously as she sat on the small table in the middle of the living room.


    One of his hands slipped behind her back and opened the zipper of the dress as he ran his palm up and down the exposed skin of her back.


    Tinsley moaned into the kiss as she took control of it. Kian rested both of his hands back on her shoulder and dipped down, peppering kisses down the length of her neck, her naked cor bones.


    Tinsley tilted her head backwards, giving him more ess. She was getting crazy in need of him.


    Kian dragged the dress down with his hands, freeing her naked breasts for his eyes to feast on.


    The dress rested around her waist and Tinsley looked at him eyeing her with so much desire that it burned her to be touched by him...hold by him.


    The cold rainy breeze from the opened window hardened her already pebbled nipples under his crude lustrous eyes.


    She was looking at him...she could feel his hot breath over her skin while his eyes were dining over her milky skinned tits.


    The wait was making her restless fidgety and annoyed. She wanted his warm hot lips around her erect nipples.


    So she held onto his neck and pulled him in. It was a sudden movement that Kian did not expect.


    "I need you."


    She mouthed when he opposed her movement and held onto his ground. The look on her face was needy and irritated for not giving her what she asked of him.


    "I need you to suck me."


    Tinsley was surprised at her own boldness...how easily she was voicing out what she wanted him for.


    And Kian was liking this side of his wife. She was gettingfortable with him enough to let him know what she wanted from him.


    He was notining at all but he had other ns with her today. He missed something the other night when they first made love.


    He had kissed and licked every part of her but not her feminine core. And today he was aiming only for that.


    Kian pushed her back on the table and red up her skirt to her thighs, spending them apart for him to see her drenched underwear.


    "I want to suck you down there."


    He said and pulled her panty down, revealing her glistening wet pussy , shining from her wet juices.


    When Tinsley did not show any signs of protest or difort, Kian dived in. His nose smelled the scent of her arousal and it made him so hard for her that it was paining him.


    His hunger to eat her...taste her...make here undone with his only mouth and tongue was intense.


    He blew a sweet kiss on the centre of her core and Tinsley jumped up. It was like an electric shock.


    "Stay still."


    Kian ordered as he held her steady in one position with one of his hands, holding on her waist tightly, squeezing the flesh.


    With his right forefinger and thumb, he parted her innerbia to get a more clear view of her honey hole.


    It was not all clean. Her pussy had faint hairs on them and he was notining. He liked the fact that she was a natural.


    "I forgot to go to the saloon."


    Came her embarrassed reply when she realized she had forgotten to keep herself clean downstairs.


    Under the hot gazes of her husband, she had forgotten about every damn another thing that existed in the world.


    "And you will never shave either."


    Kian''s head boiled wondering how many men had the pleasure of eyeing what was rightfully only his to stare.


    The possessive side of him was in a rage. How dare she showcases herself like that in a saloon??


    "How many??"


    He asked and Tinsley frowned in confusion, not understanding what he actually meant.


    "How many men had shaved you??"


    Ahh!!! It was only then she got it. He was jealous. She could see it in his eyes. They were burning with jealousy and she was so enjoying the view.


    "I don''t remember?"


    She pretended to not knowing and it made Kian more furious. Damn!! This woman was ying him.


    "Do not y with me wife."


    He muttered as he dipped down and pulled her innerbia in between his lips tightly making Tinsley moan in both pain and pleasure. It was something new for her.


    "Do not test me."


    Kian pressed, this time recing his lips with his teeth and that got Tinsley speaking.


    "No men...never a man. My parents would kill me..."


    Kian let go of her and kissed the skin making her moan out in pleasure. His light, wet kisses were soothing her pain from his former biting act.


    "This pussy is mine....and nobody can even see it...you understand??"


    Kian interviewed to which Tinsley nodded her head. She was not herself anymore. His warm breath was constantly hitting her core, making her so wet that the wetness was flowing down her inner thighs.


    "My pussy...only mine. And only I get to watch it, kiss it and worship it."


    Kian mumbled to himself, staring at her moistened core as if he was possessed.


    And right after he bent down to eat her core the way he described her. Tinsley pulled his hair as he went deeper.


    He used his fingers to part her inner pussy lips and licked her clit making her jumpy and he groaned out.


    His lips were wet from her thick juices and he slipped one finger inside her core...Tinsley shrieked, pulling his small hair harder.


    He added another finger and the sound of her juices as he pushed in and out of her glistening hole was heard in the living room apart from the pitter-patter noises of the rain outside.


    Pulling his fingers out, this time he drove his tongue inside instead and that made her eyeballs roll under her socket as he rubbed her clit and she came screaming and cursing her husband''s bloody name, breaking the peace of their new neighbourhood.

    He raised his forefinger up and started tracing her body from the middle. Tinsley breathed in sharply. She could feel the sweet moistness in between her legs shortly.


    "Why did you do it??"


    He asked, encircling his thumb and forefinger on her turgid right nipple. Tinsley closed her eyes and opened them to see him again.


    "What did I do??"


    She implored not knowing what he was questioning about. It was hard to keep attention when he was ying and teasing her hardened buds.


    "You kicked me in thest minute..."


    It was then Tinsley understood what he was asking.


    "I did not want to get pregnant...I do not have the pills."


    She muttered, looking down. Kian felt warmness in his heart knowing how much she cared about what he told her before.


    "You know??"


    "What??" She questioned, looking at his darkened eyeballs.


    "You could have just let me empty in you..."


    Kian said, parting her pink lips and thrusting his middle finger inside.


    "I...I did not want to eat my half-child."


    And that was it..ughter erupted out of him and filled the room in it.

    "You...you hurt me...I asked you to stop but...you for...forced..."


    "...I never forced myself on you..."


    Kian was very quick to cut her in the middle. He might have been rough with her but never forcing...never.


    "You did...I asked you to stop but you did not..."


    "I could be rough but never force myself upon you..."


    Kian denied, shaking his head and so did, Tinsley, standing up, shaking her head furiously.


    "I had to scream to stop you, Kian!!"


    She yelled. Kian also stood up and they were both face to face, both standing on their ground.


    "You...you bit me...so hard and then you continued even when I asked you to stop...and.."


    "I do not always like soft vani sex, Tinsley...I like it rough most of the time...maybe try getting used to it."


    Kian spat, not liking the fact of being used of something like forcing himself on a woman...and that too on his wife...


    Tinsley was beyond frantic at him and mad for asking her to get used to it. How dare he ask her that??


    She opened the button of her t-shirt and Kian just eyed her weirdly, not getting what exactly she was trying to do at the moment.


    Tinsley speedily opened all the top buttons and opened the shirt to reveal her bra d chest. She pulled her sets of breasts out from the bra to show him what exactly he did.


    "What do you have to say now??"


    <strong></strong>________________________________________________


    "If this is what you like...do not ever fuckinge near me."


    She spat on his face.

    <strong>I MIGHT START UPDATING 1 CHAP AGAIN...2 UPDATES IS USELESS....NOT ADVANTAGEOUS FOR ME ANYWAY!!</strong>

 Chapter 83 - "WHAT DID I DO??? "

    Kian raised his wife''s smooth slim legs and rested them on his shoulders as he positioned himself inside her.


    Tinsleyy there in anticipation on the table and gasped when he entered her in one stroke.


    Her back hit the table as he began to thrust inside her with a speed of urgency.


    She could not hold the moans back and it made her more excited to hear him groaning for her.


    The sound of their skin pping against each other, the table rumbling noises alongside their cryings of pleasure were heard.


    She held onto his hands that were tightly holding onto her waist, sneezing the flesh, stopping the blood flow as he rammed inside her.


    His face was red, sweat beats dancing on his forehead as he moved furiously in and out of her.


    The sight before him...herying all stark naked on the table as he pushed himself in and out of her soaking cunt still dressed himself was making him restless.


    Tinsley was liking this hard and rough fuck. He was not showing any kind of mercy to her and her red swollen pussy.


    Her breasts pped against each other at the speed of his movement. It made Kian reach out to them.


    "Hold''em together for me."


    He voiced out and Tinsley obliged him right away. She let go holding onto his hands and squeezed her boobs together as she moaned out...abiding by hismands was making her more wetter than before.


    "Pull your nipples."


    Tinsley was breathing high as she encircled her right hardened nipple with her forefinger and thumb, pulling them making Kian groan out at the view.


    "Do it harder...harder baby."


    His words were hoarse and rough...evidence of tiredness from ramming inside her for a long time now.


    Tinsley pinched her erect buds harder and it was her breaking point as she was about to let go herself but Kian stopped her.


    "No no no...don''t you daree. "


    Kian warned her with a dreadful face. Tinsley''s face was red with frustration as if she would cry anytime now if he did not allow her toe.


    "Don''t you daree, Tinsley...don''t you fucking dare..."


    Kian kept warning her as his movement got sloppier than before and she felt him pulsating inside her...she knew that he was close and so she too moved her hips against his.


    It made him so hot watching her move. It was an instant euphoric moment for him as he shot himself inside her cursing and groaning but Tinsley kicked him away from her.


    "What the fuck!!!"


    Kian yelled, totally not understanding what was that for. Why the hell would she pull that stunt in a moment like this??


    He was furious, the nerve in his forehead was popping and visible.


    Tinsley was quick to get off from the table and sit down before her husband as she took him inside her mouth, shutting the next wording out of him.


    He had no idea what was her intention but he could not help himself in grunting out in contentment of her warm got mouth.


    She could not suck his entire length inside her mouth as he was big so she rubbed the leftover skin with her hand.


    And within a second, he wasing almost down her throat but she pulled him out and jerked his ejactor all over her chest.


    Kian cursed put at the sight of his wife, on her knees, hise all over her tits. He rubbed the tip of his penis over her nipples painting it white over the redness of the flesh.


    He did not waste another minute and picked her and put her back on the table and got down her.


    She cried out when he worked his both tongue and fingers together down her core.


    Her fingers pulled onto his hair harder as his action got rougher and brutal. The friction between his fingers and her juices could be heard making a slurping noise.


    She screamed out in ecstasy, pushing his head inside her when he bit down on her clit.


    "Oh!! Fuck!!! Fuck!!!"


    She came undone on his mouth and fell down on the table making a thud sound. Kian did not let go of her yet as he continued to lick her clean, drinking everything she was offering to him.


    Her thighs and legs vibrated at the intensity of the orgasm...her body shook as if she just got electrocuted.


    Kian stood up, getting rid of his clothes and joined her on the table as they both stared up at the white ceiling trying to get their breath back to normal...their heart still beating like a horse racing.


    The post-sex bliss hit them like a wave of the ocean hitting the shore, sshing water droplets everywhere.


    Kian turned on his side to have a look at his alluring wife. Tinsley tilted her head to do the same.


    They both did not say a word for a while and just stared at each other in silence. The pitter-patter sound of rain showering outside was the only noise that could be heard in the background.


    She was so beautiful, lying all in her naked glory. Her milky white skin painted with his reddish-purple bite marks, her rosy erect nipples getting hard under his wicked stare.


    He raised his forefinger up and started tracing her body from the middle. Tinsley breathed in sharply. She could feel the sweet moistness in between her legs shortly.


    "Why did you do it??"


    He asked, encircling his thumb and forefinger on her turgid right nipple. Tinsley closed her eyes and opened them to see him again.


    "What did I do??"


    She implored not knowing what he was questioning about. It was hard to keep attention when he was ying and teasing her hardened buds.


    "You kicked me in thest minute..."


    It was then Tinsley understood what he was asking.


    "I did not want to get pregnant...I do not have the pills."


    She muttered, looking down. Kian felt warmness in his heart knowing how much she cared about what he told her before.


    "You know??"


    "What??" She questioned, looking at his darkened eyeballs.


    "You could have just let me empty in you..."


    Kian said, parting her pink lips and thrusting his middle finger inside.


    "I...I did not want to eat my half-child."


    And that was it..ughter erupted out of him and filled the room in it.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 84 - "AND I M VERY SORE!!!"

    They both wereying on their sideways, holding each other face, softly kissing each other lips.


    "Hmm..."


    Tinsley hummed into the kiss, cupping him as Kian''s hand slipped down, resting on her breasts, squeezing the right one under his palm.


    The dried semen on her skin made her feel all sticky and she pulled away from the kiss to look down at her.


    "What''s wrong??"


    He asked, following her gaze, hands still on the underside of her boobs.


    "I feel sticky."


    She said, eyeing her chest. Their legs entangled over each other.


    "It looks hot."


    Kian mouthed out, watching his ejaction all over her naked chest. His fingers traced it.


    "It looks dried up. "


    Tinsley mumbled, pinching the skin to get off the white dried substance over her.


    But Kian stopped her and got atop her making her look back at him. He got in between her legs, spreading them apart.


    "Time to rece them."


    He said and it was another chapter of lovemaking that started for the nth time in their new abode.


    Tinsley moaned as Kian moved in between her thighs, kissing away on her exposed neck skin and the white curtains flew in the direction of the wind.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley sat up and down, resting her hands upon his muscr chest as he held onto her waist helping her raise up and down on their new bed.


    The precipitation continued to downpour on the face of the earth as Tinsley cried out in pleasure riding her husband.


    Kian rose up, hugging his wife''s body to himself, kissing away on her chest as they both reached their high together.


    ________________________________________________


    The kitchen pantry knocked against each other as Kian mmed himself in and out of his wife''s wet cunt.


    Her back hit onto the empty pantry door as she sat on the counter with her legs spread apart, her husband in between moving in and out of her Gloryhole.


    She held around his neck, biting on the skin as he thrust deep inside her...hitting that unknown g spot making her cry out in pleasure on the crook of his neck.


    ________________________________________________


    Raindrops drenched Tinsley''s face as she giggled out in nervousness and excitement as her husband drilled her pussy from behind, bending her over the balcony.


    Her red hairs flying in the direction of the breeze as Kian pounded deep inside her, squeezing her pulp butt.


    Hended a tight p on her right buttcheek making her scream out his name as she came undone all over him.


    ________________________________________________


    "I do not think I can do that??"


    Tinsley questioned in confusion. Her pussy was red and swollen from all the lovemaking but she was notining at all.


    "Just sit on my face."


    Kian said, holding out his hand, indicating her toe to him. Heid on the floor of their dining room as she stood beside him in her naked glory still contemting over her husband''s proposal.


    "What if you can''t breathe??"


    Tinsley implored with worry on her face. Kian groaned in frustration.


    Here he was getting cray for her and she was worried about him not being able to breathe.


    What she did not know was if she did not oblige to him right away, he might actually die of cardiac arrest from how fast his heart was beating from excitement and tension.


    "Do not ponder so much...just let me eat you. "


    Kian pulled her towards him and made her pussy raise up such that it was right before his face and he groaned, inhaling the scent of her arousal.


    Facing his standing dick, Tinsley held herself up, afraid she might suffocate her husband to death.


    Kian leaned forward and licked her core making her forget about her tension as she herself bent down on him.


    Her juices flooded his mouth as hepped on the wet skin like a hungry thirsty man, stranded in the Sahara for a decade.


    "Suck me..."


    Kian voiced out in between pleasuring his wife who had her ears deafened from all the amount of continent she was receiving.


    She stretched forward and took her husband in her mouth as he continued to eat her downstairs...both sighed in satisfaction.


    ________________________________________________


    The rustling sound of water in the tub coincided with their moans and groans of pleasure.


    Tinsley rode her husband like a dying woman, water sshing out of their bathing tub all over the bathroom floor.


    Kian watched his hot wife, screaming his name in pain and pleasure, holding onto the sides of the bathtub as she furiously moved up and down his hard pole.


    He leaned forward to suck one of her rosy hardened bud inside his mouth, licking it around with his wet tongue and then pulling the nipple in between his teeth.


    It was the offset for Tinsley as she came all over him, pulling onto his hairs, hugging his body close to her.


    "I...I can''t...I can''t...not more..."


    She cried out, tired from all the lovemaking they had been doing from the moment they entered the apartment.


    They continued to hug each other in relief and rxing over the cold water that had lost its temperature from their long session of fucking.


    Kian dropped a hard kiss on her lips before getting up from the tub and turning on the shower inside the ss chamber, setting the water to the right temperature.


    Tinsley joined him right away. They both covered their skin with soap, rubbing each other with it.


    Their eyes were on each other, her breasts pressed against his hard naked chest as he poured the foam all over her back, rubbing it over her butt.


    Sheid a sweet kiss on his chest as his hand moved around to rub her pussy clean. She could not stop the elicit moan slipping out of her lips.


    "I m hungry."


    Tinsley said as her stomach grumbled. Kian rubbed her pussy and Tinsley pped his hands away, giggling.


    "I m hungry too."


    Kian mouthed, boring his eyes deep into hers with desire.


    "I mean I m legit hungry, Kian. "


    Sheughed, pushing her husband''s body away from hers and soaking under the shower.


    "And I m very sore."

    <strong>Do not forget to vote and dropments whether u liked it or not!!!</strong>


    <strong>Pls, buy the privilege to read ahead.....support the poor author?</strong>

 Chapter 85 - "JEEZ!! PUT ON A SHIRT!! "

    Kian pecked his wife''s lips for the nth time and ended it with onest one, sucking her lower lip, tying the knot of her towel.


    The knock on the door made Tinsley pull away from his hold. Kian groaned in frustration, missing her body already.


    "Who could it be??"


    She asked, drying her wet hair with another towel. Kian wrapped another one around his waist to go and answer the door.


    "The pizza guy. Youe out...wearing nothing but only your skin."


    He said, smirking at the end which made Tinsley blush furiously. She hit him on his bicep as he stormed out of the bathroom.


    Kian walked out of their bedroom and climbed down the five stairs, leading to the living room, which was a big hall like with no partition in between.


    He opened the door thinking it to be the pizza guy but turned out to be Madison Flow.


    "Surprise!!! I bought homemade food!!"


    Madison eximed, turning her front to face the person who answered the door. Her smile got reced to a frown on seeing half-naked Kian.


    "Jeez!! Put on a shirt."


    She said, narrowing her eyes, weing herself inside the house, walking past him. Kian shook his head in dismissal and closed the door behind him.


    She was thest person he wanted as their visitor at the moment. He was nning to spend some more alone time with his beautiful wife.


    Even though she wasining about how much sore she was, they could have done other things but now with Madison here, he had to drop the idea.


    Madison was about to say something but then Tinsley stepped into the living just the way her husband had asked her to be...wearing only her skin.


    "Ahhhh!!! My hole eyes!!"


    Madison screamed, closing her eyes and so did Tinsley, running away to the corner.


    "Oh!! We have an unwanted visitor, babe."


    Kian remarked, shaking his head in disappointment. Tinsley went back to her bedroom to wear back her dress and at least look a little bit presentable before hitting the living room.


    Kian entered the room too, dropping his towel, walking all in his naked glory to wear back his pants and shirt.


    Tinsley could not help her eyes wandering...watching her husband''s body with desire.


    "Don''t you look at me like that..."


    Kian said, slipping his pants up in his rough voice.


    "In what way??"


    Tinsley questioned innocently, eyeing him through the dressing mirror.


    "You better not start it because we will not be leaving the room anytime soon."


    Kian let out, buttoning up his white shirt. Tinsley quickly parted her away from him, running her fingers over her wet hairs to free them from knots.


    He stood right behind her once he was done. His hairs were still wet from the shower they had taken together.


    He leaned forward to whisper in her cold ears, his lips brushing over her earlobe. They both looked at each other through the mirror.


    "And I will not give a damn about your soreness."


    Tinsley gulped the saliva down her throat hearing his threat, getting hot once again. Kian spanked her asscheek hardly before storming out of there.


    Tinsley gasped, breathing high, trying to calm down her stupid heart.


    Madison made herself at home, sitting down on the sofa, still holding the food bag on herp.


    Looking at the couple, she could tell them to be fucking like rabbits God knows where and where not.


    The table looked misaligned so she went on with her instinct and waited for them to be here.


    "I did not know you joined the pizza hut."


    Kian mocked, taking a seat on the front sofa. Madison mimickedughing at that remark.


    "What if it was the pizza guy here and she walked in like that??"


    She implored and it was at that moment, Tinsley made an entrance even before Kian could give a robust reply.


    "Madison!!! So good to see you. "


    Tinsley called out, walking past her husband to hug Madison. Kian cursed internally as his eyesnded on his wife''s pulp ass, swaying as she walked away.


    "So good to see you too...at least one seemed happy to see me after post-sex bliss. "


    Madison stated. It made Tinsley blush instantly and Kian just looked away, not trusting what he would end up doing if she kept on blushing like that.


    "I bought food. Anna Maria cooked them herself. She wanted toe herself but the weather is not good. She will visit soon."


    "I can''t wait for Anna Maria toe here."


    Tinsley replied dly, taking a seat beside Madison.


    "So where can I unpack the food??"


    Madison implored. Tinsley was about to say to drop it on the table but then shushed herself, being reminded about their deed on it from earlier.


    Kian smirked at her to which she rolled her eyes at him. Kian was almost...almost up to get his wife and fuck her till she learned not to...never to roll her eyes at him.


    His hands curled in a fist, resting on both the sides of the sofa, controlling himself.


    "My assumption was correct. Grab some tes. Will ya??"


    Madison said, opening the chain of the tiffin bag. Tinsley got up to get the tes from the kitchen, still unexplored by her.


    "Why don''t you just drop the bag here?? We know how to eat."


    Kian implied. Madison narrowed her eyes at him. She was enjoying herself internally cockblocking her boss but did not let it be evident in her facial outlook.


    "That''s rude, Kian."


    Tinsley asserted,ing in, holding two white porcin tes along with spoons and forks.


    "When has he not been rude??"


    Madison joked and Tinsley nodded her head at that. Kian red at both women teaming up against him.


    "There were only two tes...the kitchen has only limited appliances. "


    Tinsleymented, sitting beside Madison as they opened up the food boxes.


    "No worry, Tinsley and I will eat from the same te..e sit here with me."


    Kian was quick to speak out, tapping hisp for his wife toe and sit on.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 86 - "I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU! "

    "There were only two tes...the kitchen has only limited appliances. "


    Tinsleymented, sitting beside Madison as they opened up the food boxes.


    "No worry, Tinsley and I will eat from the same te..e sit here with me."


    Kian was quick to speak out, tapping hisp for his wife toe and sit on.


    Tinsley was well aware of her husband''s mischievousness. So she very gracefully declined his offer.


    "I can share with Madison too. "


    "And I do not mind at all...two sisters sharing food...not at all. "


    Madison promptly replied right after Tinsley and Kian at that moment wanted this unweed guest to be kicked out from their humble dwelling.


    Tinsley handed him his te with a vegetable sandwich and beacon. He gave a longing look to his wife and Tinsley knew better to be swayed in by that look.


    Madison and she ate from the same te. Anna Maria had made her favourite sandwich and she was d to have that old woman still in her life.


    All of them ate the food in silence. Throughout of it, Kian''s eyes were stered on Tinsley''s face and action.


    She felt so self-conscious under the scrutiny of his deep gazes. Madison could smell the sexual tension and speed up her eating before hell broke loose right before her innocent eyes.


    "Thank you for the food. Give my love to Anna Maria. I miss her dearly and can''t wait for her visit."


    Tinsley said as Madison got ready to leave. She pulled her in for a warm hug.


    "I will. She misses you too, worries about you all the time. "


    Madison whispered, hugging Tinsley still. She was so happy to finally see her happy and with someone who deeply cared about her.


    "I m so happy for you. Take care...you both."


    Madison cheerfully remarked, holding Tinsley''s hands and then leaving right after. Kian closed the door only to watch his wife weeping, standing still, looking down at the floor.


    "Hey...hey...what''s wrong?? Why are you crying?? Do you miss her already??"


    Kian bombarded her with a train of questions, holding her chin up to make her look at him.


    Tinsley shook her head in negative. She was not crying because she was upset...she was but for she was at her happiest, she had ever been in her whole life.


    "I m not sad...", she said, rubbing her tears off with the back of her hand.


    " I have never been this happier...getting to know that there are real people who care about me...you, Madison and Anna Maria."


    Her words broke his heart. She was so vulnerable that she never had someone to care about her.


    He cupped her face in between his hands, pulling her more close to him than ever.


    "I care about you...deeply, madly and crazily. "


    She grinned, listening to him. He caressed her hair with one hand and rubbing her cheeks smoothly with the other one.


    "I will always be there for you, Tinsley."


    "I know. "


    She was quick to speak up. It was something she knew in her heart...that he would always be there for her.


    Even though he was not present in her life after he left, his memories were there for her to hold onto, giving her hope one day...one day that he coulde back for her.


    And how strangely he did too. He showed up in that moment of her life when she had no one...no one at all to give her the protection and care only he could give.


    And here, they stood today, married and holding each other, staring into each other soul through their eyes.


    All of a sudden, his face transformed to a serious, remorse look and that made Tinsleye to her alert mode right away.


    "What is wrong??"


    She questioned, looking concerned.


    Kian was guilty of not treating her right the other night. He remembered the hurtful words he blurted out to her put of sadness of losing his empire.


    He had no idea how she could still gaze at him so lovingly, adoring his presence.After all that cruel words, he spoke out, using her of his words.


    "I...I..uhh...m sorry for the things I said to you the other night..."


    The moment he started, Tinsley''s face turned sore, having reminded him of that awful night back.


    "You must know I meant none of them...none at all."


    He quickly inserted, fearing that she might leave him. It was like a sudden hit as if she would leave him right away and the thought was unbearable to him...he was too used to her having around him.


    Having her close...it only felt natural then. It was very quick to feel like that but it was something he had not felt before.


    The feeling of fear...afraid...afraid to lose her...that she might one day chose to leave him once she saw and knew him...who he really was.


    "I know."


    Tinsley replied meekly. She knew he did not mean any of them. He was drunk and grieving his loss.


    "And that you must know...I will do it all over again...lose everything just to have you here...with me, in my arms."


    His words made her heart melt. It was her Kian...the one she fell in love before who spoke his heart, never holding back unlike the present one, who always held back onto his heart.


    But she knew that with time, slowly and slowly, he would open up to her again just like the old times.


    Oh!! How she missed those days back. Only if she could go back to them but she was d too...be here with him.


    "And I do not doubt that one bit."


    Her reply made his lips curve in for a smile. He rarely smiled but whenever he did...it was a sight to behold.


    He pulled her in for a hug and she rested her head against his chest mumbling a faint, "I love you!".


    Although her heart cried for not hearing him say it back to her but she was content for the moment.

 Chapter 87 - YOUR NUMBER ONE ADMIRER! YOUR HUSBAND...

    Raindrops slipped down the ss window as both Tinsley and Kian got ready for bed.


    Tinsley wore off the night coat sitting on the edge of the bed, which was a size sm1aller than their king-sized bed from the past.


    Kian entered at that exact moment from the bathroom and could not part his eyes off from his sexy wife, dressed in a white cotton nighty, smiling in his way.


    He opened the button of his shirt and slid out of it, doing the same thing to his trouser before walking up to their bed and joined her.


    Tinsleyid on her side, switching themp off. She was so much tired from all the physical exercise she had today. Her eyelids felt heavy and she would fall asleep any second now.


    The bed dipped, Kian slipped under the duvet and moved closer to his wife, pulling her to him, holding her waist.


    "Why are you wearing clothe on the bed??"


    He questioned near her ear, dropping a kiss on her exposed skin from the back.


    "I do not have the habit to sleep naked."


    She mumbled. She could feel his nude skin, his hard muscr chest pressing against her back, as his crotch lined up on her buttocks.


    "From tomorrow, no clothes allowed on the bed territory."


    Kian said, massaging her shoulders, still dropping wet kisses just below her neckline.


    "Yes, sir!!"


    Tinsley joked, humming in relief as he went on massaging. It felt so nice...so good. She leaned more in towards him.


    When his hands moved downwards, under the duvet, squeezing and kneading her pulpy butt, Tinsley knew where this was heading to.


    "Feel how hard I m for you when you call me, Sir?"


    Kian groaned, rubbing his hardness under his boxer along Tinsley''s buttcheeks.


    "Kian...I m very tired..."


    Tinsley snorted, moving her hand back to push his body away from hers.


    "I m tired too.."Kian opposed her attempt of pushing him away from her.


    "Hmm...then let''s sleep."


    Tinsley proposed, in her sleepy voice.


    "...I m tired not because I want to sleep."


    "Then what??"


    "I m tired of this hardness..."


    Tinsley shook her head in his sorry attempts to get inside her pants. But she was really tired.


    "You are hard all the time...it will go away, now sleep."


    Tinsley mumbled eyes still closed and hoping her over sex-obsessed husband would understand that there would be no more sex for the day.


    The curtains had closed. The show was over!!


    "And who''s fault is that??"


    Kian tried to act innocent. He just could not keep his hands to himself.


    "Who''s fault?? Go to her."


    "She is sleeping right beside me, denying my conjugal rights."


    Kian let out, moving his hands up to try and slip the strands of her nighty down.


    "She is just so hot and sexy...I can''t keep my hands to myself."


    "We just did it so many times...everywhere. Aren''t you tired?? I can''t feel my legs even..."


    Tinsley spoke out loud, she meant it. Her pussy felt hot and throbbing.


    "Well, I keep my promises. "


    Kian felt proud of himself for keeping his promise. He felt a boosting feel in his heart...a silly feeling.


    "I m so sore."


    "I can cure it...we can take a warm bubble bath and..."


    Kian went on and stopped when he heard no more replies, he got it, she was asleep. Her light snores could be heard.


    He sighed, moving away to switch off themp and got back in the same position.


    "Kian...please!!"


    Tinsley cried out, groggily, getting annoyed by his pesterings.


    "What?? I can''t sleep cuddling with my own wife now??"


    Kian implored. He had no bad intention. If she was really tired and he understood that so he was down to sleep with a hard-on but not without having his wife''s body pressed against him.


    "Hmm..."


    Tinsley moaned, turning to face him. He held her in his arms as she rested her head on his chest. He dropped a chaste kiss on her temple and smiled at her sleeping figurine...looking so cute and innocent.


    For the first time in his life, in his consciousness, he felt lucky to have her in his arms. He felt happy as they both drifted off to sleep after a hectic day.


    ________________________________________________1


    The next sunrise, Tinsley woke up to an empty bed. She yawned and stretched her body, feeling the blood flow back in her tired bones and limbs.


    The rain was out, the day looked to be sunny. Windows were opened and the cool breeze was blowing inside the room.


    She thought it had to be Kian who must have opened the windows. She sat up and got out of bed.


    After straightening the bed sheet, putting the pillows back on the headboard, she walked towards the bathroom, thinking Kian must be inside, taking a bath.


    She knocked on the door lightly, calling out for him but the door opened on its own and when she stepped inside, there was no one.


    She wondered where he was so walking around the house, barefoot, with no trace of him, she got worried.


    She walked back into the bedroom to pick her cell phone and give a call to him.


    While picking her phone up from the nightstand, she noticed a sealed mug of coffee and packed cake, a note along the side of it with a pretty red rose.


    Tinsley dropped the phone on the bed and took the card, sitting on the bed, opened it to read.


    "To my sleeping beautiful wife, I have some errands to run in the morning.


    You were sleeping so peacefully, did not have the heart to wake you up.


    So here is the breakfast back from the same cafe, your favourite vani cake.


    Enjoy it on the bed...I will be back soon!


    And sorry for the soreness between your legs...not actually sorry though!!


    ;) your number one admirer,


    Husband!"


    Her cheeks got painted in red as she hugged the note to her beating chest, smelling the rose, falling back on the bed, dreaming of him...her number one admirer.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 88 - IF HE LOVED HIS WIFE??

    Kian kissed his wife''s forehead and then stormed out of the house.


    The ce was a secluded one so there was no need to get worried about the paparazzi,ing out for them. They would not drive two hours away from the city to get a glimpse of the man who had lost his everything.


    Inside the house, Tinsley presence made him forget about everything else. Her soothing presence kept his mind away from pondering about all that he had lost and was left with nothing.


    And outside, looking at the people, walking down the street for work, made him feel down.


    He had to start...needed toe up with something or the other thing. He knew that he could not settle for anything less than what he had before.


    He was an ambitious man and would not settle for anything downgraded. It was not only about him...it was also about them who thought all that he had or built before was because of Valeria.


    She handed him their family oil business and the rest followed from there.


    But what they did not know was that what Valeria transferred to him was a failing oil business with no oil cartel.


    Thepany was running out of oil stock and was bankrupt after Mr Wilson''s death.


    He was only neen when he transformed the almost bankrupt corporation to on its way to making billions in the next year, right after he joined.


    Everyone had doubts about him, being so young. He graduated from Standford early with a major in coding and was nning to open up a software firm.


    He had sold his first real-time operating system to a Japanesepany in their college project and earned a million dors.


    When he got to know about his aunt''s failing business, spent those millions to buy the major stocks of Wilson Oil and Industries.


    And thus began his career in corporate business. When the sess came early, the workload increase, and he had to drop his tech firm for a while to look after the present industry.


    At twenty-one years of age, Kian finally mustered up the courage to inform his aunt that herpany was in stable format and that he wanted to go back to his work where he had left for her.


    But Valeria had other ns for the boy so she dered him to be her heir to the Wilson fortune and made him the CEO, bounding him to thepany for life.


    She gave him Madison Flow, five years older than him as his assistant. The woman was smart and intelligent and family-oriented.


    With a lot of reluctance, Kian epted the post of CEO for Wilson Oil and Industries after Valeria brainwashed him how she could not trust anyone but him in handling her husband''s legacy ...which was now his too for he had the Wilson name as his.


    With a rough start, Madison and he got to be the best boss and secretary pair in five years, craking every stock and deal in the States.


    Seven yearster, Wilson Oil and Industries became a global Oil seller and Kian earned his first billion dors...making him the youngest billionaire of Rd.


    He was everywhere...in every magazine front page but still, whenever he got the free time, he turned to his MacBook for coding a new software.


    Even though it was not easy with his schedule being tight all the time, it became impossible to concentrate on it and with time, he decided to drop it altogether.


    And to this moment, he regretted it as he was doing right then. He had the skills, the talent and knowledge butcked resources.


    He had a few ideas in his mind about where he could start but then was not sure if it would be market viable or not.


    In a tight situation like his, he could not take the risk of losing. He needed to seed in his first strike and it had to be quick.


    So first he needed to think of the best idea to code for and then lookout for a rich firm to sell it off to earn his first millions.


    It would be a start to buy a ce and employ a few workers to get started on the bigger idea to go public with his own brand of software.


    So far, it seemed like a good n but then he needed to do research on which gigantic firm had a technical defect.


    It seemed like a big work load for every big firm he knew had their own tech team to look after so what he was going to do.


    Walking down the street, with hands in his jeans pocket, casually, he could not falter the eyes of the young women, staring at him, blushing.


    He narrowed his eyes and continued walking. He was not used to this...used to walking like he had nothing to work upon.


    If it were to be in the past, he would have been busy in a meeting or preparing for one after the first-morning board discussion.


    But first, he decided to grab breakfast for himself and his wife. They had no food stock back at home.


    And knowing the history of Tinsley, she must have never done grocery shopping so now he had to cater for that too.


    He could ask Madison''s help with that and so he headed inside the same cafe, they had earlier breakfast on.


    The old woman, with white hair and thin lips, recognized his face and smiled at him.


    "One whipped coffee and ck coffee, one vani cake."


    Kian dropped his order, remembering whipped coffee was her favourite. She told him in the car, how her mother prevented her from drinking it often for maintaining her figure.


    Thinking of her naive pretty face, made him smile. The woman came up with his order. He paid her with the card.


    "Can you mind packing the coffee and cake?? It''s for my wife at home."


    "Of course, son. You must love her so much."


    The old woman,ughed, walking away to pack leaving him wondering if he loved his wife??


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 89 - PAULINE??

    "Tinsley, I m home with breakfast!"


    Kian called out, entering the empty of soul living room. He dropped the breakfast on the table and walked inside the bedroom only to find his wife still deep asleep.


    He checked his watch and it was nine in the morning. She was ate sleeper. It was something new he learned about his wife today.


    He decided against in waking her up so he sat on the small dressing table to write a sweet cheesy note for his wife that would curve her petal-like lips in for a smile, he was so addicted about in his absence.


    He ced the note along with the coffee and packed the cake on the nightstand and picked up hisptop to start on his work back in the cafe.


    On his way out, his eyes fell upon the pretty red roses of the neighbourhood and he could not help himself from plucking one for his beautiful wife.


    He ran back up the stairs to drop the red rose on the nightstand. He walked up to her side and bent down to drop a soft kiss on her forehead.


    She looked so peaceful sleeping, clutching the duvet tight to her beating chest.


    He kissed her closed eyes and then walked out of there. He was well aware of her background.


    Sooner orter, she would sense how poor the lifestyle he was offering to her. After all, she was a born heiress and could never settle for any less.


    He needed to work hard for her if not him and try to aim for sess. And he was going to return her position back as the princess she was.


    _________________________________________


    Tinsley ate thest slice of cake, licking her fingers covered with vani extract.


    The spoons and forks fromst night were not cleaned and she found out they had no washing soap to clean the dishes and the spoons.


    So she ended up eating the cake with her bare hands. She took the coffee cup and the packet to dispose of in the recycle bin in the kitchen.


    The empty kitchen pantry made her think of going for grocery shopping. She had seen the town grocery market when driving here with Kian.


    They needed to shop for basic toiletry items too, food, vegetables, fruits, a few dishes, utensils, and the micro oven was not working.


    She had wanted to reheat the coffee but it was not working. So she needed to look out for a mechanic too.


    She went back to the bedroom to get dressed in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt to get out and explore the town.


    She tied her red hair in a messy bun and called Kian to inform him about her going out but he did not answer.


    After three unanswered calls, she assumed, he was working so she dropped a text instead.


    She went out, locking the door and climbed down the stairs. The town street was mostly empty with only a handful of people around it.


    She slowly walked forward, watching everything and everyone. She had never been to a ce like this.


    The street vendor selling fresh fruits, vegetables, lentils, flowers...it was something new for her.


    She had never done grocery shopping in her life. But she could not drop everything on Kian''s head. She was the wife, after all, it was her responsibility to look after the housing department.


    She strode towards the vegetable shop to buy some. They would need it for lunch and dinner.


    But then she realized she had not bought any money with her. "Fuck!", she cursed in her mind for being so dumb,ing to the market without her handbag.


    But then they had no money too back at home. Her bank ounts were long frozen. She did not remember Kian''s pin code. So there was no way she could withdraw cash from the nearby ATM.


    On looking around, her eyes fell on the jewellery shop and then the gold bracelet on her right hand made her think of selling it to get some cash.


    It was the only way or she would have to return home with empty hands and there would be no food to cook tonight.


    After losing everything, she had only the two tinum bangles and the gold bracelet, along with the diamond ring that Kian had gifted her as her jewellery.


    There were days when she would not wear the same diamond twice but here she was today.


    Life could make you see different phrases of life enclosed in one.


    If someone had told her that one day, she would be selling a piece of her wearable jewellery to afford food on the table, a few months earlier, she would have bullied that person to death.


    She could not help but notice the change in her attitude and behaviour so far.


    How childish and spoilt she used to be, venting to others about her problems. But she felt too mature and understanding now.


    She liked this version of herself...unlike that selfish, bratty one.


    Maybe it was a good effect on her because of Kian. He was changing her for the better.


    So with small steps, she got inside the jewellery shop and sold the bracelet in her left hand.


    She counted the cash as she footed out of the shop. The gold was a rare quality one as the shopkeeper imed with no adulteration but he could only give her a dor three hundred bills for limited stock.


    Not having any other choice but to sell or else she would have to walk to the other jewellery shop outside of the town to sell it at a higher price but it would take long to get there without a vehicle.


    So she epted what was handed to her and walked out. At least now she had enough cash to shop for the week.


    "Is that Tinsley Rutherford??"


    Tinsley tilted her head to see who it was calling out her name in the unknown town.


    "Pauline???"


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 90 - DONT YOU YOUNG MISS RUTHERFORD?

    FLASHBACK TO TWOYEARS EARLIER


    "Behave nicely. Body straight, chin up."


    My mother said, as usual, the moment we entered the fundraising event.


    Dad was joined by the men in suites right away and mom asked me to stay by her side as we marched inside.


    There were so many people here, all wearing fancy dresses. I was d that I was wearing my best gown and followed my mother''s instruction, walking with chin up.


    "Marshelly is that your daughter??"


    One of thedies asked my mother, walking out from a crowd of all fancy marrieddies group. My mother joined them and I followed behind.


    "Yes, Roberta. This is Tinsley. "


    My mother introduced me to them. I had no idea why I was trying to blend in with these women, who were already married and had kids my age.


    I should have been left at home to study or attend the high school winter dance but my parents dered it to be a wastage of time.


    I did not see howing here along with was benefiting me in any way. But they just want me to blend in with these olddies and try to act like an heiress already.


    "Isn''t she is engaged to the Herrington heir??"


    One of them asked and I groaned internally. Could not there be one ce where people would not rte to me with Josh??


    "Engaged?? At such a young age??"


    All thedies turned around to look at the woman who said that out loud, including me, curious to see who was this person with brains.


    "That''s Pauline Anderson, the second wife of Mr Anderson. Her opinions are just out of this world. Ignore her, Marshally."


    Roberta whispered near my mother''s ears and I heard it all. She did look young to be Mr Anderson''s wife.


    That man was in his early fifties and married again. Pauline worked as his secretary and this time around, they say Mr Daniel Anderson was truly in love with his new second wife.


    "Shouldn''t she be nning to go to college?? There''s so much life has it for her before she even steps in for marriage. "


    Pauline let out, walking closer to us. She strokes my hair, smiling and I did not know how to react to that.


    "You are new to our society, Pauline. You should keep your middle-ss views to yourself."


    Roberta mocked, with a sass. The otherdies nodded to her, with support. Surprisingly, my mother did not say a word.


    "Our young Tinsley, here, did not grow up struggling for things like you did. She is an heiress and needs no colleges to climb the socialdder like you. "


    Urs Winters,mented, flipping her furry shawl with attitude.


    "College is not for climbing the socialdder. It''s for the right education so that Tinsley would not need a shadow of a man like you all to look after her."


    Pauline remarked, holding her stand proudly. I could not help but agree. She was like the breath of fresh air in the middle of this snobby rich upper-ss woman.


    "But you did end up spreading legs for my ex?? Didn''t you, Pauline? "


    In came, ex Mrs Anderson, now the most richest woman of the county. Mr Anderson had to split half of his wealth with her in the divorce.


    "It''s called falling in love, Cynthia. Daniel was never happy with you."


    Pauline defended herself. I could not help but admire her strong spirit, standing as one against all so many.


    "If colleges teach to be a slut then young Tinsley is better off of it, Marshally. "


    Cynthia cruellyughed and the others joined her. Pauline looked hurt but she did not back down. I felt bad for her being bullied by these bullies.


    "Enough with your utter nonsense, Cynthia. Speak to my wife with respect unlike you all, she has a brain. "


    Mr Daniel Anderson came in for his wife''s rescue and led Pauline out of there. The other women just continued to stare at their retreating figures.


    "Did I not tell you all she is a witch?? She did witchcraft on Daniel. "


    Cynthia allegedly used Pauline and the otherdies supported her with full agreement only because she belonged from an old name family with lots of money.


    "Keep your Tinsley away from her reach, Marshally. She is the bad news of feminity thinking she could do it all...if Daniel did not marry her, she would be still dirt poor."


    Roberta warned my mother to which she just smiled, nodding her head. I felt suffocated having to stand near them the entire evening.


    When I excused my mother and thedies for a washroom break, on my way, I happen to see Pauline, watching the stary night sky, standing on the balcony.


    I found myself walking towards her. She sensed my presence and spun around to face me.


    "I came to apologise on behalf of those women."


    I made up a sorry excuse to just talk with her. I did not know what else to say. Her eyes were soaked. She had been crying.


    "Are you crying??"


    I questioned, feeling bad for her. It must be really hard to try and fit in a society that did not want you to even step near them.


    "It just hurts so much. "


    She said, pressing her hands on her belly. I did not understand. Did she mean about the scene back there and it hurt her??


    "Honey, I bought you this ice tea and we will leave in ten minutes. "


    Mr. Anderson stepped in, handing his wife a cup of tea. He nodded in my direction like an ideal gent.


    "I did tell aunty to not wear that tight dress. It must be really stifling. "


    A young male voice, with a faint British ent, joined too. He was a new face to me. His blue eyes fell upon me and I could not shake them away.


    "I m fine, boys. It''s just the time of the month."


    Pauline smiled, looking at the boys, trying to calm them down.


    "Tinsley will know about it too. It''s just nothing wedies can''t handle. Don''t you young, Ms Rutherford??"


    What Pauline asked me, I had no clue about it so I resumed with my no idea face.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 91 - "I LOVE HIM! "

    "I m fine, boys. It''s just the time of the month."


    Pauline smiled, looking at the boys, trying to calm them down.


    "Tinsley will know about it too. It''s just nothing wedies can''t handle. Don''t you young, Ms Rutherford??"


    What Pauline asked me, I had no clue about it so I resumed with my no idea face.


    "She must have no idea what you are saying, aunty. She must have not started her menstruation yet."


    My eyes rose to octets, listening to him. How did he have no shame at all?? Talking about periods so openly??


    "No, Nathaniel. She just did not understand me."


    Pauline remarked, ruffling the boy''s golden hairs. I had no inkling as to why I was still standing with them.


    It must be because I had nothing interesting to draw myself in within this ce.


    "Honey, you finish your tea. I will get the car ready. Look after your aunty, Nathan. "


    Mr Anderson announced, walking out of the balcony, leaving us, Three Musketeers to converse.


    "What do you want to be, Tinsley??"


    Pauline''s question struck me with no warning. It was a simple question as to the guy, called Nathanial who watched me curiously to what my answer would be.


    What I wanted to be??


    I had never thought about it once. It never urred it to me ever. What I wanted and needed, my daddy always bought it for me.


    So I had no answer to Pauline''s query.


    "What do you like to do, Tinsley??"


    Pauline''s next question was easy. I knew what I liked to do.


    It was painting...I loved painting. Colours allowed me to express my thoughts that I could never express in my real life.


    "So you want to be a painter??"


    Nathaniel asked me and I shook my head in a yes and a no...confused.


    It never urred to me that I want to be a painter?? I was to marry Josh and be the ideal wife and heiress when Ie of age.


    "I m to be wed to Herrington when Ie of age."


    Was my reply, short and simple. Pauline looked at me with pity and Nathaniel had an unexined expression.


    "Do you love this Herrington??"


    "I do not."


    That was my quick answer to Nathaniel''s next question. Pauline remained silent watching us converse.


    " Then why marry him?? "


    "Because I m to marry him?"


    I had no idea. Why I was marrying him?? It was a question I was to not ponder much about.


    "Aunty tell this silly girl to study first before trying to be an illiterate wife."


    Nathaniel narrowed his eyes at me. That was rude!!! I did go to school...homeschooled in the countryside mansion.


    "That''s rude, Nathan. Tinsley''s parents do not want her to. It''s not her fault."


    Pauline came to my rescue. I did not get it why she was eyeing me with pity all the time.


    "She can join us. Uncle can fund her studies with mine in Harvard."


    Nathaniel proposed. And he was very generous at that time.


    "Leave it, Nathan. She is not even allowed to wear jeans and a normal tee like any teenager and to be allowed in Harvard University...we should get going now."


    Pauline''sst remark did hurt. It was true that I had never worn jeans or denim.


    All I had ever worn were dresses...costly and rich. What was so wrong with them??


    "The day you wear Jeans, it will be your liberation, Tinsley."


    Pauline pat my shoulder and walked away with Nathan who had a sad face on him while leaving.


    What was so special about wearing jeans?? I wondered


    On my next birthday, Pauline gifted me a pair of denim and I had worn it...it surely did feel liberating.


    I could jump up and down without the care of showing. I understood what she meant.


    And then she became my favourite person to hang out at parties until one day, Daddy banned me from meeting with her.


    ________________________________________________


    "Is that Tinsley Rutherford??"


    Tinsley tilted her head to see who it was calling out her name in the unknown town.


    "Pauline???"


    Her eyes were shocked to see a woman whom she had not seen or heard of for ages.


    Pauline Anderson strode forward, holding a few bags in both her hands. I slipped the money back into my pockets.


    "That is you...in jeans and tee."


    She smiled, moving her eyes up and down to look at me. She looked older than before. A fair amount of white hairs falling freely from her loose braided ck hair.


    She pulled me in for a hug and I embraced her back. It was so refreshing to see such an independent-minded woman I ever came across.


    "I heard about your parents...I m really sorry. Are you alright??"


    She asked me, caressing my back. I nodded positively.


    "I m over it. How are you??"


    I reverted the question back to her. I could never be over my parent''s death but it was nothing that I had my tears left for.


    "I m fine. I m here with Daniel to look after our farm. It''s refreshing to be outside the city. "


    She replied, cheerfully.


    "What brings you here??"


    "I live here now. And came out to shop for groceries. "


    I said, not embarrassed to admit it at all. She was the woman who knew my status and it must seem very poor for her to look at my condition right now.


    "I heard about what happened. "


    I looked down, not wanting to have that conversation at the moment. I was happy and wanted to start my day, shopping for the things we needed in a home.


    "Are you happy??"


    Her question took me off guard. It was not something I was expecting her to ask at all.


    I thought of having her judgemental views or maybe mock me for my poor condition.


    But then Pauline...she was always so different. I looked up at her and smiled.


    "I love him."


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 92 - LUCKILY, I ENDED UP MARRYING FOR LOVE!

    "Are you happy??"


    Her question took me off guard. It was not something I was expecting her to ask at all.


    I thought of having her judgemental views or maybe mock me for my poor condition.


    But then Pauline...she was always so different. I looked up at her and smiled.


    "I love him."


    I hoped she understood it all. And by the looks, she did. She smiled back at me.


    Who could rte more with me than her??


    She too loved a man, not of her ss and struggled to make a ce for herself in it.


    "I m d. At least you ended up being with the man you love...and that is all that matters."


    Pauline borate. I could not agree more with her.


    And suddenly it started to rain again. July rain could never stop even on a sunny day.


    "And here it rains again...why don''t youe with me to visit our farm till the rain stops??? Daniel would be so happy to see you...and our gardener could pluck some fresh fruits and vegetables for you in the meantime. "


    Her offer seemed tempting but I intended to decline. I had no time to mingle and hang with people like I used to do.


    "I will drive you back home...please do not decline..."


    She pressed, holding onto my hands. I opened my mouth to say otherwise but her ck Mercedes stood parked in front of us and she stepped forward, opening the door for me.


    It would be rude to decline her then so I went in. Plus, it was raining too so there was no way I could go shopping right then.


    Spending that time, making acquaintances with the people of the town seemed reasonable.


    On the way, I dropped a text to my husband saying I was off to visit the Andersons.


    I felt bleak seeing the phone screen on not receiving any texts back from him. He had not even seen them because they were not marked blue.


    What was he doing?? I thought


    "We are here."


    Pauline said and I slipped my phone back into my jeans pocket to look outside. The ce was huge.


    The Mercedes drove in between the paddy fields. The workers were still working in the rain.


    I had no idea that the Anderson''s were involved in the crop business too. To the west of the field, there were spots reserved for cultivating fruits and vegetables.


    The tomatoes, pumpkins and chillies were blooming along with cauliflower, cabbage and so many varieties of spinach.


    I was in awe watching it because I had never been to a crop field. It was just so muddy and green.


    "The view is rxing, isn''t it??"


    Pauline implored and I could not help but agree with her. Maybe that was why the old couple decided to settle here, away from the city.


    We got out of the car and headed towards the big mansion, spread around the vast plot ofnd.


    "Honey?? Look who I walked in to.."


    Pauline called out to her husband who was sitting on the veranda, reading the newspaper.


    We both stepped upon it. Mr Anderson looked old, his hairs were gone and his face all wrinkled.


    Pauline looked so much younger than him. It only confirmed their age difference but then their love surpassed it all.


    And maybe, that was why they were still together while so many had been either divorced or felt out of love in the past years...yet they were going so strong.


    "Tinsley??? You mean the daughter of Rutherford??"


    Mr Anderson fixed his specs to look at me clearly. I smiled at the old man, not knowing what to say to that...yes or no?


    "Yes, my love. She is a Randall now. "


    "What?? They married her already??"


    Mr Anderson freaked out and I looked at Pauline. She did tell me how her husband was suffering from a shortage of memories. He forgot most of the things.


    "She married the man she loved."


    Pauline''s answer was sweet and simple. Mr Anderson frowned.


    "I have not heard any Randall. Make me remember if we have any acquaintance with them, my dear?"


    It was obvious the Randall name would not be heard by this upper-ss society. It was Kian''s maiden name.


    "We know them by Wilson...Valeria Wilson''s nephew. She married Kian Wilson, now Randall, my love. "


    Pauline exined to her husband, very patiently and it appeared, Mr Anderson came to recognise Kian.


    "Did someone mention about Kian Wilson??"


    A manly voice, with a faint British ent, questioned and we all tilted her head in the direction from where it originated and my eyes widened on seeing the man behind the voice.


    "Nathan??? What a pleasant surprise!!! You were tond in the evening..."


    Pauline excitedly eximed and hugged her nephew. Nathan embraced her back, even though his eyes were still on me and I could not part mines from his.


    "I forgot to tell you, honey. He arrived as soon as you left for the shop."


    Mr Anderson added. Pauline stood beside her old husband, letting go of Nathan. He walked up to my side.


    "Nathan, you remember, Tinsley??"


    "How could I ever forget?? "


    Nathan chuckled on my way. Pauline and Mr Anderson watched us make acquaintance.


    "Now that the entire state is talking about her and Kian."


    My face dropped as soon as I heard that. Pauline narrowed her eyes on him, shutting him up.


    "So do you love him or it''s another contract??"


    "Nathan, where are your decency??"


    Pauline scolded him to which he gave deaf ears. It aggravated me so much, remembering our first encounter back when we were teens.


    He always so looked down upon me. Back then too he judged me and still to this date, he was doing the same.


    "This time, luckily, I ended up marrying for love. "


    I smirked at him and he did back. He was about to say more but then Pauline invited us all inside over a cup of tea and chit chat.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 93 - "TINSLEY LIVING IN A TOWN WOULD BE A MYTH TEN YEARS EARLIER! "

    We had a great talk over the cup of tea and hand-baked cookies.


    Pauline and Daniel, Mr Anderson insisted, I call him that. They both narrated their love story to us.


    It was a joy to listen to such a love story of life. I could not draw the smile off my face listening to it.


    Someday, I hoped and wished, me and Kian could also do the same. Tell about how we met and fell in love with our kids and grandkids in the future.


    The thought of children drifted my mind back to when he stated sternly that he did not want any babies.


    And just like that, myplexion faltered. I knew it was a silly thought but I could not help but feel sad.


    "What is it??"


    I rose my gazes up from the cup of tea to look at Nathan, who was seated beside me, with a concerned look on his face.


    Pauline and Daniel were too busy with us so close. She wasining about how Daniel forgot to take his medicines once again and the nurse came in.


    "Does he not treat you well??"


    His next question made me stare at him, surprised. Why was his sudden interest in my life??


    "Why do you care??"


    I questioned back,ughing it away softly. He did not answer right away and scanned my face as if trying to decode my inner thoughts.


    "I always did."


    It was his reply, too faint to hear but I did as his face was closer to mine.


    I did not know how to contemte that. I did not understand what did he mean by that.


    "He does...he lov..."


    And then and there, I stopped myself abruptly. I was almost off saying that my husband loves me...but he never did say it out loud to my face.


    He did care about me...deeply at that, treated me well than anyone ever did. I just did not know why he could not confess to me.


    "Out of all the men in the states...you had to be his."


    He snorted, there was a bitterness evident in his voice. I fluttered my gazes down, back to the empty cup I was holding.


    Nathan and I...we were like those opposite viewed kids. We would always fight over things.


    There were moments when I hated him so much. He gave me a headache, unting his knowledge about stuff and I would just try to in ignore him but then he was one of those who did not understand the meaning of stepping down.


    Looking at him now, he had grown, just like I did. He seemed more matured, finer tastes in clothing and words of choice.


    His golden locks were something very popr then amongst the rich girls of my age. I did not care because my eyes and heart was set on someone with raven ck hair...even though I was promised to a brown head.


    "It''s almost time for lunch...Tinsley, why don''t you have lunch with us??"


    Pauline''s voice broke the trains of my thought. And made me look in her way. I had missed keeping the track of time and it waste...toote.


    I needed to head home because Kian might bring in lunch for me just like he did for breakfast and I had not seen him since the night and my eyes wanted nothing more than to have a look at my husband.


    "I don''t think it will be..."


    "It''s still raining heavily, you can''t go on your own...and we can''t let you sit here while we have lunch..."


    Pauline was quick to cut me off. I looked at the window and it indeed was raining heavily.


    "Common dear...what will be the loss??"


    Daniel implored and as the time ticked, declining this lovely couple was bing impossible.


    "I will drive you back home after lunch, I promise."


    Nathan joined them too and it sealed the deal. Pauline ordered the maids to get the table ready and after a while, we all headed towards the dining hall.


    Over lunch, Nathan shared some interesting news about their familypany. It had now be the top ten global dealers in the states.


    The way he exined and told the details, with so much enthusiasm, I could then tell why it hurt Kian so much upon losing everything.


    If the same thing happened to Nathan, he would be hurt too. These men''s life revolved around their work, challenging themselves for more every day.


    After lunch, as promised, Nathan got ready to drive me back home. It was almost four in the noon. Time flew so quick.


    Over the ss of red wine, I forgot that I had to go. I just had not much luck in conversing and listening to people talk for so long...it was what used to be my life.


    Getting dressed pretty in the morning, shopping around and then going to clubs ordy houses to drink wine and talk our hearts out.


    So much had changed after the death of my parents. I was now a man''s wife whom they had not chosen for me and the son of their maid.


    "I had asked my garnered to pluck some fresh vegetables and fruits for you as you did not get the time to shop...here take them."


    Pauline said, handing me a few bags of vegetables and fruits. I epted them but only after I had pestered them enough to take the money from me.


    After a lot of convincing, Pauline had to give up and ept my money. It was a joyous moment to watch such a strong headed woman to back down.


    "See you soon..."


    I bid them farewell as Nathan drove us out of the farm. We all had a sweet smile on our faces making it evident we had a great time.


    "Tinsley Rutherford living in a town would have been a myth ten years earlier."


    I giggled at that remark. It was true. Nathan joined me in with hisughter as we drove home.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 94 - "YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT TO ME! "

    "Tinsley Rutherford living in a town would have been a myth ten years earlier."


    I giggled at that remark. It was true. Nathan joined me in with hisughter as we drove home.


    "So Kian huh??"


    I nodded my head. Why was it so hard for him to grasp that fact?? Was it that unbelievable??


    Me and Kian?? Did we not seem like to be a couple??


    "You know him??"


    "Of course, I do. We have encountered several times in official meetings."


    He said. It made sense then why he could not believe me and Kian to be together.


    "I always thought him to be with Thea Stilton?? "


    When he said that, I looked in his way a bit taken aback. Thea Stilton??


    I had never heard that name before. Was it the woman Valeria was talking about?? Was she the one Kian promised to??


    "So it''s just hard to believe you both...you know."


    He continued. I did not say a word. I was too disturbed to even think about anything else.


    Kian with another woman...it burnt my heart and soul. I could not evenprehend the fact.


    "Tinsley?? Are you there??"


    His loud voice snapped me out of my thoughts. What was he saying again??


    "Yes??"


    "How did you both meet??"


    He asked and the question made me wonder where to start. Should I start from our childhood days or from when we met a few months ago??


    "I have known him all my life...we..we kinda grew up together."


    I started, remembering our days as children, ying around the vastnd of the countryside.


    It was the start. It was how we grew up to fall in love. He became the symbol of my carefree side and when I was with him, the world felt so lose and rxing on my shoulder.


    "I...I did not know you both grew up together."


    Nathan replied. He must be wondering howe he never had any encounter with Kian when we were kids and attended the parties and events.


    Only because, Kian, back then was the son of a maid and was not allowed to attend such kind of event.


    "So what about you?? Any woman in your life??"


    I tried to divert the questions onto him now. Enough with me. I had not much interest to intrude in his life yet to carry on with the flow of conversation.


    "Why do you ask??"


    "And why not??"


    I reverted his question back, smiling at him. He shrugged it off saying there was not much going on with his life other than work at the moment.


    Soon, we reached my destination and I was d to be home. Nathan pulled out an umbre for me and I thanked him, saying that I would return this some other day.


    When his car was out of sight, I climbed back inside the building, holding the two bags of veggies and fruits.


    On reaching my floor, I was about to unlock the door open but it barged open all of a sudden and my husband stood on the threshold.


    It seemed like he had been waiting for me for a long time and knew about my arrival beforehand.


    "A very rainy day!!"


    I eximed, getting in. He closed the door and snatched the bags away from my hold and walked away to the kitchen, not saying a word.


    I did not know what was wrong and what was his reason for being grumpy out of nowhere. So I followed him to the kitchen.


    "How was your day??"


    I implored, trying to stir up a conversation. He seemed oddly quiet, stocking the refrigerator with the fruits and veggies.


    I walked past him towards the middle of the kitchen and saw that the kitchen cabs were then stock with some new utensils, cups and mugs.


    Did he go shopping??? There were other items too...salt cer, turmeric, olive oil and other food making stuff.


    He definitely went shopping. I licked my lips, not understanding the reason behind his silent treatment.


    "So you went shopping??"


    "Yes, I did. Only because I didn''t want my wife to tire herself with it but guess what?? She already has been tiring herself with some man..."


    Kian said in his mocking tone and I was shocked at his petty usations.


    "I was not fooling around with men...I went grocery shopping."


    I defended myself and it looked like he was not really convinced at all.


    "How much time does it takes for you to buy all these??? Four hours?? And was it that the streetside vendor giving you ride to home??? I did not know street vendors here drives Mercedes??"


    Kian fired an array of questions my way and I did not know how to reply to all of them back without making it sound like we were about to have another argument.


    "That was Nathaniel Anderson...he drove me home."


    I said. I did not see any reason to hide the man''s name from him who drove me home.


    "Why did I not expect that??"


    He chuckled, cruelly. I strode towards him and held onto his shoulder, reverting him back to face me.


    "Except what??"


    "That you will have lines of suiters, the moment I turn my back on you??"


    He yelled, pping my hands off of him, walking out of the kitchen, furiously.


    He was jealous...and angry that I had been driven to home by another man?? He could not be serious...could he??


    "Are you jealous??"


    "Why will I ever be jealous?? You are not that important to me...get over yourself."


    He spat out, narrowing his eyes and looking away. There we were...we were again heading towards the direction of the gibberish argument.


    "You do not mean that...I m important to you...I m your wife, Kian."


    I wailed thest part like a child, angry for not being listened to. How could he say that??


    "If you are my wife, stop throwing yourself at men first."


    He snarled and then opened the door, walked out, closing it behind him in a thud.

 Chapter 95 - "IF YOURE MY WIFE, STOP THROWING YOURSELF AT MEN FIRST!!!"

    When I got back home, I saw there was no sign of Tinsley in the house.


    I checked my phone only then to see if she dropped any texts and she did. It said she went grocery shopping.


    I smiled at that thought. She was sacrificing so much to settle with me in a life like this.


    After brainstorming so many ideas, I had no luck finding one anytime sooner.


    Madison told me to wait and think for a few days before I really hit up with anything else and I always respected her advice.


    She did help me settle so many deals in the past so I trust her words. In the meantime, I thought of why notnding a few hands to help my beautiful wife set up this ce.


    So not thinking much, I picked up my car keys and headed to the town marketplex.


    It was nothing unusual for me to shop for such items. It only took me back to those times in my college when I did everything on my own from cooking to cleaning.


    Although, with time and no connection to such activities for over a decade now, made me confused about what to buy and what not to.


    When I was done, I thought of giving a call to Tinsley only to realize that my phone was dead.


    I should have charged itst night. This habit of having others to do everything for you was costing me at the moment.


    I sighed in frustration and decided to head home with lunch takeaway. Tinsley must be home by this time either way.


    Needless to say, I was liking this phrase of life too. Having a beautiful wife to go to home, it was a feeling I had never had when I used to return home from a long day of work.


    I was impressed with my shopping. I made sure to buy the mugs and tes, pink in colour, hoping she would like them, not that I liked them at all.


    I opened the door and noticed the house was as empty it was like I left. I checked the bedroom and bathroom but she was not there.


    I let my phone on charging and waited by the balcony patiently for her to return.


    The rain must have been holding her back. Not to forget that this was her first time in life going grocery shopping. I should probably wait.


    And when two hourster too, there was no sign of my wife, it started giving me bad vibes.


    What if Josh got her back??


    I tried to shoo away the disturbing thoughts out of my mind but they kepting back regardless.


    The Chinese takeaway had gone cold by then. I had no mood for lunch anymore and went to take my phone and go look out for her.


    On checking my phone, I received the text that she was off with a friend and was now about to have lunch with them.


    It made me think who could that friend be? She did not mention to me about having any friends at all.


    I chose to wait till she returned and the clock hit four in the evening. I was watching out from the balcony. The rain was still pouring heavily.


    Then through the periphery of my view, I saw a white Mercedes Benz pulling in our driveway and out came, Tinsley, holding an umbre.


    She opened the umbre over her, covering her face, shielding it from the pouring rain.


    She leaned in towards the car window and talked with the driver for about a minute or so before it drove away and she stood there, watching itpletely go out of her sight and then turned back towards the building.


    My palms holding onto the railing which had turned into a fist now was the only thing holding me back in my ce, still instead of going down and confront her...roaming around the town with a man...


    My blood was boiling. How could she!!! She lied to me about going shopping and then was hanging out with a man the whole day??


    I opened the door before she could knock and her bright smile greeted me. I did not bother with it and just snatched the bags from her hands and strode away towards the kitchen.


    She closed the door behind her and then followed me with her little steps. I did not turn around to check up on her.


    I was just too angry at her. I could not see her without getting reminded of the fact that she lied and was with a stranger this whole time.


    While I had skipped work to help her, went shopping to gather things for our house and she dare lie to my face through a text and been lunching with a man!?


    A few words were exchanged between us and I could not get angrier getting to know that it was none other than Nathaniel Anderson...fucking Anderson dropped her home!!!


    She had been with that bastard all these times while her husband sulked at home, worried about her.


    "Are you jealous??"


    How dare she ask me that?? How fucking dare!!!


    "Why will I ever be jealous?? You are not that important to me...get over yourself."


    I spat out, narrowing my eyes and looking away. There we were...we were again heading towards the direction of the gibberish argument.


    None had ever dared to talk back to me like her even after she was at wrong here.


    "You do not mean that...I m important to you...I m your wife, Kian."


    She cried thest part as a child, angry for not being listened to. I did not give two fucks about her right now.


    "If you are my wife, stop throwing yourself at men first."


    I snarled and then opened the door, walked out, closing it behind in a thud and went out for a run in the dark and rain to clear my fucking mind.


    ________________________________________________


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 96 - CRAZY WILD WOMAN!!

    Kian went for a run in the rain, racing in the dark.


    Shops were closed by the time due to the rain and bad weather. Only a few people in the street, returning home.


    He was furious to see Tinsley ride home with a man. His breathing heightened at the thought of someone else falling for his wife.


    She was a beautiful woman with the most beautiful pair of green eyes and red hair...her smile was breathtaking.


    Even to this day, he could not help but think how did she im of falling for him.


    And now the thought aggravated him more than ever as he had nothing to offer her...not even a wealthy life to live in. Yet she imed to love him.


    What if she realized that he was not worth it?? And that she was better off of him??


    The way he was going used to her was disturbing. When near her, he could not keep his hands to himself and he would be craving for her all the damn time.


    It was not only the looks, that had captivated him but her innocence and naiveness too.


    Her character was soft and warm unlike any heiress he had met on several asions, she had no pride in her name or selfishness like them.


    He had observed her for a few months before they got here, married and living like a couple.


    Maybe...maybe he was just pointing her uselessly?? He always had the problem of a short temper.


    Thanks to Madison for knowing how to control him or else God knows how many deals they would have lost in the past because anything small and everything big made him angry.


    When he reached the edge of the countrysidend, the loud noises of the sea waves could be heard, hitting the shore, sshing water everywhere, he stopped running.


    A sudden sh of a young boy and woman running alongside the beach hit his eyes in wavy ways.


    The faces were not clear, he rubbed his eyes to have a clear look only to realise it was all in his head not in front of him.


    After the ident, he had lost all his memories of his boyhood and his dead mother. He did not even recall how she looked.


    Valeria used to say she had a hard time bringing him out of the darkness of which he had no memories of either.


    He remembered his doctor saying that he was too used to his mother and that sometimes, letting people off in a distance to protect ourselves when they leave us, would not hurt that much when they would do.


    Maybe...he was letting Tinsley way too much in than required?


    It was then he realized a solution when the sun disappeared under the horizon, casting darkness everywhere.


    He just needed to distance himself from his wife and it would solve every other problem.


    As he spun around to head home, he could still hear the sounds ofughter and chasing off a small boy and woman.


    On returning home, and making way to his bedroom to get fresh, his eyes fell upon his crying wife, who was sobbing looking at a dish of ck burnt leaves.


    She did not see him and was so engrossed in crying her eyes out, the red nose poking out of her angelic face.


    Fuck!! Distancing himself from her...


    He stormed towards her, not being able to hold himself back and let her cry like that.


    Fuck him!! If he sounded like a pussy...he did not care.


    All he cared about was that he could not bear seeing his fragile wife crying like someone just died. He wished that nobody did though.


    "Hey?? What''s wrong??"


    On hearing her husband''s concerned voice, made Tinsley''s eyes water more than before.


    Even after everything, he was still worried about her. She could not help but hug him, wrapping her hands around his torso.


    "Hey?? Talk to me, please."


    Kian said, a bit taken aback by her sudden hug, rubbing her back soothingly as she cried her eyes out on his beating chest.


    "I ruined my apology dinner to you."


    Her sobs made it hard to understand what she spoke out but he got it regardless.


    "Now...you will be..for..forever mad at me."


    Kian pulled her off of him and raised her chin up with his forefinger so that she could look at his face.


    He could notprehend the fact that she was crying over a burnt dinner and assumed he would be forever angry at her??


    It sounded like a five-year-old and he could not stop the chuckle that escaped from his mouth.


    Tinsley was sadder on seeing the face...how hard he was trying not tough at her failed attempts, mocking her.


    She tried to get away but he pulled her back in. She struggled to get her hands out of his stronghold.


    "Hey...hey...listen to me, you silly woman."


    Kian made an effort to hold her in one position but his wife resembled the same amount of stubbornness just like him.


    He had no choice but to pick her up like a sag of potatoes on his shoulder upside down and marched inside the bedroom.


    Tinsley shrieked, not expecting that move at all. Shended fists on his back trying to get off of him even though his shapely butt on her face, distracted her a bit....she had never seen it up that close.


    Kian did not feel a thing of her fistsnding on his back repeatedly and spanked her ass tightly, making her scream out in protest.


    "You will not like if I red that ass, wife...so keep steady."


    He threatened her, pping her butt once again and that made Tinsley think for a while before shended another first on his back.


    Kian smirked, climbing up the stairs, thinking he had made his wife afraid with his warning but cursed out when Tinsley pinched his rear end.


    He threw her on the bed roughly. She bounced back on the soft surface.


    "You crazy wild woman!!"


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 97 - EVEN THE THOUGHT OF IT WAS MAKING HIM GAGA!!!

    Tinsley''s chest heaved up and down in an erotic manner and Kian cursed under his breath.


    They seriously needed to talk and he did not know how when that sexy vixen eyed him like that, nipples poking out, straining the fabric of her shirt, sitting legs spread on the bed.


    He parted his eyes off of her to take a deep breath and calm himself down. Maybe after the talk, they could do it?? But not now...


    "Tinsley??? Calm down...We need to talk."


    He started, walking up to her side of the bed. She continued to stare at him with her red swollen eyes, crying for how long he had no idea.


    "Look...I m sorry ok?? I should not have reacted that way and you are forgiven...so don''t cry over the dinner now...fine??"


    He stated, taking a seat beside her, cing his hand on her knees trying to get her confirmation.


    All of a sudden, Tinsley felt stupid when she realized there was nothing she did wrong.


    She was not irresponsible to not inform him that she was having lunch with her friend, she did, so there was no mistake shemitted.


    Perhaps it was him, who used her of flirting with another man. If anyone should be sorry, it should be him.


    Then why the hell was she crying over an apology dinner, urging for his forgiveness?? When he should be sorry...she was just a slow observer of facts.


    So without saying anything, she tried to get off of the bed and Kian was a bit taken aback by her sassiness.


    He just apologised to her and forgave her without any attempt from her and instead of being thankful, she was rolling her eyes at him and trying to walk past him??


    "Shouldn''t you be saying sorry??"


    "And why should I??"


    Tinsley questioned him back as he held her back on the bed, holding on to her waist.


    "I never did anything wrong."


    She said and it made him wonder then why was she preparing an apology dinner for him and crying over it a few minutes ago.


    "Then why the drama in the kitchen, crying over a burnt dinner??"


    Kian implored, narrowing his eyes at his weird wife. She only rolled at him. He fisted his palms trying very hard not to bend her on hisp and bang her brains out.


    "I just realized, it should be you in my ce, making that apology dinner for me because you should be sorry for using me of flirting around with another man..."


    Tinsley borated, crudely starting deep into his surprised orbs. He must be wondering how did the tables had turned??


    "You can''t expect me to be not jealous seeing my wife being drove to home by a stranger? "


    Was his quick reply to her in another question. And as if he had hit himself with his own shoe, Kian realized what he just did.


    He just imed himself to be jealous when for the first time, he denied it when she held him on for it.


    Tinsley folded her hands against her chest, sitting proudly on hisp. The small action made Kian''s gazes fell upon her pushed up bust, he groaned in annoyance.


    "Look who''s eating their own word...?"


    She mumbled, batting her eyshes at him. Kian never in his wildest dream thought could feel embarrassed in his life over a failed argument.


    "Fine...you win!!"


    He grumpily let go of her waist. She scooted up on the bed, cing her feet on hisp.


    "So now go and clean the kitchen and I will grant you my forgiveness."


    She ordered him like ady boss and Kian could not help in believing how shrewdly his wife had yed the cards in her favour on the game.


    She was not that innocent, being yed around with women anymore. She was a clever woman and he felt proud of it instead of getting angry for provoking him.


    At least now no one could y her in his absence. He rubbed her foot soles and could not help the smile on his face.


    "And what will be my prize after I clean the kitchen??"


    "You do not get to ask for it...all you take iswhat I give you."


    Tinsley smirked, squeezing her chest more, making her cleavage prominent for his eyes, knowingly.


    "You are ying a dangerous game, Tinsley Randall."


    Kian grunted, his eyes getting dark on the sight before him. He was very aware of what she was doing to him was intentional.


    "I never y easy one, lover boy."


    She mouthed, leaning back on the headboard, pressing her thighs together feeling the heat on her core from his deep nces.


    "And I never y fair, princess."


    He muttered, his eyes only on her chest, heaving up and down...her nipples poking out.


    Damn!!! Only if he could get a hand on her...he would teach her not to y dirty with him ever.


    "You will...you will y fair by me..."


    Tinsley mounted, hulking the saliva down her throat, getting nervous under his gaze.


    He had the look of the devil...the fire in his eyes...she wanted to burn in it and cherish the moment burning in it.


    "And why will I??"


    "Because...because if you don''t..."


    She ran out of words, thinking, biting her lips as his eyesnded on them. His hands were rubbing her feet dangerously slow, building a heat.


    "If you don''t...then I will not..."


    "...you will not...what??"


    Kian implored, liking the effect he had on her. His eyes could alone make her restless for his touch but it was entertaining to watch how she was trying to hold it back and act the part of controlling the situation as if she had any hand on it now.


    "... Not blow you!!"


    She had no idea...no clue what came out of her damnation mouth bit on realizing, both groaned out in the sexual frustration.


    This woman!!! This woman could just kill him!! He thought and stood up to go get the kitchen clean and have her blow him right after.


    Damn!!! Even the thought of it was making him go gaga...


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 98 - HOW MANY??

    Both fell down on the bed after long hours of lovemaking, panting and tired.


    Tinsleyid her head on her husband''s beating chest. Kian ran his fingers over her red messy hair.


    Their sweaty body felt sticky and was in dire need of a shower but their bones were too stiff to try and get up.


    "So what''s next??"


    "What''s next??"


    Kian questioned, looking down at his wife.


    "I meant like what to do next??"


    Tinsley implored, raising her head up, resting her hands on his taut chest. Kian pecked her lips, staring deep into those eyes.


    "I m up for round five?"


    Tinsley giggled,nding a fist on his torso. She could not believe the audacity of this man.


    They had been going on for like three hours straight and she had no idea how was she evenying awake, eyes wide open and not dead asleep from exhaustion.


    "But before that...I m hungry."


    Kian said to which Tinsley nodded her head too. They had forgotten to dine after the heavy sexual tension they had between them.


    "I m hungry too."


    "You exhaust me, so much, Mrs Randall."


    He joked and Tinsley was taken aback by how he was putting all the me game on her.


    When it was him who jumped onto her bones right after he was done cleaning the kitchen.


    "I m d I do."


    Tinsley fluttered her long eyshes on him. Kian grabbed her face and dropped kisses all over her face.


    "...Kian...I m legit hungry..."


    Tinsleyughed, trying to push her husband away from her body. His kisses were tickling her.


    "I m too..."


    Kian muttered, dropping wet kisses on her naked skin joining the neck and shoulder.


    "But the dinner is burnt."


    Tinsley moaned the words out, getting bothered by his disturbing kisses, stirring a whirl of heat inside her core.


    "I will reheat the takeout."


    Kian grunted, closing his eyes and too busy licking his wife''s skin that tasted salty from the sweat nds.


    "Then go...heat it now...I m hungry..."


    She pushed him away hard, and he groaned out in frustration. He was just about to begin their round five or six...they had lost the count long ago.


    "I love you..."


    Tinsley said, pecking his lips, urging him to go. He made annoying faces before getting up and walking out of their bedroom.


    She leaned back on the headboard of the bed, breathing high, watching her husband walk out, stark naked.


    She let the thought slip this time that he had not still confessed his love to her even when she did.


    She was d that they were back to their yful self instead of fighting over stuff.


    "Tinsley?? Dinner''s ready!!"


    His voice pulled her out of her train of thoughts. She got out of the bed and walked forward, not bothering to put on her nighty back.


    The spanking lesson a while ago had taught her not to bother putting clothes on when there were no guests.


    Kian took the Chinese takeout from inside the oven and put it on the kitchen counter, waiting for his wife to join him.


    A very naked Tinsley stood in front of him. His eyes raked up and down her nude body.


    Even after kissing and caressing every skin of that body, it was just not enough...never enough.


    He had seen a fair amount of women and he meant it when he said, he never saw one as beautiful as his wife.


    Tinsley did not feel self-conscious around him anymore. His gazes...dark ones made her feel desirable, beautiful.


    "Come sit for dinner..."


    Kian parted his eyes off of her before he ended up taking her on the very kitchen counter, throwing the food away.


    He sat on the high stand stool and patted hisp for her to sit. Tinsley looked at him in a pause. Did he just ask her to sit on hisp and dine?


    "What''s wrong?? Come before the food gets cold."


    He called out for her again, pouring the food out on one te. She gave in and stepped forward, sitting on hisp.


    He snaked an arm around her waist, holding her in bnce. She squirmed in his hold, his hardness poking her and she could not getfortable with that.


    It was touching her right in her spot. The wetness sipping out through her inner thighs and making way towards his groin areas.


    Her cheeks are flustered, embarrassed to be discovered that this was turning her on.


    He smirked. She could not help the chuckle. He was such a horny bastard. Her husband was a restless creature.


    He swirled the noodles with his fork and bought them near her mouth. She leaned forward to eat it.


    When she sucked in all the noodles, her mouth forming a pout, Kian could not help himself from kissing the pout away.


    It made her giggle with a mouth full of food. He rubbed her naked back trying to not make herugh out loud before she choked on the food.


    "That''s not how you have dinner..."


    Tinsley said, gulping the noodles down her throat. It was getting so hot in here. Kian did not give any heads to what his wife was saying.


    All he did was smear his right forefinger in the soy sauce and then rub it all around her turgid nipple making Tinsley hiss. They were still sore and red from all his loving just a while ago.


    Her chest heaved up and down, her toes curled in when he leaned in and ran his tongue over her nipple, licking away the sauce.


    She bit her lips, looking right into his eyes as he licked her nipple clean. He stopped once it was crystal clear.


    "Oh, you didn''t know?? I have my dinners only this way..."


    Kian joked and all of a sudden, Tinsley could see in her head a woman...particrly that Thea Stilton on hisp, giggling as he kissed her on the dinner.


    Her mood turned sour and Kian noticed the change of colour in her face. He was aware something was wrong.


    "How many??"


    "How many what??"


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 99 - WHAT THEIR MARRIAGE MEANT TO HIM?

    "Oh, you didn''t know?? I have my dinners only this way..."


    Kian joked and all of a sudden, Tinsley could see in her head a woman...particrly that Thea Stilton on hisp, giggling as he kissed her on the dinner.


    Her mood turned sour and Kian noticed the change of colour in her face. He was aware something was wrong.


    "How many??"


    "How many what??"


    Kian did not understand his wife''s stern question to him. He did not get it what did he say for her to get all serious and broody??


    "How many women have you dine with like this before me??"


    Tinsley asked, not holding back anymore. She did not feel any more ashamed of asking anything like that or nervous.


    He was hers as much she was his. And the thought of him being lovey-dovey with other women that were not her made her skin burn in hell.


    "Is my wife jealous now??"


    Kian kidded, trying to soften the situation. But Tinsley held onto her ground.


    "I have never bothered to do anything with them after we were done on bed."


    He answered. And it was true. He always made them aware of the fact that he had no time to romanticise.


    He was so caught up in his work all the time. Hell!! He did not even have time to socialise with the society and let the head of his PR department attend all the parties on behalf of him or send Madison away.


    "And what about Thea Stilton??"


    Tinsley could not help but let that name out in pure revulsion. Her name had been ringing in her head the moment Nathaniel mentioned it to her in his car how everyone thought Kian and her to be the end game.


    "Thea Stilton??"


    Kian had not heard the name in ages. Sure Valeria tried to set him up with Thea a lot of times but he never felt the connection with her even when at one point he did think to try...it just never happened.


    The question was where did Tinsleye to know this name??


    "How do you know..."


    "Nathan told me..."


    She cut him off and Kian loathed that man''s name right away foring out of his wife''s beautiful mouth.


    "That bastard!!"


    Kian muttered under his breath, already ying with him...trying to steal his wife by dropping names of females he bedded.


    "He told me how...how everyone thought you and her to be endgame."


    Tinsleypleted, boring her eyes deep into his, trying to study them.


    "It is true, Valeria set us up multiple times because she thought she was the one for me..."


    Kian started. He wished to let Tinsley know the truth that he had nothing for Thea even though they hooked up multiple times.


    "But we never had that connection you know??? Or at least I did not feel it...we were not ever meant to end up together..."


    He exined to her and she listened to him very attentively. He appreciated that.


    "And do you feel the connection with me??"


    Tinsley implored, not being held back the thought that kept poking her, piercing her heart that their marriage was only because he wanted to protect her from Josh.


    What if he never felt anything for her?? And that it was just an arrangement to keep her safe and protected??


    "Or is it just to keep me safe?? Our marriage??"


    Kian could not think of an answer just yet. It was not the kind of conversation he thought, they were going to have over dinner like this??


    Naked, sitting on hisp, her rosy nipples dripping with sauce...not the ideal circumstance to have such hard-on chitchat.


    He had no idea where to start, how to start. He surely could not say that he did not grow attached to her...he did more than he could ever think of it.


    He always viewed her as a beautiful woman. Their first encounter at that party did catch his eyes but he never sought it to be anything more than that.


    When she was under his care, he felt a dire need to protect her and keep her safe.


    It was the only thing he felt for her. But when she started to talk about how they used to be lovers in their childhood caught his attention.


    The way she would talk about their memories to him...her eyes all dreamy and lips loving the story she was narrating.


    It gave him an inkling that she must have loved him as he had never experienced anyone love him in a while.


    And how sad that he did not remember any of it. That wonderful love, she so dreamily talked about.


    It was only at that moment he saw her in a different light. When she told him about their first kiss...he felt a rush to kiss her again and feel what it felt like.


    Once he joined their lips together...he kepting for more and the simple lip locks turned to heated make-out sessions.


    Their rtionship was a question to him. He could never think of what it was. That what made him drive back to her at weekends?? The man who never once left work behind at weekends too.


    And the marriage...it sure was to protect her from Josh, to free her from his monstrous clutches. He never intended it for anything else.


    But with time...of course, it had grown to be more than just that. Yet he did not know how to tell her all that...not giving her wrong signals in the middle.


    Tinsley''s hope was fading for a positive reply from her husband as the time ticked away, waiting for him to speak up.


    "Is it not obvious to you that it of course is more than that??"


    He asked her. Tinsley turned her attention back to him. Kian rubbed her back soothingly when he opened his mouth to exin to his wife...what their marriage meant to him.


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 100 - "YOURE MORE THAN JUST A DISTRACTION!"

    "Is it not obvious to you that it of course is more than that??"


    He asked her. Tinsley turned her attention back to him. Kian rubbed her back soothingly when he opened his mouth to exin to his wife...what their marriage meant to him.


    "I always wanted you, Tinsley Randall...the moment I saw you in that Herrington party.


    You caught my eyes with that beautiful smile and your eyes as you looked out for him amidst all that people.


    You missed my eyes looking at you, standing by the bar. You even did not bother to peek at me when I held on to your shoulders, not allowing to fall you when he raised his hands on you and you were about to lose bnce.


    At first, all I saw you as my charity case but not after I kissed you..."


    Tinsley continued to listen to him, not opening her mouth for once.


    "The kiss changed everything, Tinsley...I did note the week to avoid you because you kepting into my head...I thought that the distance would ease that but I could not help ande back to you..."


    She remembered that night when he sneaked inside her room after a week-long of not visiting her.


    She thought that he was over her. He did not want to meet her anymore or he grew out of it.


    "And the marriage...yes it was to protect you...it was only to free you from him..."


    Tinsley''s face grew pale, expecting the worst to hear anytime now...him confessing that their marriage was only an arrangement for him to protect her...and not anything more.


    "...but on the wedding night...things changed...not because we had sex...only because I m too used to you having around me now than letting you go..."


    Whatever he was saying, she was not understanding at all. His words were confusing only because he was himself confused, not getting the right words to speak.


    "...I need you, Tinsley...more than I ever thought I would. I might me you for the things I lost in anger and frustration but...there is one thing, you must know...you must always know..."


    He cupped her face, urging her to look up at him. Tinsley licked her lips as her throat felt dry, fearing the worst toe.


    "You must know that I would do it over and over again...only to have you and lose everything to have you??


    I will forever do it..."


    "That how much you mean to me..."


    Even though he did not confess that he loved her, something about whatever he said in this long while....made her believe that he indeed felt for her more than he let out...she could see it in his eyes.


    She leaned in to peck his lips, closing their eyes, both cherished the moment.


    Kian never in his wildest dream that one day, he would be exining how he felt to a woman and there he was, hugging the nude figurine of his wife in contentment.


    She was the first woman after Serena Williams to make him feel like that. And there was it...out in the air.


    The thought of Serena William...her face got reflected in his mind as he hugged his wife.


    It was disturbing to think about another woman while embracing your wife...it was cheating.


    But he could not help it. He had forgotten about her for so long and it was Tinsley...her pressure on him to get his feelings in words made her back to his memoryne.


    He wondered where she was now?? How was she??


    All of these were very sudden questions. He had no idea how and where they wereing in.


    "So they did not mean anything to you??"


    Her question made him look at her. He shook his head in negative even though in his heart, he knew he was lying...he did not intend to provoke his wife with a woman, he used to like once upon a time and had no contact with.


    "You are the first for me...more than just a distraction..." Just like Serena was...


    He did not speak thest words out. Tinsley was d that at least there was no woman whom he had in more than just sharing a bed.


    "How about you??"


    He diverted the question back to her. For her, it was very simple...there had been no one but him...always him.


    "You were the first to stir love in my heart. Josh was my obligation but my heart always belonged to you..."


    Her answer made him feel guilty internally. The sincerity in her eyes when she always confessed her love for him. It was unbelievable.


    "How could it be so??? Have nobody caught your eyes ever?? As you said, I left without an answer...did you not hate me after that??"


    Kian asked. He wanted to know how could she love him even after he left her without any notes.


    "I came back to the mango tree, the next day...but you never returned. I kepting until one day my heart believed my father''s words that you really did leave...and were noting back ever again..."


    Tinsley''s eyes watered as she thought of those days back. Her voice was shaking in the next moment, struggling to not cry the words out.


    "...my only regret now...I wish I never did believe that you were gone and should have searched for you sooner...but I wasjust so weak and pathetic back then Kian...I trusted my father..."


    "It''s fine...you do not have to say anything anymore. "


    Kian pulled her back in for a hug, trying to calm her down. His inability to watch her in tears was disturbing to him.


    "I love you..."


    She muttered, muffling her sobs on his chest. He ran his fingers in her red hair.


    "I know."


    He said, only hating the fact that he could never say that back to her...or anyone ever.


    ________________________________________________


    ________________________________________________

 Chapter 101 - "PLEASE!!! DONT DO THIS!!! "

    They remained like that, hugging each other for a while. Tinsley felt at peace listening to his heartbeat. They calmed her restless nerves down.


    Kian kept running his fingers over her red hair. They had eaten the food in silence after that.


    Although it was clear to her that Kian liked her...cared about her. If he did not then he would surely not have married her to protect her. He indeed liked her.


    But one thing kept poking her mind. It was getting in her blood vessels making her think more even though she knew it was stupid to even have that thought.


    A few minutester, after doing their nightly ritual, both got under the duvet. He leaned in to peck in her lips and then slept on the other side.


    Tinsley watched him sleep but she could not. It was very disturbing. Why was it so hard not to think like that??


    She asked herself. It was one of the things he told her earlier and it was eating her mind up.


    He said that she was more to him...more than just a distraction. Should it make her feel good?? Or not good??


    Did he mean those other women in his life were all distractions to him??


    Madison had told her how Kian never dated anyone or entertained anyone for more than one night.


    He used sex as a rxing mechanism. Something that made him stop thinking about work all the time.


    It made her then realize that before tonight, they never seriously had any kind of brief conversation.


    Every time...everywhere, whenever they were together...all they did was have sex.


    Before getting married too, he woulde to make out with her for hours straight.


    The only time they were not eating each other faces was when they were hungry and eating food. By the time they would finish eating, he would get up to leave.


    The one moment when he sneaked out on her for a week and then returned...they fought.


    And just like a few days back, after the wedding, he used her of losing his property. Even though he was drunk and she should not feel anything but his words did hurt her.


    When there was a phrase saying that people speak their true feelings out in the drunkard state.


    Was he using sex as a distraction once again?? Only because he had nothing to work upon??


    It was this question piercing her mind nonstop and she was having a hard time sleeping on it.


    ________________________________________________


    She squirmed in her slumber as the ray of sunlight illuminated the room.


    Sweat beads dancing on her forehead, her breathing was heavy and it was racing.


    She felt her inside getting hard as if forming a knot in her lower abdomen. Her hands held tightly on the ends of her pillow, trying to make it stop...whatever that was happening to her.


    "Come..e for me, baby!!"


    It was that voice...it wasing from the south and that made her open her closed eyes to look down.


    Her thighs were spread open, two hands holding it tight and a head in between asking her to let loose.


    She bit on her lips as she gave in to it, holding onto his hair, pulling it hard when she finally let it go...listening to what the faded voice was asking her of.


    Kian''s mouth was drenched with his wife''s liquid as he snaked upwards, leaving kisses all over her t stomach, making his way up.


    He held her hands locked up her head and licked his wet lips as he found her pair of rosebuds poking out in his attention.


    He checked up on her...her bright eyes closed, chest heaving up and down, anticipating what he might do next, totally under his mercy.


    He dipped down to take one of her nipples inside his hot mouth. She cried out when he bit on her hard.


    She tried to break free from his hold but it only made him hold her hands tighter and sucked her nipple harder than before.


    He grazed the skin with his teeth and then pulled it out. Tinsley moaned out in pain and pleasure.


    It was something new he was doing to her. He had never gone hard on her only because she always looked so fragile and cute.


    But today morning, all he wanted to do was fuck her hard, bite her skin, leaving marks everywhere so that everyone would know who she belonged to.


    He also wanted to fuck her till it hurt her, ached her pussy when she walked and that would remind her of him...who owned her.


    Every time the cloth of her bra would scrape her nipples, she would hiss out in pain and it would remind her of him...who did this to her...who owned her fucking body...


    This made Kian deaf to his wife''s crying and he went on biting on her nipples which were sore fromst night.


    She tried to get him off her. This was not her husband trying to make love to her. It was someone else who she had no idea of.


    She moved in opposition. But his hold was strong. Her protests only fired him more to go on.


    "Kian...stop... it''s hurting me!!"


    She said, struggling to break her hands from his hold. Kian did not listen to her and continued with his rough acts.


    Tears spurted out of her eyes and it scared her the more time passed. He got off from her breasts and showered kisses all over her chest as he positioned himself inside her.


    "Please!!! Don''t do this!!"


    She pleaded in her weak voice. It would ruin everything they had built so far. She knew it...if he did not stop right then...he would never be the same in her eyes again.


    Kian gave her a crazy smirk and shut her mouth up with a deep rough kiss and thrust his hardened length inside her in one hard stroke.


    It shook Tinsley as the kiss muffled in her cry of pain. As he began thrusting in and out of her violently, still in his own world...Tinsley began to wail as she realized that her husband was forcing himself on her.


    "Please!! Stop!! Kian...I request you!!"


    She whispered out in pain and deep grief. He kept jamming inside her. It felt like a knife stabbing her insides over and over again.


    At one point, she felt like giving up and let him do whatever he wanted. It was a losing battle.


    She had no idea why it had happened or was happening. What had gotten into him?? Or why was he even not listening to her??


    When she looked at his eyes, they were closed and it was as if he was lost somewhere and in a mission to achieve something.


    She slipped her hands out from his firm hold somehow and then tried to push him away but he was too heavy. She could never push him off of her when he did not intend to do so himself.


    Time felt like it had slowed down because he kept going on and on and she remained in a deep dilemma of what to do and what not to do.


    She kept struggling to get him back into his sense or fight him off but neither was working.


    When she thought toy back and bear, counting on the seconds but it never came to an end.


    All Kian saw in his head was Tinsley smiling at Nathan, holding hands with none other than his arch-nemesis.


    It made him more furious and his movements became more violent. He had gone too deep toe back and see the reality. He had been possessed.


    Tinsley could see that. He was not here. Kian was not here. Her husband was not here. It was a different man...a stranger...an unknown stranger.


    It gave her a boost to screaming out in a hellish way. It made Kian stop altogether and he opened his eyes almost instantly.


    He looked down at his wife...a crying mess, her face all covered with tears and red from something...what was going on??


    He stared at her with no idea, still inside of her. Tinsley pushed him off her and then rushed out of the bed towards the bathroom all stark naked.


    Kian eyed her in a question. What the fuck just happened?? He could not think of.


    They were having sex of course then why did she scream like someone was about to murder her and ran away from him like he was the intruder??


    He got out of the bed too and decided to follow her back in the bathroom but then decided against it and just walked out of the bedroom.


    Tinsley inside the bathroom was thankful that he did not follow her but she could not help but be afraid to face the monster next time.

 Chapter 102 - "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?? "

    When she got out of the bathroom all freshened up and dressed, she saw Kian pulling out his t-shirt over his head.


    Her eyesnded on his hard toned torso and it drifted down to his hip bones. His pants hung low on his waist.


    Kian did not notice hering out of the bathroom but when he did, he found his wife staring at him in a daze.


    She took so long toe out, he was done preparing a simple English breakfast for both of them.


    Even he ate his one before her. He was thinking to go for a shower after she came out. He still did not know why she was acting so weird.


    "Your breakfast is ready and served at the table."


    His voice made her soul pull back into reality. She did not know how long she had been standing there and daydreaming.


    Not knowing how to respond to that, she just nodded her head and was about to head out but stopped when he called her name.


    "Tinsley, be ready, I will drop you off at Madison''s ce. Anna Maria wants to meet you."


    He said, looking at her backside, standing on the threshold of the door.


    She shook her head in positive and finally stepped out of the room.


    He thought that news would at least make her talk to him and tell him what was wrong and when she did not, he just gave up and stormed inside the bathroom to get ready.


    Tinsley slowly walked towards the kitchen, her mind full of thoughts from what happened in the morning.


    She had to be careful while scrubbing her body clean in the bathroom with the scrubber as it felt so sore from all that he had done.


    And here how normal he was behaving as if nothing had happened. Making breakfast for her and taking out to meet Anna Maria....how??


    She ate the toast and coffee fretting what had gotten into him when he was doing that to her??


    Did he really not hear her cries, small screams of pain and begging him to stop after which she had to scream out loud and push him off of her??


    "And you are not ready yet??"


    She turned sideways to see him ready with his car keys and she was still seated on the dining table with half-eaten food.


    How long had it been?? She thought. But had no time to think about it and stood up.


    "I m ready."


    She said and walked out of the house before he could say anything anymore. Kian narrowed his eyes at her retreating figure.


    Her hairs were still wet from the bath and notbed. She was wearing a sleeveless yellow summer frock and all her hickeys were out for the show.


    Kian just shrugged his shoulder not knowing what was actually the matter with his wife.


    Although he did not mind her showing off the marks that he had painted on her body at all. But he knew that something was just not right.


    She did not even react to be happy on getting the news of visiting Anna Maria and going out, dressed like that...something was probably not right.


    When she stepped out of the building, everyone passing by gave her a look and walked away gossiping.


    It made Tinsley question, was something on her?? Did she not look alright?? What was wrong??


    She was well aware that her hairs were wet. She let it down for them to dry like that. She had no acquisition of a hair drier at the moment.


    She waited impatiently for Kian to get down. What was he even doing up there?? She wondered and he climbed down almost immediately after that.


    "Forgot myptop, sorry!"


    He said and headed towards the Range Rover. He opened it with the keys and got inside.


    Tinsley still could not get it why the people were giving her weird looks. She was not even wearing any revealing clothes.


    When Kian honked, she too walked forward and got inside. Kian started the engine once she had put the seat belt on.


    He was d that at least today, she would not be approached by other men when he was not there.


    So he was happy about that fact and not to forget how bold she was being on wearing his mark like that without any hint of shyness. He was pleased about that.


    He could not stop fromnding his left hand on her exposed knee. It made Tinsley jerk back to the present.


    She looked down at his hand on her exposed thigh, touching her knee cap soothingly.


    Kian smiled when she turned to look at him. His smile was just so breathtaking. He was a handsome man and there was no denying that.


    Perfect grey eyes, a sharp jawline, pointy nose and dirty blond hairs. His skin was not pale white like hers. He was tanned in perfection.


    Kian noticed his wife''s eyes on him while he drove, keeping his eyes forward on the road.


    "Is there is something wrong??"


    He asked in his manly hoarse voice. He was getting aroused by the way she was staring at her nonstop.


    Tinsley took a moment to respond to him in negative. She had no idea that he had noticed her watching him.


    It was then she also decided to ask him if something was wrong with her too. She had no idea of why the people back there were giving her looks.


    But decided against it and dragged the car mirror down to her side and she could not help the gasp that left her mouth.


    Her exposed neckline and chest skin were all covered with purple-red bite marks. It went down to her cleavage.


    How the hell she did not notice that while dressing up??


    She rotated a little to see her back and it was of the same condition. She groaned in annoyance thinking what people must have had thought about her.


    It was only then Kian came to know that she was unaware of it all. She was not wearing them because she knew but because she did not.


    "How stupid I m!!! "


    Tinsley eximed. What was she going to do now?? How could she go looking like this to meet the old woman??


    Her mind was so stuck on what happened in the morning that she had forgotten about everything. She did not bother checking herself on the mirror for once.


    "What''s wrong??"


    Kian asked, feigning innocence. It made her look at him with so much anger. He knew what was up but continued to act like he had no idea.


    Tinsley pped his hand away from her knee and that made him turn to look back at her.


    "Why don''t you say it?? What is wrong??"


    He implored. He was getting a bit irritated by her behaviour since the morning.


    She has not spoken out one word to him ever since storming out of their bed when he was in the middle of fucking her.


    Tinsley did not like the sound of his tone and chose to remain silent, narrowing her eyes at him and then rolling it away.


    It made Kian more irate that he wanted to stop the car right away and teach her a lesson for being a brat.


    But they were in a four-way, about to reach the main road in the city. He could not park anywhere now.


    He decided to let it go for now but he would not forget it. He was going to teach her how to behave right.


    Tinsley watched the city skyscrapers on reaching the main road. It felt like she had been out for months from here when it had only been a few days in the town.


    On seeing the line of shops, she asked him to stop. She needed to change into something quick to cover her marks.


    "Pull over here."


    Kian did not oblige right away and gave her a questionable look. They were about to drive past the showrooms so Tinsley shouted.


    "Stop right here!!!"


    And he did. She was fast to grab his coat and opened the door to head out. Did not even give him the time to react.


    When she ran inside the store, wearing the coat over her head. He understood what it was. Hended a fist on the middle of the steering wheel.


    Tinsley was quick in picking up a full sleeve necktied shirt and jeans and ran out of the shop, getting inside the car.


    Kian started the engine and started driving again. For half of it, both of them remained silent and just continued to drive.


    When they reached the ally to Madison''s house, Kian turned over. He has not been here, in this part of the city ever.


    "When we reach home, get ready for your punishment."


    He spat at her, parking the car nearby. That made Tinsley to look back at him but it only made her furious.


    "What are you going to do?? Force me again??"

 Chapter 103 - "CAN WE NOT TRY WITH MY FAVOURITE?"

    When they reached the ally to Madison''s house, Kian turned over. He has not been here, in this part of the city ever.


    "When we reach home, get ready for your punishment."


    He spat at her, parking the car nearby. That made Tinsley look back at him but it only made her furious.


    "What are you going to do?? Force me again??"


    She vehemently threw it at his face, getting reminded of what he did to her in the morning and then stormed out of the car.


    Kian was beyond mad. How dare she talk to him like that?? And on top of that use him of something so dirty??


    When did he ever force her?? Even on the wedding night, it was her...she initiated it. He had asked her so many times.


    Damnit!!! How dare she do that to him!!!


    He too got out of the Range Rover and jogged up to her. She was not that far so he held her back, pulled her towards him, holding her wrist.


    "What the....??"


    Tinsley shrieked, shocked. She was not expecting him toe after her. He looked beyond angry...he looked crazy mad.


    His grey eyes turning into a shade of darkness just like in the morning. It made Tinsley more cautious as she tried to back free from his hold.


    "Leave me!!! You beast!! Get your hands off of me!!"


    She struggled, trying to get her wrist free from his tight grasp. He was like a bull pulling her back to the car.


    She made sure not to scream hard for they were in the middle of the neighbourhood and did not want to create any scene in the very morning.


    "You do not talk to me like that and think you can get away with it."


    Kian said, in his rough voice and that made Tinsley fight him more. She did not want to go back with him at all.


    She was scared, afraid that maybe this time she could not be able to stop him. She was too weak physically to stop him.


    "Kian...let go of my hand. Let go of me before someone sees us..."


    She whispered, yelled. She had no idea why he was even getting mad about it. She was the one who should be angry at him, not the other way around.


    Kian did not hear any of her pleas and continued to drag her down the street.


    He pasted her body in between his and the hood of the Range Rover. His hands holding tightly on her shoulders.


    "There they are!!"


    Both turned back to see Madison, waving at them, two houses away, from the veranda.


    Tinsley breathed in relief while Kian groaned in annoyance. All he wanted at that moment was to take her back home and teach her the lesson.


    Madison strode towards them and Tinsley pushed him away from her. He let her go and stood in the side.


    "Nana just served the breakfast..e on in you both."


    Madison chirped, excited. Kian had never visited her residency of all the times they had worked together.


    It was a miracle even to find Kian Randall in this part of the city but well time does things and people end up taking paths they never in their wildest dream thought they would.


    "I will pass. I had breakfast. "


    Kian said. Madison pouted and Tinsley was d that he was noting along. She was not ready to have food from the same table with him or be anywhere near him at the moment.


    "Just one bite, won''t hurt... Tinsleymon persuade your husband to stay!!"


    Madison tapped on Tinsley''s shoulder urging her to do as she asked her to. Kian looked in his wife''s way waiting for her to request him to stay back.


    And if she did, he was going to stay back. They both looked at Tinsley who fluttered eyes to and fro thinking what to do and what not to do.


    "I...I think he should just..."


    "...stay right??"


    Madison cut her off in the middle, pping her hands like a kid expecting Tinsley to say the same and Kian gave an adoring look to Tinsley.


    "He should just leave for work. "


    She said staring right into his eyes and saw how the small invisible smile faded off from his face even before it could fill his face.


    "What?? Why??"


    Madison protested and it was all he needed as he did not wait another moment and got inside the Range Rover and drove off.


    Tinsley breathed in relief when the vehicle was out of their sight. She wondered if he was upset or angry at her for this.


    She did him a favour though. He did not like to be in gatherings as he had said one day.


    "You guys fought and wanted time apart, should have told me. I looked like a fool trying to do that."


    Madison rolled her eyes and then both started walking towards the house. Tinsley thinking how the hell Madison got to know about it.


    On reaching home, Anna Maria engulfed Tinsley in a big hug. The old woman missed her.


    In olden times, she would not even allow Tinsley out of her sight even for a second and here it had been months since she saw the young girl even though they met a week ago at her wedding.


    "You look beautiful, my child. "


    She said, observing Tinsley''s posture from bottom to top. Tinsley smiled. She always felt the motherly vibes around Anna Maria.


    Something she never felt with even her own mother. She was always busy being by her father''s side


    "You look exquisite too, Anna Maria."


    Tinsleymented to which Madisonughed out loud. Both the women red at her and Madison just raised her hands up in surrender.


    "Let''s just eat ok?? I m hungry from waiting for them. "


    Madison said and all of them headed towards the dining table. All the dishes were served so neatly just like it was served back in her home. Tinsley remembered.


    "I thought Kian would join us too...so cooked all of this. "


    The old woman confessed. It was at that moment, Tinsley felt bad for being selfish and asking him to go when he wanted to stay.


    She could see in his eyes that he wanted to stay only if she allowed him to. But she let it out otherwise.


    Madison saw the change of colour on Tinsley''s face and started to serve her food on the te.


    "I made your favouritesagna and pae. Eat it. "


    Tinsley groaned both in happiness to see her favourite meal but also in sadness for having to eat it all. She had already had her breakfast but did not want to dishearten the olddy for all the efforts she had put in preparing all of these.


    Without saying much, they all dug in their tes and Madison did not miss the chance ofplimenting each of the dishes and so did Tinsley.


    When they were done, all of their bellies felt so full that both Madison and Tinsley found it difficult to stand up from their seats.


    "Now How M I going to go to work??"


    Madison grunted out and both Tinsley and Anna Maria chuckled at her condition. She overate and now she was too full to work.


    "Do notugh you both...I had a meeting with John Malling to talk about new investments and looking at my condition right now...I need to reschedule it at least for an hour from now."


    She exined and stood up holding her full tummy and walked towards the bathroom in slow steps.


    Tinsley and Anna Maria held back theirughter for a while andughed out loud the moment, Madison disappeared inside the bathroom.


    After helping, Anna Maria cleaning the dishes and setting the kitchen in order, it was already past one hour since breakfast, and Madison got ready to go out.


    She bid farewell to both thedies and then drove away in her Audi. Anna Maria waved at her granddaughter''s speeding car.


    "So what do we do now??"


    The old woman asked, happy to be in Tinsley''spany.


    "Will you teach me how to cook??"


    It was something she wanted to learn and failed to learn from the youtube channels.


    Tinsley could not see anyone better other than her to teach her to cook. Anna Maria nodded happily.


    "Of course, my child. But what do you want to learn first?? "


    Tinsley thought for a moment, not getting what she wanted to learn to cook fast. There were so many dishes she wanted to learn to cook.


    "Maybe starting with your husband''s favourite will be best??"


    Anna Maria suggested and that made Tinsley to look up at the old woman. She indeed would love to learn to cook his favourite but he never mentioned what he liked to eat the most.


    "Can we not start with my favourite??"


    Tinsley implored and Anna Maria chuckled.

 Chapter 104 - "DO NOT GIVE UP COZ WHEN YOU DO ITS OVER! "

    Anna Maria and Tinsley started their cooking lesson.


    Anna Maria was well aware of her knowledge of the kitchen so she started from the very basics.


    Tinsley gave her full attention, learning every technique from cutting to chopping onions.


    One time she got a small cut on the middle finger while chopping the onions.


    Nevertheless, it was not anything major so they both continued with the lesson after Anna Maria attended to her wound and put a bandaid on it.


    She was happy that she was finally learning something. She eyed Anna Maria''s every move with wide-open eyes and even tried to remember a few of her secrets about how to make the food tastier, a few shortcuts too.


    Tinsley learned to cook her favourite pae and she could not be any more delighted.


    She almost forgot about the incident in the morning until Anna Maria mentioned about him.


    "Now when you go home, tonight, cook him this."


    She almost forgot that this day was about to end and he would be here anytime then to pick her up.


    This ce had been like her safe zone, making her forget about all the bad memories and finally doing something productive instead of thinking all day long.


    Regardless, Tinsley smiled in Anna Maria''s way and then both thedies headed out to start talking about anything else other than cooking since they had been doing only that since the morning.


    Anna Maria had agreed to be her mentor in cooking and to teach her every single day and that made Tinsley jump up and down in happiness.


    She was going to meet this amazingdy every day with the excuse of learning cooking just like in the olden times.


    Anna Maria apanied her everywhere, stayed by her side, everywhere she went and to be with her again after these long months of separation had bought her immense joy.


    Both of them enjoyed each other''spany over a cup of hot coffee, sitting outside on the porch as Tinsley waited for her ride back home, unwillingly.


    ________________________________________________


    "You arete, Miss Maria."


    John said, standing up when Madison walked up to him, eyeing him a mild apology.


    "I had an issue with my full stomach...sorry!!"


    She apologised and took her seat. John did the same. The cafe was almost empty. She could tell he had reserved all of the ce for themselves.


    Typical rich people! She thought. As if everyone was interested in them.


    "Any refreshments, Miss Maria??"


    He asked. Madison shook her head in negative. She had eaten a lot for the day.


    "No thanks, John and please call me, Madison. Maria is my nana''s middle name."


    She said, awkwardly smiling. John nodded in positive.


    "My sources say you are unemployed, Madison."


    "I m, John. At the moment, I m."


    Madison confided and it was nothing new for everyone trying to hire her back because she had a good record of ten years almost working with the sessful Wilson heir.


    "May I ask why??"


    John implored. He always had an eye for her. Even in the official gatherings to the fundraising parties, he could not take his eyes off of her.


    "Well...I just like working with only one boss and that is Kian. "


    Madison chuckled. She had no major other reason for not working with someone else.


    And she knew that she was not going to remain unemployed for long. Kian would find a way and she did not mind it at all however long it took.


    "Do you guys are close??"


    "What do you think, John??"


    John smiled and soon after both started talking about business. Madison was trying to gather for investors in Kian''s newpany.


    The time he took to think about what their new firm would be about, Madison spent it looking out for investors.


    It was hard with the recent news and almost everyone came under the influence of Valeria Wilson. She was ying dirty.


    But Madison did not give up and went on booking appointments with the state millionaires and billionaires.


    Most of the time, they ignored but a few with whom she met, they showed their disinterest and there was nothing more she could do about it.


    They asked for her to contact them whenever they came up with the idea. Madison would keep notes.


    With John Kravinsky, she was really looking up to seal at least one confirmed investor.


    Kian had no idea that Madison was doing all of these. She knew that he would reject it right away and she could tell he would do it the other way but there was no more time to waste.


    When John agreed, it took her by shock. But it came with a price and that was a date with him.


    "So what do you say??"


    Madison watched him dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer that. Perhaps he did not know that she was not into guys, not many did anyway.


    "Just one date and if it does not goes well, I will never ask for another one."


    He offered. She saw it as a golden chance to secure at least one good investor.


    Anyway, one date would not hurt. It had been long since she went on one so she agreed and it made John very happy.


    He gave a kiss on her right cheek, looking forward to their date. His secretary would contact her with the details, he told her, standing up to leave.


    Finding an off time in the life of a billionaire was a hard job. Madison very well understood that and she knew that she was only going to waste his time but she was desperate so stuck to lying about her real identity.


    ________________________________________________


    When Madison reached home in a cheering mood, she saw Tinsley still there, conversing with her nana.


    It was then she remembered that she forgot to drop her back home on time. Kian had asked her to do since he was busy coding.


    "Tinsley, I m so sorry, Kian asked me to drop you home and I gotte. Let''s go now."


    She said, again picking up her keys and Tinsley nodded, getting up to leave not before hugging Anna Maria. She had the most amazing day today.


    Driving silently on the road, Madison looked sideways to see Tinsley deep in thoughts, watching the cars outside through the window.


    "What did you guys fight about?"


    She asked, chewing her gum. Tinsley tilted her head to look back at Madison. She had no idea how to tell Madison about it...about what happened.


    "This and that."


    She lied, looking away. Madison could tell that she was avoiding the talk and so did not press harder.


    "Fights are inevitable in a marriage you know..."


    Madison muttered, driving, eyes straight on the road. Tinsley listened in silence.


    "At least it''s verymon in rtionships. There was not one moment, I had not to fight with her...."


    She continued as if talking to herself. It had been long ago but the memories were very clear and vivid in her mind.


    "Especially when the person is stubborn, rich and bratty...fights are more likely to happen, you know..."


    She said, looking at Tinsley who gave her a weird look of not having any idea what she was blurring out about.


    All she could hear was the part where she mentioned ''her''. Did that mean Madison was gay??


    "Of course, I m. Did you not listen to the albums I had in the Range Rover??"


    Madison confirmed her suspicion. Tinsley was thinking out loud and blushed about being caught.


    "I did ask Kian but he shrugged it off."


    She let out. Madison chuckled.


    "Don''t you think, I would have hit on him if I were straight?? "


    It made sense then why they were both so professional to Tinsley. Madison went on about how so many people thought she and Kian being in a rtionship and it made themugh behind the closed door.


    She had asked Kian not to tell anyone and he had kept it like that for years and she was d about that.


    "So who is her??"


    Tinsley questioned. It pricked her interest to know what kind of girl Madison liked.


    "Her name is Lana Del...a model."


    Tinsley smiled and Madison''s cheeks got painted red. Even though it had been a long time, still her name made her blush and giddy.


    "What happened?? Clearly, you like this girl from your looks."


    "We dated secretly. She was not ready toe out and well we both decided to give up...those times were frustrating with work and her, trying to keep us as only a secret...I did not see any reason to keep going on and now, I know, how wrong I was...or I m..."


    Madison let out in a deep sigh. It was hard to see her on the cover page of every modelling magazine.


    When they reached Tinsley''s home, she parked it before it.


    "Do not give up, Tinsley because when you do, it''s just over."


    Madison mumbled, holding onto her hand.

    Madison let out in a deep sigh. It was hard to see her on the cover page of every modelling magazine.

    "Do not give up, Tinsley because when you do, it''s just over."


    Madison mumbled, holding onto her hand.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley very slowly and unwillingly made her way inside the building after Madison dropped her.


    She climbed the stairs, praying to God that he was not home just yet. She was not ready to face him yet.


    She might sound overreacting but she could not bring it to herself to stand straight and confide in him.


    When she reached the floor and stood in front of their door, she took a second break before she opened the door.


    "Do not give up, Tinsley because when you do, it''s just over."


    Madison''s voice rang in her head like a siren.


    But she was not giving up on him...was she though??


    Her ignorance and avoiding his presence was kind of giving him that type of message regardless of any attempt from her side.


    She opened the door and then closed it behind her. She turned towards the rack to hang her coat.


    "You arete once again."


    Kian observed his wife, entering their apartment and taking the coat off from herself and hanging it on the rack.


    She was oblivious of his presence. He was sitting on the living room sofa, silently, waiting for her in darkness.


    "You scared me!!"


    Tinsley scaredly said, putting her hands on her chest, trying to calm her breathing down.


    She thought for once it was Josh again, hiding in the darkness, waiting for her to hijack herter.


    She strode forward, switching the lights on and then taking a seat on the opposite sofa, facing him.


    His constant stares were making her self conscious and ufortable after their encounter in the morning.


    No one was stepping ahead to break the silence and she continued to look back and forth at him and on the floor.


    "I do not want to give up!!"


    Tinsley spoke out in one breathe, shocking both herself and him.


    She had been thinking about Madison''s words so much that they just slipped out of her lips without a break.


    Kian frowned at her, not understanding what exactly she meant by that. Tinsley looked down ashamed of her sudden outburst.


    He could not hold back from sitting in his ce long after his wife''s cheeks started reddening in embarrassment.


    He got up and sat beside her. Tinsley licked her dry lips not knowing what to do and what not to do.


    She remembered him...his threat to her in the morning that he would punish her when she would be back home.


    Was he going to do that right now??


    She thought internally. Her heart started thumping against her chest, getting nervous being so close to him.


    Kian sensed the behaviour change and was concerned about why the hell was she behaving like that with him.


    What did he even do??


    It was getting on his nerves, trying to understand if he did something to offend her and that was why she was being so bratty.


    "Are you going to punish me now??"


    Her timid voice almost...almost melted his heart, making him want to engulf her in a big bone-crushing heart and dere that there would be no punishment.


    The way she fluttered her eyshes up to peek at him, like a scared kitten...she looked damn tempting and cute at the same time.


    His wife was cuter than sexy. With a kitten-like adorable face and sexy hourss figure...one could say he got very lucky...he indeed did. There was no denying in that.


    "Not now...butter."


    "Oh!"


    She mouthed, forming her lips in an o shape, nodding her head towards him. At least she had some time to prepare for it. She thought.


    "What did I do??"


    He stepped right in, giving up the cat and mouse game of chasing after the truth of what actually happened in the morning.


    She nced back at him, not expecting him to question her about that at all. She was thinking that he would me her for everything in it.


    "You...you hurt me...I asked you to stop but...you for...forced..."


    "...I never forced myself on you..."


    Kian was very quick to cut her in the middle. He might have been rough with her but never forcing...never.


    "You did...I asked you to stop but you did not..."


    "I could be rough but never force myself upon you..."


    Kian denied, shaking his head and so did, Tinsley, standing up, shaking her head furiously.


    "I had to scream to stop you, Kian!!"


    She yelled. Kian also stood up and they were both face to face, both standing on their ground.


    "You...you bit me...so hard and then you continued even when I asked you to stop...and.."


    "I do not always like soft vani sex, Tinsley...I like it rough most of the time...maybe try getting used to it."


    Kian spat, not liking the fact of being used of something like forcing himself on a woman...and that too on his wife...


    Tinsley was beyond frantic at him and mad for asking her to get used to it. How dare he ask her that??


    She opened the button of her t-shirt and Kian just eyed her weirdly, not getting what exactly she was trying to do at the moment.


    Tinsley speedily opened all the top buttons and opened the shirt to reveal her bra d chest. She pulled her sets of breasts out from the bra to show him what exactly he did.


    "What do you have to say now??"


    She questioned, as tears spurted out of her glossy eyes.


    Kian ran his eyes over her breasts and was a bit horrified to look at what he did.


    Bite marks littered all over her, her right nipple encircled with his deep teeth mark and both of them looked dull red and sore. It seemed as if they might hurt even if touched very lightly.


    "I...uh..."


    He was speechless as he looked up at her and then back on what he did. Tinsley enclosed her shirt back, closing the buttons up.


    "If this is what you like...do not ever fuckinge near me."


    She spat on his face and then ran away to their bedroom, not giving him any second to react.


    "What the hell did I do!!"


    He muttered to himself, all alone in the living room. He had not realized he was so rough and harsh with her.


    To say, he did not even hear her asking him to stop either until she screamed and pushed him off of her hard.


    He felt bad for her and was remorseful of his actions. He had never been that kind of rough with anyone.


    He sure did enjoy rough sex more than the soft one but never did in his lifetime, he marked someone like he did to her.


    He needed to apologize to her right away. He then understood what he did and why she was avoiding him all these times.


    In his sick jealousy and insecurity to mark her as his, he did not bother checking up on her.


    He reached their bedroom and softly knocked on the door, asking her if he coulde in.


    He heard her light mewling cries and it saddened him to be the reason behind her tears.


    He got inside, eventually and saw her crying, a face emerged on the pillow, her body curled up inside the duvet.


    He walked up to her, not wanting to scare her anymore and took a seat beside her.


    "Tinsley...baby, I had no idea that I was so rough..."


    His words made her wet the pillow more as she deepened her face more onto the pillow, not wanting to face him.


    "I m sorry...please...forgive me!!"


    He said, rubbing her back warmly. Her cries were painful for him to listen to. It hurt him.


    "You will never do that to me again??"


    She voiced out, still crying on the pillow. Her muffled voice made it difficult to understand what she just said.


    "I do...I do, baby...I m sorry!! This will never happen again.."


    He agreed to her regardless and that made her rise up to look at him from the pillow.


    Her face was soaking wet and red from all the crying. It broke his heart and it hurt so damn bad that he could not stare at her anymore like that and engulfed her in a hug.


    "You promise??"


    "I do!!"

    ________________________________________________


    After an hour of silence and cuddling, Tinsley fell asleep in his arms.


    Kian smiled, staring at her pure, innocent face. The tear strains still pasted on her soft cheeks.


    He rubbed his thumbs over her, lightly and then leaned forward to give a small peck on her lips.


    Tucking her on the bed, under the duvet, he walked out of the bedroom. He was not sleepy...far from it.


    He pulled out a cigarette from inside his pants pocket and strode towards the balcony, attached to their bedroom to smoke and think.


    It had been a few weeks now and still, his mind was nk...not knowing what to work upon.


    The market was filled with so many things. For the first time in his life, he felt insecure that what if his product would not do well.


    What would he do then??


    With no investors, no money from his side, he felt helpless. Maybe it was true, he became so sessful in the shortest length of time because everything was handed to him??


    Maybe Valeria was speaking the truth??


    He blew the smoke out, stressed and felt trapped. If he were single, he would have moved out of here and maybe settle in a different country, a different ce where nobody knew who he was.


    It was difficult to work where everyone knew who he was, what he used to be, his tainted reputation...had made it impossible to step back up.


    He wanted to release his tension out. Usually, in olden times, he would head to any club and get any woman he wanted and let it all out on her.


    But now, he could not. His wife was so beautiful, he did not need anyone else but her. He was duped in her beauty and innocence.


    Although she could never be able to take what he wanted to give her. He had seen what had happened and it was disturbing.


    If it was anyone else...he would not have given two fucks but then it was his wife...not just someone else.


    He felt trapped, imprisoned...did he rush into a lifelong decision without giving much thought about himself.


    At that time, all he thought about was her freedom. How to free her from the clutches of that bastard.


    Nothing was going in his way...he was so powerless, felt too vulnerable to even try and change things.


    He could not even do that...change...not without asking her. She was a part of his life now and he felt anxious that she would leave him with one wrong movement.


    He threw the cigarette and then walked inside, wore his shirt back and then headed out, picking his keys up.


    He drove to an old shabby town bar. He needed to drink his feelings out. He did not like this feeling of defenselessness.


    "One hot whisky. "


    He ordered. The bartender nodded and gave him his ss in a minute time. Kian held the ss and took a small sip, looking around.


    The bar was filled with people. Loud music sting out of the speaker, drunken men and women dancing their lives out on the disco dance floor.


    A few girls batted their eyshes on him, biting their lips, near the counter. He rolled his eyes and took another sip of his drink.


    "What a surprise!!! To have the great Kian Wilson in the shadiest ce of the earth."


    Kian turned around to see Nathaniel Anderson, smirking at him.


    "My bad...Kian Randall."


    He chuckled. And then moved forward, taking a seat beside him.


    "One scotch."


    Nathan ordered and within seconds, the bartender passed him his ss. Kian pretended to ignore his presence.


    "You lost everything, but got her, huh??"


    It made Kian peek at him immediately. Nathan smirked at him. He could see that he was whipped already, not be a month to the marriage.


    "I met her."


    Kian kept his lips sealed, drinking his whisky, although not liking where this conversation was going.


    He came here to release his stress and find a pinch of peace but the Almighty had other ns for the night.


    "She still looked the same...beautiful and exotic, you know."


    Nathan continued. He knew that his words were provoking Kian and he wanted to see how long he was going to control himself.


    "Still innocent and damn...those lips could say some really pretty things..."


    Before Nathan could finish, Kian grabbed him by his shirt cor and pulled him nearer.


    "One more word about my wife, Anderson and you will never visit this bar."


    Kian was threatened with extreme fury and pushed Nathan away. Nathan snickered, straightening his cor.


    "I m not afraid of you, Kian. "


    "That''s where you are going wrong."


    Kian muttered. Both the men than having a face to face conversation.


    "You have nothing to offer her...within a few months, she will leave you."


    "You wish, Anderson. My wife loves me. I m her husband, she will never leave me."


    Kian smirked. For the first time, Tinsley''s confession for her love to him made him feel confident. He held his head high when he voiced that out.


    "She is naive. She is just infatuated by what you did for her and once it is over...I will be there for her...and im her as mine what I should have done long long time ago."


    And a hard fistnded on Nathan''s face, making him fall down on the ground. The bar crowd starting to scream.


    "You bastard!!! You will die before youy your damn eyes on my fucking wife."


    Kian roared and thennded a fist upon fist on Nathan''s face, sitting upon his torso.


    Nathan very helplessly tried to reach out for anything in the background and when he found broken ss, he smashed it on Kian''s head.


    Kian fell back and before Nathan couldnd upon him, the men held him back and on the other side, a few held Kian back.


    They thrashed Nathan out of the bar and a few momentster did the same to Kian.


    Nathan red at him and spit out blood from his mouth before driving away in his car.


    Kian too after a while, drove back home. He now wished, he should not havee here. Everything got moreplicated.


    Nathan''s words rang in his mind over and over again. How Tinsley was infatuated by him and not in real love.


    How possibly could he know if she was really in love with him or not?? How could he prove that it was real and true..her love for him??


    What if she really leaves himter?? What if she would feel fed up with him??


    Looking at the present circumstance, he was not offering her anything more than poverty.


    They even had fights. What he did to her in the morning, she almost ignored him and avoided him the entire day.


    What if all these, one day would make her leave him??What if she realized he was not worth it??


    All this thinking made him restless and relentless to feel her. He needed to go to the home and feel her.


    So he drove quickly and stormed inside the building, walking straight to the bedroom.


    Tinsley woke up from the noise of closing and opening of the door and gasped when she saw the condition of Kian.


    "Do not say anything, please. I just need to feel you."


    That was all he said before joining her on the bed and hovering atop her. She looked at him with confusion when he lifted her skirt up.


    "Kian...what are you doing??"


    She whispered, being sceptical. Kian leaned in to kiss her red lips.


    "Do you trust me??"


    She nodded her head after a while of staring and it feared Kian that she would deny it.


    "So let me please be inside you...feel you...I won''t hurt you, I promise."


    He said and not giving her any more time to think, plunged himself inside her in one hard stroke.


    Both moaned at the contact. Tinsley winched a little as she was still sore down there. Kian mumbled a faint sorry but did not stop.


    He pulled out only to jam himself back inside her. With no forey, she felt the burning sensation.

 Chapter 107 - "WILL IT BE THAT BAD, HUH? "

    "Do you trust me??"


    She nodded her head after a while of staring and it feared Kian that she would deny it.


    "So let me please be inside you...feel you...I won''t hurt you, I promise."


    He said and not giving her any more time to think, plunged himself inside her in one hard stroke.


    Both moaned at the contact. Tinsley winched a little as she was still sore down there. Kian mumbled a faint sorry but did not stop.


    He pulled out only to jam himself back inside her. With no forey, she felt the burning sensation as he moved in and out of her core.


    His movements were hard and it moved the bed as he thrust himself inside her. He hastily opened the buttons of her shirts and stared at her bra d breasts in deep lust.


    Kian did not bother to pull her breasts out and leaned in to kiss her hardened nipples through the bra cloth, wetting it with his saliva.


    Tinsley moaned out. She pulled her breasts out from the bra and eyed him her consent, asking him to go ahead.


    Kian did not waste another moment, as hetched on her rosy nipple. She could smell alcohol from his mouth.


    His movements got faster as time passed and Tinsley could not stop from moaning his name out in pain and pleasure.


    He rested his face on her right breasts as he jerked himself inside her, emptying his seeds deep in her womb.


    Tinsley closed her eyes, feeling the hot, warm release of him inside her. She hugged him to her body as he did to her.


    He kissed each of her erect sore nipples and then looked up at her face. She was glowing from post-sex.


    "Tell me you love me. "


    He said, rubbing her swollen lips with his thumb and forefinger. He craved to listen to her voice, telling him she loved him.


    "I love you."


    Tinsley confessed, looking straight into his dark eyes. He mmed his lips against her, thrashing his tongue, taking her mouth.


    Tinsley did not like the alcoholic taste and smell of his mouth but regardless kissed him deeply.


    She could tell that something was up...something was wrong. He was acting differently.


    He grew hard inside her again and she could feel it. Before he could go on for more, she stopped him.


    "I might get pregnant."


    "I don''t care...We will take the morning-after pills."


    He muttered and started fucking her again. This time his movements were urgent and rough.


    "Tell me you are mine."


    "I m yours."


    Tinsley whimpered as he kept jamming his hard length in and out of her very speedily.


    His hands parted her thighs more to drive himself more deeper inside her core.


    She could see that he was going back to that morning state. To a different world. His thrusts were painful and hard.


    But she did not stop him. He let him take her the way he wanted. He groaned in extreme pleasure. Her pussy clenched around him making him breathless.


    "You are mine, baby...all mine...everything about you is mine..."


    Kian grunted out the words, fucking her senseless, holding on her jaw in a tight grasp, making her look at him.


    "Look at us baby...how beautifully we connect..."


    He said, slipping one hand down and parting her pussy lips to have a clear view of him going in and out of her wet core.


    "You can never leave me, Tinsley."


    "I will die but not...not leave you ever."


    She whispered out. All the actions, all the sensations in her body, inside, outside was making her feel delirious.


    "These tits are mine."


    He groped both her breasts in his hands and kneaded them painfully. She winched but did notin.


    "Only I can see them, kiss them, lick them, suck them..."


    He groaned each word out, licking and sucking her nipples as he dived in and out of her furiously.


    "This pussy..."


    Hended a hard p on her cunt, making her scream out faintly.


    "...is mine too...only I can fuck it."


    Saying that he started rubbing her clit. Tinsley squirmed in his hold. She could feel her orgasming in.


    He rubbed her bundle of nerves furiously and Tinsley bit her lips, preventing herself from screaming out his name out loud.


    "That''s it...that''s it..e for me baby..e all over me..."


    Kian excited her so much that she came undone all around him, moaning and cursing.


    He waited for her to gain her consciousness back from her high and when she did, he resumed with his movement.


    "I will never let you go, Tinsley...I will mark you from inside and outside as mine... only mine...you will only feel me even when I m not inside you...you will breathe me even when I m not around you, baby..."


    His speed became sloppier and more urgent. She could feel him nearing his end. So she pulled him in her arms.


    He cuddled his face in her lumpy breasts as he shot himself once again deep inside of her, filling her to the brim.


    She could feel some of it, sipping out from inside her drenched core to her inner thighs, staining the bedsheet.


    Both of them were breathing heavily. Kian did not both get himself out of her or pulling his weight from her.


    Shended a chaste kiss on his forehead, running her fingers over his messed up, wet hairs.


    "What if I get pregnant, Kian??"


    She questioned after a brief pause. He did not answer her right away and just hummed.


    "What if the morning after pills would not work?? I heard sometimes it does not..."


    She continued, massaging his head. He found peace in that. Laying over her chest, listening to her heartbeat.


    Her warm pussy radiating heat on his manhood which was growing hard again.


    He yed with one of her nipples as she continued to talk about the what-ifs. He was too absorbed at the moment to speak up.


    Would it be a bad thing if she ended up pregnant??


    Kian thought in his mind. Would it change things if they have a baby??


    His and hers??


    But there was a thought in his mind that was disturbing, although very assuring about one thing.


    Their rtionship....their marriage would be more secured if she carried his child.


    In that way, she would never leave him. She would be forever tied to him through the baby.


    Her carrying his child would pass a direct message to all those men lurking after his wife...a direct message that she was off-limits to everyone but him.


    "Will it be that bad huh??"


    He asked, making her look down on him, not understanding what he meant.


    "Will it be that bad if you carried my child?? Do you not want to be the mother of my child, Tinsley??"


    That took Tinsley by shock. She remembered how he imed to be not wanting any kids and now...


    "We are married and I will love to see you pregnant with my child...tell me do you want it or not??"


    He implored, getting up from resting on her chest and staring at her with expecting eyes.


    "I do...I would love to but..."


    "No buts..." He shushed her, putting his forefinger above her lips and getting up to position himself inside her again.


    "It is decided then...I want you to be pregnant with my child, Tinsley...I will love nothing more than to see your belly, protruding, carrying my child inside...will you do it, baby??"


    Kian asked her once again, expecting she would say yes. Tinsley could not fathom what led to this but she nodded her head positively after a while.


    Kian pushed himself inside her one more time. Tinsley gasped at the contact. Her core throbbed with pleasure.


    Kian''s movements were slow and sensual this time. His eyes peeked at hers as he moved in and out of her wet channel.


    She raised her hands up to cup his face, running her fingers over his messy hairs, lovingly.


    She was a little unsure at first but at this moment being with him, had removed any of those doubts she had about having their baby.


    With an open heart and arms, she gave herself to him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and legs encircled his waist trapping him in her.


    Kian smiled and pecked her face with so much adoration he ever had for any woman in his life.


    He groped both her breasts in his hand, squeezing the flesh, leaning down to lick one of her nipples.


    "Can''t wait for these jugs to be filled with milk."


    He whispered, in his hoarse voice, staring at her breasts. Tinsley blushed at his words.


    "Can''t wait to see this belly grow with my child inside it."


    He caressed her abdomen, littering kisses all over the naked skin and Tinsley moaned out in euphoria.


    So did Kian, after a while as he emptied himself inside her, groaning and staying in that position, not letting a single drop to flow out of her vagina.

    "Will it be that bad if you carried my child?? Do you not want to be the mother of my child, Tinsley??"

    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley squirmed, giggling as her husband tickled her sides for not letting him have his way with her.


    "Are you not tired??"


    She asked, not being able to understand from where this man gets his stamina of going on and on.


    "Tired of what??"


    Kian implored, hugging the naked body of his wife from sideways, wrapping his legs above hers and hands circling her narrow waist.


    "...of this."


    Tinsley gestured to themselves, blushing at the same time. No matter however much they had made love, it would always make her shy thinking or talking about it.


    "Tired of fucking you??? Never!!!"


    His crude words made her giggle and push her head more onto her pillow in shame.


    "And now we have a baby to make."


    "I think you did thatst night."


    Tinsley muttered, a sweet smile stered on her face the entire night and now in the morning.


    She never had been this happier in her life ever. He made her so happy. She could never imagine her life without him in it.


    "Hmm...nope. Until that test pops positive, darling get used to having me inside of you all day and night."


    Kian said, climbing up on her and trapping her under his mercy. His knees parted her thighs and his right hand held both her wrist, locking them up on her head.


    "All day and night?? "


    Tinsley grasped, not believing her ears. Was this man being serious?? She eyed him questionably and when he did not flutter, she got him...he was not joking.


    "Who will work then??"


    "Madison."


    Kian''s answer made them bothugh out loud. And in that very moment, he dived his hard pole inside her core, making them both moan out in pleasure.


    "I will not stop until I put a baby inside you, darling."


    He let out, starting to move in and out of her again. Tinsley closed her eyes feeling full and stretched by her husband''s cock.


    She took everything he gave her. His thrust was nowhere near too soft and loving. They were rough, hard and fast.


    Fromst night, she had gotten a hang of it. Of all their lovemaking, she could tell now that Kian loved it rough.


    And even though, it pained her down there, but the pain was the kind of pain you crave yourself once you have the taste of it.


    She enjoyed it...loved it when he jammed himself inside her without a warning and start to m in and out of her, furiously, not giving her enough time to get used to his girth and size.


    He would dive so deep inside her that she could feel the tip of his dick hitting her womb and it made her cry out in both pain and pleasure.


    The way his girth and length would stretch her to herlimit and beyond, made her eyes water, her lips bitten to stop from screaming and cursing out his name.


    "Don''t stop...don''t stop!!"


    She voiced out, as he banged her hard and fast. She liked the sound of their skin pping against each other.


    Sweat beads from his forehead would drop on her face as he would huff in for air and so would she.


    Her hands would hold tightly on his biceps resting either side of her body to match with his movement.


    And when the moment, he would let himself out deep inside her...no matter how many times he had done that, everything would make her feel so powerful, desirous and rxed.


    The sound he would make, cursing and groaning as he came inside her unprotected womb...his face contoured into a mixture of contentment and tiredness.


    It made her feel so good. Everything about him made her feel so good. He was bing her addiction and she did not mind at all.


    "I love you!"


    She would say it every time after the ending of their love making and he would lean down to give a chaste kiss on her parted swollen lips.


    Even though he had not confessed yet to her, his actions spoke loudly to her that he loved her, more than he himself was aware of it just like her.


    He was about to go down on her but she held him up and pushed his body on the bed as she climbed above him.


    "I m sore baby. "


    She said and Kian rolled his eyes as if he did not like the sound of that. He loved being inside her...it was his safe haven.


    When inside her, it made him forget about anything and everything. She was like a dug to him and he had every right in his hand to have her and take her however much he wanted her.


    "I will cook you breakfast, you go shower."


    She let out, cing a soft kiss on his chest, just above his beating heart. Kian groaned in annoyance, not liking the idea at all.


    "I thought we were showering together?? Save water, save earth!!"


    Kian protested and Tinsley pped on his chest with her fist, pushing him to go towards the bathroom.


    He cursed his way out and inside the bathroom. Tinsley shook her head and got up too. Putting on his spare shirt, she steadied the bed sheet and headed out to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast.


    She cooked what she had learned from Anna Maria, the pae. She hummed a song as she cooked with contentment.


    "Kian!! Come out if you want to eat it hot."


    She yelled out, serving the pae on two tes. She was so consumed in the work that she did not notice the presence of her husband by the corner.


    His hairs were wet from the shower, the white towel hung low on his waist. He could not part his eyes off from her.


    His shirt barely reached her inner thighs. When she would bend down, her ass was visible to his eyes right of the hook.


    He could see a strand of white dried of liquid flowing down her inner thighs to her legs and the thought of how much he filled herst night, made him hard for her once again.


    So without thinking much, he strode towards her like a predator ready to hunt down his prey.


    He encircled his hands around her waist and Tinsley gasped, shocked. She was not aware of his presence.


    Her backside was pasted to his front. She could feel his erection in between her ass cheeks.


    "Kian..."


    She whispered, feeling hot all over again. Her core started to throb, her breathing became erratic as his hands slid up her backbone.


    He held her neck and then started kissing it, biting her earlobe in the way.


    "I m going to fuck you so hard and you are not going to deny it."


    He untied the knot of the towel and it fell onto the cold floor. He kneed her thighs apart and started rubbing her drenched core with the tip of his cock.


    She moaned, closing her eyes at the feeling. He pushed her body to the counter and then mmed right inside her channel, making her scream out his name.


    He started to thrust inside her hard and fast. It made her waist hit the edge of the counter repeatedly but she did not mind the pain, for the pleasure she was getting was mind-boggling.


    His hands moved to her front and tore his own shirt off of her body and held her breasts as leverage as he moved in and out of her.


    Tinsley licked her dry lips, missing his mouth over her. The moment she did, he turned her around and lifted her up in a way making her sit on the top of the kitchen counter.


    He quickly again inserted himself back inside her and leaned his head down to kiss her neck and breasts.


    She wrapped her legs around his naked waist and both cursed and groaned, reaching their high together once again.

    ________________________________________________


    After they showered and made love in there once again, Tinsley kicked him out of the bedroom to dress up for the day.


    He was just so insatiable. Always hard around her. Even when she would do nothing, he wouldin about his erection every time she was around him.


    As if it was her fault, his cock would spring up to life. They both had their breakfast and Kianplimented her to heaven for cooking a so tasty breakfast.


    Tinsley could not help the smile and feel proud of her work for the first time. He made her feel so special and unique.


    After that, he drove her to Madison''s house. On the way, he would sneak his hand in between her thighs, and she had to p him away countless times.


    When they finally reached their destination, he pulled her in for a kiss, a deep one, thrusting his tongue inside her mouth.


    She moaned at the kiss as his tongue tasted her mouth. He chuckled tasting the pae in it and both could not help the smile that spread on their faces.


    "God!! I can''t get enough of you."


    He muttered, pulling away, resting his forehead on top of hers, their nose touching as they breathe in the same air.


    "I will miss you."


    She said, touching his subtle jaw. It was spiky and she loved the feel of it against her naked skin.


    Kian got out of his side and opened the door for her. She got out, holding his hand and both walked towards Madison''s house.


    They stopped at the front of the house and she tiptoed up toy a chaste kiss on his cheek before going in but he held her back and was about to give her a goodbye kiss but the door swung open.


    "Oh my God!! My poor innocent eyes!!"


    Madison shouted and Tinsley pushed Kian off of her, maintaining a distance between them. Kian red at Madison for ruining the moment.


    "Nana thought you were noting for once."


    Madison mouthed, walking down from the patio. Tinsley blushed to recall why they werete.


    She could feel her insides tingle, her core wetting her underwear as her mind recalled their hot lovemaking session.


    Kian eyed her at the same time and their eyes interlocked with each other for a sh of a second.


    He could not help the smirk on his face when he realized his wife was wondering about their fucking session in the morning.


    "Ok!!! Ok!!! Enough with your guy''s eye to eye fuckery...Nana is waiting for you inside and you..."


    Madison said, snapping her fingers before both of their faces, pulling Tinsley towards her and pushing Kian away.


    "..you have work to do."


    Kian narrowed his eyes at Madison for snatching his wife away from him. Madison poked her tongue out at him.


    Once he was gone, she looked in Tinsley''s way.


    "So you guys patched up huh??"


    She asked. Tinsley blushed, nodding her head in approval. She was just so happy sincest night.


    She was married to the love of her life, living the best moments and nning a family together. What more could she ask.


    "We are trying for a baby."


    She dered the news to Madison, not being able to keep the happiness all inside her stomach.


    "You are what??"


    Madison questioned out in utter astonishment. She could not believe her ears about what she just heard.


    "He wants a baby."


    Tinsley said, as her cheeks painted itself to red. But after a moment of staring at Madison who looked anything but happy about the news.


    "Is something wrong??"


    She asked, getting concerned. Was she missing something here?? She thought to herself.


    "Why?? I mean why all of a sudden??"


    Madison implored. It was not her to tell them but she knew that this moment was not the right one to bring a child into the world when they had nothing to offer the baby.


    "What do you mean why all of a sudden??"


    Tinsley queried, not understanding what was wrong with having a child at this time.


    "I mean...you and Kian are not in the best situation to have a baby right now."


    "Why?? I love him. He is my husband and we are married and if he wants the child...what is so wrong about having it now??"


    Tinsley intervened. Madison shook her head in disapproval. She did not want to sound mean at all. She never should gave opened her mouth against it. She thought.


    "Don''t you understand, Tinsley???


    Babies are costly. Do you think you and Kian are at your best financial right now?? He has no job...he is living with his savings which will end anytime and both of you are unemployed. What are you going to do once the baby is born??"


    It was what Madison said, made Tinsley look at the situationpletely in a different light.


    She had never thought about all that. It was true indeed. They had nothing. How could they behave like a fool and even think about bringing a child into this world at the moment.


    "Look... I know how I sound so rude and mean. And you both will love this baby but it''s not enough...love is not enough to raise a child, Tinsley."


    Madison softened her voice to make her understand theplexity of their decision.


    "Kian...I do not even know why he is so eager to have a child right now because he hates kids...I know that...we both share the same taste so I know it. "


    Tinsley clearly remembered the morning after their wedding night, how he told her he hated children and never wanted one.


    It took her by surprise too when all of a sudden he wanted onest night. She was hesitant at first in agreeing but the excitement and expectation in his eyes made her not able to say no to him.


    "If you guys end up having the baby, then sooner Kian would have to give up his dream of building his own empire again because once the baby is born, he would need to look out for a job like any man...so if you are both ready even after this, then go ahead have the baby....but if not...then don''t. "


    Madison stressed thest part. Tinsley did not know how to react to that. Making Kian give up his dream of building his own empire and getting back his position and reputation in the society, it made her see that it was better not to have a child at the moment.


    She promised him that she would return everything to him and bringing a child right now would again lead him to be pulled away from his dream.


    But then again, she was afraid now. They have had so much of unprotected sex, what if she was already pregnant??


    What was she going to do now??


    All the happiness that she had imed in the morning, bid her farewell as her mind started to think about their difficult circumstance once again.


    "Let''s get you inside. Nana is waiting and I need a dress for my date."


    "Date??"


    Tinsley raised her eyebrow. Did Madison got back to her lost love??


    "Are you back with Lana Del??"


    Madison rolled her eyes at Tinsley for being some. She knew she had list Lana long ago and there was no getting back to her.


    Even when the reality hurt, it was the truth she epted it and was trying to move on although it was hard to do so.


    "No, silly. Date with John Kravinshky."


    "You are going on a date with a man??"


    Did not she say she was gay??? Tinsley thought to herself.


    "A business date. Nothing serious. I will tell him that I m into girls. "


    Madison replied. Tinsley nodded and then walked inside the house. Madison got inside her Audi to shop for a dress for her evening date.

    "I mean...you and Kian are not in the best situation to have a baby right now."


    "Why?? I love him. He is my husband and we are married and if he wants the child...what is so wrong about having it now??"


    Tinsley intervened. Madison shook her head in disapproval. She did not want to sound mean at all. She never should gave opened her mouth against it. She thought.

    "Kian...I do not even know why he is so eager to have a child right now because he hates kids...I know that...we both share the same taste so I know it. "


    ________________________________________________


    The entire day after the talk with Madison, Tinsley could not think or do anything straight.


    Before all these, she was so excited about when she would get pregnant but now she was afraid...scared that she might be already.


    And if she was, everything would be over and change altogether. What if Kian would me her and their child for it??


    She would not be able to bear that kind of pain. Her mind was full of thoughts and she could not do anything about it.


    Once, the daylight transformed tonight, Madison offered to drop her again just like the previous day.


    She did not mention about the pregnancy again and both of them drove in silence.


    Madison spoke about how she was feeling giddy with the iing date and that it would be her first time going out on a date with a man.


    All the talks went right over Tinsley''s head as she continued to look outside the window, her thoughts driving inside her mind just like the cars outside on the road.


    When they reached her home, she mumbled a small thank you to Madison before getting out of the car.


    "Tinsley?"


    She turned back to face Madison, poking her head out of the window.


    "Do not stress, everything will be fine."


    She assured her, Tinsley nodded hesitantly and headed inside the building.


    With uneasy steps, she climbed the stairs and opened the door to see something she had not expected toe at home in.


    The living room was transformed into a paradise. Rose petals showered on the floor, dim candle lights glowing in the darkness.


    A table with food was set in the middle. Heart-shaped balloonsying on the floor, some flying in the air.


    Tinsley was awestruck as she stood, rooted on the threshold of the room. She could not process everything that she saw in front of her.


    And suddenly from the other side, Kian dashed inside, holding a te of freshly baked cake and ced it on the table.


    He did not even notice that she was home. And when he did turn to look in the door''s way, he gasped as if not expecting her at that moment but then a smile appeared on his handsome face.


    It was all she needed to ease her mind. Staring at him, being so carefree and with a sweet smile that she very rarely gets to see on him, she could not help the smile that stresses her lips either.


    "Surprise!!"


    He said, walking towards her, pecked her lips in for a chaste kiss and lead her inside, holding her hand in his warm ones.


    "What''s all this for?"


    Tinsley asked, looking around when they reached the table. Kian made her sit on the sofa and joined her right away.


    "Before everything, I just realized I never took you out for a date."


    Kian said, watching his wife''s beautiful face glowing in the light of the burning candles everywhere.


    "I have never been on a date either."


    Tinsley mumbled to herself. It was something she saw in movies, read in books, heard the women talking about their lover arranging something romantic for them but never in her wildest dream, she thought she would live the day to be in one.


    Her honest reply made Kian''s heart squeeze in a bad feeling. He cursed himself for not doing that before...taking her out when he had the money, to cherish her in a warm ind he owned, across the country.


    "Then I m the luckiest man to have the honour of being your first date."


    Kian remarked, pulling her out of her thoughts. Tinsley adoringly eyed his grey pairs of eyes, staring back at her with the same fondness.


    She could not help herself from leaning forward and kissing him with her love deep embedded in her beating heart.


    Kian closed his eyes, cherishing the moment. He did not need any proof anymore to verify her love for him...if it were real or just an infatuation as Nathan had imed.


    The kiss told everything...the way she pulled his lips in her mouth, it was her message to him that she had epted him with all his ws and mistakes.


    Not every person could ept you that way if they did not love you with every living core of their existence.


    He smiled in the kiss and deepened it, cupping her face in between his big hands.


    It was as if he had found new energy to make this woman, near him, feel like the only woman in the whole wide world...the most special and beautiful.


    "As much as I like the taste of your lips...I want you to eat all these before I get to eat you, baby."


    He let out, pulling away from the kiss making Tinsley''s cheeks bright red from what he just dered.


    She thrashed his body away from hers, yfully. He did not let go of her hand, resting on hisp.


    "This...this is just so beautiful. "


    She whispered, looking around. For her, it felt like living in a movie scene. A scene rolling with the cameras intact, her the heroine and him the hero.


    "I m d that you like it...I worked really hard for it."


    "I love it!"


    She said, raising her eyebrows, appreciating every bit of thing, the decoration, the food he had cooked for her.


    "I had a hard time arranging it...I have never prepared a date myself."


    Kian started, a little bit shy for admitting his immature moves if there were any while doing it all by himself.


    "Following the inte was not my first choice...but with the limited budget, this is what I can offer, Tinsley...not a candlelight dinner in a five-star restaurant. "


    He confessed, being honest and true about how he felt for the very first time in his life to a woman.


    Tinsley moved to look back at him. He was looking down on the floor as if ashamed of not being able to offer her more.


    "Your love is what I have always wanted, Kian...not some fancy candlelight dinner in a fancy hotel. "


    She replied, extending her right hand to caress him, lovingly. Although she did not like that he spent money to arrange all these when they were in such a tight situation.


    "Even though you need not have to go through this when we are in a situation like this...right now."


    She let out and Kian groaned in disapproval. He did not mind spending it...when it was being spent on her.


    "You do not have to worry about finance, baby...I did tell you this is just temporary right??"


    Kian asked her, expecting a yes from her. He did not want to lose her for poverty.


    As much as he disliked the idea of liking someone to the point of fearing they might leave you after the death of his mother, he had grown to like this woman beyond his capacity to deny it further or ignorance.


    "I do not mind if this is permanent either...the point is Kian, I will be happy wherever you are even when it''s on the street or ice...anywhere...I only need you and want you by my side."


    She confided in him, thinking he would stop being so insecure about the fact that she might leave him one day due to his financial situation.


    "And I do crave the same about you."


    Kian muttered.

    "This...this is just so beautiful. "


    She whispered, looking around. For her, it felt like living in a movie scene. A scene rolling with the cameras intact, her the heroine and him the hero.


    "I m d that you like it...I worked really hard for it."


    "I love it!"

    "Your love is what I have always wanted, Kian...not some fancy candlelight dinner in a fancy hotel. "


    ________________________________________________


    He fed her one piece of the cake he baked with limited ingredients.


    She moaned to the taste of the food inside her mouth, closing her eyes, savouring it to her best time.


    Kian had to control himself to keep sitting back, instead of lunching himself upon her.


    Her moans were so magical and enchanting to listen to. They were like music to his ears.


    "So how is it??"


    He asked expectantly. He had never baked a cake before. Being with this woman...who now was his wife made him do things, he had never done before or thought of doing ever.


    The cake was not the best. It was not like the cakes she grew up eating but it was the first one from her husband.


    "It was a bit..."


    She started with a slightly disappointing face and Kian looked down, getting upset that he could not do it right.


    Tinsley could not hold the chuckle as she saw how the colour of her husband''s changed in a second.


    "It was nowhere near to any of the cakes I tasted before..."


    "I know. "


    Kian muttered softly, eyes still glued to the floor. Tinsley kept her eyes on him and continued.


    "...but it was the first I ever tasted from my husband."


    Her reply made him look up at her almost instantly. She smiled so sweetly at him that it warmed his heart.


    "I know that I did a bad job...you can be honest with me. "


    Kian asserted. He wanted to really know how it tasted and whether she liked it or not.


    Should he have taken her to a restaurant instead of trying to act over smart and cook for himself??


    Now he had given her the first date from him to be ridiculed at in the future!


    He thought to himself. He could not provide her with the best of things, the way she deserved and here he was not even could not bake a decent cake for her.


    "It tasted like something salty and wet and thick..."


    Tinsley thought to be mischievous for the first time in their rtionship and it made Kian eye her with utter astonishment.


    He exactly knew what she was talking about. His eyes darkened with so many dirty things he wanted to do to his wife.


    "You are getting naughty, Mrs Randall."


    He said and Tinsley fluttered her eyshes as if she had no idea of what he was talking about at all, innocently.


    She was sessful in diverting the topic and she was happy that it worked. After what he did for her...everything, how the cake tasted did not matter at all.


    He was about to pull her to him but Tinsley pped his hands away, standing up.


    "I do not kiss on my first date, Mr Randall. "


    She mumbled, and Kian could not help the smile that took over his face. It was just impossible not to smile whenever she was around him.


    He very much was liking the game his wife was ying. He too stood up and without her realization, he pulled her towards him, holding her by her waist.


    Her soft breasts pressed against his hard taut chest, she lowers touched his and could not help the gasp that slipped out of her involuntary mouth.


    "Oh, you are wrong, Mrs Randall."


    "How??"


    She softly asked, his hot breaths fanning her face was distracting her from thinking straight.


    "I do not kiss on my first date either."


    "That''s good to know."


    Tinsley uttered. The way his eyes were looking in her way made her feel so hot. Suddenly her insides started sweating.


    "I only make love, Mrs Randall."


    Thest things he said, made her pale. Her cheeks tainted red as she felt his hands moving down and kneading her rear ends.


    Her hands tightly held onto his shoulders as her core started to beat up, her knees felt jelly inside and she pressed her body more onto his for support.


    As much as it was hard, not to throw this woman on the sofa and hike her dress up and have his way with her, but he had clear things to be done before they consummated their dating night.


    "But before that, I intend to have one dance with thedy."


    The way he said, it made her blush so hard and feel giddy so inside. He walked them to the centre of the living room.


    With no music , clearly, there was music, unheard in the background, only heard in their mind.


    Kian and moved her around in slow motion. Their eyes stick to each other. He pulled her back to himself.


    They moved their body in slow motion. She rested her head on his chest. His arms held her securely in his hold.


    "I might not be the best to you, Tinsley...but I promise to better from today onwards..."


    She rose up from his chest to look up at him when he started to talk. He rubbed her small back sensually.


    "I promise to be the better version of me for you and our iing child. "


    It passed chills down her spine as she heard his honest confession of her husband, his true words for her and the child...she was not sure to have or not have anymore.


    "It''s hard for me to tell these things to you...letting myself out and be vulnerable before you, I m not used to it. "


    Kian had no intention of evering to anyone in his life but here he was, standing with his wife, letting all of himself out to her.


    He held on to her waist tightly and it was enough to let Tinsley know how hard it was for him to be clean about himself.


    "After my mother died, I never thought I coulde to liking anyone as close I m to you...I never thought of letting myself get close to anyone as I m to you...


    Before I intended to hold myself back but now I m fully in, body, soul and mind with every ounce of me herewith you.


    I, know the conditions are not at the best and I give you my words that I will work hard to give you the life you deserve, you were born into and raised to be in one...the same for our baby. "


    He grinned, being emotional as he was speaking his heart out to a woman for the first time.


    "It''s very strange how a few years ago, I never thought of meeting a woman as beautiful as you...sharing an innate connection, marry her ande to the point of seeing a possible future with her, together, with our children. "


    A tear strand fell out of Tinsley''s eyes as she listened to each and every word from her lover''s mouth in silence.


    He rubbed her tears away with his hands, making her close her eyes, feeling his warm touch on her face.


    "Will you ept me to living a future beside me and our children, Tinsley Rutherford??"


    He asked the question, calling her in her maiden''s name. It was a proposal he was giving to her that he was never able to give her.


    All the doubts, thoughts, she had about bearing the child of this man, letting his heart out to her, vanished from her form.


    She was sure more than ever that this man loved her, cared about her. The sincerity of the promise he was making to her, was undoubted.


    She had never thought in her life or dreamt that someday she would end up with the fifteen-year-old boy, to whom she had lost her first kiss to, her first love.


    But the Almighty had blessed her enormously and here she was with him...married and to start a family together.


    How could she deny his proposal then??

    PRECAP


    "After my mother died, I never thought I coulde to liking anyone as close I m to you...I never thought of letting myself get close to anyone as I m to you...

    A tear strand fell out of Tinsley''s eyes as she listened to each and every word from her lover''s mouth in silence.


    ________________________________________________


    "Yes...yes and a thousand times, yes!!!"


    Tinsley started softly but then screamed out her answer and Kian could not hold himself back anymore.


    He swirled his wife around, being so happy. Tears shined in her eyes, along with the gracious giggles from her mouth as her husband spun her around, holding her up by her waist, in the living room.


    She had made him the happiest man alive on the earth. He felt all sorts of emotions, happiness, deep care and adoration,he thought he could never have for anyone.


    "You do not know how happy I m today!!"


    He said, stopping altogether, letting his wife down. She held tightly onto his biceps for support, her head felt dizzy from all the happiness.


    "You have made me the happiest man, baby!!"


    He leaned in closer, their face touching, the tip of his nose hitting hers. Tinsley fluttered her eyes open and close. Kian eyes her red lips.


    Before he could pull her lips into his mouth and taste her, she moved her head sideways.


    "Remember I do not kiss on my first date, Mr Randall??"


    He beamed and she smirked. He could not believe how much yful his wife was in even moments like these.


    "Forgive me if I did, Mrs Randall."


    He chuckled, still holding her close to him, not letting her warm, soft body go anywhere.


    "But I m not going to hold in making love to you as I had intended from the very beginning."


    Tinsley blushed and tried to get away from him but Kian pulled her back to him such that he rose her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist.


    And came in direct contact with his clothed bulge in her lower abdomen. She gasped and he made their way inside of their bedroom.


    He ced her on the bed, very slowly and it was only then she saw how the entire bed was covered with rose petals and lily fragrance.


    She awed in the view of the bedroom. He had ced scented candles in the corners and the middle. It looked exotic.


    "You have done so much..."


    She could not help but say it out loud. Nobody had ever been so sweet to her, done so much just for her happiness.


    Nobody ever cared whether she was happy or sad before her husband arrived in her life, not even her parents when they were alive.


    "I just want to give you the best of best...even though..."


    Before he could start again, Tinsley rose up from the bed and walked up to him, ced her forefinger on his lips, stopping him.


    "No more even though...buts...or anything else..."


    His eyes darkened, the way she stared into his eyes, so lovingly and with adoration. He kissed her finger.


    Tinsley turned them around and pushed him down on the bed. Kian let her take control for the night.


    She felt powerful and bold for the very first time in her life. Her chest heaved up and down as she strode forward in between the gap of his thighs as he sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for her patiently.


    Her hands very slowly, at first and hastily, atst, started opening the buttons of his shirt. He helped her in getting it off of from his bulky body.


    She got down on her knees and opened his belt and the zipper of his pants, freeing his hard length.


    He was so erect, and poked her lips, standing up. She touched him and he groaned out, closing his eyes.


    She plopped down and took his inside her mouth without a second thought. He was too long and fat for her to engulf him in one go.


    So she rubbed the base with her small hand as she licked the tip. Kian held her red hair in a fist as she blew him.


    At one point, he moved her head up and down, roughly, losing his control. She gagged, her saliva all over his hardened length.


    Despite everything, despite having difficulty in breathing, she tasted him, running her tongue on the tip and the base.


    One of his hands slipped down and squeezed her breasts hard, making her moan out in the between.


    He was so racked up that he woulde anytime so he lifted her from the floor and threw her on the bed.


    She bounced on it a few times and moved backwards as he came forward towards her.


    She slipped out the straps of her dress herself and he pulled it out of her body from her waist. She sat half-naked on the bed waiting for him.


    "You are so fucking delicious."


    He said, watching her seated on the middle of the bed, half-naked, her heavy breasts hauling up and down, erect rosy nipples salivating his mouth to suck on them.


    He kneeled and pulled her panty out from her slender legs. He saw how wet she was, her core was leaking.


    He pushed her down on the bed and got atop her. He kissed her neck and dropped wet ones down her chest. He licked her hardened buds and then sucked on them.


    She moaned out, pulling his hairs in a tight grasp. He littered kisses all over the underside of her boobs, going down on her belly.


    He poked his tongue inside her navel and she squirmed in his hold, feeling ticklish.


    He went further down and spread her thighs roughly, holding them in position and dived inside.


    The moment his tongue made contact with her core, she cried out in pleasure. He did not stop and continued licking and sucking on her clit as he inserted two of his fingers inside her together.


    She was a moaning mess by the time he got up and positioned himself inside her.


    He leaned down to kiss her. She kissed him back with equal fervour and passion and felt his cock easing inside of her.


    She closed her eyes when he was fully inside of her. He waited for a while and then started moving and out of her, slowly and sensually.


    He wanted her to feel his heart and soul when he made love to her. She opened her eyes back to stare at his as they synced their body together in the dance of love.


    She let herself open, and inside out for him to take her as he wished. She believed him more than herself and knew that together...they could do anything...anything.


    He mmed in and out of her, repeatedly, the sound of their skin pping and her moans and his groans were the only music that could be heard in the background.


    To him, in his eyes, at that moment, she was the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world.


    Indeed, she was. Tinsley Rutherford had a unique beauty just like her mother. Her autumn red hairs and light blue eyes were a mystery as none of her parents had it in them.


    It only made her look so exotic like the wildflower, white lilies and the first few drops on the green leaves. Her beauty was refreshing.


    He felt immensely lucky to have met her and now to be able to call her as his...his wife...his other half.


    He was close as the speed of his movement increased. He slipped his hands down to rub her clit.


    She cursed out as she let herself all over him inside her. He joined her right after, emptying himself deep inside her womb, mming his cock one more time inside, spurting his hot semen all inside her, his balls pping her ass.


    He groaned out in exhaustion as he rested his head in the crook of her neck. Both inhaled and exhale in rxation.


    She hugged him to her body, breathing in his manly scent in peace. He rose up to look at her.


    "I hope we made a baby!"


    He said and she smiled, rising up to peck his lips.

 Chapter 113 - "ITLL POP POSITIVE THE NEXT TIME!"

    PRECAP


    "Yes...yes and a thousand times, yes!!!"


    Tinsley started softly but then screamed out her answer and Kian could not hold himself back anymore.


    He swirled his wife around, being so happy. Tears shined in her eyes, along with the gracious giggles from her mouth as her husband spun her around, holding her up by her waist, in the living room.


    She had made him the happiest man alive on the earth. He felt all sorts of emotions, happiness, deep care and adoration,he thought he could never have for anyone.


    "You do not know how happy I m today!!"


    He said, stopping altogether, letting his wife down. She held tightly onto his biceps for support, her head felt dizzy from all the happiness.


    "You have made me the happiest man, baby!!"


    ________________________________________________


    Seven days had passed and Tinsley could not be any happier than she had ever been. But her husband proved her wrong every day because he would make her more happier than the other day.


    Her day would start with him eating in between her thighs and mind-boggling sex in the shower.


    Each time, he would make sure to fill her up so much that she could feel his remnants inside her when learning to cook with Anna Maria.


    She had gotten so much better than before. She could then chop the onions as fast as Anna Maria and not hurt her fingers in doing so.


    She had learned ten dishes in total to make, including deserts. She felt content with her life for the first time, how it was going on.


    In the evening, she would be greeted home by her sweet husband, to whom she looked forward to meeting as the daylight would end.


    In his arm, they would talk about how their day went, sitting on the balcony, viewing the town as the sun would set below the horizon.


    Making dinner as he worked at the kitchen counter with hisptop andpliment every other minute, how good the food smelt.


    And as promised, they still had their dinner with her sitting on hisp from one te.


    He would feed her and her to him. His hands would try to do some naughty things but she would p them away yfully, making him groan out in annoyance.


    In the middle of the night, their moans and groans of pleasure would air in the bedroom as he would passionately make love to his dear wife.


    And after that, they both would bid farewell to the day, sleeping in each other''s arms.


    Some days, she would feel a bit sad when he would not mouth ''I love you'' back to her even when he came clear about their future together.


    She just did not understand what was so hard in returning those three words back to her but then she would calm her heart saying that it was not necessary as his actions spoke louder to how much he loved her.


    She could not be greedy at all in wanting his love in both words and actions. But she was greedy for his love all the damn times...wanting more, never less.


    As days passed, Kian was not having any luck in thinking of any idea viable to the market.


    He was happier than before even when he was not being able to focus on his work as he should have been.


    His mind was upied with so many things that he had no more space left for thinking about a unique idea at the time.


    At home, he could not be able to focus at all with his beautiful wife around. All he wanted to do was spend the time being in each other hold on their bed...their personal heaven.


    And when at work, he could not stop thinking about her. Her face, her smile, the way she eyes his soul, so deep and with care, herughter, her embrace so warm andforting...he just could not get his mind straight and in order.


    The feelings he felt for her was beyond love. He did notice how her face would scrunch too little upsetting colour whenever he would not voice back the words she would do to him.


    As much as he wanted to, he could not bring himself in doing so. Mostly, because he was afraid she would leave him just like his mother and aunt after he let his heart out to herpletely.


    Even though he did it...he was not yet ready to confess it in words...the final words.


    He had no idea why he was so reluctant but he knew that it was something he would growfortable sayingter.


    He believed her love for him would make it for her. She would love him enough to make this anxiety of him go away in the future.


    Each day seemed like a blessing as it passed. They both were excitedly looking forward to the good news.


    Whenever Madison''s words ring inside Tinsley''s mind, she would try to ignore them.


    True to her words, they were running out of savings as the other day, Kian had to sell his million-dor watch for only a few hundred thousand in the town shop for their day-to-day expenses.


    In moments like these, her mind would make her rethink about everything. How many things would change if they had a baby?


    But his assurance makes her forget it and ignore it. "They would figure it out together." He would say.


    And she could not agree less. Whatever woulde their way now, they would tackle it down together and it calmed her heart thinking about the worst possibilities of the future.


    That he would be right by her side, standing beside her to fight alongside her. It made the future less fearful and scarier.


    A few days ago, he had bought a pregnancy test kit and it surprised her to her core.


    She looked at him, opening the kit in their bathroom. Her hands shaking in nervousness as her heart thumped furiously against her chest.


    "I will be with you in every step of the way, baby."


    His words soothed her restless nerves. She nodded her in positive and he helped her in opening her panty. She stepped out of it to pee on the stick.


    She licked her lips as she bent down to put the stick below to pee on it. He sat down before her and held the stick for her.


    She opened her mouth to protest in embarrassment but he shushes her up. And remained seated, holding the stick and after a good minute of waiting, she peed on it.


    Kian washed his hands and put the stick on the counter, waiting for the result. She wore her panty back in and stood by his side.


    When the rm in his phone rang, he clicked it off and picked up the stick to see if they were pregnant or not.


    The one line on the stick made him look down in disappointment and she felt her heart drop to the ground, watching him like that.


    Was he going to be mad at her now?? She thought.


    He threw the test in the dustbin and turned to look at her. She eyed him with panic but he only pulled her to him for a hug.


    "All tests are faulty." He said, rubbing her back. "You have not gotten your periods yet so it''s a good sign, baby."


    It was true, she waste for a few days now and that was led Kian in bringing the test kits to verify if she was pregnant or not.


    "We will take another test in the morning and regardless of it, we will see the doctor tomorrow...so do not worry."


    He concluded, kissing her forehead, making her feel sofortable in his hold and embrace.


    "I m very sure the next one will pop positive."


    He smiled at her and they both went to bed not before, he uncovered her abdomen toy a sweet kiss on her as he did every other night.


    "I can''t wait for you to grow big and adorable."


    He whispered, spooning her getting ready to retire for the night. Tinsley smiled and in a short while, they were both asleep.


    In the middle of the night, Tinsley squirmed and moved ufortably in her sleep as she felt a quick, deepening ache in her lower abdomen.


    She held her belly tight as she tried to bear the pain and go back to sleep but it was too much and she could not hold back the moans of pain.


    Kian was sleeping on the other side, facing the wall as she clutched her stomach and sat up, whimpering in the sudden pain.


    She had no idea what was wrong with her. And then just like that, she felt something wet in between her legs.


    She hurriedly kicked off the white duvet and saw blood flowing out of her, staining the bed sheet, making everything red.

    "All tests are faulty." He said, rubbing her back. "You have not gotten your periods yet so it''s a good sign, baby."


    It was true, she waste for a few days now and that had led Kian in bringing the test kits to verify if she was pregnant or not.


    "We will take another test in the morning and regardless of it, we will see the doctor tomorrow...so do not worry."

    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley reached down to touch her panty and saw blood in her hands. She eyed the hand in horror and could not help the soft grumblesing out of her mouth.


    Kian tilted his head to check up on his wife and seeing her sitting up on the bed, staring at her hand, he rose up immediately and switched on the nearbymb.


    He was horrified to see Tinsley seated on a bloodied bedsheet, her hand covered in blood as she eyed it.


    She was shaking and he knew what it meant. He quickly got closer to her and held her in his arm.


    She was too absorbed in her mind to notice any of it as he led her to the bathroom and made her sit on the toilet.


    He took a towel and wet it with the tap water beforeing towards her and washing off the blood from her legs and inner thighs.


    He parted her thighs and pulled down her white underwear now all red in colour.


    He raised her hands up to undress her from the green cotton maxi and led her inside the shower stall.


    He let the water pour over her as he cleaned her. Blood clots fell off from her core and he eyed them in disappointment and pain.


    After cleaning her and making her wear a fresh set of clothing, he went out of the bathroom to change the stained bedsheet.


    It was painful to look at the amount of blood she bled. It was a lot. He was afraid if something was wrong with her.


    He came back to her, still seated on the toilet seat, lost in her thoughts. He looked inside the cabs for pads but did not find them.


    She must not have gone shopping for it. He thought. And got back to her side making her wear fresh underwear.


    He held her up in bridal style and led them to the bed. She stopped him in the midway and he halted on his steps.


    "Is something wrong?? Is it painting you too much?? "


    He was quick to fire those questions out to her. She shook her head in negative making him rxed a little bit.


    "What if I strain the bed again??"


    She asked in confusion. Kian did not mind the blood at all and ced her on her side of the bed.


    "I do not mind it. I will clean it tomorrow morning. "


    He answered her to which she nodded positively absentmindedly. Heid a chaste kiss on her temple and pushed her back to sleep.


    "Everything will be alright."


    He mumbled in the darkness after getting in bed with her and pulling the duvet over them.


    "I will bring the sanitary pads in the morning."


    He said and Tinsley hummed in the darkness of the night after he switched off the lights.


    Sleep was thest of all the things that woulde to them in the night. Especially, Kian, he could not help the dreadness he felt in his heart.


    It felt empty and void. They would not have to take another test in the morning anymore, neither to go to the doctor.


    Everything was crystal clear now. Heid little soft kisses along her neck, spooning her back, trying to give her some peace as they both passed the night in helplessness and failure.


    The next morning, Tinsley was up early and cleaned herself. She went to wash her maxi, underwear and bedsheet.


    Kian was in deep sleep and woke up only when he heard his wife screaming and cursing in the bathroom.


    He hurriedly got up and barefoot walked inside the bathroom to find Tinsley in the shower, cleaning herself again for the nth time.


    The floor was covered with blood and thick blood clots. Her inner thighs had dried up blood on them.


    "Is it normal to bleed that much??"


    She looked up to see him, standing by the door, watching her in horror. She had no inkling when he got up and came here.


    "I always bleed more than usual. It''s fine."


    She said. He nodded. For a moment or two, both stood there awkwardly, ncing at each other.


    "I will go to the market to get you the pads."


    He spoke up and she shook her in positive. He got inside the bathroom to brush and wash his face.


    "Bring the tampons."


    She mouthed. He nodded and stormed out of the bathroom. A whileter, she heard their front door opening and closing indicating he had gone out.


    She then walked out to wash another bed sheet and set a fresh new bed over on the bed.


    As she walked to and fro cleaning the bedroom, she saw herself in the mirror and stopped before it.


    She watched her reflection inside of the vertical full body mirror in the corner of the bedroom.


    She looked tired and her face was contoured in pain from her menstrual cramps.


    She ced a hand on her t abdomen and felt empty. There was a void in her soul and she knew what it was.


    Periods were always decreasing but never this upsetting to her. This period had marked the end of something...someone they were both eagerly expecting.


    She closed her eyes and could not help but feel the bright side of it. Maybe...maybe it was a sign from the Almighty that it was not the right time??


    Could not it be a signal that they were doing it all wrong?? And a chance to correct it this time.

 Chapter 115 - "NEVER STOP TRYING SON!"

    Kian''s mind was all over the ce.


    He had never felt the way he was feeling sincest night.


    The scene of waking up and seeing her sitting on the bed, legs spread, blood pool all over her in the darkness of the night, kept repeating in his head all over again and again.


    He parked his car and then walked out to grab the things he came out to get. It was his first buying women sanitary products so he was a bit confused about getting what and whatnot.


    He strode inside the small-town store and went towards the women section. He saw all women except a few men.


    He followed one of the men and stood beside him. The man grabbed three packets of tampons. Kian did the same not bothering to check the brand.


    "Man! That''s not the brand she likes."


    The man said and left the package back. Kian heard him and stood there ideal not knowing what to do.


    "She must be the easy one huh??"


    "What??"


    Kian questioned, not understanding what man meant.


    "You are grabbing as if your woman will take any brand...so I m saying, she must be the easy one. Is she??"


    The guy exined, looking at Kian. He had no idea how to respond to that either.


    It was unusual for him to converse with civilians. His life had turned upside down for one brief decision he had taken in rush and lost the one thing he was so looking forward to having.


    "This...this is my first time!"


    He let out being honest. He had never in his life thought he would feel so awkward talking to a random stranger.


    "Ahhh! Exins! Never mind."


    The man said, patting his shoulder and handed him two packages. Kian held it, confused.


    "This every woman like. Does not matter in the brand you know? They all are the same product but well they develop a weird taste of having in the long run...so grab this and tell her to work with this, this time...next time, ask her brand!"


    The man very kindly borated everything to Kian and he very attentively listened to it all.


    "You look old to say you are in your first rtionship?"


    The man implored, checking Kian from head to toe. They both walked together towards the cashier.


    "She is my wife."


    Kian answered. And that blew the man''s mind more.


    All he could think that how could get a man not know how to buy tampons and have a wife??


    The cashier ran their bills and handed both of them their packages. Kian grabbed him and the man did his.


    "Luke!"


    The man extended his hand for a shake. Kian epted it right away. He was thankful for the help.


    "Kian Wilson...I mean Randall!"


    It was a habit. A slip of tongue and he regretted it instantly as the man''s look changed from normalcy to a big frown.


    "Wait!!! You are freaking Wilson??? Billionaire who gave up everything for his wife??"


    Luke...the man whispered, yelled thest part out. Kian looked around, checking if anyone else had heard it.


    "Look!! Luke...I got to go now. Thanks for your help!"


    Kian concluded and decided to leave before a scene is created. Luke was still staring at him as if he was someone different...a freaking celebrity.


    "Man!!! My girlfriend is all over you!! You are like the ideal man for her..."


    Luke grinned and Kian''s attention was anywhere but there at the moment. He needed to get out and go home.


    "Listen, Luke...thank you and I really need to go now!"


    Kian stressed the word, ''now''. Luke understood and let go of Kian''s hand.


    "You might want to buy some choctes and ice cream on the way???"


    Kian turned around to look at him when he was about to walk out of the store. He nodded at Luke and got out.


    Inside his Range Rover, he took a deep breath. He thought to stop by at the town cafe to buy Tinsley''s favourite vani cake.


    It was still very morning when he reached the cafe. Not many workers were still here but the olddy, the woman who ran the cafe was already here.


    "You are up early, son."


    The old woman smiled. Kian walked up to her towards the counter. He looked around to see only a few customers in.


    "Can you hand that couple in the second table this pudding??"


    Kian nodded and took the chocte pudding from Agatha, the olddy and strode towards the couple.


    He could not help but see the icing on the pudding, "Next year, you will get a father''s day card!".


    When he reached the table, the woman, the blonde smiled at him and thanked him for taking the pudding from his hand.


    " Honey, your pudding!"


    The woman called out for her husband. Kian stood beside them standing, watching the scene unfolding before him.


    The man, her husband, looked up from his phone and kept it aside.


    "I told you we did not have to do this on the morning of my birthday."


    He said and pulled the tray nearer and when he saw the icing on the pudding, his eyes raised up in shock.


    Both the couple''s eyes each other if conversing telepathically and then the man came out of his seat and picked the woman up, twirling her around.


    "You have given me the best gift on my birthday, honey!!"


    The man happily announced and theirughter echoed in the background. Kian watched them dreamily and headed back towards the counter.


    "They tried for four years.... every time, it turned negative, she woulde here to cry."


    Kian looked at Agatha, who started narrating the story, watching the happy couple, feeding each other the pudding.


    "Their marriage was on the verge of breaking but they never stopped trying and losing hope...look at them today..."


    Agatha said. The olddy wiped the tears of joy with a white tissue.


    "Never stop trying, son...whatever you are doing or want...never stop!"


    Agatha advised Kian, patting his shoulder. Kian hesitantly nodded.

 Chapter 116 - "I NEED A BREAK...I NEED IT!"

    Tinsley cursed inside her head, literally getting annoyed for bleeding so much.


    The amount of blood gushing out of her seemed abnormal. She had the worst periods but she never bled this much.


    It was rming at the rate she was bleeding. She stood before the vanity mirror to check her eyesight and skinplexion.


    She looked alright, pale...more than good being a sick person. She raised her t-shirt up to reveal her t tummy.


    She ran circled over herself with her fingers, ncing in her reflection. She remembered how Kian would do the same every time they would go to bed, thinking their baby was going inside of her.


    Afterst night, he did not have to do so.It saddened her mind but what she could do.


    She was trying very hard to look at the bright side of this. Madison''s words kept ringing in her head and then Kian''s confession was how he wanted to start a family with her...how he wanted everything to be deep with her.


    It would overcast Madison''s logical ims. The trains of thoughts as usual would not leave her...not even for one day.


    She felt a kicking pain in her lower abdomen and she held tight on herself, rushing towards the bathroom.


    She screamed out in pain as she felt blood seep out of her, flowing down through her thighs and then arge chunk of a blood clot fell out of her.


    She sat on the toilet, and cried out, holding her abdomen in pain as she bled in the toilet.


    She felt how her insides curled open to let those blood clots out. It was very disturbing to see them and flush them down the toilet.


    She had never seen a clot that big. She cleaned herself once again and then rushed out of the bathroom.


    She wondered where Kian was and why the hell he was taking so much time. She needed the tampons bad.


    She opened hisptop and typed about her condition in the Google search engine.


    In nanoseconds, the weblinks and information that popped put blew her mind out.


    She gasped inside when she discovered what did not even cross her mind ever. It was a miscarriage.


    She miscarried...their child. It was shocking and disturbing. Her hands were shaking when she clicked on the first web link to check on for further information.


    When her eyes read everything that was being disyed on the white screen, running over every page and we link...tears made way in her eyes and fell freely out.


    Her mouth let out a heavy sob as she clutched her abdomen with her hands as if hugging the child she just lostst night.


    It was there...inside of her all these times. And she had no idea...no freaking idea.


    She cried her heart out, hugging her t empty belly. Her sobs echoed in the entire house.


    "Oh, God!!"


    She yelled out as pain in both her heart and abdomen intensified. She did not even get to say goodbye to her baby.


    It was inside...he or she was inside her. Why did not she feel it?? Why did not she get one sign??


    She walked up to the mirror and nced at her belly. Her face was swollen and red from crying for straight five minutes.


    Now running her hand over her belly, she could feel a little bloating on the lower abdomen and it broke her more.


    She felt a sudden intense pressure from the inside of her and she ran towards the bathroom.


    In the halfway, the blood came out of her and she gave up, falling straight on the pool of blood...her blood...her baby''s blood.


    Her sobs amplified as she slipped down on the floor, crying her heart out. Oh!! Her poor heart!!


    The pain of child loss, she had no idea, she would have to go through that one day.


    After hours of crying and trying to find answers, she rose up and like a robot cleaned the mess she created.


    Swiping the blood, broke something deep inside her as she got inside the shower strollter to clean the blood off of her body and face.


    The water fell atop her skin like rain, calming her nerves. She closed her eyes trying to find peace someway...somehow.


    She knew that this pain...this ache...this emptiness would not fade away so soon. But she had to try and live the next chapter of her life.


    It was then with closed eyes, memories of her dead mother shed inside her mind.


    She was very young then, did not understand what was happening at all but now she did... at this moment she did.


    She understood why her mother cried out loud, sitting on the toilet seat as she woulde sneaking and watch her mother cry bloody marry in the middle of the night.


    ________________________________________________


    "I need a break...I need it, Max."


    He would not give a crap about it and take a seat on the leather sofa, lighting his cigarette.


    "You need a break?? You do??"


    And then he would question all of a sudden. Her mother would nod in positive. She kept her lips shut, listening to her parent''s quarrel, holding her teddy close to her chest.


    "You are given one job, Marshelly...one job to bear my goddamn son but you miscarry it every time."


    He yelled out loud at her. She flinched back but kept herself shut. Her mother seemed lost.


    "Don''t you understand?? "


    "Don''t I understand what??"


    Her father shouted, standing up and towering over her mother''s small figure. At that moment, she wanted to run to her mother and hug her.


    "I can''t keep going through this...it breaks me every time, Max."


    Marshelly cried. "It''s breaking me...I need a fucking break...I need to mend myself first before..."


    "...before you can go running back to your baby daddy??"


    ________________________________________________


    "Tinsley??? I m home!!"


    Tinsley''s eyes opened up instantly. She had been out daydreaming her childhood, not hearing Kian''s arrival.

 Chapter 117 - "FUCKING GIVE ME A BREAK!!!"

    Her mother''s broken voice and cries kept ringing in her head as she cleaned herself and got out of the bathroom.


    Kian had dropped the sanitary products on the bed so she put them on and rushed out of their bedroom to see her husband.


    He was in the kitchen, preparing something, she had no care for. Kian noticed her presence and smiled at her.


    "Breakfast is ready!"


    He dered and set tes for two on the counter. She gave him a small smile before settling in on the high stool.


    "I have something for you."


    Kian said, getting close to her and giving her the takeout. She took it off from his hand and opened it.


    It was her favourite vani cake and baked chocte tart. It was still hot, baked fresh in the morning.


    She smiled at him. She took a deep breath and started eating. It was only then she realized how much hungry she was.


    Kian watched his wife eat silently. He had no idea how to start...or start a conversation with her.


    Afterst night, they had not talked and it was kind of awkward between them all of a sudden. She had been acting very silent, only shaking her head or giving a small smile as a response to him.


    He sat right beside her and started eating his food too. He was very enthusiastic to share what he had encountered in the cafe.


    But did not know where to start. It was a brief realization from the sudden emptiness that loomed over him sincest night after Agatha narrated the story of the expecting couple in the morning.


    It was a boost to his tired, lost soul. They tried for four years and did not give up on hope.


    It was only their first attempt. He thought. It was a creation of life matter. Nothing could just go right in the first go.


    The amount of blood he saw gushing out of herst night, it made him think that they could never have a child because he did not want to see her the way he saw herst night.


    It was as if for the first time, he felt losing. Even after surrendering everything he had built for thest fifteen years, it did not feel that bad the way he feltst night.


    He had lost hope but after watching those couple, hope had been reinstalled in his blood and veins.


    Tinsley finished her te and the cake and was about to stand up to take her te to the sink to wash it clean when Kian held her back.


    She looked up at him. His eyes boring deep into hers but she parted her gaze from his, feeling eerie.


    "How are you feeling?"


    He asked, after a moment of white silence. It was a simple question, yet the most tricky one for Tinsley to answer at the moment.


    She was feeling nothing but then was feeling a lot of things too at the same time.


    Would he understand if she told him that she felt empty??


    Would he understand if she told him how dead she felt every time the blood drained out of her body??


    Maybe...maybe it was how her mother was feeling too. She had multiple miscarriages to the point of giving up.


    A being an asshole, her father never understood the grief that Marshelly Rutherford went through every day, bleeding her supposed babies down the toilet.


    "I feel not fine...but I will be ok!"


    Tinsley said thest part was for her...she was trying to console herself. She was trying hard to not lose like her mother.


    Kian did not get what exactly she was saying. But he could sense that something was wrong even then he did not want to pry things out of her.


    He wanted her to willingly confide in him. And that would take some time, he knew because she also lost something they both thought was there when there was none.


    Tinsley broke out of his hold and walked towards the sink, collecting both their tes and opening the faucet to clean it.


    "Something happened in the cafe when I was bringing you the cake."


    "Uhmm."


    Tinsley hummed, her back facing Kian as he started with the story that unfolded in the morning.


    Every time there was silence, she heard the cries and whimpers of her mother and it sickened her mind.


    She could hear her loud curses and the sound of breaking things inside the room as she stood outside, holding her teddy and crying along with her mother.


    Her mind drifted off to the time when she had the baby inside her. What if her baby heard every time Kian talked to him or her, caressing her belly??


    Did they hear?? Or was everything bull shit??


    "...It took me by the surprise of what Agatha told me, you know..."


    Tinsley gave me a nk stare, not getting what he was talking about. She had zoned out of their conversation long ago.


    ________________________________________________


    "I need a break...I need it, Max."


    "You need a break?? You do??"


    "You are given one job, Marshelly...one job to bear my goddamn son but you miscarry it every time."


    "Don''t you understand??"


    "I can''t keep going through this...it breaks me every time, Max."


    Marshelly cried. "It''s breaking me...I need a fucking break...I need to mend myself first before..."


    "...before you can go running back to your baby daddy??"


    ________________________________________________


    "Tinsley??? Are you alright??"


    Kian approached her as he saw that his wife was physically here with him but not mentally at all.


    He neared her, leaning on the kitchen sink as she kept looking out straight in the space.


    "Tinsley?? Baby?? What is wrong??"


    Kian confronted, standing right in front of her. She was too lost to notice his presence.


    All she saw was her mother and father quarrelling and then...she saw herself too, crying silently in the corner, cursing a teddy to her heart.


    "Oh, fucking stop it Max!!! Fucking give me a break!!!"


    She screamed out, astonishing both herself and Kian.

 Chapter 118 - "I MESSED UP BIG TIMES!!!"

    "Oh, fucking stop it Max!!! Fucking give me a break!!!"


    She screamed out, astonishing both herself and Kian. She was breathing high by the time realization drown to her.


    That the things she just saw were not real...they were not real and it was disturbing to be face to face with the reality.


    That those were just fragments of her memory showcasing live in before her eyes.


    "Are you ok??"


    Kian asked, breaking the awkward silence of staring at his wife behaving so weirdly.


    He could tell that she was hallucinating. It had to be something offending from her past memory that she reacted like that.


    Tinsley nodded her head in positive, reluctantly and then walked out of the kitchen.


    She wanted to rest...lie down for a bit and try to escape this forsaken reality for a while.


    It was a headache to get the voices of her mother''s cries ringing in her head all these times.


    Kian let her go, knowing she needed some time alone. He did not want to seem pressing upon her and wanted to give her all the time to get her mind clear and straight.


    Last night what happened was clearly too much for both of them to handle. They both were looking forward to the news that just never came ever.


    Tinsleyzily got on the bed and hid her body inside the duvet as if trying to hide herself from the shadows of the world.


    After discovering the horrifying news, every time she felt the blood bleeding out of her body, it broke her heart knowing she could not even do one thing to stop it...save it.


    It was as if she had lost in a battle and did not even know that there was one for fighting.


    It was toote till she had found out and now she could not do a thing buty down on the bed, repenting, regretting whatever she did wrong, she had no idea of what.


    Kian cleaned the table and thought of checking up on his wife but could not do so as his phone rang and had to walk out to attend it.


    It was Madison''s.


    "Hello, Madi!"


    He answered the call right away and all he got was a deep grunting from the other side.


    "Where the fuck is Tinsley??? Why she isn''t picking up my calls??"


    Madison questioned, impatiently and he could sense from her voice, the sound of distress that something was up.


    "Tinsley is resting...I have no idea why she is not answering your calls??"


    Kian replied. He knew why Tinsley might not be answering. Last night had been traumatising for both of them.


    "Well, I need her Kian...pass the call to her right away or I m dying right now!!!"


    Madison exaggerated and Kian rolled his eyes knowing how much of a drama queen she was.


    He could then only wonder how she was so professional with him in the past. He had known her being a drama queen for a long time but they always remained in the working arena so he never had to deal with her drama ass before than now ever.


    "Fine!!! Hold on!!"


    He muttered and then got inside the apartment, walked through the living room to their bedroom and saw Tinsley, sleeping with eyes open.


    It was at that moment, he had a second thought in his mind if he should go with it...give the call or not??


    She seemed so distressed and was not even sharing with him what had happened. It was eating his nerves to see her lively self like that.


    "I m DYING!!! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!"


    Madison''s scream rang out of the cell phone and he cursed almost forgetting that she was still online.


    "Tinsley? Madison wants to talk to you."


    He walked up to her side of the bed and handed her his phone. She looked up at him with her big clueless eyes and epted the phone.


    "I...I will b outside."


    He said, scratching the back of his neck and strode out of the bedroom giving her the space and privacy to talk.


    "Is anyone online??? Kian hand her the damn phone before I explode and die!!!"


    Madison''s voice broke Tinsley out of her dazed state and she responded to the call right away.


    "I m here, Madi...what is up??"


    She implored, finding her voice out for the first time since the incident in the living room.


    "Why have not you answered my million missed calls??? Do you know that I did something that I never thought I would ever???"


    Tinsley did not understand one thing and told Madi that her phone was in silent mode. She had forgotten to set it back to normal.


    "Tinsley?? "


    "Yes, Madison."


    By the sound of her voice, Tinsley could tell that something was up. Madison never sounded so in stress and anxious.


    "I messed up real-time...like really bad!!"


    "What happened, Madi?? What did you do??"


    Tinsley asked now getting herself stressed out. What if something happened... as something bad happened to her or Anna Maria or either of them??


    She wanted to know what happened right away but Madison was acting crazy. She would reply right away.


    "I should never have epted his proposal in the first ce."


    "What are you even bbering about??"


    Tinsley intervened, not getting one damn thing the crazy woman was speaking out from the other side of the phone.


    "I...I knew it was wrong of me but I could not stop myself...I just could not. I sort of you know always had a thing for him...I know that I m gay and all that... it''s not at all confusing to me but it''s just I know I m bi too...now that will take you by shock but..."


    "Stop right there!!! "


    Tinsley spoke up and there was silence. She knew Madison was panicking and there was something wrong...something wrong urred in her date.


    "What happened on the date??"


    There was a brief silence before she answered.


    "I met someone....I never thought I would ever in my life!"

 Chapter 119 - "ITS NOT A GIRL!!!"

    Madison chewed on her gum as she waited patiently for the beautician to manicure her nails.


    It had been a long time since she went to the parlour to pamper herself. With thepany crisis, everything had been a mess ever since.


    She had enough savings to go for a world tour, buy a few stocks from the major shareholder in the stock market and whatnot.


    Kian always paid her so generously. The regr ie added with the bonus, by the end of the year, she would end up with half a million.


    Yes, she had got lucky to be recruited by the Wilson Co and she did not regret one-bit resigning from the post either because it was only because of Kian, she had gotten all that bonuses.


    Sooner enough he would build his own empire back. She trusted his business tactic, how his mind worked, she had seen him work for fifteen long years so she knew what he was capable of.


    And this time, she wanted to contribute too in his empire-building so going to this date and impressing John Kravinshky was important.


    He was the week''s top ten billionaires and could be a major investor in their newpany if everything went correctly.


    She whistled, running her eyes over the dresses in the showroom, trying to choose a dress for her that was ssy and eye-catching at the same time.


    Having as many investors as right now was necessary for an immediate market approach so that the moment Kian figured out what he wanted to sell, there would be enough money to make it and sell it.


    After getting rejected by ten major investors, she did not want to lose this one. And by the looks of John and the way he said, he had eyes for her, she wanted to make use of that in her advantage.


    So she was putting some effort into getting ready for the evening. She halted in her steps when she saw the satin red dress, with straps, knee-length.


    "It''s the autumn collection of Chanel."


    The worker, near her,mented. Madi smiled and asked her to get this in her cart.


    The dress cost a whopping five thousand dors and she bought it only because she looked too good in it. She could not leave it behind.


    After a long day of shopping, she got home and checked her phone once again if Tinsley had replied to her texts or not.


    She huffed in annoyance when she saw there was no reply, nothing, and from her side.


    They had kind of became friends ever since she started driving Tinsley back to her home in the evening after her cooking lesson with Anna Maria.


    They would talk about stuff that Madi never conversed with anyone. She could have made lots of friends in the Wilson Co but everyone there was jealous of how she got to work with the hot boss and how close they were.


    The busy schedule too made it not so possible for her to mingle with the other employees and it sucked whenever Kian went on lunch dates and she had no one to lunch with.


    Even though it was not a major issue as most of the time, she drove him to the luncheon spot and had lunch together with his business associates.


    With Tinsley, she could finally feel why people say everyone needed a friend in their life.


    She was feeling a bit off for a few days as her conversations with Tinsley had been limited. Tinsley took a break from the cooking lessons.


    So they did not see each other. She could listen to her texts of how much happy she was with Kian and that made Madi happy to know that they were working their differences out.


    It would make her reminded of Lana Del and turn her mood sour. Wish...she wished if they could have worked their differences too.


    Maybe then she would have been pregnant with their child by now. Oh!! How life would then be??


    She thought, sighing. Ever since how things ended with Lana, she had not been so lucky in her love life.


    Not like she did not get suiters, there were many but most of them were males and they did not know she was into females.


    Like tonight, John had no idea she was into women and still was getting ready for the date.


    She kind of felt bad for deceiving him for her benefit but she was helpless here.


    She needed at least one investor by the end of this month on their side so that whenever Kian would need one, they would not have to dy any time for looking it in that time.


    She did a background check on John and he seemed like a decent guy. His reputation was not that of a saint but well better than most of New York''s yboy billionaire.


    She applied thest stroke of red lipstick on her lips and rubbed her lips together, staring into her reflection in the mirror.


    And she was ready to go. Her hair was tied in a simple bun, no earring, no ne, just the dress which made her look so elegant.


    She kept her makeup minimal, not trying to give a hint to John that she had put an effort into getting ready for the evening.


    "You are off to somewhere??"


    Madison turned back to see her nana, standing by the threshold of the door, ncing at her granddaughter in adoration.


    "Yes, on a date!"


    Madison replied, smiling and Anna Maria walked inside with a joyous face to have a good look at her granddaughter.


    "So who is this beautiful girl to steal my Madi''s heart?"


    Anna Maria implored, waiting for answers from Madi''s side.


    Madi''s smile fell off from her face as she thought of how to dere the news that she was going out with a man, not a woman.


    "It''s... it''s not a girl, nana...a man, actually."


    She concluded, shaking her head, in the beginning, making Anna Maria narrow her eyes.

 Chapter 120 - "I M GLAD THAT YOU DID IT."

    Madison reached her destination after a short five minutes drive.


    She parked her Audi and then got out. John had texted her the address, the day before and she was a bit taken aback by how he had reached out to her instead of his secretary as to how it should have been.


    She was quite aware of how the socialising of these rich billionaires worked.


    She had maintained Kian''s dating life all by herself for straight fifteen years and she knew how it was in thest minute, she would inform him who he was meeting and where.


    In the middle of her heart, she felt bad for leading John on. He was a good man and by all the signals, she had been receiving from him, she could tell that he was quite smitten by her.


    It would be hard to break his expectations tonight revealing to him that she was actually into females.


    The moment, she entered inside the seven-star restaurant, the waiter recognised her and led her towards the secluded table in a different hall reserved for her and John.


    She did not expect any less from him. After all, he was a billionaire. She thanked the waiter when she saw where John was seated, his back facing her.


    She walked towards him and stopped when she arrived near him. She could see he was busy answering his emails.


    She mischievously tapped on his shoulder and he stood up, turning back to face her.


    His cologne hit her nose and it shook her female hormones a bit. Her mouth almost fell open when she saw him up close, looking as handsome and dashing always.


    "Miss Maria! "


    "Mr Kravinshky."


    Madison acknowledged him back. Her eyes could hardly stop her from eyeing his mascr body.


    It had been so long since she had sex and now standing in front of a sexy hunk, it was not helping her condition at all.


    And the way he was staring back at her, it made her feel hot and dizzy. She bit her lips, looking away, trying to stabilize her stature.


    "You look...beautiful!"


    He remarked, admiring her form from top to bottom and he felt lucky to be able tond at least one night with this beauty with brains.


    He always had eyed for Madison and thought maybe...maybe she was with Wilson but knowing that he was married to someone now, it was confirmed all they, Madison and Kian had was strictly professional.


    "Thank you! You do not look bad either."


    Madison blushed. Oh!! What in the earth!!


    She screamed to herself internally. She was blushing at a simplepliment from this man.


    Even though she was bi, her sexuality inclined more towards females than males. And it was not a usual urrence for her to react in such a way to a man.


    "I m wearing the same clothes from work...d you find that appealing."


    John joked and that made Madison smile. She could not help but think how the man was so easygoing at the same time.


    Men like him, especially, mostly all billionaires, were never like this. They would all be stuck up rich boys who had it all and did not bother to try unless they saw an angelic beauty in front of them...just like what happened with Kian, the moment he saw Tinsley.


    Kian had never eyed or given any interest to any women, from famous movie stars like Emma Stone, Oscar Winner to Victoria Secret model, Gigi Hadid until one day, Tinsley Rutherford crossed the path with him.


    And it was not easy for girls like her to always be born as beautiful as Tinsley with perfect shades of red hair and ocean blue eyes, so holding the eyes of billionaires were not easy.


    And here was, John, admiring her beauty and even trying to make jokes to lighten the environment.


    She could not ask more for the evening and it would not take a leap for her to know that John Kravinshky had be her new male crush.


    The thought of knowing made her insides giddy and fluttering. John pulled her chair and asked her to the seat. She thanked him and obliged.


    "I hope this date is not keeping you away from your important deals at the moment. "


    Madison remarked, knowingly very well while ago, he was checking his mails out. John shook his head in negative.


    "A man needs to take some time off work to focus on his possible future with the woman he likes on a date."


    It made Madi''s breathe stuck in her lungs for a short timing, listening to his words.


    She was speechless, not knowing how to respond to that at all. John chuckled, pouring the bottle of champagne which he had ordered beforehand.


    "I hope you like Sparkle wine."


    He said, passing her a flute of champagne and Madi thanked him, epting it.


    The small brushing of their hands did not go unnoticed by her. She felt that electric shock hitting her core and she had to squeeze her thighs shut underneath the table.


    "I do...sparks of tasting all the fancy drinks working for Kian!"


    Madison replied, taking a sip of the liquid from her flute. She felt so conscious of how he was staring at her all the time.


    Damn!!! She had no idea that instead of talking about work, she would be here, blushing and stealing shy nces of the man in the business.


    "About that...I know that I asked you out in exchange for my approval in being Randall''s new venture''s exclusive investor, and my answer to that is indefinite yes..."


    Madison''s mouth fell hung open, hearing it. She could not believe that it was happening even before the evening had started. She had done it.


    "...but I could not lose my only chance to secure a date with the woman I like and so I did it...I would have not denied being your investor even if you have note out tonight..."


    He concluded, a bit nervous for speaking the truth out.


    "I mean, who would ever deny a business proposal with Kian!"


    Heughed at thest part, lightly and Madison rested her hand on the table atop his, shocking both of them. She gave him a little squeeze.


    "I m d that you did it!"

 Chapter 121 - "OR SHE LIED ABOUT THAT TOO??"

    "I mean, who would ever deny a business proposal with Kian!"


    Heughed at thest part, lightly and Madison rested her hand on the table atop his, shocking both of them. She gave him a little squeeze.


    "I m d that you did it!"


    Their eyes interlocked and Madison gave her most enchanting smile to John. He almost got lost in it but then the small beep in his phone distracted their moment.


    "I m sorry... it''s just my sister."


    John said, checking out the text on his phone.


    "It''s fine!"


    Madison mumbled, looking away from him. She had a second thought in her mind at that moment if she really wanted to leave or not?


    The n was to leave the moment, it was confirmed that John had epted the proposal but now, she did not want to.


    She wanted to wait, spend the night with him and know a little more about the man seated before her...it was wrong but she did not know why she did not want to leave anymore.


    She felt like an unknown pull towards this man like she felt never before...not before she met Lana.


    She was attracted to John. It was a fact, a new reality for her. Even though it was nothing new because she had felt like that with many men but with John...it ran beyond the pull of attraction.


    For the first eight years after a devastating break-up with Lana, she felt the need, the inner willingness to know someone...this man.


    So instead of leaving as it was nned to after letting him know that she was into females but then she decided against it.


    It was not like she was receiving him here...she was into men too just more inclined towards females but if the choice was given to hook up with John and Cara Delvigne, she would go for John.


    So she settled on her seatfortably as it was going to be a long evening. John kept his phone aside on the table and looked at Madison.


    "Listen...I know this might sound awkward but my sister is here..."


    Madison raised her eyebrows, not getting what he wanted to say.


    "...she came with me here and was about to leave but the driver just reported some anomaly with the engine so she needs to wait for a while...she was in the washroom...will you mind if she joined us here for a moment or two??"


    John asked hesitantly. He did not want any interruption at this moment but well problems never left his tail so...


    He did not want to offend Madison. He really liked her and wanted this date to work out but then...he could not just let his little sister waiting outside.


    "It''s a...fine...call her in. It''s only for a few minutes right?"


    Madison implored, not liking the idea of having his family member here at this moment when all she wanted was just them and no one else.


    "Yeah...yes...I m really sorry."


    John apologized, observing the hint of ufortness in Madison''s facial features.


    He should have just let his sister ride in with another car and not with him. He dropped a text to her for her toe inside.


    "It''s fine, John."


    Madiforted him, smiling. He knew that this date had lost its charm for a moment now but he vowed to return the me back when his sister would leave right away.


    "She also wanted to meet you...I guess her wish came true."


    He joked and in there came a woman. The door to their personal booth opened and got closed in a thud sound.


    Madi tilted her head a little to see the sister. The tik to noise of the heel rang in the hall as the woman walked forward, to their table.


    As she followed her gaze from the bottom to the top of the woman''s figure, Madi''s breathe got stuck inside her throat.


    "Madison Maria, meet my sister, Lana Delta Kravinshky."


    John introduced his sister to Madison, who kept seated on her seat, without moving as his sister stood by his side.


    Lana chuckled at her brother''s formal introduction to his date and reverted her gaze from him to look at the woman, still seated.


    And her heart dropped to the bottom of her stomach, looking at the woman she had loved eight years ago.


    Madison could not believe her eyes. She could not even process it in her mind as she got frozen in her spot.


    "Is something wrong??"


    John inquired when he saw the two women just standing ideal, static on their position, not saying a word.


    Lana did not understand what her brother was doing with Madison. She was a lesbian then why was she...


    And then it clicked in her mind...everything made sense to her all of a sudden.


    People change but Madison Maria could not even after almost a decadeter. She was still duped in her work, her carrier even to the extent of deceiving a man on a date.


    "Do you both know each other??"


    John questioned, once again after a long silence. He started to feel as if something was wrong and he had no idea what was about toe.


    "Oh! Yes, we do brother!"


    Lana was the first to open her mouth and Madison stood up immediately, knowing exactly what Lana was going to say next.


    "Remember the woman I told you about responsible for breaking my heart??"


    John eyed his sister without any hint of what she was speaking. Madison pleaded with her eyes to Lana.


    It was not how she wanted to let John know about her truth. But it was a losing battle as Lana hated her.


    "She is the one...Madison Maria."


    "What nonsense are you uttering, Delta?"


    John intervened, not understanding anything anymore. Lana had a cruel expression on her face and Madison''s state was in blue.


    "This is not some nonsense, brother...I do not even know what she is doing here with you when she is into women...or she lied about that too??"

 Chapter 122 - "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO RETURN? "

    "Jesus!"


    John muttered under his breath at the shocking revtion.


    "No... it''s...not like that..."


    Madison stuttered before everyone assumed wrong about her. Lana narrowed her eyes.


    "Then what is it, Madi?"


    "Are you not gay and was deceiving my brother??"


    Lana fired questions altogether in Madi''s way. And she had no idea how to respond to them all together without making both the brother and sister think her to be a liar.


    "I m...I...uhh..."


    "See, she is gay but on a date with a man...my brother.."


    Lana cruellyughed, not able to perceive the real face of Madison, a woman she had loved with all her heart and maybe still did...


    Madison noticed the sad look of John as he did not know how to react to the newly released information.


    "...but I m also bi."


    Madison concluded. Lana shook her head, rolling her eyes, getting angry at how swiftly Madison could lie and turn the situation to her side.


    "And I was about to tell you that, John...believe me, please."


    Madison whispered thest word, expecting John to give her onest chance to exin herself ande clean.


    She did not want him to think of her as a lier. She might have before did not care about what he thought of her but now she did...it mattered to her what he thought about her.


    And it was that look that made Lana more annoyed. She could not believe that Madison could go to any length to get her brother on her side instead of trying to make up with her.


    "You deceived me...but I will not let you do that to my brother."


    Lana walked upfront and face to face dered it on Madison''s face. John remained static in his position, watching the scene unfold before him.


    "I loved you, Lana...I still do. I never deceived you."


    Madison stepped in. It hurt her that all these times, Lana thought her to be like that.


    "Then what are you doing here with my brother?"


    Lana questioned, scanning Madi''s face closely, trying to see if she was lying or not.


    "I came here only to confirm John as our investor."


    The truth slipped out of Madison''s lips even before she could stop herself. She just got so lost in Lana''s grey eyes after eight long years.


    John stepped backwards and his hand knocked the ss bottle of red wine down, making it fall down on the tiled floor, breaking it into numerous pieces tainting the white floor red.


    It broke Madison''s daze state and look at John, realizing the damage that she just did.


    He did not wait for one moment and turned to the other side, walking away. Madison was about to follow him but Lana held her back, holding on to her wrist.


    "You did not change one bit."


    She mumbled, looking into Madison''s watery eyes. She broke out of Lana''s hold and ran after John.


    It broke Lana more watching her lover...ex-lover running after her brother, eight years after their reunion.


    "John!!! John!!! Please wait...John."


    Madison screamed, running after him, holding the ends of her gown. She could not let him go thinking so wrong about her.


    John did not stop and continued making his way out of the restaurant. All the restaurant staff on standby watched the scenario.


    Madison finally grabbed hold of John, stopping him. She held onto his bicep, huffing for air.


    "You have to listen to me."


    She said, ncing at him when he turned around to face her.


    "What''s there to listen to?? Did not I hear a lot for the night??"


    He questioned, harshly, pping Madison''s hand away from him roughly.


    "I was meaning to tell you...about the truth but you have to believe me, I had no idea Lana is your sister."


    Madison stated. She wanted him to understand it so badly. She did not want him to have a wrong impression of her.


    It was then Lana too came and both of them looked at her way. Madison did not know whom to exin first and what to say at that exact moment.


    "So all these times, you were using me?"


    John interviewed, expecting an honest reply. He did not care if Madi was gay...he still liked her regardless.


    "No...no.."


    Madison answered right away. Lana stood by listening to the conversation unfolding.


    "I did not...I like you that''s why I m here, John."


    She let out, staring into his grey eyes. His were a darker shade than his sister''s.


    "So you lied to me all these times??"


    Lana could not help the question. It broke Madi and John''s moment, making them both turn to look at her.


    "I did not..."


    Madison said, "I have always loved you, Lana...and still do..."


    "Alright, I m out of here."


    John dered, even before Madison couldplete her confession. It made her look back at John again, who walked out and so did Lana, followed after her brother.


    "Wait...please!"


    Madison held Lana''s hand before she could get inside the ck Mercedes. John was already inside.


    "Can we...can we meet please?"


    After what a mess of confusion she had created between the brother and sister, Lana did not know why she was still standing and listening to a lier?


    "Delta, we are leaving."


    Her brother''s voice made her pull out of Madison''s hold.


    "Just please!!"


    Madison pleaded, not wanting to let go of her just yet. She looked expectedly into Lana''s orbs.


    "Why did you have to return, Madison?"


    It was thest thing, Lana spoke before getting inside the Mercedes and driving away.


    Madison stood in her spot for a while, trying to recall what just happened. As the rain poured down, she let out a deep agonizing scream.


    She realized how she had ruined any chances she ever had with Lana or John. She liked John too...more than she should like a man she had just met but she loved Lana ...


    Ahhh!!! What an utter mess!!

 Chapter 123 - "I M WAITING..."

    With slumping shoulders, Madison opened the door of her room and got inside the dark.


    She very slowly closed the door, not wanting Anna Maria to wake up in thiste and did not want to talk things out either.


    After numerous times of calling Tinsley, finally, she got to talk to her through Kian''s cell phone.


    "Oh my God! Madi. Are you alright?"


    Tinsley asked through the other side, after Madison narrated her the entire story, sitting on the balcony, watching out the stary night sky, all alone.


    "I m trying to be."


    She muttered softly. A strand of tear fell off from her red swollen eyes that had been crying ever since the tragic evening.


    "You know everything will be fine...the moment you get to meet Lana again,e clean about your feelings."


    Tinsley suggested. She could tell that Madi was still not over Lana and their past love. It was very much present in her heart.


    Who could understand more clearly if not her?


    She had kept her childhood love in her heart all these long even when she thought that she could never be able to be with Kian.


    But look what destiny had nned for her.


    "If only she epts to see me again?"


    Madison said, hopelessly. After what happened tonight, the chances of Lana even wanting to meet her or see her was negative to zero.


    "She will. From what I have heard, she still loves you too."


    Tinsley tried to console Madison. She could hear the soft sobs and it was disturbing to hear Madi cry.


    She clutched the duvet closer to her chest when she heard the light sobs turn into deep, stronger one''s.


    For her, Madison was the strong kind of woman who would not cry over small petty things like her.


    And listening to her cries, it only confirmed how much hurt and pain she was in for to cry like that.


    "What sick was I could not decide what to do at that moment??...run after John or Lana?"


    Madison questioned herself. It was a real question and to which she had not found an answer to yet.


    "When I ran after John, it hurt Lana and when I tried to confess that I was never over her, it hurt John...as if I cheated on two persons together..."


    Madison exined, with sobs in between. She could see their faces in her head.


    How hurt John seemed from the bitter revtions. And how much it pained her to watch Lana question their love.


    "And atst, I ended up hurting both of them."


    Madi concluded, rubbing away her tears and trying to inhale and exhale to calm herself down.


    "Believe in destiny, Madi...look what happened to me and Kian."


    Tinsley spoke, holding the phone closer in the dark bedroom.


    "You will end up with whom you are faithed. It''s how it works and your heart knows it so have faith."


    Madison was not exactly sure how to perceive that. She was not into Gods or religion. She was not against it either.


    Her heart knew it???


    It was easy before because it had only Lana in there but now it was hard...two persons were living inside of it.


    Then with whom was she going to end up??


    A big nk question with no passage to answer at the moment. Only time would tell. And all she could do was wait...


    "Everything will be fine."


    Madison nodded in approval. She knew what she had to do next at least. She vowed to not give up without fighting for Lana.


    In these eight years, she had never thought for once, they would cross paths again but here they were tonight.


    Maybe...maybe this was the destiny, Tinsley was talking about?


    "I m so sorry I messed up the only investor we had. "


    She apologised, knowing how obvious it was that the deal was off between her and John.


    "Do not apologize...Kian has note up with any ideas yet so."


    Tinsley let out, trying to make her feel better even though she was not there to hug her at the moment.


    "I will look into more...I promise."


    Madison said, getting up from the balcony and heading inside.


    "Tell me about you...is everything alright for you both?"


    She inquired. It had been a few days since they had talked so she wondered if everything was fine.


    That question made Tinsley wonder if everything was alright or not??


    "Everything will be alright."


    She uttered out,forting more to herself than Madison. Everything had to be fine. She said to herself.


    With that Madi hung up and Kian was quick to get inside as if he had been waiting by the other side, listening to their conversation to get his cell phone.


    Tinsley kept the phone on the nightstand which Kian picked up. There was an awkward silence right after.


    "Dinners ready."


    He said. Tinsley nodded, looking at him. The lights from the street half illuminated the room so it was difficult to see who was wearing what face.


    "I will be there in a sec...second."


    She softly spoke out. Kian shook his head in positive but still kept standing near the bed, making Tinsley conscious.


    "Is it...is it hurting?"


    He asked, scratching the back of his neck, not wanting to make her feel ufortable with his question at all.


    She had barely spoken to him sincest night. Even when in the morning, he tried to converse with her, she was lost in something.


    And the entire day did note out of the bedroom. She would alwaysin about how hard it was for her to be in one ce ever since she started to work.


    It was true, he never saw her confided in the bedroom like today. But then what happened had shaken his core too...no wonder it did to her too and she was going to take time to recover.


    And he was going to wait for it no matter what.


    Tinsley shook her head in negative. Kian walked up to the door and turned to say a fewst words.


    "I m waiting..."


    And closed the door behind him.

 Chapter 124 - "WHAT THE FUCK???"

    Madison waited impatiently outside the desk of Kravinshky International as the receptionist made calls checking in if she had an appointment to meet the boss.


    It was a lie. She lied about having an appointment and as more time the receptionist took to confirm, Madison got more anxious.


    And when the receptionist hung up the call and turned to talk with Madi. She huffed knowing that she would be asked to go home.


    But then at the same time, the private elevator opened, and the people in the lobby turned to look at their boss stepping out with his personal assistant and a bunch of suit-d men and women.


    Madison too tilted her head sideways to see who it was and when she saw it was no one else but John himself, she quickly collected her bag from the desk and before, the receptionist could say anything anymore, she rushed towards his direction.


    "You wait...hey, you??"


    She did not bother looking back and straightaway ran after John. He had no idea of her existence as he walked down towards the exit, talking with his team.


    All the people in the lobby watched her run like a lunatic. She thrashed her way through his teammates and held his hand.


    Everything came to a pause as John stopped on his track and so did others. Murmurs erupted in the hallway.


    John turned to look who it was and saw Madison, standing right behind him, holding his hand, struggling to breathe.


    "John..."


    She spelt out his name, staring into his eyes who were staring back at hers.


    "Madison?"


    The fact that he knew her name made the gossip intensify. People started giving them looks and both understood it.


    "Madison Maria, I do not recall you having an appointment with Mr Kravinshky?"


    Eric, his assistant said, recognising her. In fact, he was the one she first contacted to set the first appointment with John even though Eric thought the boss would reject but he did not.


    "I uh...I think.."


    Madison stuttered, not knowing what to say and it was at that moment, John decided to step in.


    "I called her, Eric and forgot to mention you to fit her in my schedule."


    Both Eric and Madison looked at him with eerieness. After what had happened yesternight, she never thought he would help her or lie about for her.


    "Oh! But you are on your way to the new SCC meeting so..."


    "Madison and I will converse in my car on the way."


    John interrupted Eric on the halfway and held Madi''s hand and dragged her with him in the direction of the exit.


    The driver opened the car door, parked right outside the office premises. John gestured Madi to get in but she hesitated.


    "What about my Audi?"


    She questioned. Who would drive it back to wherever he was taking her??


    He sighed and asked for the keys from his driver and instructed him to drive her Audi to where they were going.


    "Give him your keys."


    She obliged and handed the keys to the driver who walked away in the direction of her Audi.


    "I will drive you, Sir."


    Eric offered.


    "I can drive him too."


    Madi kicked in and both Eric and John gave her a questionable look.


    "I used to drive Kian around so..."


    Madi reasoned. Eric looked at John to what he had to say and after a moment of silence, he tossed the keys to Madi, who smiled and got inside the driver''s seat almost immediately fearing Eric might stop her or before John changed his mind.


    "I have transferred the address of the destination in the car, sir."


    "Thanks, Eric. "


    John thanked him and then walked to the other side and got inside the passenger seat.


    After both settled in his Mercedes, and the front security car drove off, Madison started the engine of the car and followed the cars ahead.


    With five minutes of silence and no one daring to start the conversation, Madi knew she was losing time as the destination got closer.


    She had to exin to him everything and apologise to him for all of it. When they reached the intersection of the highway and the traffic lights turned red, all the cars came to a halt.


    Madison knew that once they would reach the SCC office in two minutes, she would never get another chance to talk with him.


    So she did what she thought would be best and buy her some time at least more than fifteen minutes to cover up everything.


    When the lights turned green, she moved the steering in the opposite direction and drove away at the high speed possible to leave his security team behind.


    "What the hell??"


    John yelled, looking at her, shocked at what she just did.


    "I know...I know. Just please give me fifteen minutes to exin everything."


    Madi spoke out in a hurry, ncing at him and then back at the road ahead of them.


    "You are going to make mete for my SCC meeting."


    John angrily voiced out. He was not liking her reckless behaviour at all.


    "I know and I m sorry but I promise it all will be worth it."


    "How is it going to be worth it, Madison??? Stop the car....stop the damn car right now."


    He snapped at her but she did not let go of the steering and pressed more on the elerator to speed up more.


    "What the...?? This is beyond the speed limit."


    He said and Madi just smiled at him, getting amused by how much abiding he was towards thew.


    In a moment like this, when, he should have been worried about his meeting, he wasining about her driving beyond the speed limit.


    "Do I look like I care?? I just need to talk to you."


    Madi replied, and John rolled his eyes at that. She swore under her breathe how hot he then looked right at the moment, getting annoyed by her.


    "And do I look like I want to talk to you after what you didst night??"


    John implored, ncing at her as he recalled how his sister back at home narrated about her and Madi''s love fiasco.


    Their three long years of rtionship which she broke up in just five minutes only because Delta was afraid toe out to the world about being gay.


    He had witnessed his sister crying and breaking over it. He had to take care of her hurt and vulnerable self for months before everything was fine.


    Even though, Delta never went out on a date ever again after that. And to know the woman responsible behind his sister''s misery was the same woman, he had been crushing over for more than a year.


    "I know you hate me and Lana hates me but you need to hear my side of the story..."


    "I m not in myst breathe interested so stop the damn car right now!!!"


    John dered, moving forward to get ahold of the steering and Madi struggled to keep it in herself.


    "Back off John before you kill us both..."


    She shouted, turning the Mercedes off the main road and to an ally. John did not give any heed to her words and continued to fight for control over the car.


    When it was getting out of hand, she pulled the car over and switched on the locks so that he would not be able to escape her.


    He immediately turned to his side to unlock his locks and Madi moved towards him and got upon him.


    "What the fuck??"


    He cursed, seeing her on top of him, sitting on hisp and holding his hands, stopping him from moving.


    "I m not letting go of you till you listen to me."


    Madi asserted and for a moment, John gave up battling and both peeked into each other eyes.


    Nobody knew what caused it, how did it even happen but the next thing, Madi mmed her lips over his full ones, out of nowhere.


    He remained static as her lips touched his. They could hear their racing heartbeats.


    Madi let go of his hands and cupped his face, pulling in his lower lip inside her mouth, licking it.


    John was hanging on a loose thread of his resistance, standing right at the tip of the cliff and would fall down any moment.


    Madi pressed her body close to his, rubbing over his crotch and he groaned out as his hands held her hips to keep her in one ce.


    "Please, kiss me!"


    She whispered against his lips and it was thest bullet fired and knocked John''s antagonism off.


    She did not have to wait twice, as he started kissing her with the same stamina and passion, she was to him.


    She pulled onto his hair as he deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue inside of her mouth and Madi allowed it...she allowed all of it.


    Her body was on fire as his hands roamed all over her back and below.

 Chapter 125 - I LIKE YOU BUT I LOVE HER...

    She pulled onto his hair as he deepened the kiss, thrusting his tongue inside of her mouth and Madi allowed it...she allowed all of it.


    Her body was on fire as his hands roamed all over her back and below. He gave a firm squeeze to her butts on jeans.


    Madi moaned at the contact and grinded against his hardness under his pants. His movements with her got urgently hasty.


    On struggling to breathe, John pulled off and showered kisses all over her jaw and the length of her neck, moving down to the exposed skin of her cleavage.


    "Oh fuck!"


    She moaned out when he pressed his hands hard on her breasts hardly. She pulled his body closer to hers.


    John kept leaving bite marks all over her naked skin, getting restless, wanting more and more, not wanting to stop at all.


    He leaned more towards her and the cab hit Madi''s back hard and she hissed with pain.


    "O!!"


    "Shit!! What happened??"


    He asked, looking up at her, rubbing her back. Madi breathed in and shook her head.


    Awkward silence enveloped the atmosphere once they realized what they were doing.


    Both parted their eyes off each other and Madi got up, moving back to her seat.


    Both wanted to speak up but they were no words left inside them to address each other.


    "I know that..."


    "This should not have happened!"


    Madi ovepped over whatever John was about to say. He shut his mouth the moment she spoke those words out.


    He did not regret one bit of what just had happened. In fact, he had been wanting to kiss her sincest but after everything got ruined, it was impossible.


    The kiss was filled with passion, dark desires, longing and raw lust. All he wanted was to pull her back on hisp and kiss the fuck out of her.


    Her chest heaving up and down in a disturbing rhythm that it irked his hands from wanting so much to touch her pulp breasts or feel the full shape of her butt.


    Madison closed her eyes when the intensity of the situation started falling over her head.


    What had she done??


    She was here to talk to him. Tell him how she still was in love with his sister...Lana and wanted his help to get back on her.


    But then she ended up giving in to her secret desires for him. She did notment one bit over the kiss. Hell, all she wanted was his lips everywhere on her skin more than anything else at that moment.


    "Yeah...yes..."


    "I love Lana."


    She mumbled to herself and John heard her. He did not know why suddenly he felt jealous of his sister.


    "I want to get back with her. "


    Madi started, looking back at him. Their eyes interlocked as he silently listened to whatever she had to say.


    "But I can''t get ahold of her. I want to do right by her side this time...so will you help me??"


    Madi very expectantly asked him. He never thought of all the things, this was what she would ask from him.


    He thought that maybe she was here to discuss back the deal or talk him back into it and surely, he would not have a mind it at all.


    He wanted to deny...deny helping her and keep her all for himself. But then how could he stop and get in between two people who loved each other dearly??


    He knew, he saw how his sister was still not over her and so could he see the same longing in Madi''s eyes too.


    He looked away, to the outside. But then why did he feel the kiss...the moment they had just shared was full of desires from her side too??


    What about that?? He wanted to ask, interview her about it and get answers before all of it.


    "I cannot make any promises."


    It was what he said after a long pause but still, it made Madi''s heart warm and fuzzy.


    She could see hope and it made her so happy. She gave him the sweetest smile as a heartful thank you.


    "Why??"


    It was a sudden question that made her turn back to look back at him. He bored his eyes deep into hers and repeated his question.


    "Why?? Then why kiss me like that as if you have been wanting it all along...why??"


    She opened her mouth to say but then closed it again, not knowing what to say or what to not say.


    His scrutinizing gaze over her face made her nervous and self-conscious. She bowed her head down, wanting to look at anything else but him.


    "Why kiss me like you wanted me, Madison??"


    "Lie to my face, look up into my eyes and say you felt nothing in your heart...say it and I will take you to my sister."


    His questions made her ufortable. He kept his eyes constantly upon her, observing how his straightforward questions made her so uneasy.


    "Common, say it...say you felt nothing."


    He demanded, pulling her by her arm making her to look at him. She peeked at him uneasily.


    She bit on her lips, closing her eyes to shut his face off from inside of her mind. Damn!!! She cursed inside herself.


    "Tell me don''t feel anything for me...spit it out!!"


    "I like you...fucking goddamnit!! Can''t you see??"


    Madi snapped back at him, angrily. Blood rising up to her ears and face as the truth was out in the air.


    "I so fucking like you...All I want is to kiss you nonstop and never stop."


    Her honest confession made John want to scream out to the world happily for knowing that he was not in some unrequited love interest.


    His feeling was returned. She felt for him...felt the same as he felt about her. And the information made him ecstatic.


    Madi got up and again sat back on hisp. He wrapped his arms around her narrow waist, liking the feel of her body back to his.


    "I like you, John Kravinshky."


    She mouthed, rising her forefinger up and started tracing his eyes, his nose, ears and rubbed her thumbs over his parted lips.


    "And I want to kiss you so bad that it hurts...if only if my heart did not belong to someone else...you would have been the one..."


    John remained silent, staring into her, as she continued to spill words after words from her delectable lips.


    Madi leaned closer and rested her forehead onto his, both inhaled and exhaled the same air, closing their eyes, finding peace at this moment.


    "...but I love Lana...it will always be her."


    And those nine wordspletely broke all theposure and peace, he had felt just a while ago in no time.


    He snapped open his eyes to see her. She was peering right inside of him as she spoke out the final words.


    "I love Lana Delta Kravinshky and want to be with her."


    It was at that exact moment, he had realized that nothing mattered anymore.


    There was nothing left to talk or negotiate. Fight for or scream out to, not when her heart already belonged to someone else.


    "FUCK!!"


    John cried out, angrily, upset, hitting his fist over the car window and it astonished Madison who was sitting right next to him on the driver''s seat.


    He had been quiet all these times, looking at her and then all of a sudden cursed out, shocking her.


    "Are you ok??"


    She intervened, touching his bicep softly, afraid of his outburst. And it was at that moment, John realized that he had been having hallucinations.


    He closed his eyes in defeat. All that he just heard, felt, her confessions, were...everything inside his head.


    He never dared to ask her and he would never know if it were true...what she confessed to him in his head were true??


    If she really felt it...something if not anything?? A deep mystery...


    It felt so real...everything felt so real. It was a second ago, she was sitting on hisp, speaking how much she wanted him, liked him...wanted to kiss him...if not only not for his sister.


    No wonder, why he was jealous of his own sister. He had liked Madison Maria for so long that his feelings for her had grown inside of him without a stop on it.


    But now it was of no use. He could not fight for the love...his love when she did not even feel the hint of it so it was a battle that never happened.


    All he could do was let her go and unite her with his sister. It would hurt him but he had to let go...that was all he could do.


    "I and Delta are off to Hawai tonight...you can join us."


    He offered her and it bought a bright smile to Madi''s face, the one that made him want to rethink about his decision.

 Chapter 126 - "LETS GO?"

    The morning sun was shining brightly outside and the momma bird was feeding her little baby birds, sitting on the branch of the tree so peacefully as the baby birds would chirp, opening their beaks for more food.


    "Tinsley, the coffee is getting cold."


    That made her turn her head from watching the bird family back to her husband, who was staring at her, concerned.


    "Huh?"


    She did not catch what he just said. He sipped on his coffee from the mug, reading the news from the iPad.


    "Your coffee... it''s getting cold."


    He pointed to her again. She nodded understanding. She picked the mug up from the kitchen counter and started sipping slowly.


    Kian could see how lost she had been all these days. It had been more than three days and still, the circumstances were no better.


    When they were done, she collected the tes and mugs and walked towards the sink to wash them clean.


    He could tell she had been avoiding him...avoiding his stares, looks and talks.


    She was the kind of person who could not go without talking. She distasted silence. She had told him about that. And he remembered it all too well that it was the only thing that made her afraid and anxious.


    Once done, she started wiping the counter clean. He observed all her actions with close eyes.


    "Are you alright?"


    His question hit her off-guard. She looked up at him, opening her mouth to answer him but then closed it, not knowing what to do and how to reply to him.


    Was she alright??


    It was very obvious that she was not. She still could not dare up to tell him the truth yet.


    And it was killing her from inside for having to keep it all inside of her, slowly and painfully hurting inside, crawling in the darkness, afraid to face the light day by day.


    And before she could give him a proper answer, the car honked and it was her cue to leave as Madison was here.


    She had decided to resume her cooking lessons and Kian approved it. So Madi was here to pick her up.


    "I...I need to go."


    She said to which he did not respond right away. He kept seated on the high stool, watching herplexion.


    "Yeah...sure."


    He mouthed after a while and she nodded. She moved around to head out but he stopped her, pulling her close to him, holding her arm.


    He leaned in and kissed her soft lips. She closed her eyes, forming a fist on either side.


    "Take care!"


    He mumbled, pecking her lips one more time. She smiled at him, nodding and then turning around to go.


    He breathed in and sighed, not loving these silent Tinsley at all. She was not even returning his kisses.


    He had not touched her for three straight days and that was the longest he had gone without making love to her.


    It felt different. She felt different, so stiff under his arms as if he were a stranger. He missed her...his Tinsley.


    "Hey??"


    He tilted his head to see her standing before him with a sweet, enchanting smile.


    She bowed and pecked his lips softly, pulling away even before he could react.


    "You take care too!"


    She said and then waited for his response. He was still taken aback by this sudden action.


    "Yeah...I will!"


    He replied and the car honked more. That interrupted whatever he was going to say next.


    "Now go before that bitch sets the neighbourhood on fire!"


    He joked and that made her giggle for the first time in three days and it was a refreshing start.


    She leaned once again to ce a sweet kiss on his cheeks and then ran away, hastily.


    It made him feel like he just had a moment with the Tinsley...the one he knew.


    Her warm kiss...he touched his cheeks feeling it and his heart exploded with minimal joy for the very first time since that awful night.


    Tinsley climbed down the stairs and saw Madi sitting inside the Audi, blowing horns more when she came closer.


    It made her chuckle and race towards the car. Madi got out and both drew each other in a tight hug.


    "God!! I missed my redhead sister!"


    Madi muttered, hugging Tinsley. She was d to have someone in her life...a sister figure when she grew up as a single lonely child.


    "I missed you too!"


    Tinsley smiled. The outside breeze and sun made her feel refreshed and alive after sulking inside the house for quite a long time then.


    "Let''s go then, I have lots to say to you."


    Madison said, opening the car door for Tinsley. She obliged, getting inside without wasting another time.


    "And I can''t wait to listen to it."


    Madison got inside the driver''s seat and both drove away from the building premises.


    Kian watched them driving away from the terrace, being the loneliness slowly creeping him inside.


    He sighed and walked inside, collecting his keys andptop, heading to the cafe to get some work done.


    "My God!!! You joined them on their trip to Hawai??"


    Tinsley eximed, not being able to believe what she just heard. Was not a few days ago, she was crying out how everything had been ruined??


    Madi chuckled, remembering the trip. It was so clear inside her mind, so vivid and bright.


    "I told you he offered then how the hell could I refuse??"


    Tinsley nodded understanding. She could notprehend how much a good gentleman this John was.


    "Plus it was my chance to rekindle my love."


    "And did it work??"


    Tinsley implored to which Madison blushed, driving to the main highway, entering the city corner.


    ________________________________________________


    She could not decide if it was a one day trip or a few days or a to and fro trip??


    She remembered Lana having the to and fro trips for her modelling almost thrice a month when they were together.


    So it was confusing and so she decided against packing any clothes for the trip at all.


    She cursed, thinking she should have asked him if it were a vacay or work trip??


    And then she did not want to disturb John, calling him to ask such silly questions.


    He had already helped her...offered a chance to exin Lana and rekindle their love once again.


    So when the clock stroke five in the evening, she was already waiting outside the Richmond Private Airport.


    Of course, they would be flying on a private jet, more precisely to be his or Lana. She did not even doubt if Lana had acquired for her by now.


    Working with Kian, she had known and well adapted to the lives of these billionaires.


    Two ck Mercedes cars lined up. She turned around to see and was sure it was to be John because it was almost time to fly.


    John got out as Eric opened the door and the other two guards collected his backpacks from the trunk.


    John saw her and walked towards her. Madison could not help biting her lips as she watched him close to her in a ck suit, his muscles bulging out of his white shirt.


    He looked so...she could not form a word to describe his handsomeness. And here he was, standing right in front of her.


    She leaned off from the hood of her Audi and stood straight, cursed internally when the scent of his cologne hit her nose.


    "You are here?"


    She took a second to respond to that. She was too gone admiring his manly self and feeling his hoarse rough voice.


    "Yeah...yes, yes!! I m!!"


    She stuttered, getting embarrassed at herself. John noticed the redness of her cheeks and it made him amused to know that he had some kind of effect on her.


    "You invited me so..."


    "Totally, I remember."


    John replied, shaking his head positively. She smiled, scratching the back of her neck.


    "So... let''s go??"


    "Sure!!"


    She very excitedly answered and he waited for a while for her to collect her bags and she kept standing still, watching him.


    "Let''s go??"


    She intervened and it was then he understood that she had not bought any bags with her.


    He turned around to walk towards the ne and she followed, walking beside him. Eric and the guards walked before them.


    "Just so you know it''s a two-day trip."


    John spoke out and it was then Madi realized that she was screwed because she had not packed anything with her.


    Not even her underwear or her phone charger, herptop, all her essentials for a goddamn trip.


    John chuckled, watching how the colour of her face changed. He recalled that he never informed her that it was a two-day trip so she must have assumed it to be a to and fro one.


    It was toote by then to turn around and drive home to pack those things.


    "Is everything alright?"


    He asked. She gave him an awkward smile.


    "I just remembered have to go shopping as soon as wend."

    THANK YOU.

 Chapter 127 - "YEAH...GET IN..."

    "You are two minuteste."


    The moment, John and Madison stepped inside the aerone, they heard Lana''s voice.


    "I know...I had to wait for apanion."


    John replied and Lana looked up from her magazine, sitting on thefy seat and saw her brother, behind him the woman, she loved.


    Her mouth hung open, not being able to believe her eyes, what she was looking at.


    Madison smiled at her, awkwardly, afraid that Lana would behave rudely asking her to get the hell out of the ne.


    That was thest thing she would do, not when she had a real chance to make this alright.


    "The flight is ready to fly. Please tighten your seat belts. We willnd in Hawaii in five hours exactly. "


    The Pilot dered through the inte and John sat opposite to Lana, tightening up his belt, while Madison stood there ideally, staring at Lana.


    "Sit down, Ms Maria"


    He said to which Madi nodded and sat beside the seat of Lana. She fumbled with her seat belt and Lana sighed, stepping on to help her, leaning near her.


    John looked away from them as the ne took off. He could not see it...see them so cosy.


    He was aware of the fact that Madi was only acting to not know how to tighten her seat belt.


    To get Lana close to her and she was sessful. She was already working her ways in to warm up back in his sister''s heart.


    And his naive sister would be falling for her head over heels in no time just like he did.


    The air hostess stepped inside to greet them, state the weather in Hawai and asked if they needed something.


    "Two cream coffees."


    Madi ordered and turned to look at Lana.


    "I remember it helped you while flying."


    She mumbled and Lana could not consume the fact that all these years and she still remembered about it.


    John saw everything unfolding right in front of him. He fisted his palms, not wanting to be here at all at this moment.


    The air hostess nodded to Madi and Lana and turned her attention to John who had yet to order his refreshment.


    "And what about you, Sir?"


    "One cold whisky!"


    John said, looking away to the outside white clouds and it made his sister nce at him, concerned.


    "When did consuming alcohol became refreshment?"


    She questioned. The air hostess patiently waited if John would change his mind. Both she and Madi watched the brother and sister having a conversation.


    "I had a rough day, ok? Delta. Chill!!"


    He let out and Lana rolled her eyes at him for being an annoying ass. The air hostess stepped out to get their orders.


    In a few minutes, the air hostess came again and handed Lana and Madi their cream confess and John his ss of cold whisky.


    Not being able to watch her brother getting drunk in the daylight, she stood up and headed inside the bedroom back in the ne.


    Madi watched Lana going away and did not know if she should follow her or give her some privacy.


    She had already stepped inside their ne without her notice, intruding on the privacy of both the brother and the sister.


    "Being overdramatic as always."


    John muttered, rolling his eyes, taking a sip of his cold whisky from his ss. Madi peeked at him, getting drunk.


    "She does not like you drinking?"


    She questioned. John chuckled at that, tilting his head to look back at her.


    "Lately, she has been not liking anything that I do."


    He replied and somewhere in the middle, Madi could rte that it was because of her.


    She was the reason he and his sister were having unspoken fights and it did not sit well with her one bit.


    By everything that he did, or had done so far, she could tell how much he loved his sister and cared about her even when she had ended up humiliating him a few nights ago.


    But she was helpless. She was in a position where she could not help any of them and could not even let go of this chance either.


    "I think I will go to the back to join her."


    Madi asserted, getting up from her seat. There was no more need to tighten the seat belt.


    "Do whatever you wish to do."


    John excused her away uninterested and continued gulping the whisky down his throat.


    Madi shrugged and walked to the back and stopped on reaching the door. She very softly knocked on it and heard a faint e in after a little while.


    Madi opened the door and saw Lana sitting on the Queen sized bed, staring at the in white wall.


    "Hey!"


    "Hey?"


    Lana greeted back not sure why she was here. She thought it to be her brother but then Madison was already inside, closing the door behind her.


    "I...uhh...I m sorry for appearing out of nowhere."


    Madi apologized to which Lana nodded, not speaking out anything or showing disapproval about it anymore.


    "Well not like you can get rid of me now so up in the air!"


    Madi joked, walking closer to the bed and sat beside Lana, a small distance between them.


    "I still can ask the pilot to throw you out."


    Lana chuckled, turning to look at Madi.


    "And kill me for breaking your heart and no one would even know about it...nice n!!"


    Madi kidded and in a second gap, they both ended upughing at each other''s jokes.


    In the midway, Madi stopped to nce at Lanaughing. It was such a refreshing sight. It had been ages since she saw and heard Lanaugh.


    Lana stoppedughing when she noticed Madi''s intense gaze over her. She felt self-conscious and nervous under it.


    Madi raised her right hand to slid one of her strands of hair behind her ear and Lana shivered under her touch as her fingers brushed with her cold ears.


    Lana tilted to look at her and both of their eyes interlocked with each other. Madi could see herself in her grey orbs and so did, Lana who could stare at her reflection in Madi''s chocte brown pupils.


    The moment seemed to have frozen down as they continued to nce into each other''s souls without a stop, not hearing the sound of the door unlocking just when they were about to get closer.


    "What the...??"


    John gasped, did not bother to knock at the door to open and came inside to a view like that.


    Both Madi and Lana broke out of their moment and turned to look at John. Madi''s cheeks painted red when hers and his eyes fell upon each other.


    "You know people knock before barging inside a room?"


    Lana annoyedly pointed it out to her brother, who could not help from parting his eyes off from Madi.


    "Yeah...sorry...sorry about that."


    He stammered and headed back out, closing the door behind him. He forgot why had he gone inside in the first ce.


    He sighed when he realized that it would not be long before they would rekindle their love, back where they had left and he would be left alone...alone with his unrequited love.


    He walked back to his seat and ordered for another whiskey. Four more hours to fly and he could not wait to be out of here, in the same space as them...as her and head to the hotel, locking himself in his suite and burn in agony and pain.


    Momentster, Madi and Lana joined him back. They both sat in their original ces and remained silent for the entire journey.


    John dozed off and Lana got busy checking her phone out. Madi got bored of the long journey.


    She was not used to just sitting ideally and not doing on long flights. She was used to working things out when Kian and her would fly to different ces for work.


    And finally, when the ne was about tond, the pilot again asked them to tighten their seat belt for thending.


    In a short while, they hadnded safely. Eric was quick to get the luggage out and instruct the guards to take them to their destined hotel.


    John strode forward to get on his Mercedes when Madi walked up to him. He stopped on his way.


    "I know you will be driving to a sight as Lana told me and not straight to the hotel...so can I join you as I have a little shopping to do??"


    She asked, hoping he would agree. He was not expecting that at all. He saw Lana riding off with her assistant in her Range Rover straight to the


    hotel, leaving Madi and him alone.


    Even though after everything that had happened, he wanted to be as far away he could from get but did he have a choice then and not give her a ride??


    "Yeah...get in."

 Chapter 128 - "I LOST MY BABY!"

    "Plus it was my chance to rekindle my love."


    "And did it work??"


    Tinsley implored to which Madison blushed, driving to the main highway, entering the city corner.


    "What next?? "


    Tinsley questioned after listening to Madi''s narration over a cup of coffee in the city cafe.


    Madi just narrowed her eyes at Tinsley midway into the story of Hawai. Tinsley raised her eyebrows, not getting what happened next.


    "You do not want me to narrate the part I seducing Lana back to loving me?? Now, do you??"


    Madi sassed and Tinsley gave her a questionable look, not believing that she could be telling the truth at this point.


    They only reached the part where they almost kissed iing until John interrupted them in the ne and destroyed the moment.


    It stopped with Madi asking John if she could ride with him to shopping and then it directly skipped to making love with Lana??


    She could not just believe that. Something more should have had happened right??


    Tinsley questioned herself and Madi just shrugged it off, drinking her coffeepletely.


    "And also it''s time for you to meet my girlfriend, Lana...."


    Madi spoke out, raising her wrist up to check the time on her wristwatch. Tinsley kept frowning until she heard the bell ring of the cafe when another customer entered and it was none other than Lana, herself, in bones and flesh.


    "And there she is..."


    Madi smiled, standing up. Lana saw her from the entrance and walked straight up to their table.


    "Hey, baby!"


    She greeted Madi with a quick peck on her lips and then turned to look at Tinsley who kept watching the duo in utter shock and confusion.


    "Hey, babe! Do you remember me telling you about the redhead woman my nana used to look after and now we are friends??"


    Madi implored and Lana nodded, smiling. Tinsley red at Madi''s intro of her to Lana.


    "Well, that is her. Tinsley Randall!"


    "Hey, I m Lana, nice to meet you."


    Lana cheered, extending her hand for Tinsley to shake. It was only then she stood up and shook Lana''s hand, awkwardly.


    "I was just telling her about how I seduced you to loving me back again."


    Madi said, pulling Lana''s chair for her to sit in and gestured the waiter toe to their table.


    "I have always loved you, Mad!"


    Lana chuckled, smiling at Tinsley who very awkwardly just gawked at the lovey-dovey couple.


    She could not get how easily one could rekindle their love just like that??


    Was not Madison crying about it to her the other night??


    And today, she was here smiling andughing about everything along with her lover by her side.


    "I missed using here, Madison. I m so happy right now!"


    Lana mumbled, sipping her coffee from the mug. They used toe here a lot after Madison would have her lunch break when they were dating.


    "Me too!!"


    Madison let out, holding onto Lana''s hand on the table, rubbing her thumbs over Lana''s palm.


    "I m so happy to have you both here."


    Madipleted and Tinsley gave them a generous smile. She was d that after everything that had happened, Madison was finally in her happy ce with the woman she loved.


    And she was definitely happy about that. Once they were done with their other round of beverages, Madi drove them to her house.


    Anna Maria was ecstatic to meet Lana. The house was filled with happiness and joyous moment.


    Tinsley, Madi and Lana helped Anna Maria prepare lunch in the kitchen together.


    It was like a feast. They had prepared so many dishes. Lana basically created a mess because she had no idea of what cooking was like.


    Tinsley could see her reflection in Lana a few months back when she was as immature as Lana.


    And she could not wonder but how things had changed. It had been three months since her parent''s death and life had taken a u-turn for herpletely.


    Of all the terrible things that she had to face before ending up with Kian, she did not regret it as much as she had repented and cried internally for her lost child.


    And just like that, even being in the midst of three joyful people, having a merry luncheon on the table, she felt alone, lonely and avoid deep inside of her.


    Anna Maria caught hold of Madi and Lana''s hands on the table forming a ring, Tinsley joined too.


    "My family is finallyplete now."


    Anna Maria concluded. The old woman could not hold back her happy tears overflowing from her eyes.


    And everything Kian had confessed to her of their future started showering over her like an unwanted hailstorm with no roof to hide in.


    "I promise to be the better version of me for you and our iing child. "


    He held on to her waist tightly and it was enough to let Tinsley know how hard it was for him to be clean about himself.


    "After my mother died, I never thought I coulde to liking anyone as close I m to you...I never thought of letting myself get close to anyone as I m to you...


    Before I intended to hold myself back but now I m fully in, body, soul and mind with every ounce of me herewith you.


    I, know the conditions are not at the best and I give you my words that I will work hard to give you the life you deserve, you were born into and raised to be in one...the same for our baby. "


    "It''s very strange how a few years ago, I never thought of meeting a woman as beautiful as you...sharing an innate connection, marry her ande to the point of seeing a possible future with her, together, with our children. "


    She broke down on right then and there, not carrying about the people surrounding her.


    She felt like she had failed him and it was crushing her from inside for not knowing how to tell him the truth at all.


    She was afraid of how he would react, scared that he would turn out to be like her father and treat her like her mother for the rest of their marriage.


    Anna Maria, Madi and Lana turned to look at her with astonishment. They had no idea what just happened for Tinsley to start crying like a baby out of nowhere.


    "My dear, what is wrong??"


    Anna Maria questioned from her seat, getting concerned. She was crying staring at her te of half-eaten food as if she had not heard the old woman''s voice.


    "Is the food bad?? "


    "How could it be?? That''s her pae she made."


    Madi pointed out. They were clueless and Tinsley continued to cry like a newborn without a break...like a heartbroken girl in her teens.


    Anna Maria got up from her seat and walked up to where she was sitting and pulled Tinsley in for a hug sideways.


    "Everything will be fine!"


    She said, rubbing Tinsley''s back soothingly, trying to calm her down. She had not seen Tinsley cry like that after that incident in the summer when Kian never again returned for her.


    That summer ending, Tinsley finally gave up on waiting for the young boy...stopped visiting the mango tree where they had shared their first kiss for him to not return ever again.


    She had cried the same way she was crying, hugging Anna Maria. Her young heart had been broken that day very cruelly, leaving a trauma in her mind.


    "How can be everything...fine???"


    Tinsley sobbed, her vision getting blurry from the tears. She saw everything hazy and unclear...just like her future.


    "Everything gets better in the end..."


    Anna Maria mumbled to her, rubbing her back, trying to console her. Madi and Lana watched the duo awkwardly.


    "How could it?? How could it this time??"


    Tinsley questioned, thrashing her face more into Anna Maria''s warm chest, trying to heat her cold, slowly dying soul from inside.


    "Who will bring back my baby?? "


    They could not pinpoint out what exactly Tinsley was crying out in between her sobs.


    Anna Maria looked in Madi''s direction asking if she knew about something but Madi just shrugged, not having any clue at all.


    "I lost it...I lost my baby forever!!"


    Tinsley wailed, horrifying everyone present at the table. They were stunned even to utter or make a single noise.


    Madi remembered Tinsley telling her how they were trying for a baby and how she had dismissed the idea dejectedly.


    It was then she felt sick internally thinking if it had anything to do with her...losing the baby.


    "He...he will hate me...hate me for the rest of our lives..."


    Tinsleyined, fearing the worst. She was at the most bottom point of her life and would not be able to hold it in if Kian rejected her.


    "What if...what if he hates me as daddy did to mother??"


    Her question stunned Anna Maria, leaving her speechless.

 Chapter 129 - "I KNEW IT...I JUST WANTED YOU TO TELL ME!"

    FLASHBACK


    Shattering sounds of objects intensified inside the room, doors were half-closed and through the periphery, a little girl leaned in to see what was going inside.


    It scared her as to how her father was shouting upon her mother who was sitting on the cold floor, expressionless, without moving, her hairs covering her face.


    Little Tinsley held her teddy close to her chest as the scene unfolding before her small eyes terrified her.


    "You are useless. I m so doomed to have married you. Your father thrashed his burden upon me and now I have to die with it."


    Max cursed, kicking off the wooden chair. It fell onto Marshally''s hand and tears soaked her eyes but she did not make any sound anymore.


    Her mind was full of so many noises that it subsided the voice of her. It was too weak toe out in the world.


    "You are ageing. I should have married a young woman instead who is fertile instead of you...I did not cheat till this date, Marshally...tell me why should I not go and get my hair from a mistress??"


    He questioned, looking down upon her. She remained unmoving, her head bowed down.


    "Tell me why should I not go to another woman instead??"


    He implored, holding her hair and making her look up at him. Tinsley gasped when she saw the swollen face of her mother.


    Her small heart was crying inside, it was hurting for her mother and wanted to help her but she was too afraid of her father. He resembled the cruel man in her storybooks.


    "Why Tinsley is not enough??"


    It was the question Marshally would often throw in her husband''s way. The males in her and his family always made sure it had to be the man, the breadwinner of the family.


    She understood in her time that things were different but now...right now, things had changed so why could not these men too??


    Why every time a girl is born, they try for a boy next and not when the boy is born first...they would never try for a girl...just why??


    "She is just like you..."


    It was what her husband answered, staring right into her red drenched eyes. She did not understand him one bit.


    "She is ours...Max. She is ours!"


    Marshally raised her voice. She wanted him to love their daughter again just like before everything.


    These days, he did not even spare one nce in his own daughter''s way and how much it hurt Tinsley...her own father had no clue of it...not any of it.


    "But is she, Marshally??"


    Max spat back. "Where did the red hairs and blue eyese from, huh??"


    She closed her eyes. How could she exin such a thing to him?? She was not an expert in gics.


    "Ask the maids to clear this mess and be ready for me in five minutes. We will try again."


    He dered, about to go out when Anna Maria pulled Tinsley to her side and walked the girl back to her room.


    Anna Maria closed the door behind and saw Tinsley tightly holding onto her teddy, scared like a stray kitten.


    "Everything will be alright, my child!"


    She consoled the little girl, hugging her to her warm chest, rubbing her back, trying to calm her down.


    "Why daddy always remains angry at mommy, Anna Maria??"


    ________________________________________________


    "He...he will hate me...hate me for the rest of our lives..."


    Tinsleyined, fearing the worst. She was at the most bottom point of her life and would not be able to hold it in if Kian rejected her.


    "What if...what if he hates me as daddy did to mother??"


    Her question stunned Anna Maria, leaving her speechless. It took her mind back to those olden times.


    She had always pitied Marshally, Tinsley''s mother. That woman never saw one happy day after her countless miscarriages from her husband and that trauma seemed to have been engraved in Tinsley''s mind forever.


    Madison saw how disturbed her nana looked so she stood up and let Anna Maria to her room.


    After a while, Madison was driving Tinsley back to her home. They did not talk about the incident anymore.


    Madison parked the car in front of the building and Tinsley mumbled a small thank you, turning to head out but Madi stopped her.


    "You know he loves you?"


    Tinsley turned to look back at her.


    "He never once said it to me."


    She replied, getting hurt by the realization. Madison sighed.


    "Sometimes we do not say that we love the person but we actually do in our heart."


    Tinsley nodded her head, peeking at Madi''s eyes, concerned for her.


    "And idents happen. Not everything works out on the first try. Tell him the truth. He deserves to know, Tinsley."


    Madi exined to her. Tinsley''s eyes watered expecting the worst from her true confession.


    "What if he hates me??"


    "Hate you?? Why?? Because you can''t control the cycle of life and death??"


    Madi tried to make her point with Tinsley. She wanted to give her enough courage toe clean with her husband.


    "And if he does...this is your chance to know if he really loves you. If he does, he willfort you and not hate you."


    Tinsley closed her eyes, letting Madi''s words sink inside of her. She smiled at Madi and turned to head out.


    "I know he loves you and we are always here."


    Madi concluded. She pulled her for a warm hug before letting go. Tinsley waited outside until the car disappeared from her sight.


    With heavy shoulders, she climbed up the stairs. Her mind screaming, yelling at her. Her heart crying in fear.


    Her inside was a mess. It was still mourning for her lost baby and at the same time, crying in fear for having to confess the truth out.


    But it was necessary. She knew it was what she had to do if she needed to move on.


    She needed toe clean. She was tired of hiding the truth. She was tired of having to cry, mourn and wail for the loss of their child all by herself.


    She needed him...her husband, her man by her side, to pull her from this dark cave with no light to move on.


    When she opened the door of their apartment, she saw him, sitting on the sofa, staring at theptop on the table before.


    He turned to look at her. She gave him a genuine smile, standing still on the threshold of the door. He returned the smile back to her.


    She closed the door behind her and with small steps, came closer to him and sat beside him.


    She caught hold of his hand, running circles on the backside of his palm. He let her and just observed her, silently.


    "I need to tell you something."


    Tinsley said, tilting her head up to nce at her husband. His grey eyes bored into her blue ones.


    "I had a miscarriage."


    She let out, looking right into his eyes and he remained unmoved. It was scaring her from inside but she continued.


    "We lost our child."


    A strand of hot tear flushed out of her eyes as she spoke those words out.


    "I could not...could not carry it inside of me...safe."


    And she broke down atst. Her strong face faded off. Kian was quick to pull her into him...in his arms, not being able to see her that broken.


    "You tried all you could, baby."


    He mumbled, rubbing her back as she cried her heart out onto his chest, soaking his t-shirt.


    "I knew it...I just wanted you to tellme."


    Kian said and it made Tinsley cry harder knowing that just like her, he was too hurting her, silently.


    She raised her head up from his chest to peek at him. She cupped his face in between her hands.


    "We will get through this...together."


    She asserted and he nodded in positive. He pecked her lips, and both rested their foreheads on each other, closing their eyes.


    "Yes, we will...together always!"


    He said and they both remained like that for as long as they wanted to, this time mourning for their loss together, grieving for the dead soul.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison drove back to her house and saw Lana, sitting by the porch, waiting for her lover.


    She stood up when Madi got out of the car and walked up to her. They both engulfed each other in a tight hug.


    "Your nana was quite devastated. I put her to sleep."


    Lana said as they both sat on the patio, under the starry sky, watching the full moon.


    "She is your nana too."


    Madi uttered and Lana smiled, nodding. She leaned onto Madi''s shoulder and Madi wrapped her arms around her.


    "It is a mystery how good she was concealing everything...every hurt inside of her for so long, right??"


    Madi nodded at Lana''s question.

    And she broke down atst. Her strong face faded off. Kian was quick to pull her into him...in his arms, not being able to see her that broken.


    "You tried all you could, baby."


    He mumbled, rubbing her back as she cried her heart out onto his chest, soaking his t-shirt.


    "I knew it...I just wanted you to tellme."

    Tinsley questioned, sleeping on his chest on their bed, listening to his heartbeat in the dark.


    "From the inte...I looked up when you were bleeding too much."


    He answered, looking up at the ceiling, running his fingers over her red locks. The light from the street illuminating the bedroom a little.


    "Oh!"


    "How about you??"


    He intervened, tilting his head to look down at her, tracing his chest.


    "Same as you."


    "Hmm..."


    He hummed. She continued to rest on his chest, findingfort in his arms, her safe haven.


    "Is the bleeding over??"


    He asked. She nodded.


    "Yes, for good. Every time I bled, it broke my inside knowing that is our child''s..."


    Kian put a finger on her mouth, stopping her frompleting that sentence.


    "Don''t... it''s over... it''s over now!"


    He said and both raised up in a sitting position. He leaned onto the headboard, pulling her back into his arms.


    They both could not see each other faces clearly but he felt his chest wet and knew that she was crying.


    "We can''t break over one loss when there''s more wonderful news are waiting for us in the future..."


    He mumbled, kissing her head. But could she be alright just hoping for the best in the future??


    Yes???...maybe just not right at that moment.


    But of all these, her heart was at peace knowing he did not me her, he was not like her father...he loved her.


    _________________________________________


    A month had passed since that night. And everythinghad fallen back to its ce or so it seemed.


    She roamed around the living room, cleaning the floor, keeping the coats on the rectilinear. He never learned to do so after so much yelling.


    She shook her head and kept them back up, hanging when a few letters dropped out of the coat pocket.


    They were letters, some opened and a few unopened. She kept them on the table.


    "Kian???"


    She called out for him but no answer came out. He was still inside the shower, taking his morning bath.


    She left the letters there and went to check on the breakfast but turned around, being curious of what the letters could be.


    She did not want to intrude on his privacy. They both respected each other privacy but then her inner conscience dered as if she had any.


    He knew everything about her. So she thought why not check the letters out. She opened one out of many, the already opened one.


    It was from the electricity department. They were overdue. She then recklessly opened the other letters and checked those too.


    They were running out of gas, water, grocery, phone recharge, every kind of bill and overdue. If not paid within a week time, all the lines would be cut off.


    She sighed, sitting down on the floor. He had not once told her about it, keeping secrets about the household matter...that he was running out of money.


    She went to their bedroom and picked up his MacBook. She opened it, sitting on the bed and went to check his bnce.


    Only a few hundred dors were left of his saving. It was not enough to cover all the bills with a penalty for payingte.


    She did not know...could not understand what he was trying to do, keeping matters like these from her??


    It was exactly at that moment, he got out of the bathroom, with a towel hung lower on his waist. He saw her sitting on the bed with hisptop on herp, ring in his direction.


    "What??"


    He questioned, walking towards the closet to get his clothes for the day. She just watched him, silently putting his clothes on, dropping the towel down and wearing his pants without a shame.


    She looked away. She could not stand him at that moment. He noticed her expression.


    "It''s not like you have not seen it?"


    He raised his eyebrows, amusedly. It just annoyed her further and she rolled her eyes, getting up and walking out of there.


    "Wait...?? Did you just roll your eyes at me??"


    He questioned but she was too quick walking away. He cursed under his breath for getting hard.


    It had been a month and they had not done anything other than holding hands, cuddling and small lip kisses.


    He was going crazy to be back on the action. He understood that she needed time...time to heal from everything and he had been very generous at that and patient.


    But he was only a man and he had his needs. It was not that case either when she would walk around the house, wearing just his long t-shirt without pants or sleeping on with just underwear on.


    His hands itched to touch her, feel her and be inside her once again just like the olden times.


    She would always find a way to excuse herself whenever he would try to get close to her.


    Andtely, it had been annoying and frustrating at the same time. But he could not say anything or do anything about it.


    But the sass...those angry res as if he did something and walking away from him, he would not tolerate any such things.


    He made his way to the kitchen and she served him the breakfast on the counter.


    He sat on the high stool and picked his mug up to sip his morning coffee. He was getting used to her taste of coffee and these days, the coffee they served in the cafe, distasted him.


    "I will drop you off at Madison''s so call her off today."


    He said, eating his omelette. He wanted to spend some time with her outside of this house.


    "Madi''s going to pick me up in five.So no need of it."


    She replied, cleaning the kitchen cab, putting the materials inside of it.


    "Well, I m going to drop you so call her off for today."


    Kian stressed thest part. He did not understand why she was behaving like a brat again. All he wanted to do was to drive her...what was so wrong about it??


    "And how would you do that??"


    Tinsley questioned, turning back to face him, leaning on the kitchen counter.


    "What do you mean how?? I will drive you off course??"


    Kian countered back, dropping the toast back on the te, looking at her.


    "But how when you are out of gas??"


    Tinsley implored, folding her hands against her chest. Kian narrowed his eyes at her, not understanding but then got it the next second.


    "Not just gas...we will be running out of electricity, water, inte, everything in just a week..."


    Tinsley started and Kian sighed, looking down.


    "Look, I would have told you..."


    "When?? When would you have told me, Kian?? After our house was in darkness??"


    Tinsley stated, getting angry at him. He too stood up, not liking the tone she was using on him. He was not used to it.


    "And as if you could have done something??"


    He very cruelly mocked her. And it hit her straight as she peeked at him, astonished at the way he was behaving.


    "Does it matter?? Or that you should have told me, that you have no money...and we are running out of everything??"


    She interviewed, trying to fire some sense in his goddamn mind.


    "Tell me what would you have done if I told you?? Tell me how would have helped the situation if I told...so fucking make me understand how things would have turned out any different if had I told you??? "


    His voice roared and it angered her more too. She walked up to him and stood in front of him.


    "Nothing would have changed but I would have helped you...this is our house, Kian..."


    "And how exactly would you have helped, pray tell me, Tinsley??"


    "We would figure something out instead of you bearing it all alone..."


    He stopped her in the middle even before she couldplete.


    "See...we would figure things out together. Well, to burst your bubble, we would never have...because in the end, it will be me...only I who can do it...not you so shut up and be the damn wife!"


    She remained silent, not believing how petty he sounded just like her dead father.


    "You sound like my fucking father."

 Chapter 131 - "YOU ARE DERANGED!"

    "See...we would figure things out together. Well, to burst your bubble, we would never have...because in the end, it will be me...only I who can do it...not you so shut up and be the damn wife!"


    She remained silent, not believing how petty he sounded just like her dead father.


    "You sound like my fucking father."


    She spat and decided to just leave him, picking up her coat. It angered him more for walking out on him.


    "Yes...just go!!! Go to Nathan, now that I have nothing to offer anymore...go spread your legs for him!!"


    He resumed yelling nonsense in her way. The more she ignored him but in thest part, she stopped and walked up to him again.


    "What did you just say??"


    She questioned, boring her eyes deep into his red ones, fuming with rage and deep fury.


    "You heard me!"


    It was all he said and a tight pnded on his right cheek, the sound of it echoed in his mind and hers.


    "You fucking asshole!"


    She cursed, storming out of there, not giving him any damn time to react. Very angrily, she closed the door behind her.


    She could not believe the nerve of this man. How could he?... How could he say something as awful as that about his own wife??


    She climbed down the stairs in a haste. All she wanted at that time was to scream hell profanities at him, give him a piece of her mind.


    The passerby eyed her as she stood on the ground awkwardly, waiting for Madison.


    His words kept ringing in her mind like a siren nonstop, getting on her damn nerves.


    She tried calling Madison but it went to her voicemail. She might be busy orte or whatever.


    When she needed her so badly right at that moment...to rent about her stupid idiotic husband and how much deranged he was to think she would cheat on him just because they were undergoing through some tough situation.


    He deserved that p. She wanted tond a few punches too on his gorgeous face for speaking out gibberish.


    Being inside the cell of her mind, she did not notice the ck Te that stopped in front of her.


    Nathan slipped the ss window down to see Tinsley Rutherford, on the town street all by herself.


    "Hey??"


    Tinsley looked up from staring at the ground. She had no idea when did he drive his te near her.


    "Hey?"


    She replied back,ing closer to him. He poked his head out more.


    "What are you doing out here all alone??"


    He asked. She was nowhere near to having a decent talk but sheposed herself.


    "Waiting for my ride."


    "What happened to your husband?"


    Nathan implored. Tinsley was about to say that she did not want to talk about that asshole at the moment but stopped herself.


    Nathan could see the hesitation in her. He did sense as if something was not right.


    "What about him?? I do not need him to drive me around. "


    Tinsley answered. She was tired of living in a man''s shadow all her life. It was tiresome to make them see that she could live too without them...loving them made them think that she was dependant on them.


    It was a toxic message that man understood way easier than any other message that love reflected.


    From up the balcony, Kian was watching over the entire scenario. He was somehow holding himself back from storming down to the sight and not drag that brat of a wife of his back home from that bastard''s presence.


    Madison left a text on his phone saying she would be a littlete so that made him walk up to the balcony to check up on her and saw her talking to that bastard.


    "Then how about I drive you today instead of your ride?"


    Nathan offered and Tinsley thought for a while but then Kian''s words rang in her mind.


    "Thank you, Nathan, for your kind gesture but..."


    She could notplete whatever she was going to say as her husband pulled her to his side.


    "She will be not riding with you, fucking stalker...stay the fuck away from my wife!"


    Kian scolded out, shocking Tinsley and Nathan too at the same time.


    "What the hell are you doing here??"


    Tinsley questioned, getting annoyed by the way he was behaving.


    "And what were you doing with this man, huh??"


    Kian countered back on her. She could not grasp the nerve of this man one bit at the moment.


    What was so to be angry about this situation?? He was just talking to her and offering her a ride, being kind and helpful unlike him who was creating a scene and misunderstanding every whole damn thing.


    "He was just helping me..."


    "Helping you?? All he wants is to get in your pants..."


    Kian spat vehemently and Tinsley raised her eyebrows, not believing her ears that he just blurted such a thing right in front of Nathan.


    "Hey, cool down man!!"


    Nathan said, getting out of his Te. It got Kian''s attention and he moved towards him, holding Nathan by his cors. Tinsley rushed to his side, trying to stop Kian. Everyone on the street was then watching them.


    "Do not fucking tell me to cool down!!!"


    "Kian...let go of him!!"


    Tinsley whispered, trying to pry him off from Nathan. But his hold was strong and bold.


    "And did I not tell you to stay the fuck away from her??"


    Kian questioned, holding his cors tightly, almost choking the man. It itched Nathan''s hand to fight him back but he did not want to lose his impression before Tinsley.


    "You are just being an insecure man...I was just offering her a ride. No big deal!"


    Nathan muttered, smirking. It got into Kian''s nerve right away and within a second timing, a huge punchnded on Nathan''s face, knocking him down on the ground.


    Tinsley screamed, getting afraid at her husband''s rage. Nathan spat out blood and that terrified her more.


    "Big deal will be next time if I see you lurking anywhere near here or her."


    Kian threatened, leaning down to spill his words right onto Nathan''s face. He just chuckled and that annoyed Kian more but before he could react, Tinsley ran to his side, sat down on the ground and held Nathan''s head on herp.


    Kian was taken aback by his wife''s action. She examined Nathan''s face for any further injury.


    "I m so sorry!!! He..."


    Before she could finish, Kian pulled her up and Tinsley protested, trying to break free from his hold.


    "Youe with me.."


    "Not until I know he is alright!"


    She opposed but Kian was not letting her go anywhere near him. Nathan got up on his own and assured Tinsley that he was fine.


    "I m so sorry!!"


    "You are fine...no grudges!"


    Nathan smiled in her direction, getting back on his Te. Kian picked her up, thrashing her body on his shoulder like a sack of potato as if she weighed nothing.


    "Drop me down!!! Fucking drop me down!!"


    "Stop apologising to him!!"


    Kian scolded and made his way back inside the building. Tinsley was so embarrassed. All the people in the street saw it. She had no idea how ever she was going to face them.


    Kian climbed up the stairs and opened the door, dropping her back on her feet and then closing the door behind them.


    "What the fuck was that??"


    Tinsley yelled the moment he turned to face her. She was so fucking furious at him.


    "What the fuck was that?? What the fuck was you going to help him...getting close to him?"


    Kian shouted back, striding towards her. She stood on her ground, not afraid of his rage.


    "How could you do that to him???....to me??"


    She inquired, not being able to let in the situation sink in if what just happened outside. He was behaving like a mad crazy possessed man.


    "I will beat dozens of like him if anyone tries to get closer to you...and will lock you here in chains if you fucking dare get closer to any man..."


    He threatened her, boring his eyes deep into hers. She was getting in his skin at the moment.


    How dare she??? How dare she run to help him?? How fucking she dare!!!


    "You are a fucking psycho!"


    Tinsley muttered, observing him. She knew that the gentle caring side of him was long gone and it was useless to fight with this side of him...trying to inject some sense in him right now was a failing battle.


    "Oh yeah??? Because I came between you and him??"


    He spat, his face so close to hers, his hot breath hitting her face. She turned to leave to the bedroom. She could not stand him at the moment.


    "You are deranged!"

    THANK YOU.

 Chapter 132 - "WELL BE FINE!"

    "You are deranged!"


    He pulled her back, trapping her in between him and the wall, not leaving any space out to escape.


    "Deranged or psycho? You are mine!!! You are fucking stuck to me for life and death....so deal with it!"


    He let each word out very clearly so that it would get entrap in her damn mind. She was only his and only belonged to him.


    "I am no one''s??? Do you get me?? I m no one''s."


    Tinsley murmured, boldly getting over him. He shook his head in denial and stopped her.


    "You are mine whether you like it or not!!"


    "No, I m fucking not!!! I m my own person!"


    "You are mine!!! Say it...say it!"


    Kian pressed, inching his face closer to hers. Their eyes boring into each other. Tinsley was nowhere ready to give up just yet. She could not let him win over her.


    "I won''t...never!!"


    "Fucking say it!!"


    He mmed his right fist onto the wall, right above her head and it scared her but she did not give in.


    "No!!!"


    "You are mine...you say it or not, you like it or not...you love me!"


    With that, he pasted his lips to hers. She protested, trying to push him off her body but he thrashed his body more to her soft body.


    "I hate you...I hate you!!!"


    She uttered out in between the kiss. Kian tore off her shirt from her body, exposing her naked skin.


    "You love me...always have and will always do.."


    Kian asserted, looking up at her. They both were breathing hard from all the fighting, anger, rage and fury for each other.


    "I don''t!!"


    Tinsley was not letting go of it. She denied it, peeking right into his grey pairs, which were getting darker in shades with time.


    She knew what wasing next. She was very aware of that. Her mind screamed at her to push him aside and run away from him...not give into him.


    But she remained static in her ce, right in the position that rendered herpletely under his mercy.


    "Oh, you do!! You very much do!"


    He whispered, going down on her. She was caught off guard. He probed her body up, wrapping her legs around his waist.


    His face disappeared in the crook of her neck, kissing the spot that made her delirious, losing her mind.


    She caught hold of his shoulder, trying hard to contain the moans inside of her mouth.


    He littered kisses all over her exposed neck line, giving a hard squeeze to her boobs. She did not hear when he opened the zipper of his pants or slipping her underwear to the side.


    "Fuck!!"


    She cursed out, feeling him all the way inside of her core in one hard stroke. He looked up at her. She opened her eyes to see him too.


    "You love me!!! You always have and will always do!"


    He spoke out, pulling his manhood out and then mming back inside, knocking her back on the wall.


    "Say it!!...say it...say it, baby!!"


    He softly requested her, going in and out of her. She was holding herself from screaming his name out. It had been so long since he was inside of her.


    "I do...I...ahhh...do...I love you!!"


    She confessed, moaning out, closing her eyes, feeling him all the way inside of her.


    They both cursed out how good it felt. All the anger, the built-up rage was long forgotten and getting lost in each other''s bodies.


    Kian hid his face in the crook of her neck, kissing the area red, licking it. She hugged him close to her body as he kept thrusting his hard rode inside of her without a break.


    He had been dying to feel her, be inside of her, getting close to her. She was his peacend...she calmed him down.


    And in a moment or two, he finally came inside her. She closed her eyes in sce, getting lost in the euphoria.


    Their heavy breathing echoed in the living room as slowly he dropped her down, his hard cock slipped out of her swollen opening, his semen mixed with her liquid leaked out of her.


    They both did not dare to look at each other and Tinsley walked out of there, locking herself in their bedroom.


    He sighed, realizing all that had happened. He regretted most of it...all the parts that involved fighting with her but not the incident outside at all.


    After an hour, Tinsley finally got out of the bedroom. Kian looked up, sitting on the sofa. He was afraid that she was going to stay mad at him for a long time.


    They both stared into each other, not saying a word, silently. She did not know how to start and say it to him.


    Neither did he. He did not know how to apologize for saying all that to her. He was clearly very angry at that moment and spoke things out that of course he never meant any of it.


    He inhaled and apologised.


    "I m sorry!"


    Tinsley did not say anything back but continued to nce at him. She knew that he did not mean any of those...ill words he had yelled in her way.


    But regardless of it all, it did hurt. It hurt to hear thoseing from his mouth.


    "Take this."


    She gave him her locket. He eyed her not knowing what to do with it. She came closer, standing before him, extended the locket back.


    "Sell it. "


    ''What??"


    He stood up, not believing what she just said. She was offering her locket, herst piece of neck jewellery to sell it and pay all those bills with the penalty.


    "It will pay all of our bills with the penalty."


    She said. But Kian declined the offer and gave it back to her. He had not reached that bottom of his existence to sell his wife''s jewels to pay for the bills.


    "Keep it. I do not need it."


    "Then how are you going to pay??"


    Tinsley questioned. She did not know why he was being so hard and dense in matters like these.


    "I will figure out, ok...I m not going to sell my wife''s jewels for it."


    Kian stated. Tinsley only rolled her eyes at him.


    "When are you going to stop being so stubborn??"


    "I m not...ok. It''s your jewellery and you do not have many left at the moment. This is yourst ne. I m not going to sell that."


    Kian defended himself. Tinsley only groaned in annoyance. Since when did he think like that??


    Since when did he take her to be caring more about her jewellery than saving their household??


    "I do not need it..."


    Tinsley said, once again thrashing the locket to his hand. He took it from her around, putting it back on her neck.


    "I do not need it because I have a job that could pay it ok?"


    He announced. He had applied for a few hackingpanies anonymously and one happened to hire him for their job.


    He knew that they could not survive long with no job. So he decided to finally step out. His reputation would not allow him to head out and do a normal job so he decided to do one behind hisptop in his own house.


    But he was still hesitant whether or not to take it up but looking at their condition now, he knew he needed it urgently.


    "What?? When?? Where??"


    Tinsley threw questions at him, turning to face him. She could not believe her ears. When did he apply for a job??


    "It''s been a while...It''s a hacking job. Not illegal before you freak out!"


    He joked, trying to lighten the mood up. She looked at him, trying to understand when did he made up his mind for a job?


    "I m not freaking out...although what about your project??"


    She asked, being concerned about it. She felt somehow responsible for pushing him into it and letting him sacrifice his dreams.


    "It does not require me to work every day or around the clock either. "


    He exined, trying to calm her down. He could see in her that she was not liking the idea of him working at all.


    "Look, Tinsley...I thought I could get back on the market and business right away but could not and now we are running out of resources...we could not forever go on living like this..."


    She sighed. Her worst fear hade true. Him letting go of his dream and trying to settle in for an ordinary life that he never wanted and just for her.


    She felt responsible for all of it and it hurt her that she could not do anything to help him out of it either.


    "Do not worry...I will be fine...we will make this work!"

 Chapter 133 - A SMALL JOB!

    PRECAP


    "Big deal will be next time if I see you lurking anywhere near here or her."


    Kian threatened, leaning down to spill his words right onto Nathan''s face. He just chuckled and that annoyed Kian more but before he could react, Tinsley ran to his side, sat down on the ground and held Nathan''s head on herp.


    Kian was taken aback by his wife''s action. She examined Nathan''s face for any further injury.


    "I m so sorry!!! He..."


    Kian dragged his wife with him, leaving the crowd and Nathan to fend for themselves.


    ________________________________________________


    "Sell it. "


    ''What??"


    He stood up, not believing what she just said. She was offering her locket, herst piece of neck jewellery to sell it and pay all those bills with the penalty.


    "It will pay all of our bills with the penalty."


    "Look, Tinsley...I thought I could get back on the market and business right away but could not and now we are running out of resources...we could not forever go on living like this..."


    ________________________________________________


    "Damn Girl! Why did you not tell me about all these right away?"


    Madison squealed and Tinsley give her a look asking her to calm down. People were starting to give them stares by then in the cafe.


    "Sorry!"


    Madison gave a child like smile,apologizing. Tinsley shook her head, narrowing her eyes at her.


    Ever since she got back with Lana , she was always so excited and happy. It was a good thing but it caught attention of others.


    "Did people video the entire fighting thing? I would so love to watch it."


    Madison proposed. She was aware of Kian''s temper. So it was really not shocking to her that he would react that way in a situation like Tinsley narrated it to her.


    "How will I know if people would do that?? It was not funny ok...it was scary!"


    Tinsley said, looking away. For a time, she was afraid that what if Kian would end up injuring Nathan badly and got arrested by the police??


    It was that reason scared her most. So she ran towards Nathan to help him up and be by his side because then Kian would not be able to hit him anymore.


    "Ohmon! Joy kill! Real life fighting scenes are always so fun to watch."


    Madi concluded, sipping the cappino from her cup. It was a failing attempt to make Madi understand what and how she felt.


    "I...uh...I was afraid that people would call police, you know in case I had not gotten in between him and Nathan...it made me so scared..."


    "Hey...hey stop..."


    Madi mumbled, holding Tinsley''s hand on the table to give herfort.


    "...I have already incurred him so many loses...from making him to leave his career, cutting off ties with his only mother figure...no matter however bad she was to me...she loved him..."


    Tinsley continued and Madi could feel her pain, the anxiety. It were all true. Kian indeed left everything for her and it would be something that Tinsley would never get over that it all happened only because of her.


    "She was no good to him, Tin...she was controlling his life, dictating it...he was never happy like he is with you now...I can guarantee you that."


    Madi let out. She had been involved with the Wilsons for over a decade so she knew how things were between Valeria and Kian.


    "She loved him like her own son..."


    "Then she would have never disowned him the way she did...even snatching away things that he built solely all by himself. "


    Madi stressed. She was there when he worked day and night, not sleeping or caring to eat to take Wilson Oil to the heights it had reached by now.


    His dedication for workpelled Madison to work harder too and it was no wonder why she became the most hardworking personal assistant for the corporate world, every billionaire boss wanting to have an assistant just like her.


    "He sacrificed his dream to help her sustain her husband''s legacy. If not for him, Valeria would be in your ce right now...I could only wish back then I urged him to start up his own firm instead of toiling only over that oil business."


    Madi sighed. From everything that Madi was narrating it was clear of how much she wanted to help Kian back on his position that he always had deserved.


    And it was in that moment, Tinsley felt more bad, realizing he was once again giving up on his dream to support them...support her.


    "And now he is doing it again...leaving it all aside to support the household."


    Tinsley''s eyes watered. Madi looked up at her, not understanding what she was saying.


    "What is he doing ?"


    Madi questioned, narrowing her eyes.


    "He took up a job...hacking one."


    "Why would let him take up one?? Tin??"


    Madi implored. Starting a business venture from scratches was not easy at all. And added to working for other would make him more constraint and dy the time in starting his own firm.


    "I did not let him, ok! He confessed that he took it up when we ran out of money and only told me today after the fight..."


    Madi rolled her eyes at the piece of the information.It annoyed her. She could have helped them. Why did they not ask her?


    "He did say that it did not need him working around the clock when Iined about it..."


    "You could have just asked for help from me?"


    Madi interrupted Tinsley in the mid way. She could have helped them...hell she was there for them for every kind if help they needed. In return, all she wanted was for Kian to think and build.


    "You know...he will not ask help from you."


    "I know! I know that his ego is too big to let him do that but you could...you could have just give me a damn call!"


    Madi sassed, raising her eyebrows at Tinsley. It was that simple. She wanted to state.


    "And what would I have told him??"


    Tinsley implored. Madi knew that one would not be simple.


    "We would have figured that out together!"


    "Yeah...figured out that together?"


    Tinsley rolled her eyes. Madi too looked away. Both sipped on their coffee in silence.


    "Regardless of everything, you should know, Tinsley, I would aways be here to help you guys...its not a big deal...tell Kian that he could pay me all backter with interest..."


    Madi offered. Tinsley shook her head, making Madi look back at her.


    "Its not about helping us...I know, Kian knows that you will be here for us in just one call..."


    "Then what is stopping you both guys?"


    Madi intervened. If they knew that then what was so difficult to give her a call??


    "Its not that but at some point, we both need to own up...work for ourselves without expecting someone to help us in running our own household."


    Tinsley asserted. Madi just gave her a long sign not liking what she just told at all.


    "My only regret, if only if I could help him too...work you know? Contribute to running the house alongside him.."


    Madison nodded, understanding Tinsley. She thought of where or what kind of job would be suitable for Tinsley.


    "Wait...you can bake cakes or stuff like that and sell?"


    Madi let out to which Tinsley started thinking and it made sense. But who would buy from her??


    "If you could really do it then I could look up people to whom you could sell it."


    Madi offered and it made Tinsley hopeful. Maybe she could finally help him...her husband??


    "Or maybe you start baking for me?"


    Both Tinsley and Madi turned around to look at Agatha, the old owner of the Cafe, standing by their table.


    "Forgive me, I was not eavesdropping at all...I just happened to serve the next table and heard about baking. My baker just left for another job this morning."


    The old woman, stepped in, seating between Tinsley and Madi, dragging a chair from another table to their table.


    "So if you would like, bake for me??? Your husband won''t mind either I know working here at all."


    The offer seemed tempting and Tinsley nced at Madison for her opinion to which Madi only closed her eyes, indicating to take it, ept the offer.


    "I will take it, Agatha!"


    Tinsley answered, making the old woman happy. It was delightful news for both the party.


    "Excellent! I will go get coffee for you girls for another round to talk about sry and stuff."


    The old woman squealed and stood up, going away to get them coffee. Madison and Tinsley chuckled at that how joyous the old woman seemed.


    "Look who got a job just now!"


    Madi eximed. Tinsley smiled. She had never thought that in her life she would ever work but here she was...hired. Even though it was a small job...it was a starting!

    "So if you would like, bake for me??? Your husband won''t mind either I know working here at all."


    The offer seemed tempting and Tinsley nced at Madison for her opinion to which Madi only closed her eyes, indicating to take it, ept the offer.

    ________________________________________________


    After a lot of chit chat in the cafe with Madison and Agatha, Tinsley returned back home.


    They talked about so many things including the baking, Tinsley''s sry and all about that. She settled for a small amount not wanting to distress the loving old woman.


    It was a nice evening conversing with these lovely people. She was in a pretty good mood as she made her way back to home.


    She opened the door and saw her husband working on theptop sitting in his usual ce on the sofa.


    She closed the door behind and stood near the hanger to take off her coat. She felt his eyes over her. She smiled at him and then took off the coat, revealing the deep cut dress she was wearing, so fitting to her curvaceous body.


    She walked up to him and sat beside him. He sighed and she frowned. He was acting exceptionally quiet and it was rming.


    She just hoped that he had forgiven her about the whole argument thing and was not holding back onto with by giving her a silent treatment.


    "What is up with you?"


    She asked, resting her head on his shoulder. He put his right hand on her exposed thighs. She scooted more closer to his body, loving his warm touch. She had missed him.


    He did not answer right away. He had been thinking all day long about their situation and the more he did, the more he felt that the chances of him overturning their circumstances back to how they used to be were going to get incredibly lower as the market kept changing every day.


    He did not know how to exin that to her. Or tell her that he needed more time to prepare when he kept saying that it would be over soon...this life of poverty.


    And he was seeing that they might need to cop up with this life for a while before anything would get better or what if not?


    He was starting to have doubts...doubts about himself, his potential and it was frustrating and the fear to lose her kept looming over him constantly.


    It was the fact that he could not get over the talk he and Nathan had in the pub, a month ago.


    How Tinsley would leave him once she realized that he had nothing to offer her more than this life of poor?


    And what had happened today or what had been happening since the miscarriages, he was not giving her any good reasons to stay by his side at all.


    "Hey?? What is wrong?"


    She implored, raising her head up to examine his face. He looked tired.


    "Nothing! ...nothing to be particr."


    Kian answered and Tinsley did not seem to believe any of it. She could see right through him that something was up.


    "You know that I m your wife??"


    "Of course! And I have been not fucking you a lot to make you never forget that."


    He joked, trying to divert the topic. He always felt lucky to be her husband. She was just a unique beauty and all his and also afraid to lose her to anyone.


    "Kian!!! If I m your wife, you feel that you will tell me honestly about what is going on?"


    Tinsley pressed, raising her eyebrows. She was not that naive anymore to get fool by his witty remarks and forget the topic entirely.


    "Fine!!"


    Kian sighed, leaning down and resting his head on her chest. She immediately wrapped her hands around him, drawing his body close to hers.


    "Your tits are so soft!"


    Heplimented, pressing his face more onto her exposed cleavage. She lightly hit him on his bicep and he chuckled.


    "I was thinking about our future."


    He started, very awkwardly. He was not used to stating or describing his thoughts to others.


    "When I said that this life...the one with limited sources and everything will be over in a blink or willst only for a limited time being...but now I think it won''t be like that. "


    Tinsley silently listened to what he had to say. She very soothingly ran her fingers over his ck locks.


    "I might not be able to get back on the business or the position I used to acquire so soon...it could go on for more than just a month, Tinsley and I do not know how topensate you...I know I promised you this is temporary and it is..."


    He raised his head up a little to see her face. She looked down at him. She knew and understood what he was trying to exin to her.


    "When did husband startpensating his wife to be with him?"


    She questioned him and it made him chuckled. She bowed down to drop sweet short kisses on his lips. He closed his eyes, feeling her soft petal-like lips over his.


    "And you keep forgetting I don''t mind if this is our forever...if it''s with you!"


    She confessed, smiling at him. Her words were the agent of calming him down.


    "I love you."


    "I know!"


    He said, getting back on resting his head on her chest. She kissed his forehead.


    "Sometimes...I just feel like Valeria is right, you know. About that everything I built or made over the past fifteen years and was sessful only because she handed it to me...it feels true these days. "


    It broke her heart to see him doubting about himself, his potential, his abilities. She hugged him more closely to her.


    "And maybe that is why it''s taking me so much time to get back on where I used to be because no one is offering me anything to mould it back to the top...


    Or maybe I m just good at moulding things that are handed to me?"


    Hepleted, letting his heart out to her. She understood where his anxieties wereing from and she wished she could help him see that he was more...so much more than he was ignoring about himself.


    "You are so much more than you think of yourself...you are the kind of man who doesn''t give yourself enough credit for your doings, Kian and it makes you so perfect in my eyes..."


    Tinsley stated. He looked up at her and leaned back on, not feeling it in himself. He knew that she was just trying to cheer him up.


    "Well not in everyone''s eyes..."


    He softly muttered under his breathe. Tinsley heard that and it irked her a little to know that it was not enough for him that he was perfect in her eyes but wanted more...from everyone.


    "Just me isn''t enough for you?"


    She intervened and he immediately got up and saw how herplexion changed a little.


    "I did not mean it like that...I just...I m used to be seen as the one perfect one for everyone you know?"


    He extended trying to cool her down. He had no intention of offending her at all. For some reason, she was in a good mood and so opening to him after a month and he did not want her to go back to what it was like in that month.


    She peeked at him for a minute or so and then pulled him closer to her, holding onto his shirt cor. Their lips were almost touching.


    "You are only for me, you understand that?? Not for everyone or anyone?"


    Tinsley sassed and he was so turned on by her possessiveness that he wanted to take her right at that moment, on the sofa.


    He swiftly nodded her head right away. Not wanting to upset her majesty. His eyes were fixed on her lips and both were breathing hard.


    "You are mine!"


    She pulled him more onto her. And it was getting too heated in the room. The heatwaves were freaking out both of them.


    Kian was about to m his lips onto hers but she tilted to sideways. He groaned, not liking it one bit.


    "First say you are mine!"


    She demanded and he waited for a few seconds if she was really serious about it and when she did not budge, he gave in immediately.


    "Yes! Yes! I m yours and fuck you are mine!"


    He dered, pushing her back on the sofa, getting on top of her. He slouched her dress up and parted her panty to the other side, getting himself inside her.


    She moaned out at the sudden intrusion. He started to ram in and out of her in urgency.

 Chapter 135 - I..I HAVE A JOB!

    PRECAP


    "Sometimes...I just feel like Valeria is right, you know. About that everything I built or made over the past fifteen years and was sessful only because she handed it to me...it feels true these days. "


    It broke her heart to see him doubting himself, his potential, his abilities.


    "And maybe that is why it''s taking me so much time to get back on where I used to be because no one is offering me anything to mould it back to the top..."


    Hepleted, letting his heart out to her.


    "You are so much more than you think of yourself...you are the kind of man who doesn''t give yourself enough credit for your doings, Kian and it makes you so perfect in my eyes..."


    Tinsley stated.


    ________________________________________________


    Kian was furiously going in and out of his wife''s glory hole.


    Tinsley was a moaning mess underneath his mercy. He tore open her dress, exposing her breasts. They bounced back.


    She hissed at the sensation. It hurt a bit but nothing that she could not bear. He immediately had his hand over her breasts.


    "I like your tits so damn much...so soft and beautiful!"


    He let out, squeezing them, eye them with admiration as he thrust his hip continually.


    Tinsley could not take any more of these and pulled his head back on her chest. She needed his mouth over them.


    He understood her needs and licked her right nipple while pulling the other one with his forefinger and thumb. She closed her eyes, loving everything that he was doing to her.


    "Fuck!!! More...I need more!!"


    Tinsley yelled, pulling on his hair. He dived in more, sucking her nipples repeatedly and speeding up his pace more.


    "Fuck me, please!!! Harder!!!"


    Kian was a bit taken aback by how demanding she was being tonight and he was not minding it at all as he abided by hermands.


    He pped her breast harshly and she moaned out loud in pain and pleasure. He could see that she was liking the rough treatment he was giving her.


    "Is this what you want??"


    He asked,nding under p on her sore breasts, reddening the white skin over it as he leaned down to take the red nipples back in his wet mouth.


    "Is this what you want?? Answer me!!!"


    Hemanded, biting on her nipple and she screamed out his name painfully but did not want him to stop.


    Kian did not quit and continued sucking on her nipples. She squirmed under him.


    "Answer me?"


    He harshly pped her breasts and she yelled out his name in a big yes! His movements became urgent and within a minute or so, they both exploded into each other.


    They both inhaled and exhaled in contentment and pure bliss. He rested his head on her beating chest.


    ________________________________________________


    As the night fell in, they both had dinner and headed inside their bedroom.


    Kian went to the bathroom to change and Tinsley got up on the bed and under the duvet.


    She waited for him to get on too. He swiftly went out of the bathroom and winked at her, walking up to her side of the bed.


    "You look pretty!"


    He said and got on top of hers. Tinsley giggled, trying to get his body off of her. He yfully showered her neck and face with wet kisses.


    "Stop!! It tickles!!"


    She said, tilting her face too and fro. It only instigated him to do more, nonstop. After a while, she pried his body off of her and he rested on the other side.


    She immediately raised up a little to ce her head on his beating chest, he wrapped his arms around her small soft body.


    They remained silent, resting on each other''s embrace. The silence was soothing and peaceful.


    Kian felt the heavy load from his heart be lifted off after confessing the truth to her about how he felt.


    He was grateful toe clean with her although somewhere in his heart, he always knew that she would have reacted the way she did but the voices in his head would always tell him otherwise.


    For a man, who had been working and following his conscience, thinking through his head and not the heart, it was hard to alter the entire scene and all of a sudden listen to what his heart had to say.


    Tinsley sighed in content in his arms. She recalled the events of the day and how they ended with lying peacefully in his arms.


    It was what it mattered. However much they would fight or have iing fights in the future, it would all be alright if it ended with them being in each other embrace.


    "So what did you guys talk about??"


    Kian asked, massaging her scalp. She opened her mouth to speak, closing her eyes, liking his touch.


    "Madi wanted to see a video of knocking Nathan down...usual you know."


    Kian chuckled at that. Somewhere he felt proud for doing that, for imposing out a clear message to everyone out there in the town that Tinsley was his and only his alone.


    "You both are so alike...I feel like the odd one out!"


    Tinsley muttered. Madi and Kian were both confident, brave, courageous, not afraid to go for what they wanted unlike her who was a scaredy-cat, who would chicken out in the smallest of matters.


    "No, we are not."


    Kian said, shaking his head in a no. Tinsley only groaned saying that they were.


    "I m not gay so there we are not alike!"


    Kian replied, making Tinsley giggle and in no time, she found his hands snaked under the duvet, tracing her exposed abdomen and finally resting on her inner thighs.


    She squirmed, looking into his yful eyes. He squeezed her thighs. She moved out, liking it.


    "Tell me more about your day..."


    Kian pressed, going further inside her thighs. She held onto his biceps, biting on her lips, trying hard not to yelp out.


    "We talked about how hard you work."


    She started, absentmindedly. She was too distracted at the moment to have a good sensible conversation.


    "I guess I have not been working hard since the past month."


    Kian smirked. She gave him that look who begged him to get on it with already. All the y was making her restless.


    After keeping each other''s hands to themselves for a month, they were thirsty and hungry for each other for so long and craved for it ever since he took her by the door in the morning.


    "Go on..."


    Kian started rubbing her wet cunt through her flimsy underwear. She rolled her hips up, wanting more of him.


    "She...she was angry that..we did not ask for her help."


    "Mhhhmm..."


    Kian hummed, still rubbing her soaked pussy over her panty. It was all wet. She spread her thighs apart giving him a clear pathway.


    "We drank coffee...fuck!!"


    She cursed out when she felt his forefinger rubbing her clit furiously. She wanted so bad to push his fingers inside her tight hole and stretch her till it was unbearable to hold it in.


    Kian littered her neck with kisses as he worked his fingers on her cunt. She was squirming and moving not being able to stay still at all.


    "What next??"


    Kian implored. His voice getting hoarse and rough from everything they were engaging into.


    Tinsley wanted him so bad...so bad that it started to hurt down there but she too knew that patience and waiting for it would give her the most mind-boggling orgasm.


    Even though it was hard, so difficult to not just get up on him and ride his cock until she felt him fill her insides all up, she stayed on her position, holding tightly onto his bicep, biting on her lips.


    On not getting any answer, Kian stopped doing everything and Tinsley cried out in protest, not liking it at all.


    He loved seeing her so hyped up to the point begging for his touch, getting restless and mad crazy.


    Her eyes would scream out for him to go on and not stop, her nose would get red and so would her entire face. Sweat beads would dance on her temple. She would bite her lips so hard that blood mighte out of them.


    She looked so exotic then...ethereal to his eyes. Tinsley tried to pull his hands back to where they belonged but Kian did not oblige.


    "Keep talking if you want it, baby."


    Tinsley wailed for not liking it at all. How could he ask her to converse in times like these??


    She wanted to take matters into her hands but he pressed his body on hers, caging her up.


    "You talk, I fuck you only then!"


    "Please!!"


    Tinsley started to plead, not having any word in her damn mind but that. It only echoed to plead to him.


    "I...I have a job!!"


    She finally did it and expected him to get on with it but all the movements stopped all of a sudden.

 Chapter 136 - "IF YOURE HAPPY, YOULL LEAVE IT!"

    "You talk, I fuck you only then!"


    "Please!!"


    Tinsley started to plead, not having any word in her damn mind but that. It only echoed to plead to him.


    "I...I have a job!!"


    She finally did it and expected him to get on with it but all the movements stopped all of a sudden.


    She opened her eyes up to find Kian strangely watching over her. She got up and he did too.


    "What happened??"


    She asked, not knowing why did he stop? He turned to look at her and questioned.


    "You have a what now??"


    Tinsley gave him a weird look, not getting what he was asking of her.


    "You said...you have a job??"


    To that Tinsley simply nodded. She realized that it hadpletely slipped off of her mind to inform him about that and she of course did not mean him to tell him in a situation like this.


    "Yes!!! About that, I really forgot to tell you...things kept happening in between us and it totally sailed through my mind to tell you about it..."


    Tinsley kept on talking but everything went past Kian''s head. All he heard was she had a job and she did not even care to inform him about it.


    "When and where??"


    He interviewed. She could see that he was not liking it. His tone and posture told everything that he was disliking the news.


    "To bake at the cafe. Agatha offered me. Her baker resigned for another job so..."


    "And you took it??"


    Kian interrupted her in the midway. She gave him the weird look, not understanding the sudden outburst from his side.


    "Yes?? But what is the problem??"


    She implored and Kian just shook his head in negative. She watched him, waiting for him to say anything.


    "You are not happy with what we have??"


    He intervened. She did not understand him at first. What did he want to imply by asking her that kind of question?


    "Of course...I m happy. I m more than happy with what we have..."


    She answered, being honest to him. He shook his head as if not believing her words.


    "Why?? You do not believe me??"


    She implored and he just chuckled at her.


    "If you were happy with whatever little we have, you would not go around looking out for the job now would you??"


    Kian mocked her with it and she finally got what he meant by his previous interrogation.


    "It''s not about that. It''s not how you are thinking it to be. I m happy...more than happy with what we have. But all I want is to help you too in running the household. That''s all...that is why I looked up for a job...not because I m not happy?"


    Tinsley exined it to him but she could see that he was not buying her honest opinion at all.


    "I never asked for your help?? Did I ever ask for your help?? Or showed you that I m incapable of providing for us???"


    "It''s not about you asking for help or doubting your ability to provide for us, Kian...you are not understanding!!!"


    Tinsley let out. She was getting annoyed with the way he was reaching at the moment. Somewhere in her heart, she had thought that he would be happy for her...delighted by the news of her first job.


    "So you will not do it...I m doing just fine for both of us. You will decline the offer tomorrow to Agatha."


    He dered, not caring about how she felt or no. All he could think was how low it would look for his wife to be working in a bakery job??


    The cafe was a visiting ce for many people and if anyone came to see her working there, he would be aughing stock in no time.


    Not to mention that Anderson, son of a bitch would get another chance to take him down. And he was not going to let that happen no matter however hard had would have to work.


    "And why do you think I should agree with you??"


    Tinsley protested. She was very excited about this job. It was her first job and thought that her husband would be supportive about it but instead, he was asking her to leave it.


    "Listen, Tinsley, after everything, we were finally having a nice evening and I do not want to ruin it. Leave the job because I can provide just fine for the both of us."


    Kian borated, wanting Tinsley to abide by him. He did not want to fight about it with her.


    "I do not want to ruin the mood either but Kian...this is my first job...I thought you would be happy for me??"


    "I m tired for the night, we are over this discussion. You will leave this job, Tinsley.


    In future, you will get many chances but I can''t allow you to work in a cafe. "


    He concluded, leaving no space for her to argue. She still did not want to give up just yet. What was so wrong with working in a cafe??


    "Why working in the cafe is a problem?? No job is small or big, Kian...this is the twenty-first century!"


    "It''s not about small or big...if I can provide for the both of us and you say you are happy with what we have or I m offering you, you will not furtherin about this matter anymore. "


    Tinsley was about to open her mouth to protest but he stopped her right away.


    "Or you just keep lying that you are happy with whatever we have."


    That was all he said before turning to the other side and slept, switching the lights off leaving Tinsley all alone by herself, awake.


    She could notprehend what had just happened.One time, she was moaning and squirming under her husband''s chest and the next she was awake all by herself, her husband turned his back on her.


    She wanted to protest further and keep going on till he epted and agreed to her working in the cafe.


    She wanted to shake him awake and tell him that she was not going to say no to Agatha. The old woman was so happy and expecting of her to start working in the next morning.


    She very sadlyid on her back, facing the other side of the wall and thought of what to do and what to not do.


    The way Kian reacted was not gullible to her. She felt like something was up...as if he did not want her to work because of how the people would think about it??


    In the midst of it all, her cell phone vibrated. She picked it up from the nightstand beside her and swiped the lock open.


    It was a text from Madison. She clicked on it. It was wishing her luck for her work tomorrow.


    She replied back that Kian did not want her to work anymore and waited for Madison to reply.


    She watched the white ceiling, holding the phone close to her chest. After a while, it vibrated again. She raised it up to her face quickly to check the text.


    Madison asked why and what was the problem?


    Tinsley simply typed in everything that had happened just a while ago how he thought about the job and how she was not happy with their life hence was looking out for a job to have more.


    Madison replied immediately about how much of a hypocrites was being. Tinsley agreed.


    Madison suggested her to hide it from him. Join the work but not say Kian about it anymore.


    Even though at first she was sceptical about it butter on agreed to Madi as all Tinsley needed to do was get the cakes baked and delivered to the cafe.


    She could do that by working from home too. When she would go out to hand out with Madison, Madi offered to deliver it to Agatha''s cafe.


    Tinsley''s face drew in for a smile as they finally figuring out how to keep working not making either her or Kian unhappy about the situation.


    She thanked Madison and shut the phone up, keeping it on the nightstand, turning on her side to fall asleep.


    Sometimester, a hand snaked around her waist and she felt his body get close to hers.


    He pulled her closer and rested his face in the crook of her neck. He mumbled a faint sorry to which she did not reply.


    His hand slid up to squeeze her breasts and parted her thighs through his knees underneath the duvet.


    Her breathing began ragged. As much as she wanted to deny him but she wanted him too so when he mmed his hard cock inside her swollen wet opening, she moaned out in satisfaction.


    He kissed her neck, continuing to fuck her from the side and kept apologising to her till she gave up and forgave him.

    Kian''s body was atop of hers as he mmed his manhood in and out of her opening, in between her spread thighs.


    Their eyes were transfixed into each other as they danced together in the lovemaking session.


    Tinsley bit her lips trying to control her moans. She had been moaning, yelling his name out, crying out her orgasm since three in the morning.


    Ever since he woke her up, they had been going on it nonstop with only a few minutes break in between.


    She was exhausted. Her core was aching and burning from all the friction but still, whenever he would get on top of her and rub his dick over her wet cunt, she just wanted to feel him inside her just like that.


    She held on to his biceps as he rocked her world in and out, in and out. At one point, she did not even feel her legs anymore.


    He bent down to kiss her neck. They were covered with his bite marks till her chest.


    Her nipples were sore from all the amount of sucking, licking, pinching and biting he had been doing since three am in the morning.


    His movements became urgent once again and she could feel him getting close. She encouraged him by moving her hips in his direction.


    He groaned out and came deep inside her, feeling her up to the brim once again. She closed her eyes in sce as he rested his head on her beating chest, tired.


    "Fuck!!! That was intense."


    He said. She ran her fingers over his head as he continued to rest on her heavy chest. She liked having his body weight over her. It was so intimate. Although Kian would make sure not to put too much weight upon her fragile body.


    "I love to sleep on your tits."


    He mumbles. She smiled, her eyes trained on his face as he let those words out.


    "You just love my breasts more!"


    Tinsleymented, yfully. It was true though he would not leave one chance to not find his way to her breasts.


    No wonder why it always felt so sore underneath her clothing or bra because of all the sucking he would do.


    "Of course, I do! I love these...my lifeline!!"


    He remarked and put one nipple inside his hot mouth, wetting it with his saliva. She giggled and pped his back yfully.


    "You are such a baby!"


    She said. He continued to suck her nipple, being very attentive.


    "Oh yeah?? Of course, I m your baby! And babies love tits!"


    He murmured, chewing on her nipple. Tinsley hissed in pain but did not stop him.


    "Breasts are for babies, not for a grown adult man like you."


    "Nope!! Before babies, tits are for men...a wife''s boobs belongs to her husband always."


    Tinsley shook her head, not being able toprehend this man. He was such a child sometimes.


    "And once our child is born, these will be filled with your sweet milk..."


    Kian uttered, squeezing both her breasts and eyeing them with so much lust that Tinsley felt that familiar throbbing sensation in her core once again.


    "I will join with our child too to drink milk...your milk."


    Kian grumbled, his eyes getting darker as the second passed. He pinched both her nipples and Tinsley moaned, liking it.


    Lately, she had been liking the rough touch. It turned her on so much whenever he would just roughly take her without thinking about her. It was strange but she liked it so much.


    "Can''t wait for it...seriously!! Can''t wait for the day you are big with carrying our child, your tits filled with milk...damn heaven will be in my arms."


    He went on, narrating his dark desires about her and Tinsley felt her core leaking out once more.


    "I will suck your tits all day and night, baby!!! So hard and rough that you will startining about it but I won''t stop...I swear I won''t stop..."


    Kian let out and pulled her nipples in between his thumb and forefinger. She whimpered from the pain and rubbed her naked core on his hard member, growing harder the next second.


    He wrapped his mouth around one redbud and began sucking on it like a mad jungle man.


    Tinsley wrapped her legs around his waist and in no time, he thrust his hard pole deep inside of her in one hard stroke, making her scream out his name.


    This was God knows what many rounds...they had lost count of it long ago.


    Kian scrabbed the skin of her nipple with his teeth and Tinsley raised her chest up, wanting more of what he was doing.


    He bit hard on her nipple, making her yelp out. He did not stop there and pulled her nipple in between his teeth, making eye contact with her.


    Her face felt so hot, her body was on fire as he did that. The pain was excruciating but she wanted it more...more of what he was doing.


    Her pussy clenched over him as he groaned, leaving her nipple in a pop sound. They were too erect and longer, pointier than before.


    She came all around him in no time but Kian was nowhere close to ending. He had his eyes on the other nipple and went for it.


    "You like it??? Don''t you?? You like when I bite your nipples...say it...you like it!!"


    He asked as he blew hot air over the other one. She was a moaning mess by then. All she wanted was his lips around her nipples, sucking them harder and harder till they felt numb.


    "Fuck!!! I do...I do...please!!"


    She cried out as his movements in and out of her became painfully slower. She wanted him to take her hard and fast.


    "Please, what baby girl??"


    He teased her, pulling his cock out from her wet hole, crawling up her body and started rubbing his tip on her hard nipples.


    The sight was so erotic to Tinsley, that she nearly lost it but held herself together.


    "You don''t get it if you don''t say what you want me to do."


    He demanded. He felt proud of the kind of power he had over her soul and body. He had fucked her so many times that by now he knew exactly which string to pull and get her leaking on like an fn water faucet.


    "I want...want you to fuck me..."


    Tiny started, licking her lips. Although a few words came out incoherent, he could understand her.


    "And??"


    He resumed, rubbing his dick over her nipples. She joined them together as he slid his dick in and out of her breasts in between.


    "Fuck!!! "


    She curses out as he furiously began to slide his dick in and out, and pinching hard nipples at the same time hardly.


    "Harder...please harder!!"


    She begged him and it was impressive for Kian. He always loved rough sex more than soft ones and now that his wife was beginning to like it rough, it delighted him so much that he could now take her the way he always had wanted.


    He immediately slid back down and rammed inside her core. She screamed out his name as he rammed in and out of her at an inhuman speed.


    "p them...y with them..."


    Tinsley cried out, holding her breasts together. Kian smirked andnded a few hard ps over them. He pitched her nipples harder than before that it made her eyes tear up.


    He immediately stopped but she urged him to go on. He was liking this side if her...being vocal about what she wanted and how she wanted it.


    It showed the growth of their rtionship. She was no more afraid or shy to ask him what she wanted or liked.


    He bent down to suck her nipples and he went on to fuck her harder and faster than the next second. His ball sacks hitting over her anus every time, the sound of skin pping echoing in the bedroom.


    She hugged his head tighter to her breasts that it almost made him ufortable but he did notin at all.


    "I will ruin you, baby!! I will destroy this sweet hungry pussy of yours!!"


    He groaned out. She became wetter when he dirty talked.


    "Can''t wait for these jugs to be filled with milk...it...it will be soon as I put a baby inside you again.!!"


    He dered, shooting ropes of white thick semen inside of her cursing out, drained.

 Chapter 138 - "MAYBE VALERIA WAS RIGHT??"

    After a warm refreshing shower, Tinsley was the first to get out of the bathroom before her obsessed husband would start fucking her again.


    She basically ran out, clutching the towel harder against her chest and stood in front of the closet to get her clothes out.


    Kian came outter, stark naked and Tinsley shook her head in dismissal. She was drying her hair, standing before the full body mirror.


    Kian stood behind her, and wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her body closer to his, resting his head on her shoulder.


    She blushed when she fell the erection poking her butt from behind. This insatiable man!!


    "You are so goddamn beautiful!"


    He said, staring at her reflection. She gave him a sweet smile, leaning on his body more.


    He inhaled her feminine scent, rubbing his nose on her exposed neck. One of his hands slowly slipped down, disappearing up her skirt.


    Tinsley knew exactly where this would lead if not stopped right away so she pped his hand away, yfully and he feigned being hurt expression. She chuckled.


    "You are so restless!"


    Tinsleyined and he narrowed his eyes at her. They both were talking to each other, looking at the mirror.


    "I m just practising for the baby-making!"


    He defended himself. And just like that Tinsley''s smile faltered slowly from her face. He did not notice that as he was hiding his face in the crook of her neck.


    "God!!! You will look so exotic being pregnant...chubby and cute!"


    He went on and raised his head up to look at her. It was then he saw it...saw how the colours on her face had drained away.


    "Is something wrong??"


    He asked, getting concerned. She parted her gazes from his eyes and took a deep breath.


    A baby?? She was not sure to have one...at least not at the moment.


    And in no time, Kian guessed it. She unwrapped his hands from around herself and walked away from his side.


    He let her go and wrapped the towel around him and strode towards her, taking a seat beside her on their bed.


    She did not say him anything and continued to stare at herp, downward. He did not know how to address her?


    "So...you are not ready to be pregnant?"


    His question did not take her off guard as she was expecting him to ask her that anytime now and she wanted to scream yes to him but did not mean to offend him at the same time.


    He was aware of the fact that she had a bad experience before and it had been a month since, so he did not see why not try for it again.


    "You know how thest one ended right?"


    She dropped another question at him. He sighed and held her hands in his.


    "I know and I m sorry for us...for you but we can''t just hold back being afraid of that for the rest of our life, right??"


    He asserted. She understood him. She did exactly what he meant but she was just not ready at the moment and did not know how to spell it that put to him without making him start thinking it otherwise.


    "About that...and our condition at present is not perfect either for a baby at least...we are barely surviving, Kian..."


    He raised his eyebrow at her on thest part. And she knew that it was over...he had taken a different meaning, totally out of context and it would end up with them arguing just like every other time.


    "What do you mean barely surviving??


    I even took up a job for us, Tinsley??"


    Kian questioned, not being able to believe her words. He was never ready to work under someone but he did it...for them...for her.


    She opened her mouth to say something but then shut it up, not actually knowing what she wanted to know.


    "Is this because what we have is not enough?? Of course, it is!!"


    Kian answered to his own question and got up. Tinsley looked at him, frowning.


    "What was I thinking to start a family with an heiress when I m not living in a pce right??"


    "Where is thising from??"


    Tinsley stood up, astonished at his usation. He would always turn the other way whenever things would not go the way he wanted.


    "You do not have to say anything, anymore...I got you. Hell! I will not be surprised the next day if you file for a fucking divorce!!"


    He carried on with his rantings and Tinsley was beyond shocked by the way he was reacting.


    "Why are you, even so, forcing about this baby thing??? You never wanted one in the first ce...remember at our wedding night, you forced me to take the birth controls, you dered that you never wanted children!!"


    Tinsley argued back. Kian fixed his eyes on hers, listening to her side, trying to frame herself as the victim as always.


    "Oh, so you are punishing me for that??"


    He implored. Tinsley shook her head no right away. What was she five to do such a thing??


    "Of course not!!"


    "We were strangers back then, married right away ok?? I did not know what the future held for us...how we will be together. But after everything, after I poured my real self out to you...you still have doubts about my intentions for us??"


    Kian interviewed. Tinsley closed her eyes, breathing in and out and spoke up again.


    "Kian, I have no doubts about us...your intentions for our rtionship...our marriage. "


    She started. He waited for her to finish impatiently.


    "Can''t I just say that I m not ready to be a mother right now?? "


    There...she finally let it out and he did not say a word. Silence enveloped the surroundings but could not prate their heads and suppressed the voices inside of them.


    "I was never ready...not that time...not today. But I epted it back then because you were being so hopeful and I did not want to ruin it..."


    Tears spurted out of her eyes as she resumed her exnation. Kian stood firm, not moving or saying anything, just observing her.


    "You have no idea how traumatic everything was for me right after I found out that I miscarried...my anxieties from childhood...I felt like they were back once again and I m so thankful for you, for Madison, Lana, Anna Maria...for being there for me...helping me ovee all of it..."


    Tinsley narrated how she felt like. The entire experience was a nightmare for her.


    The loss had left an empty void in her heart and it would never suffice with the happiness of being pregnant again...for she had lost what could be her first child, it was her unwanted reality.


    She rubbed her tears away and continued on.


    "But...to say it I m not ready...not now or two months from now...I m just not ready to be pregnant again and it''s not only because of me...my broken self but also for the kind of phrase we are in right now, bringing a child would not be easy and you will say we will see it but being a parent is not easy, Kian...it requires so much more...I m sorry!"


    She cried out. Kian looked down, not liking how the circumstance was turning out to be.


    "Would you have been ready if everything was fine??"


    He asked, after a moment of silence. She looked up at him, not understanding him at first. What he meant by everything??


    "Yes...I would be then!"


    She nodded her head in approval regardless. She did not want him to think that she did not ever want a baby.


    Her answer confirmed every kind of doubt he had and just chuckled as if he was hurt and turned around to walk away.


    Tinsley noticed it and held onto his hand right away, stopping him from turning his back on her.


    "What did you mean by everything??"


    It was the question she should have asked first before answering it to him, peeking her eyes into his.


    "That if I were to build back our life back to how it was...you would agree to raise a child with me but not when I can''t offer you nothing but poverty..."


    He let out and waited for her to deny it right away. It got her contemting his words and check if it were true but it was not.


    She did not mind having his child even when he could not pamper her in a castle. What she meant was their situation right now...when they were still figuring out their present...


    After waiting for her denial, Kian smiled at her sadly. He was correct. Her fear, her anxiety was of him not being able to provide for their child. And it hurt him...his man ego.


    "You do not have to say anything, anymore...I get it!"


    He said, snatching his hand out from her hold and turning to walk away. Before she could say something to stop him, he tilted his head back to say onest thing.


    "Maybe...maybe Valeria was right about you?? "

    Why are you, even so, forcing about this baby thing??? You never wanted one in the first ce...remember at our wedding night, you forced me to take the birth controls, you dered that you never wanted children!!"

    Kian interviewed. Tinsley closed her eyes, breathing in and out, not finding enough words in her mouth.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison and Tinsley sipped on their coffee in silence.


    Tinsley had narrated her the entire scenario to Madison without leaving one point missed out.


    Even Madison could not understand from where and how and when did he be so kid tolerant??


    Maybe people change?? Or maybe he really could not wait to start a family life with Tinsley?? Who knew maybe he was being genuine about his feelings??


    Tinsley waited for Madison to say something. She had not spoken ever since she started to recite everything to her.


    At least she finally delivered the freshly baked cupcakes to the cafe without any hassle with Madi''s help.


    She had baked them in the night and took them out the moment, Kian was in the bathroom taking his morning shower.


    So they were not caught and Madi had been helping her do it uncut for three days straight.


    Even though her work was going just fine, people in the cafe were liking her cakes and Agatha was impressed too, Tinsley did not feel that happiness...the ultimate one only because she was doing it all by keeping her husband in dark, the very person who liberated her to see a day like this.


    More so, he had not been talking to her anymore. They were not in talking terms nor would he touch her or look in her way.


    And it was getting disturbing for Tinsley as she was so used to being with him, feeling him. And it hurt her how he had started to be so silent around her.


    She missed their talks about their day, the cup of tea, they would drink together sitting on the balcony. Now there was no more of that.


    Gone was his yfulpliments about how beautiful she looked her, or how much he wanted to be freaky with her.


    So not being able to keep all of it to herself, Tinsley broke everything out to Madi.


    "Well, at least he had been working more than fucking around with you?"


    It was the first remark Madi made about the situation. And Tinsley could notprehend if that was supposed to mean good or bad about their rtionship??


    "That is something good, right??"


    Madi questioned, not being able to know what more to say or not.


    She was holding herself back a little from making anyment regarding this whole baby thing.


    She had done that the first time and when Tinsley dered that she had lost it, God only knew how much disturbed, Madi was thinking that it could be because of her.


    And she did not want to go through that feeling again. Lana had asked her to not be so straightforward.


    "What are you even saying??"


    Tinsley implored, raising her eyebrows. Madi kept the cup down on the table and gave up on her facade of trying to hold back.


    "Look, I have no idea what to say in this matter...its a couple thing, decide among yourselves. "


    Madi said, being honest. Tinsley could not believe her ears that she was listening to such a thing from Madi''s mouth.


    "Maybe, try to go out...bring the mood to him. Obviously, you are craving for sex!!"


    Tinsley narrowed her eyes at Madi. How could she say such a thing so loud in a public ce like this??


    Madi had no idea either what she was saying or speaking out. Her mind had not been working quite good ever since the g party she attended with Lana and had to meet John there.


    She could not get the kiss they had shared in his Mercedes out of her damn head that she zoned out of the asion so many fucking times even Lana thought she was drunk or high.


    He would always look in her way and she felt it...felt his hot gazes all over her. It was a disturbing situation because the entire night, all she wanted was to run up in his direction and jump up on his bones.


    When she was dating his sister, she should not be having such kind of dirty thoughts about her brother right??


    Well, guess, Madison was too busy fighting out her fucked up situation to try to solve Tinsley''s mess!!


    She had been ming it upon her dormant sex life with men. Maybe she was missing sex with men?? That was all about it or what if not??


    These kinds of questions had been eating up Madi''s head and she could not even discuss it with anyone without making them freak out or making them think she was over Lana and was opting to cheat.


    "Just go out. Try to talk, you initiate if not him... the same thing...man can not resist boobs and pussy at all..."


    Madi blurted out and got ready to head out. It made Tinsley think maybe Madi was right??


    "You are right, man can''t resist whatever you said..."


    Tinsley nodded her head in positive, thinking to herself. Madi absent-mindedly let out.


    "Neither do women can resist dicks!"


    It was a mere whisper but Tinsley almost heard and before she could intervene about it, Madi bid her farewell, walking out of the cafe in a haste.


    After working for Agatha a few more hours, Tinsley got ready to go home too. She had a n in her mind and she was going to execute it, hoping it to be sessful.


    She breathed in and opened the door to find her husband on the sofa, working out on his MacBook.


    She smiled and turned around to close the door off. She opened her coat and then walked up to him.


    Not once did Kian looked up to see her. It was bothering her when she was so used to being the centre of his attention.


    She walked closer with confidence that she was going to take her ce back in his arms.


    She got on his side and waited for him to look up at her but he did not even tilt his head up to look at her.


    She closed her eyes, inhaled deep and then pushed theptop off of hisp and before he could react, she sat on him, he frowned at her.


    "Hey, handsome!!"


    She called out, smiling, coupling his face in between her palms so that his eyes were only on her face.


    He seemed taken aback by her action but did not react otherwise. When he did not do anything, she leaned in and imed his static lips.


    He remained unmoving. She resumed kissing him, running her fingers over his hair and a whileter, slipping one hand down to rub his erection back to life.


    Kian was not liking it so he pushed her off. Tinsley was shocked and looked at him, hurt. She understood that he was still angry at her.


    So without a word, she got up and turned around to head to the bedroom. Kian understood that she was craving him just like he was and could sense that his n had worked out.


    Before she could leave, he held her back and turned her around. He stood up and then pushed her down on the sofa. She did not protest him at all.


    "You want me to fuck you, huh??"


    He asked, bending down to slip her panty off from her legs. She helped him get it off her.


    "Yes!!! I want you!!"


    Tinsley answered, being bold, her chest was heaving up and down anticipating what he was going to do to her.


    "Then you will have me..."


    Kian said and unzipped his pant, pulling his erection out, jerking him off with his hand. Tinsley parted her legs wide apart for him to take her as he wished.


    Kian pulled her closer by her waist and spat on her pussy. She was getting so hit and before she thought he would finger her, he mmed his hard dick inside her and she screamed out, not expecting that at all.


    "...all raw and rough!"


    Kianpleted and resumed fucking her harder than she had ever been fucked as if he was punishing her and she closed her eyes, enjoying every bit of her punishment.

    Tinsley narrowed her eyes at Madi.


    Madi had no idea either what she was saying or speaking out. Her mind had not been working quite good ever since the g party she attended with Lana and had to meet John there.


    She could not get the kiss they had shared in his Mercedes out of her damn head that she zoned out of the asion so many fucking times even Lana thought she was drunk or high.

    Well, guess, Madison was too busy fighting out her fucked up situation to try to solve Tinsley''s mess!!


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley as usual finished her shift in the cafe and decided to head back home.


    She pulled her phone out from her pants pocket and saw a few texts from her husband asking when she would be home.


    Ever since that rough evening when he took her so raw and harsh, he could not keep his hands to himself anymore.


    He was so into her and it was different. The sex they had before was smooth, soft and not rough one bit.


    He used to be so gentle with her, very cautious not to hurt her or scare her away.


    But these days, sex had been all about him taking her rough, hard and fast without any forey or kisses.


    She would be working on the kitchen and he would just flip her skirt up and smack her ass before mming himself inside of her from behind and go on for so long that it would end up hurting her.


    Before he used to be careful and always ask her or check if she was alright but now he just did not bother at all.


    Once done, he would wear his pants back up and just leave her there, without a word or a kiss.


    But Tinsley did notin about it. She was just happy that they were back to being like how they used to be, not being able to keep their hands off each other.


    They would not talk much but she understood that he was still oveing from that incident. He was always the stubborn one by now she hade to know that very well.


    Their life was going as usual. He had no luck in making things up and had to carry on with the job to provide for the household.


    There would be times when he would think or wonder how his life would have been if he were still in his past and had not met Tinsley.


    But then when his eyes would fall over her, he just could not and did not want a time, present or his future without her even though they were having differences between them.


    He knew that she woulde around just like always. She just needed time to recover and would be ready to be pregnant in no time.


    He was holding onto that hope. No matter how much he missed their sweet lovemaking, he could not deny that he was not liking their present sex life.


    It was as if he had gone back on time and was in his usual sex life where he had only known of ever having a rough fuck.


    Sex for him before was a stress reliever. After a long day of exhausting work, he used sex as his coping out the action, relieving every kind of tension he had over him inside.


    It would not give him a long time relief but at least a momentary peace for a while and that was enough for him before he got back to work again.


    But when he met Tinsley, things just changed altogether. He never thought that he had it in him to make love to someone or be gentle and as patient and calm he was with her since the first day.


    He would always take sweet time to pleasure her first, so much forey to make sure not to hurt her and make here at least two times before he finished.


    But these days, he just did not bother. He would not even care about checking if she was wet enough or not. He would straight away m himself inside her and he had heard her cry out every time, he would not lie about not hearing that at all.


    Every time he was done, he would just get off and see her limping back to the bed and it would make him feel bad for her but he would just walk out, not wanting to run over her and apologise.


    Things had been going this way for a while. She had neverined once ever. Maybe if she did, he would have had stopped??


    Nevertheless, they were both missing about each other and neither was willing tomit toing clean about their feelings.


    ________________________________________________


    "So which one do you like??"


    Lana asked her girlfriend who was anywhere but there.


    Lana''s big fashion show wasing up and it had been a busy day selecting her outfits for the runaway.


    So far she hade up with the best ten and then best five before settling with the best two and now she was having a hard time selecting which one.


    So she called Madi and she was here in no time only for her to be distracted so much that she was not even listening to what Lana was talking about.


    They were in her brother''s living room. A huge hall, typical billionaire house where even John had to be there too working on hisptop, sitting on the sofa opposite to Madi and Lana was there in the middle, showcasing Madi her dresses.


    John would look up at her and Madi too would steal nces from him and they both would look away from the moment, Lana would start talking again.


    Lana''s fashion designer was there with them too. Two girls and one boy. What a day!!!


    "Hey??? Are you even listening to me??"


    Lana snapped her finger before Madi''s eyes and she was flipped back to reality.


    She looked at Lana absent-mindedly and stood up. Everyone in the room was looking at her weirdly including John.


    "Are you alright?? Have you been drinking a lot again??"


    Lana questioned, concerned. Madi shook her head and said she was very fine.


    After a bit of tussle, she finally helped Lana choosing her dress and got bored when they started talking about fashion.


    She was not a fashionista and being in a rtionship with a model, it was just everyday talk.


    She could not help but look in at John, who was working so peacefully on hisptop as if there were no chaos in there, just him and his work.


    She sighed, not knowing how to get over this infatuation she had for her girlfriend''s brother and day by day or was getting worse.


    Every time, she woulde to hang in Lana''s ce, shee face to face with John and you know, they would have a moment before Lana would snap them out of it.


    Things were not going any good for John either, having to lurk around the woman he liked as his sister''s damn girlfriend.


    It was as if destiny messing around with him, every time Madison would visit his house, he would be there just like today.


    He had no idea she would being in the very morning at least. He had tried to spend as much time he could in the office thaning home and when he would do, she would be here.


    It was not helping either when she would look up at him as if wanting him and it bothered him so much.


    It was so wrong to be eyeing his sister''s girlfriend, yet he could not bring himself to stop doing it.


    He wanted to yell at his sister and ask her to take her work back inside her wing and leave him alone in the living room to work but he knew that Delta would never listen.


    So when they were finally done, Lana and her workers went up the stairs to her room to get ready leaving Madi and John all alone.


    They both stared awkwardly at each other, not knowing what to do and what to say.


    "So you have been working huh??"


    Madi asked, breaking the silence, she was supposed to have followed Lana but she did not.


    John nodded, "Just reading the final draft of a few deals."


    Madi licked her lips as when he opened his mouth, all she saw was his lips moving and John observed that too.


    It was hard not to give in...not to just say fuck it off and abide by with their desire for each other.


    And in a few seconds, that was what they both did...giving in finally!!

    ________________________________________________


    It was a bright sunny day and Tinsley was happy for it was the very first time, she and her husband were out together, shopping for groceries.


    He pulled the trolley around as Tinsley dropped the items she picked on it. He was not liking this activity at all.


    The truth was he had to do so was because he had a lost a bet to her. Remembering about it, it was not that bad but stilling to do grocery shopping with his wife??...it was not something he really thought about in his past.


    "Are we not done yet??"


    He asked her. She turned her back to give him a genuine smile and shook her head in a tight no.


    Kian groaned and Tinsley internally chuckled. She never really thought that he would really ept it toe shopping with her if he had lost the bet and he did.


    "Look I found the cream vani essence!"


    Tinsley eximed and strode towards the rack. She had been trying to find it for a few minutes now for her baked caked.


    Kian rolled his eyes and followed her behind. She dropped the bottle of the icing on the trolley.


    "I used to love vani so much before...but now...I think my taste buds have changed!"


    Tinsley winked at her husband and he exactly understood the double meaning behind her words.


    Thest night shed back in his memory and he cursed for her to say things like this in a public ce. He felt himself getting hard inside his underwear.


    Tinsley licked her lips, sensing the kind of reaction her words could have on her husband and turned around to walk away, swaying her hips a little.


    Kian''s eyes fell upon her round shapely butts and he closed his eyes trying to stir this feeling away. She was being a vixen, stinging him purposefully.


    All he wanted at that moment was to drag her back to the house and fuck the brat to being a good girl.


    "Common, follow me?"


    She called out to him and he sighed, again starting to follow her back. They roamed around every department of the store and Tinsley was having fun, pulling his legs. She never got a chance like this every day so she was making full use of it.


    Her eyes fell on a dress and it was so beautiful, hanged on the rack. It was a blue, sleeveless, knee-length summer dress.


    Kian noticed her staring at the dress as if wanting to buy it. He was aware of the fact that what kind if life she used to live in.


    Buying stylish signature dresses on an everyday basis and now she only had a few in her acquisition and he felt bad that he could not provide for her the way she was raised up.


    Maybe that was why she did not want to get pregnant?? He wondered.


    "Get it if you want."


    He offered her, walling close to her and she jerked back, not expecting him to be so near her.


    "Huh??"


    "Try it on and we will get it if it will fit you?"


    He said. She looked down and muttered under her breath.


    "Of course it will fit...it was made for me!"


    She thought he would not hear her but he did. It was her dress, designed for her, sold out in the auction and here she was eyeing her own dress, hung up in the market for sale.


    Kian could sense her being down and held her hand. She looked up at him. Their eyes peeking into each other.


    "Let''s go buy it!"


    He uttered, firmly, meaning it. She seemed unsure whether or not to go for it.


    "What about the price?? It might be costly and I really don''t need it..."


    She started blurting out. Kian shut her mouth up by cing a finger on her lips and dragged her near the dress.


    "Kian!?? What are you doing?? We don''t need it...I m fine!"


    She whispered, yelled, trying to free her hand from his hold. The saleswoman of the dress walked up to them sooner.


    "How may I help you, folks?"


    The woman asked, cheerfully. She followed their gaze andmented.


    "It''s a very pretty summer dress. The manager bought it from an auction. "


    And Tinsley closed her eyes, not wanting to be anywhere but here. She looked at Kian, begging him to let go.


    On listening to thedy, Kian prayed in his heart that the dress was in his affordable range.


    Aftering this so far, he did not want to go back for not having enough money to buy his wife a fucking dress that belonged to her.


    It would confirm his every worst fear of not being enough for them...for her. Regardless of that, he stood on his ground even when Tinsley was pinching him to return.


    "Would you like to try on, ma''am?"


    "No..no!!! I...uhh...I mean it will probably not fit me anyway..."


    Tinsley stuttered. Kian could see how hard she was trying to walk out of there as if thinking, knowing it in her that he would not be able to afford it.


    "You look in perfect shape, ma''am!"


    Thedy insisted, pulling the dress out of the y model frame. Tinsley shook her head.


    "No!!!... I have put on some weight...I m fat, it will get stuck!"


    Tinsley nervously cackled and looked at Kian for some kind of help but he just stood beside her, not doing anything at all.


    "Actually...we will take the dress!"


    He stepped in and Tinsley eyed him, astonished, not expecting that at all.


    "Good then!! The trial room is on the left corner, you can try it on ma''am!"


    The wan chimed in, handing the dress to Tinsley.


    "No...I mean what''s the cost?"


    She implored, handing the dress back to the woman. Kian grabbed the dress back and handed it to his wife.


    "You try it on...I will go and pay!"


    He stressed and gave the look that told her clearly not to oppose and just be a good obedient wife.


    Tinsley looked disturbed but dejectedly turned around to head to the trial room not wanting to embarrass her husband anymore. It was a small town and people talked about things like that.


    Kian followed the saleswoman behind to the cash counter for paying. He looked at his gold ring and thought of selling it if the price was up.


    "It will be six thousand and fifty dors, sir!"


    The cashier dered. Kian closed his eyes, sighing.


    Oh!! What a day hade when he feared of not having enough in his bank to afford a dress for his wife!!!


    ________________________________________________


    In the trial room, Tinsley was staring at herself and the dress in the full mirror.


    The clothing material was still fine and smooth like the first day she wore it. Back then she did not know that owning a dress like this was a luxury.


    The door opened and she turned around to see who it was, rmed but breathed in when finding it out, it was her husband.


    "You have not tried it on yet?"


    He asked. She shook her head. She did not know if she should if she deserves to put such a dress on her.


    "Turn around!"


    Kianmanded and she obliged. He opened the chain of her floral frock. It slipped down to her feet.


    "Raise your hands up!"


    He requested and swung the dress over her head. He made her wear the dress and it fit her perfectly fine.


    On looking at the mirror, she felt likeing face to face with her old self. Her eyes watered, not valuing about things when they were still there.


    "You look beautiful...as always!"


    Heplimented her, bending down to slip on the new shoes that he bought for her too.


    "But more by putting these on..."


    Tinsley could not hold her tears back anymore as they poured out of her eyes freely.


    It was the same pair of shoes that she bought it with the dress. He made her wear it on her feet.


    "How did you...??? What about the price??"


    "You do not have to run your head wild over that...can you just try to not cry and look pretty for your husband?"


    Kian let out, joking. It made her giggle in the middle of her tears. She nodded her head positively, wrapping herself in her husband''s embrace.

 Chapter 143 - "MAKE LOVE TO ME PLEASE!"

    The next few days passed by rapidly and it was the day of the fundraising event.


    Tinsley was very excited. She had not been to a party of such kind for quite a long time and she would be lying to herself if she said she did not miss getting back on it.


    The rich wines, women in pretty dresses bragging about their husband''s new fortune or the design of their dress and this and that.


    That environment would seem nosey and bitch kind to any outsider but for someone like her who grew up attending those events, she was too used to it then staying out of it.


    Most of all, she was looking forward to going with her husband for the very first time.


    It would be their first outing together and she was so enthusiastic about how it was going to be.


    She had prepared for the day from the day before. She delivered cakes, twice in amount to Agatha beforehand so that she would not have to bother about itter.


    She came out of the bathroom, freshly showered, wrapping the towel around her chest but before she could cross the threshold of the bathroom, Kian pulled her towards his body, removing the towel from her body.


    "Kian!!! What the hell!!!"


    Tinsley shrieked and was stopped by his lips on hers. She hummed as he deepened the kiss. Her nude self pasted against his clothed body.


    He kneaded her ass cheek on his palms. She moaned, holding onto his shoulders. He was being restless.


    Secondster, one of his hands slipped down onto her and started rubbing her wet slits. She squirmed on his hold but he did not stop. His mouth sucking in all her voices of protest.


    He started fingering her, adding one more finger each time. She felt so full, she felt like she was going to burst out.


    As his hands furiously moved in and out of her wet hole, she struggled to keep breathing normally.


    So his mouth descended down on her exposed neck, leaving bite marks every way. She gritted her teeth as the very next minute, she exploded on his fingers, cursing out her breath.


    Immediately after it, not giving her a second of rest, he picked her tired body up as if she weighed nothing at all and threw her on the bed.


    He pulled his pants off, letting it down till his hip. He dragged her to the edge of the bed by holding on to her legs.


    She parted her thighs willingly for him to do whatever he liked with her. She was totally under his mercy and she did not want to change anything of it.


    He stroked his member, rubbing it on her wet cunt, rolling his length around her juices. She closed her eyes at the delirium feeling.


    Once he was all drenched in her liquid, he mmed himself inside of her tiny opening and she screamed out his name.


    "Yes!!! Scream my name, baby!!"


    Kian urged her for more as he continued to ram himself in and out of her speedily.


    The bed was shaking and it was making a crease noisebined with her and his moans and groans.


    His hands held tightly on her inner thighs as leverage, going in and out of her. Her pale skin was being bruised by his rough handling.


    Her breasts shook to and fro as he kept thrusting himself, rocking her world like a crazy tornado.


    When he was close, his movements became more urgent. She raised up her upper body to see how they connected so well.


    His dick was out and then vanished inside of her in a sh of a second. His eyes peeked at hers and he could hear her inner voice yelling at him how beautiful everything was.


    And in no time, Kian came undone as he spilled all of himself deep inside of her, shooting his gruey cum all over the walls of her vagina as she gripped him like a vice, squeezing his breath out.


    Right after that, he got out of all his clothes and joined her on the bed. She scooted near him, resting her head on his heavily beating chest.


    They both did not say a word as they allowed the silence to soothe them down, calm their souls up.


    "Do you like inflicting pain?"


    The question took him off guards. He looked at her as she nced at him, expecting for an answer.


    He had no idea why she was asking him such a question. He did like it rough than softcore but inflicting pain?? He did not even know himself clearly about it.


    "What??"


    It was the first thing he uttered out, his voice hoarse and confused.


    "We do not make love anymore...you are always so rough...not that I do not like it, I do but...I also miss us making love...taking our time, you know..."


    Tinsley tried to exin what she meant. He had been very rough with her and she had notined about it one bit.


    She was liking it, the things that he would do to her beyond her grasp andfort zone. She trusted him with her body, her likes and dislikes.


    But she could not ignore the pain and exhaustion it inflicted on her bodyter. How sore she would feel down there.


    Repeated sex also caused some burning sensation inside her core due to the friction. Her pussy felt too used and swollen. It hurt if she did any hard work.


    Not to mention her nipples ached when she would wear a bra to go out. The clothing material brushing against her red nipples caused irritation and pain.


    Sometimes he would leave some deep bite marks imprinting his teeth marks on her skin and it hurt a lot.


    Yet she led him on, thinking that he would stop on his own. That it was just a phrase and they were trying something new buttely, observing him doing it again and again, made here to confront him like this.


    "Did I hurt you??"


    Kian asked, concerned. He had an episode like that with her and he was not wanting for another repeat.


    He quickly sat up and parted her legs to examine her core. Her vulva was poking out, bite marks surrounding it.Some were even littered on her inner thighs. It looked painful.


    She sat up too and his eyesnded on her nipples. They were so red as if he had bit and suck on them too hard.


    He touched one of the nipples, softly and she winced out even at the minimal contact.


    It was then he understood it. Why she was asking him so and so?? He had forgotten to care for her in his pleasure.


    He looked down, ashamed and guilty. He had done it again even when he promised that he would never hurt her again.


    Tinsley sensed him and tilted his face up with her finger on his jaw. Their eyes joined with each other.


    "Hey!!! I m fine!!"


    She muttered and he just nced at her, not responding anything. She pulled him down, hugging his huge body with her small self.


    He rested his face against her breasts and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around her waist.


    "I m sorry!!" He mumbled softly and she heard him.


    She dropped a sweet kiss on his hair and kept saying that she was fine, not hurt at all. But it was not doing anything to make him feel less guilty about himself.


    "You know...some of it, I even liked it..."


    She tried to divert the topic. He knew her too well and did not move. All she ever wanted at that moment was to make him understand that she was alright.


    "Kian...I m fine!!! It hurt me but I m fine...I promise."


    She asserted, making him look up at her. He observed her eyes as if trying to read her soul.


    She leaned in to kiss his lips. He responded to it right away. She held his face as she deepened the kiss, getting up in hisp.


    He showered kisses all over her neck, chest, sucking her nipples gently, licking the skin to soothe it.


    Tinsley closed her eyes, letting him love her body as he used to do it before. He stopped to check up on her.


    "Make love to me, please!"


    She requested him, boring her eyes deep into his and he did not wait for another second.


    He very gentlyid her down on the bed and got on top of her. His fingers dived in and out of her to ready her for him.


    She bit on her lips as she felt him easing inside her very slowly. His bodyid atop of hers.


    She wrapped her legs around his waist as he began to thrust in and out of her slowly.


    He rested his head on her breast valley as they made sweet passionate love to each other without a haste.

 Chapter 144 - THE PAIN OF A WIFE!

    He would and could not keep his hands to himself.


    She just looked so beautiful in that dress. In the trial room, he was so busy thrusting his cock in her mouth that he had not observed her that lucidly.


    But looking at her now, standing in front of the mirror, in that blue dress, her red hair flowing down. She looked ethereal.


    "Kian!!! Stop!"


    Tinsley muttered, giggling. He did not though. She leaned onto his body as they both stared at each other through the mirror.


    "You look so fucking beautiful!"


    He whispered, near her ears, eyes on her reflection. She blushed profusely, parting her gaze away from his, feeling shy under his deep gape.


    "Fuck can''t keep my hands to myself!"


    He honestly confessed and tried to slip one of thece off of her shoulder. Tinsley held it back, narrowing her eyes at him.


    "We will bete!!"


    "Who cares??"


    Kian groaned. Tinsley shook her head in disapproval. This was their first appearance in the town and she did not want to seem like they did not care arrivingte.


    "We can make it more fun here..."


    Kian suggested and Tinsley raised her eyebrows at him, not getting his point one bit.


    "...on the bed...you and me...me on top of you..."


    Tinsley knew exactly where it was going, so she pushed him off of her body and walked inside the small cost to grab him his shirt and pants.


    "You need to get dressed or I m leaving without you."


    Tinsley threatened and Kian grunted out in frustration. He was nowhere ready to go to a party.


    He then regretted for saying yes to it in the first ce and now he could not even back out of it because he''s pretty wife would not let him even if he wanted to.


    "We do not know anybody there!"


    He tried toe up with excuses to prevent them from going on. It was true though they knew nobody. Hell! He did not even know their building neighbours.


    "You don''t. I do! "


    Tinsley smirked. She sat on the vanity to apply some minimal makeup and lipstick on herself.


    He gave up and got out of his clothes. She could not help but stare at his nude body...his hard chest and the taught abs.


    No matter how many times, she had him, seen him...it always was not enough. Whenever he would get naked, she could not help her eyes.


    Kian noticed her and smirked. He just liked the kind of power he had over her. She was attracted to him...and he was quite well aware of that.


    "You know you can have this if you get on the bed?"


    He gestured to his body. She immediately turned around and started redoing her makeup.


    He groaned and wore the white shirt she picked it up for him. He striped put off his pyjamas and his manhood sprang out free in between his legs. He was hard and Tinsley did not see that. She was too busy applying makeup.


    He checked himself down and closed his eyes in disappointment. He just could not hold himself in whenever she was around looking like that...so fucking sexy!


    He whistled at her. She tilted her head to check him out.


    "Can you please help me with this onest time???"


    He pointed at his erection. Tinsley''s eyes widened to her maximum. She could not believe him getting hard in a moment like this??


    They were already getting ate and here he was thinking about sex again when they had it in like two hours ago or three??


    "No!!! You are taking a cold shower!"


    She dered, turning her back at him. He stomped his feet on the ground like a damn child not happy with his mother''s words.


    "Common!!! Baby...just one time and I will get ready in seconds??? Please???"


    He pleaded. She shook her head in negative and resumed with her makeup. He sighed and headed towards the bathroom, with his head held low.


    "If you take more than three minutes, no touching me for oneplete day!!! Remember that!!"


    Tinsley warned him, and he started the cold shower right away not wanting that to happen. That would be a damn nightmare.


    Not having to touch her a fucking day!!! That would be the doomsday for him.


    ________________________________________________


    After all the hassle and fazzle, they were here finally at the event, Anderson''s house.


    It was thest ce he would have visited in this town but for his wife, he just tagged along. He hoped that bastard was not here.


    Tinsley wrapped her hand around his bicep and they both headed inside the hall together.


    The venue was filled with people and it was different because not all were the rich folks. The town people from middle to poor ss families...everyone was here.


    Tinsley''s eyesnded on Mr And Mrs Anderson, who waved in her way, from the stage, a few distances away. Tinsley waved back.


    "She is really a kind woman, isn''t she??"


    Tinsley looked at Kian. He found himself nodding to that. Pauline was just different.


    A few minutes into the party, Pauline walked up to Tinsley and her husband. They were enjoying the harvested fruit punch.


    "I m so d that you both made it in!"


    Pauline smiled. Tinsley and she shared a hug and Mr Anderson came along.


    "Honey, remember Tinsley??"


    "Rutherford''s daughter?"


    Mr Anderson implored, looking at the young couple. Pauline nodded and introduced her husband to them.


    "Yes...this is her husband, Kian Randall!"


    "Do I know you, young man??"


    Mr Anderson behold Kian trying to pinpoint him out. He had not heard a Randall to be any from the rich ss.


    "I believe you don''t, Mr Anderson!"


    Kian replied, extending his hand for the old man to shake which he epted right away.


    "You can''t know everyone,Daniel!"


    All of them turned their head to look who it was. And there stood, Cynthia Fullerton.


    Tinsley watched Pauline''s face changing colours. She was not happy to see her husband''s him ex but she could not help it. Daniel needed Cynthia in his life now.


    "Cynthia?? Is that you??"


    "Yes!! Daniel...that''s me!"


    She walked up to them and stood beside Daniel, Mr Anderson. Kian did not know what was even going on.


    "Tinsley??? My my!!! Marshally''s daughter...now grown up and married to Valeria''s nephew!!! What a match!"


    Cynthia chimed, checking Kian and Tinsley up and down.


    In moments like these, Tinsley was grateful that she had worn a decent dress so that women like Cynthia would not make fun of her, especially her husband''s financial condition.


    "You know him??"


    Daniel questioned. Cynthia smiled at her ex-husband.


    "I know everyone, Daniel just like I know you."


    She poked at his chest and they bothughed. Tinsley did not know why Pauline was allowing Cynthia to fool around with her husband?


    "What happened to Josh Herrington?? Were you not betrothed to him??"


    Cynthia implored and Tinsley became conscious. Kian sensed it as how her to hold on to him became stiffer and tighter.


    "She is married to me now...she is my wife!"


    Kian stepped in and Cynthia chuckled.


    "How territorial!! Young love!! Remember us, Daniel?? "


    Mr Anderson shook his old self as if reminiscing about his first marriage. Tinsley felt bad for Pauline.


    "But it fades...and ines another woman..."


    Cynthia said, poking her eyes at Pauline. She held Daniel''s hand in hers and then looked back at Tinsley and Kian.


    "...but the first love always finds it''s way in back...again!"


    Cynthia smirked. Kian and Tinsley stood ideal but knowing how to react. All Tinsley wanted was tofort Pauline at that moment.


    "How is Serena Williams, Kian??"


    And it made Kian immediately look into Cynthia''s eyes. Tinsley did not get what just happened.


    "Enough talk, Cynthia...can you help Daniel to the other guests??"


    Pauline spoke up finally. She did not want that evil vile woman to blurt some old history and mess up with the young couple''s rtionship.


    "Absolutely yes!! When have you been ever good at standing next to Daniel??"


    Cynthia chuckled. Mr Anderson smiled at his ex-wife and they both walked away.


    "Sorry about that..."


    Pauline apologized. Tinsley held her hands, getting close to her.


    "You don''t need to..."


    Kian excused both thedies for getting drinks. After what he just heard, his entire system was disturbed and had to hit the bar to stay calm tonight.


    Serena Williams??


    How the hell this woman know about him and Serena??


    "Why did you invite her here??"


    Tinsley intervened, not getting why Pauline would do something like that at all.


    "Daniel is sick...he forgets and all he remembers is her..."


    Pauline rubbed her tears away. She did not want to break down in front of the crowd.


    "He knows who I m...his wife but he needs her...the doctor advised to not mentally exert on him. Since he keeps asking about her...I had no choice!!"


    Paulinepleted and Tinsley felt the pain of a wife.

 Chapter 145 - REMEMBER ME?

    Cynthia''sughter vibrated in the hall in the middle of the crowd of rich people, circting her and Daniel as they talked.


    Pauline turned her head away from the sight. Tinsley touched her shoulder giving herfort and support.


    It was not easy for any woman to watch her man, mingling with people with his ex.


    "I''m fine!"


    Pauline said, smiling at Tinsley. She could not be more thankful for having her with her tonight to keeppany. She had no idea what she would have done if she had not invited them.


    "You can tell me...tell yourself that you are fine...but you are not, deep down you know you are not. "


    Tinsley pressed. She wanted to give Pauline as much support and constion she could at that time.


    "Watching your husband...the man you love with someone that is not you...is the hardest sight to behold."


    Tinsley confessed, being hurtfully honest. She would not be able to see Kian with anyone else that was not her...it was the truth.


    Hell! Even when Nathan mentioned about one name of the woman from his past life, it nagged her entire self for a goddamn week.


    "You have grown up!"


    Pauline remarked, remembering the face of that sweet silent teenage girl ten years ago.


    "And you are still young whereas Daniel..."


    "Old?"


    Paulinepleted for her. Tinsley nodded not trying to be polite at all in that piece of information.


    "My father used to say the same about us...but my heart could not help itself from falling for that old guy!!"


    Pauline asserted, tilting her head back to look at him, happy in the arms of his previous wife.


    The evening passed with them chatting about the men in their lives. Tinsley found herself asking about Cynthia.


    Pauline told her that she had married five yearster to some Italian Landlord and Business Ma.


    They met with a terrible ident, killing her husband and the unborn child in her womb.


    Ever since Cynthia took to travel and never settled in one ce more than a month. She had the fortunes of her husband to spend for the next generation.


    So when Pauline gave a call to her, she was here in the nick of time. She had seen how her eyes glowed watching Daniel for the very first time after two decades.


    Pauline saw love...the love that faded away when she stepped into Cynthia''s ex-husband''s life.


    Till to this date, sometimes, Pauline felt herself condemning Danieling to her when he had such a pretty heiress as his wife, his childhood lover.


    Could her life had been different if she had not felt for a married man who imed that he missed being in love after falling out of it from his wife??


    Yet when his eyes met with Cynthia, the other day, she saw it...she saw the love and admiration he had for his first wife when they were married and in love.


    It was then in that moment, Pauline felt as if she hadmitted a mistake...a mistake ofing in between two lovers, breaking their marriage and ending it forever.


    She felt like the third wheel in the rtionship. But the time had flown too far and fasted for her to recede it back or travel back into it and chose the road not taken.


    "I love him, Tinsley, and in the end that news only calms my nerves, my senses to keep me going..."


    Pauline let out, drinking her wine flute. Tinsley kept her eyes on Pauline throughout the entire narration.


    "And now I m too deep to just go!"


    Shepleted and then excused herself to go catch up with her husband. Tinsley sighed watching her trying to reach her own husband as Mr Andersonughed away in the arms of Cynthia.


    Before it got toote, she turned around to go find her husband. Listening and hearing Pauline, she could not tell whether the woman was happy or upset or was drowning in guilt foring in between a broken marriage??


    ________________________________________________


    Serena Williams!!


    The name...the damn name kept ringing in his head and how much he drank, it kept ringing no matter what.


    Her dark skin, brown globes of eyes, deep ck hairs and her full lips stretching for a smile....


    It echoes in his mind and he closed his eyes trying to shut it. He had a wife now...he was happy with his wife. He really was.


    Damn!! He cared for Tinsley than he ever cared for any soul on earth.


    Yet, he knew it...he knew it that deep within himself, he still could not bring in it himself to love her.


    He was incapable of loving his wife...yet. And he was not sure why. He had no valid reason for it.


    He had poured his heart and soul to her. Maybe not all of him but most of him. Yet it was not enough to say he loved her.


    He was not sure if she loved him too the way she imed. It was aplex task to know if she meant it...if she really did or it was just an infatuation too for her.


    For a man like him who ran around statistics and proof, without proof not believing anything. It was hard to believe her...even his wife.


    It was not like he had not tried to walk out of hisfort zone. He did...he did it with her but she just disappeared.


    Vanished in the thin air...after everything they had been together??


    Would a woman who imed to love him just leave him like that out of nowhere??


    "Hey!"


    Kian tilted his head to see a woman. He narrowed his eyes at her, not recognizing her at first.


    His eyes descended down to the women''s providing belly and looked back up at her.


    "Do you not remember??"


    The woman asked him, with a smile on her face. Kian found himself shaking his head in negative. He really did not recognise her one bit.


    "You served the pie in the cafe when me and my husband..."


    "Oh, fuck!!! Shit!!"


    Kian closed his mouth, not daring to speak another word with his hands. He remembered. It was that pregnant woman.


    The woman chuckled and Kian dropped his hands from his mouth. He could not help but keep ncing at her round belly.


    "I did not get the chance to thank you for bringing the pie at the right time..."


    "Mention not!!"


    Kian said. The woman continued regardless.


    "I was so happy to break the news to him you know and really did not bother about anything else at that moment. "


    The woman said. Kian nodded his head, not knowing what else to say. It was awkward to talk with a stranger, more awkward when you could not keep your eyes off her belly.


    "I m three months in, heading to four months in five days!"


    She asserted, proudly, rubbing her very pregnant belly with her hands. Kian''s eyes were stuck on her all the time.


    "Do you want to feel it??"


    The woman offered, watching how curious he was. Kian at first hesitated but then epted it.


    The woman took his hand and ced it on her belly. Kian''s hand shook on feeling it, being nervous. It was a very special feeling.


    "People say that how hard it is for women to have a child, you know. In the religion, it says that we are cursed to have to go through this...but they do not know that it''s the ultimate blessing..."


    Kian listened to her words, running his hand around her belly.


    "Carrying a life is the most miraculous thing ever on Earth!"


    Kian nodded, totally agreeing to the words of the woman. It was true. Every good thinges with a price, lots of pain in the way so that when you hold the life, you created in your hands and feel that fresh wave of peace, calm and immense joy.


    You feel all of that only because you felt the pain of having it. The pain makes you understand and perceive the feeling of happiness, its value.


    "It was worth it after four years of long struggle..."


    Kian could not keep his hands to himself anymore as he felt likeing in contact with the baby inside of the woman''s womb.


    "My wife and I had a miscarriage."


    He did not know why he said that out loud to aplete stranger. And even after seeing how she eyed him with pity and sorrow, he had no idea why he did that.


    "I m sorry!"


    "It''s fine!!! We are fine for now!!"


    Kian spoke, pulling his hands back to himself and inside his pockets.


    "We all say that...that we are fine but in reality, we are far from it...for a woman who has gone through it all, I can''t imagine what you and especially your wife must have went through."

 Chapter 146 - "HE IS NOT WORTH IT!"

    "It''s fine!!! We are fine for now!!"


    Kian spoke, pulling his hands back to himself and inside his pockets.


    "We all say that...that we are fine but in reality, we are far from it...for a woman who has gone through it all, I can''t imagine what you and especially your wife must have gone through."


    The woman borated, sympathising with him. He did not want to seem weak in front of the unknown stranger but he could not bring it in himself to act otherwise.


    "But with time, it gets better. I m a survivor so is my husband and we havee to experience this wonderful news. It makes all the pain, wait and grief that we went through together, worth it!!"


    Kian found himself drowning in her words. It made sense to him. If not all. , he got some of it.


    "Give her time and give yourself some time too. Heal first! And then the nature will it takes it course!"


    The woman concluded. He nodded and thanked her for her advice. They had a few talks and then he was left alone once again.


    He sighed and took to drinking. He had no idea where his wife was or who she was with. He thought to give her some time alone.


    "I see jamming all alone?"


    Kian looked to his left and saw Nathan, leaning on the bar, smirking at him.


    Kian rolled his eyes, getting annoyed. He was thest person he wanted to see at the moment.


    "Where is your beautiful wife?"


    That made Kian turn his head to look at him with extreme fury and rage. The mention of his very wife made him very angry.


    But for the sake of his wife, he controlled his anger and tried to remain calm. He did not want to create a scene and embarrass her anymore.


    "Why are you here??"


    Kian questioned, gritting his teeth. Nathan chuckled at him.


    "It''s my uncle''s and aunt''s fundraising event! Of course, I will be here."


    Nathan replied, sipping on his whisky. Kian rolled his eyes and looked away.


    He thought of excusing himself from here and go find him wife. It had been a while and he had no idea where she was.


    And as if Tinsley had heard him thinking about her, she came up front and called out for her husband.


    "Kian??"


    He turned around to find his wife, standing a few meters away, smiling at him.


    Nathan too saw her and it was thest thing Kian wanted at that moment. That bastard and his wife under the same roof!


    "Hey, Tinsley??"


    Tinsley did not see Nathan at all, there, right beside her husband. He was thest person, she thought of her husband hanging with.


    "Hello?"


    She stuttered, not knowing exactly how to greet him not making Kian think that something was wrong.


    Over the few months that she had been married to him, she hade to know that he was the kind of man who was very possessive and egotistical.


    And it was in these moments, she feared. She had seen how he turned on to almost kill Nathan only because he saw her and him talking.


    Nathan saw it...saw how nervous and anxious she was. It was then and there, the thought came to his mind and it was sudden that what if Kian was treating her the same as Josh was doing?


    Tinsley looked in Kian''s direction before greeting him, nervously as if her husband would not approve of it.


    All of thesepelled him to think otherwise. He knew or at least was aware of the kind of man Kian Randall was...controlling and dominating.


    "Are you alright??"


    It was a question that came out of him in seconds. He did not think it through while asking that to her.


    "Why will I not be??"


    Tinsley retorted back, softly smiling at him. At the same time, stealing nces at Kian to check if he was alright with it.


    She did not want to aggravate him. It was thest thing she wanted at the time. And she very well knew that things would not turn out to be good if the fight broke out.


    The next question slipped out of Nathan''s even before he could think it through.


    "Is he treating you well??"


    The question made Tinsley shocked and raised her eyebrows at him, totally not believing that he was asking her such a thing.


    Kian stepped in between, concealing Tinsley''s figure from Nathan''s eyes. How dare the bastard think that he was treating his wife like shit??


    How dare he!!!


    And even if he did, she was his wife. He had every right to deal with her however the way he liked...nobody could say anything to him.


    "Excuse me?"


    Kian spoke up before Tinsley could. She was static in her position, not knowing what to do.


    She did not want to pull her husband out from there either because it would make society think it otherwise and she very well knew that Kian would not like it either.


    "You heard me. And it was directed to Tinsley."


    Nathan said, tilting his head a little to view Tinsley who was standing there like a scared cat.


    "My wife, you mean?"


    Kian smirked. Nathan chuckled. He knew how to aggregate this man. And he liked it to make Tinsley see that she was so much more than him.


    "Yes, your wife! Are you treating her right??And no, I do not need your opinion, I want to know it from her."


    Nathan borated. Kian narrowed his eyes and voiced out.


    "I speak for my wife!"


    "She has her own voice, man! "


    Nathan countered back. Tinsley was watching to and fro. The conversation was getting heated second by second.


    "She has no problem for me to speak on her behalf!"


    Kian asserted and Nathan crossed cut him.


    "And is that alright with you, Tinsley?"


    Tinsley did not answer him right away. She was frozen in her mindset and the question took her off-guard.


    Kian was eyeing her expectantly that she would agree with him but when she took time, he was feeling insecure.


    "She of course does not share the same opinion as you!"


    Nathan mocked and in the corner of her eyes, Kian moved forward, as if going to hit him off.


    "However the hell, I treat her...she is my wife, she is fucking mine and I can treat her, however, the hell I want! "


    "And you can''t even do a thing about it!"


    Kian spat. Tinsley rushed between the two and stopped Kian from speaking out more.


    "I will...I will do the same what you did to Josh!"


    Nathan said and it got Kian more furious. Before he could do something more, Tinsley stepped in.


    "Stop!!"


    She whispered to Kian, peeking right through his eyes. He looked at her andpelled himself not to fight him going against her.


    When Kian stopped, she turned back to face Nathan. She stood up for her husband.


    "My husband loves me! And however, he treats me?? It''s none of your business!"


    "I did not intend to call you out, Tinsley."


    Nathan defended himself. Kian was proud of how she was standing up for him. Even lying the part of it.


    "I m not done, Nathan Anderson and just to remind you, I can stand up for myself very goddamn well!"


    She interrupted him in the halfway and then caught hold of Kian''s hand and walked away from there.


    Kian let his wife take him away as he tilted his head back a little and smirked at Nathan, standing there with shock.


    "That is only left of you to hide behind your wife''s skirt now, Kian Randall!"


    Nathan screamed it out. Not everyone heard it though due to the noisy environment but Kian did and so did Tinsley.


    She tried to pull Kian away but he stopped and got stuck. Her heart was beating very fast as she knew that the hell would break loose at any moment if she could not take him out of here.


    Nathanughed out loud, knowing very well that he did it. Did it once again! He had gotten the attention of Kian''s fury.


    "Let''s go, Kian! Please!"


    Tinsley whispered to him, with pleading eyes, not wanting to go through it.


    "He is not worth it! Let''s go, please! I beg you!"


    Kian''s ears had turned deaf at that moment to his wife''s ears. Tinsley held tightly onto his wrist, trying to pull him away but he was unmoving, ring at Nathan who was smirking at him, igniting the fire.


    Kian was barely controlling himself and not strode up to that bastard and knick his teeth out.


    "Please, let''s go, Kian!!! There are people watching us!"


    She squeezed his hand, feeling the eyes of people nearby on them...on her and on him.


    But it was thest stroke and Kian pulled his hand out of her hold and stormed towards Nathan tond a punch.

    "I m not done, Nathan Anderson and just to remind you, I can stand up for myself very goddamn well!"


    She interrupted him in the halfway and then caught hold of Kian''s hand and walked away from there.


    Kian let his wife take him away as he tilted his head back a little and smirked at Nathan, standing there with shock.


    "That is only left of you to hide behind your wife''s skirt now, Kian Randall!"


    "Please, let''s go, Kian!!! There are people watching us!"

    ________________________________________________


    The event wasing to an end and Cynthia led her ex-husband up the stairs to the stage to make the final bidding of the night.


    People cheered for them. There were whispers from them how good the duo looked...the perfect couple.


    A perfect heiress with the multi Billionaire. Both families going back to historical fame.


    While Pauline was just amoner who worked as his secretary, bringing him his morning coffee.


    She heard those gossips. Twenty-seven years of marriage and still people could not let go of her inferior background.


    She stood on the front row of the crowds, watching Cynthia help her husband opening the card.


    She looked away, not having it in her to keep her tough, brave mask on all throughout the night.


    And all of a sudden, in the sh of seconds, she heard a shock stricken scream.


    She fluttered her eyes up and saw Daniel losing bnce. Cynthia struggling to keep him still.


    People ran up to help and Pauline remained still. People pushing past her, thrashing her to the side.


    Kian looked up before his punch couldnd on Nathan. They all did and saw the scene. Nathan pushed Kian aside and ran in the direction of the stage.


    "What happened!"


    Tinsley uttered out, holding Kian''s hand, being afraid and shock. She saw how Daniel lost it.


    Nathan got to the stage but then he saw Pauline, standing near it, still, stuck to her spot, eyes wide open.


    He decided against following his uncle who was being taken away from the stage and got down to support his aunt.


    "Hey??"


    He got closer and shook her shoulder. She took a moment or two to respond but when she did, she was engulfed in a hug by Nathan.


    "Everything will be alright!"


    He promised her as she let herself lose on his chest. She cried her heart out for feeling every kind of emotion.


    It ranged from feeling jealous to getting neglected by her husband, being angry at him and nowing to the realization that she might end up losing him tonight altogether.


    Tinsley walked up to them, followed by Kian behind her. Nathan looked up at them.


    "I will see her. You go to Daniel!"


    She offered, and he looked hesitant at first but gave in. Pauline hugged Tinsley and cried in her arms. Kian excuses himself for not being able to hear the cries.


    Nathan left for to check up on his uncle. The crowd started to head out too and slowly and slowly the hall became crystal empty with Tinsley under the huge chandelier, hugging Pauline to herself.


    After a while, Nathan came out along with Cynthia. Pauline stood up and walked up to her cousin.


    "He is fine. Everything''s under control! The doctor said."


    Nathan dered and Pauline could not help feel the ease. She melted in Nathan''s arms in relief.


    Tinsley sighed too. Kian remained adamant, standing beside his wife. Cynthia strode forward and stopped before Pauline.


    "I always knew...always knew you were not fit to be his wife, ever."


    Cynthia started. Everyone remained silent, watching her rant everything upon Pauline as if it was her fault from the beginning.


    "Do not tell me how to be a good wife, Cynthia. If you were one, then your ex-husband would not havee to another woman...me to find love when you were both married!"


    Pauline retorted back in sass. Cynthia was fuming in anger by that time. She was a very tall woman, towering over Pauline.


    "Still you could not save him. He was safer with me than he was ever with you!"


    Cynthia vehemently used Pauline. The two women seemed as if they were on each others neck.


    "If I did not care about him, I would have never called you here. And I think that very much sums everything, Cynthia."


    Pauline peeked in her eyes, deeply, stating that. She wanted to let Cynthia know, how much it hurt her to call her here.


    How much it hurt to see her husband...the love of her life with his other wife...


    Before Cynthia could say anything anymore, Nathan stepped in between. He held Cynthia''s hand.


    "It''s enough. You are not needed here anymore!"


    Cynthia could not believe her ears that this little nephew of hers was asking her to leave today.


    "You are asking me to leave?"


    She asked him, with a frown. Nathan did not flinch and stood still. He did not leave her wrist either.


    "Do you know Pauline why Nathan, Daniel''s sister,te Danisha''s son is the heir of Anderson Corp?"


    Cynthia intervened, cruelly with a soft evil smile stered on her face.


    Tinsley and Kian were silently watched the entire drama unfolding before them. Nathan and Pauline remained unspoken.


    "Because Daniel does not believes you to be worthy to be carrying the Anderson heir. "


    Cynthia dropped the bomb and it exploded in all the right ces. Nathan''s hold slipped from Cynthia''s hand.


    "More than twenty years of marriage and no child. It sums up your marriage pretty much!"


    Cynthia went on. She wanted to inflict hurt and dissent upon Pauline and she could see that it was working.


    "Perhaps you could not satisfy Daniel as much as a street whore!"


    No further words were spoken or heard anymore as a tight skin pping sound echoed in the room afterwards.


    Cynthia held her right cheek after Pauline pped her in the sh of a second. When Cynthia was about to open her mouth again to speak, Paulinended another p.


    Everyone was astonished and speechless. They had no words left to utter out.


    "Get this woman out of my fucking sight!"


    Paulinemanded and she did not have to speak out twice as Nathan held Cynthia and led her towards the door.


    "Oh and Cynthia! It is not me who could not keep Daniel satiate. It was you so he came running to me!"


    Pauline mocked and Cynthia fumed, storming out of the Anderson Residency. Kian and Tinsley kept to themselves, not knowing what to do or say.


    ________________________________________________


    It had been past midnight when Kian slipped under the duvet, joining his wife on the bed after freshening up.


    "That was quite a show, huh?"


    He let out,ying t beside her. Tinsley kept her phone back on the nightstand. She was texting Madison about everything tonight.


    She got closer to her husband. He opened up his arm for her to get in. She slipped in,ying her head on his chest.


    "Cynthia drew the attention from you and Nathan to her and everything rest that followed after."


    Tinsley muttered, drawing circles over his naked chest. He chuckled.


    "Is that a bad thing?"


    She shook her head in denial. But she did not like the fact that if it had not happened, Kian would havended that punch on Nathan and things would have taken a u-turn altogether.


    "Then why are you not saying anything?"


    He questioned. She did not answer him right away and instead keptying in silence and peace.


    "I do not like you fighting people!"


    It was a statement that Kian understood very clearly that she meant it and did not like it at all.


    He did not dare say anything else. He kept quiet, running his fingers over his wife''s smooth red hairs.


    Nobody spoke another word after that. They remained static.


    "I still can''t hold the fact how much strong Pauline is. She had been strong ever since she married Daniel and had to maintain it. I know now why!"


    She spoke to herself. Kian could understand that. For a woman like Pauline who belonged from the middle ss, it was hard to stick in this upper ss.


    "My mother nor I would be ever as bold like her to speak that out like that. I could not even see or bear to see you with another woman that is not me."


    She let out, honestly, rising up to look at Kian''s eyes. Their eyes locked into each other.


    "Neither I you with another man!"


    Kian replied, still his eyes fixed on hers. She pecked his lips and then leaned back on his chest.


    It was then she got reminded of who was that woman, she had been meaning to ask, Kian was talking to the entire evening.

 Chapter 148 - HIDING A LIE!

    PRECAP


    "I always knew...always knew you were not fit to be his wife, ever."


    Cynthia started. Everyone remained silent, watching her rant everything upon Pauline as if it was her fault from the beginning.


    "Do not tell me how to be a good wife, Cynthia. If you were one, then your ex-husband would not havee to another woman...me to find love when you were both married!"


    Pauline retorted back in sass. Cynthia was fuming in anger by that time. She was a very tall woman, towering over Pauline.


    ________________________________________________


    "My mother nor I would be ever as bold like her to speak that out like that. I could not even see or bear to see you with another woman that is not me."


    She let out, honestly, rising up to look at Kian''s eyes. Their eyes locked into each other.


    "Neither I you with another man!"


    Kian replied, still his eyes fixed on hers. She pecked his lips and then leaned back on his chest.


    ________________________________________________


    The things that the woman told Kian had been ringing in Tinsley''s head for a while now.


    There was nothing to be panicked about. What she had told him or suggested to him was nothing wrong at all.


    But there was a fear in her head...in her conscience. That this baby fever was still very much present in her husband.


    Even though he said that he understood her. He understood her viewpoint, her decision to not have a child at the moment and that he was willing to wait...it did not sit well with him one bit.


    Amidst of those words that he spoke out, she could see it in his eyes, in his features, that deep down he still wanted it.


    And she did not know how long more...how much more fights in between them would clearly make him understand that they were not going to have a child anytime soon.


    Regardless of it all, she was also scared that he would go back to being distant with her and stopmunicating with her like thest time.


    She could stand anything in the world but that. The silent treatment was her kind of hell on earth and he knew that.


    Sometimes she felt like he used that to make her roll back to hismand. It was silly to think so but knowing Kian, a man who did not like being opposed, who knew?


    So with all these thoughts juggling in her head, she was thinking of a solution in between.


    Something that would not make her pregnant, not make him tell that she was not going to have a baby yet and not build another wall in between them for this issue.


    She had been sessfully deceiving her husband and working at Agatha''s cafe without any problem.


    Maybe that was the reason why she was waiting for Madison at the moment in the cafe to help her with this issue too.


    She checked the time on her phone and waited patiently after delivering the vani and chocte cupcakes to the counter.


    The bell rang in the door and she looked up to see Madison rushing in through the door.


    She waved at her and they both got into their all-time booth, near the garden side.


    "Hey!"


    She greeted Madi to which she only nodded her head. Madi looked exhausted.


    "Is everything alright?"


    Tinsley asked. Madi did not answer right away. She drank the ss of water served on the table.


    "Hell no!! I did not know dating a model will be this tiresome. Maybe I did know but I well did not think it through, you know h h h!!"


    Madi blurted out in one breathe. She did seem so worn out. Her hairs were dishevelled and her clothes were untidy too.


    She ordered some food for them and then waited for a few seconds before Madison asked Tinsley her reason for calling her.


    "I have a problem!"


    "I know! You do not call me if you don''t have one."


    Madison sassed. Tinsley narrowed her eyes at Madi questioning if she was being serious at that moment and when Madi did not blink, she knew that she was.


    Even though part of it was true. She did call Madi to visit her here whenever she had something going on.


    But regardless of it, she always kept track of her and Anna Maria through texts.


    "Kian is not over the baby thing and I m afraid that he is not going to stop until I m with child. I know you are going to say that I should tell him I don''t want it which I did. He just won''t back down, Madi. "


    Tinsley started and stopped to take a breath. Madison listened to her silently.


    "And I m tired of fighting with him. I just don''t know how to not get pregnant because we have a lot of unprotected sex and he would never use a condom so..."


    Madison cringed at thest part. She nodded her head, seeing and understanding how much stressed Tinsley was.


    "Then howe you are not pregnant yet??"


    Madison questioned since she mentioned about having lots of unprotected intercourse already.


    "I m not. I m on my period at the moment. And I make him finish in my mou...."


    "Ok! Ok! I do not need to hear that!"


    Madison stopped her right away. Tinsley blushed. She did not know Madi would shy off.


    "Fine! I get it. Why don''t you get on protection??"


    "But how??"


    Tinsley implored. She knew what Madi was suggesting but how could she get on protection without making her husband know about it??


    "Get an appointment with a gynaecologist and get your monthly contraception. Hide it from him just like you have been hiding about this job."


    Madi advised. Tinsley was sceptical at first about it. She was going to lie to her husband once again and did not know if it was the correct thing to do so.


    Her mind was in a state of frenzy. He did tell her that he was willing to wait but then why would he have unprotected sex with her if he was willing to wait??


    It was that question that made here to this point. She did not like lying one bit. She had not lied about such big things ever in her life.


    She did lie about clothes, money and stuff like that but she dide clean shortly about it all.


    Here the situation was different though. She was working behind her husband''s back even when he asked her to stop. And now she was going to lie to him again about such a gravious matter.


    But she was not left with any choices. Sex was inevitable and she was going to end up being pregnant anytime and to avoid it, this was the only way.


    So without any dy, she followed Madison''s advice and booked an appointment anonymously with a doctor in the city.


    Madi drove her to the hospital and after being checked, the doctor prescribed her monthly shots which were to be taken religiously every thirty days from the start.


    She was nervous throughout the journey. When the doctor asked her about her reason for taking the shots, she told the doctor the half-truth that they were not ready to have a baby yet when her husband actually was.


    Madison provided her credit card to Tinsley for purchasing the tablets so that Kian would note to know about it.


    Tinsley wanted to pay her back which Madi denied of. After buying her tablets for three months straight, they drove back to the town.


    Tinsley very carefully made her way inside the bedroom. She heard the shower running in the bathroom so she took that chance to find a secret spot where she could hide the pills.


    She walked around the bedroom in search of that one secret spot. She could not keep it near the bedside drawers as Kian kept hisptop there.


    She finally made her way inside the cupboard. She thrashed her clothes to one side and wrapped the tablets in a white handkerchief before shoving it in between the stack of her neatly folded clothes.


    She knew that he hardly came here so she was safe. She just had to make sure to take the shots regrly without making him notice she did.


    When the bathroom door clicked opened, she jerked back and saw Kian staring at her with narrow eyes.


    For a moment, she thought he saw it all...he saw everything but when he strode forward in her direction and mmed his lips onto hers, she sighed in relief.


    She kissed him back with the same fervour, not holding back as she had been for a few weeks, afraid of being knocked up.


    He picked her up and walked them towards the bed. She voluntarily scooted up, spreading her thighs apart for her husband to take her...hiding a lie!

 Chapter 149 - LYING TO HER HUSBAND? SHE FELT AWFUL!

    "Fuck!!!Fuck!!! Don''t Stop!!"


    Tinsley screamed as he sped in and out of her furiously. She held onto the bedsheet tightly and gritted her teeth not to shot out loud anymore and get the neighboursing onto them.


    Kian took hold of her legs, putting them on his shoulders and resumed his movements in and out of her small opening.


    The entire room revolved around her head before she felt him twitching inside of her anding hard and fast, groaning and cursing deep inside of her.


    He felt himself drained out as he fell onto the bed, beside her, both huffing and panting for air.


    He tilted his head to see her, naked as the day she was born,ying right by his side.


    Her chest heaving up and down, littered with his love bites everywhere. He looked proud of himself.


    Tinsley reached her hand down to rub her core. She swiped off some of his ejactions on her finger and raised it up to her eyes to see.


    Every time, she felt anxious about him emptying himself inside of her, even though she could not stop him from doing so, she reminded herself that the pills were there for her.


    She took her shots regrly and it had been working just fine. She had been getting her periods regrly without fail and it kept her sane.


    Kian saw how she was eyeing her finger, smeared with both of their ejactions. Sex had been crazy for these past two months.


    He took her almost daily. Sometimes even twice in a day and she did notin one bit about it either just like she used to do a couple of months ago.


    Every time, she would give herself to him without a fight or protest. She seemed as much as into the sex as he was.


    "That''s us!"


    Tinsley turned her head to sideways to look at her husband. She did not understand what he just said.


    "What??"


    "That''s you and me!"


    Kianmented, pointing at her finger. Tinsley frowned and shook her head.


    "You are rting us with our ejaction?"


    Tinsley questioned, not being able to get him at all.He nodded his head,ing closer to her.


    Tinsley pushed him back to his ce and got up. She tied her red messy hair in a bun and turned to look at him.


    His penis was lying t on his lower abdomen. Her eyes were kind of glued to him thinking that just moments ago he was inside of her.


    Kian noticed it and smirked. Before something else could happen, she reverted her eyes off of him and patted him on his muscr thighs to get up and go freshen himself up.


    Kian sighed and finally obliged. He headed straight inside the bathroom, stark naked for his wife to watch him behind.


    The moment he closed the door of the bathroom and Tinsley heard the shower on, she got up on her feet and walked towards the small closet.


    She thrashed her hanging clothes aside and then took out the white handkerchief. She unwrapped the knot and took one pill out.


    She kept the rest back inside the closet and went towards the bedside table to have the pill with the ss of water kept on it.


    She closed her eyes in relief forpleting her shots for this month too without being caught.


    With that being done, she bent down to wear back her maxi lying on the floor after Kian had undressed her before.


    She strode out of their bedroom and into the kitchen to start cooking breakfast. She kept the baked cakes fromst night aside and hid them with her coat over them so that when Madi came, she would just collect her coat over the basket and Kian won''t be able to see it.


    She had been doing it for three months now and had gotten pretty good in it. Kian hardly noticed any anomaly.


    She was d for the first time in her life that things were going the way she wanted.


    She was earning, contributing to the household, her rtionship with her husband was going smooth and they were finally in a ce where arguments were negligible.


    Kian got out of the shower and wore his clothes for the day before joining her in the kitchen and having their breakfast together.


    Once done, Tinsley freshened up and got ready to leave. She came out dressed in a summer frock and bent down to collect her coat along with the basket.


    Kian looked up at his wife, sitting on the sofa in the living room, hisptop opened for work.


    "I will leave now!"


    She dered. He nodded. She walked up to him and dropped a kiss on his right cheek as a goodbye.


    "Don''t wait up for lunch, I m going on a brunch with Madi and Lana."


    "Of course! You told me that five times by now."


    Kian stated. She shrugged off. She just did not want him to forget and keep waiting for her for lunch as he didst few times.


    "I love you! Bye!"


    She said and then clicked opened the door heading out, closing it behind her leaving Kian all by himself in the house.


    Life was going smooth. There was no room for fights or reckless drama. This past month had been a st.


    She was being the perfect wife, a husband could ever ask for. She cooked, cleaned and satisfied him on the bed without a full stop in between any of those.


    What could he ask for more?? Was there anything more he could hope for??


    The answer to the question was a wide deep void. He still could not bring himself up to tell her he loved her too.


    Every time he tried or thought of confessing it just for the sake of her, something inside of him would hold him back up.


    He could not lie and say that what Valeria said to him long ago about her father being the reason for his mother''s demise...he could not still to this date unheard the entire ranting.


    Maybe...maybe it was one of the many reasons why he could not yet bring it in himself to return her ''I love you'' back to her.


    What was most disturbing was that earlier when he would not say it back every time she did, her face would change colour to sadness but in these past months, nothing in her seemed different after he would not say a word to her after her confession.


    She would seem so unfazed by it that just after saying that she loved him, she would not wait for a few seconds like she used to do before for him to say something, instead, she would get up and go to work.


    It was as if she had gotten used to him not repeating it to her or as if ''I love you'' was the mostmon confession for her which did not mean much to her.


    Regardless of it all, he was happy. She was happy too. He could tell and see that. They were both happy as a couple. And that was all that mattered!


    ________________________________________________


    Meanwhile, in the restaurant, Tinsley, Madi and Lana waited impatiently for their food to arrive.


    They were all chatting about the story of their life so far. Lana nagged about how exhausted she was after her London Fashion Week a few days ago.


    Tinsley told them about how things were at best in her life at the moment. It sure was tiring to keep up to it all but she would not change anything of it.


    Madison mostly kept quiet as her mind had been fogged after that kiss she and John had shared.


    She had been avoiding full talks ever since afraid that her cheating shenanigans would drop out of her mouth in one stroke.


    As soon as the food arrived, they all dug onto their tes. They did not talk much while eating as they were all hungry.


    "Actually, next week, I have nned a small getaway to my brother''s small ind in Nuare. Tinsley, maybe you can join me and Madi??"


    Lana offered. Madi dropped her fork on the table hearing it. She was not informed about the getaway at all.


    "What getaway??"


    "Sorry babes! I forgot to mention it to you. I mean I have been working so hard and you almost followed me twice around the globe so I thought both of us deserved a break, you know so..."


    "Fine!! Fine!! I get it!"


    Madi interrupted Lana. Lana smiled at Madi for understanding her.


    "But I have the meeting scheduled for John to meet Kian finally this week so.."


    "He is my brother, I will ask him to postponed it!"


    Lana suggested. Madi dropped the topic knowing how stubborn Lana was by nature.


    "So Tinsley, what do you say??"


    Tinsley eyed them being clueless. She did not know if her husband would allow her to go.


    "What about Kian??"She asked, hesitantly.


    "Not like you listen to him anyway! "


    Madi reamrked.


    It was the truth but every time lying to her husband felt awful !

 Chapter 150 - "THAT LITTLE BITCH!"

    PRECAP


    She was nervous throughout the journey. When the doctor asked her about her reason for taking the shots, she told the doctor the half-truth that they were not ready to have a baby yet when her husband actually was.


    Madison provided her credit card to Tinsley for purchasing the tablets so that Kian would note to know about it.


    Tinsley wanted to pay her back which Madi denied of. After buying her tablets for three months straight, they drove back to the town.


    Tinsley very carefully made her way inside the bedroom. She heard the shower running in the bathroom so she took that chance to find a secret spot where she could hide the pills.


    ________________________________________________


    "So what do you have to say?"


    Tinsley asked, turning around to look at her husband while washing the dishes at the same time.


    Once she returned from the brunch, she had been pestering her husband to let her go with Madi and Lana in this mini-vacation.


    She hadined about how she was not allowed to go on such kinds of trips since her childhood.


    With her parents, there was no chance she could disobey them but she stated that he was not her father and that he was going to understand.


    She had yed all of her cards so well that there was no room left for Kian to hold her back in any regard.


    Madi and Lana had taught her well before dropping her home so she was strictly following to it and hoping that Kian would agree.


    "Where are they taking you again??"


    Kian asked, not really liking the idea of being home alone without his wife for a damn week.


    "In a small ind nuware. Common!!! Kian!!! Please!!"


    She urged him, staring at him with those eyes that he could never deny her of anything.


    Kian groaned out in frustration. There was no way he was going to let go of his wife but the situation where he could win over her cute self was slowly and slowly diminishing.


    She stomped on her feet like a child, holding her eyes onto him till he gave into her.


    He closed his eyes and sighed. Even though it was horrible torture on his part. He let it happen. He had never seen her asking for anything from him ever since they got married.


    He could not offer a proper wedding either a honeymoon, it was the least he could do by allowing her to go on a vacation with her friends after everything that she had been through.


    "Fine!!! You can go!!"


    And Tinsley jumped onto his bones, squealing in happiness. He almost lost his bnce and held onto the kitchen counter to hold both of them steady.


    She encircled her arms around his neck, mumbling how much she loved him and littered kisses all over the backside of his neck.


    He wrapped his hands around her waist and twirled her in a circle. She giggled, holding tightly onto his shoulder, afraid that they could end up falling hard on the ground.


    When he stopped, their eyes got interlocked. She leaned in and nted her lips onto his. They both closed their eyes, savouring each other''s lips.


    "God only knows how much difficult it will be for me to live without you."


    Kian mumbled out, honestly. He had gotten so used to being with her that it was now impossible for him to imagine a world without her.


    "I love you, Kian Randall!"


    She confessed, peeking into his eyes with so much adoration and love that he felt himself melting in her presence.


    It was at that moment, she suddenly felt that guy wrecking pain on her abdomen. She got off from his hold and ran towards the bathroom in their bedroom.


    Kian followed after her, worried. Tinsley sat down on the toilet seat, closing the door behind her.


    "Tinsley?? Is everything alright?? Open the door!!"


    Kian knocked on the door. She looked down and saw the blood. Instead of panicking, she sighed in relief.


    After a few secondster, she opened the door. Kian eyed her with concern, not knowing what had happened in there.


    "I m fine!!! It''s just periods!"


    She said, smiling at him and then walked past him towards the bed to rest for the night.


    The news made Kian stand on his spot for a while, trying to process the fact that even after all the unprotected sex they had together, she was still not pregnant.


    He did not want to rush her but it also rmed him that if something was wrong with her or him maybe??


    It had been a month or two since that fundraising event and she had gotten all her periods on time.


    And he would not lie and say that he was not affected by it. Tinsley called her husband to bed. He turned around to watch her patting his side of the bed asking him to join her.


    Which he did in a while after changing into his nightclothes She happily dropped the phone on the nightstand after texting Madi and Lana that she was allowed to go.


    Kian got under the duvet. She scooted closer to him andid on his chest.


    "This week we would not have been involved in many activities either so I should go with the girls, right?"


    She implored, rubbing his chest, indicating it to their sexual life in her periods.


    Even though a few times, they had had prative sex but mostly she would please him by blowing him.


    He was not grossed out about her blood but sheined about the slight difort so they stopped doing it during her time of the month.


    "When will you return??"


    He questioned, pulling her more close to his body. She snuggled against him and answered in a week.


    Kian cursed in disappointment. But Tinsley had the most brilliant way of making him feel good.


    Her hands slipped inside the duvet and sneaked under his boxer. Kian stiffened when he felt his wife''s hand on his manhood.


    "I think then I should not waste time in making it up to you."


    Tinsley whispered, ncing at him and then getting up to pull his boxer out and leaned in to kiss the tip of his penis.


    Kian closed his eyes at the delirium feeling. Momentster, he was holding onto his wife''s red hairs in a fist fucking her delectable mouth.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley was done packing. She only packed minimal clothes for the vacay. She made sure to stuff in extra sets of underwear due to her periods.


    Kian entered their bedroom and dropped her cup of coffee on the nightstand.


    "They areing here to pick you?"


    He implored, leaning on the bed watching his wife getting ready. She was dressed in her casual yellow frock and was applying lip balm on her lips.


    "No! I will be waiting in the cafe!"


    Tinsley answered. Kian nodded. Once, she was done, she walked up to where he was standing and kissed him, cupping his face on her both hands.


    "I love you! I will be back at the weekend!"


    "Hmm"


    He just hummed, eyes fixed on hers. She pecked his lips one more time but the next moment, he held her face and deepened the kiss.


    He sucked in her lips, making her legs give up on her. She leaned more onto his body.


    There was a kind of urgency the way he was kissing her as if afraid to let her go, lose her.


    His hands slid down and squeezed her breasts, making her moan out, wanting more of his touch.


    He picked her small self up. She hopped onto him wrapping her legs around his waist. He walked them up to the nearby wall.


    His lips dropped open-mouthed kissed all over her exposed skin area on her neck. She leaned away more to give him ess.


    He pulled the strings of herce frock and the shoulder got off, exposing her bra to him.


    His movements were so hectic, in a haste, he pulled her breasts out of her bra and began to roughly suck and lick her nipples.


    "Fuck!! Kian!!"


    Tinsley whimpered, not being able to control herself at all. She was putty in his hand. She could explode any moment just by his actions on her breasts.


    But the moment was stopped by the crazy honking of a car, downstairs which waster followed by banging on their door.


    Tinsley pushed him away after a while when they heard Madi''s voice, screaming at her toe down.


    "That little bitch!"


    Kian cursed, annoyed for breaking his moment. Tinsley could not help her littleughter.


    Kian eyed her and whispered that they were going to resume where they stopped once she would return.


    The door opened to reveal an angry Madison and apologising Lana for her girlfriend''s behaviour.


    Kian helped them inunching Tinsley''s luggage in their Audi. After one final goodbye kiss, Madi eventually started the engine.

    "Can you stop around the corner?? I need to buy my shots for theing month."


    Tinsley requested, sitting on the back to Madison. She Parker the Audi nearby the shop cum pharmacy.


    "Why buy now??"


    "Because I might forget when I return and you know..."


    Tinsley exined, collecting her bag to get out. Lana tilted her head to the back and asked.


    "Are men that insatiable??"


    "You have no idea!"


    Tinsley muttered under her breathe. If Kian had the whole day, she could bet he could fuck her the entire of that day, doing nothing but that.


    Sometimes she felt so sore, so used up. Her body would ache all over but it was a good kind of ache that reminded you of how the ache came to existence.


    "Madi might know! Right babes?"


    Lana implored, excitedly. She knew that Madison had her fair share of men too.


    Madi was taken off guard by that question. She got nervous and her reply was something no one was expecting.


    "You do know that I m bi, right??"


    It came like an outburst. Both Lana and Tinsley were taken a bit back by that kind of response.


    "Of course, babes! I know!"


    Lana mumbled, after a little holdup. Tinsley finally got out of the Audi to get her shots leaving both Madi and Lana alone.


    "Madi, I did not mean to offend you with mentioning about the men..."


    Lana confessed. Madi sighed, closing her eyes. Lana did nothing wrong, she knew that.


    But the guilt in her was eating her insides. She could not help the memory of the kiss they had shared...her and John.


    It was disturbing that even after cheating on her loyal girlfriend with her brother...she wanted it more. She wanted to repeat the mistake.


    It was that that was making her restless and irritated. She felt sorry, deep regret and she knew that if she came out clean which she should...everything would be destroyed.


    Her worst fear was to lose Lana altogether for good this time and she was not ready at all for that.


    "It''s fine!!"


    She said, and Lana nodded her head. Their eyes interlocked at that moment.


    Meanwhile, Tinsley waited as the pharmacist would process her sale. Nathan approached her.


    "Hey??"


    "Hi!!?"


    Tinsley greeted, not having any idea why every time she only had to run over him.


    "I m here to get some meds for uncle."


    Nathan said, feeling a bit awkward after what happened that evening. She nodded.


    "Is he alright now?" Tinsley enquired.


    "Yeah! He kind of is on bed rest!"


    Nathan answered. By the time, they could exchange more words, Tinsley''s sale was possessed.


    Nathan''s eyes lingered on her contraceptive can. Tinsley held it and walked out of there immediately.


    "What took you so long?"


    Madi questioned as soon as Tinsley got inside the car, closing the door.


    "I ran into Nathan and had a little chat!"


    Tinsley replied, tying her seatbelt. Madi started the engine, moving out of there to the airport for their vacay.


    ________________________________________________


    Kian could not let go of the thought of Tinsley repeatedly getting her periods.


    He was trying to work on hisptop but the thought was constantly hitting his mind nonstop.


    What if something was wrong with him??


    It was the most disturbing thought of all. He did not want to start with it but could not let go of it either.


    It made him finally get up and drive to the nearest clinic to check his fertility order.


    He knew that it was stupid but still he needed to know if anything was put of the normal order.


    So when he waited on line with his appointment, Nathan saw him and smirked walking up to him.


    When Kian saw him, he shook his head in disapproval. Of all the people in the town, it had to be him that he ran into.


    "Fancy seeing you in a clinic!"


    Nathan joked. Kian remained silent and looked elsewhere.


    "I m here to get uncle''s prescription for his mew medicines. What about you??"


    Nathan implored. He just liked to irritate Kian as much as he could.


    "What about you??"


    "Seriously?"


    Kian gritted his teeth, ring at him. He did not understand why he would have to always pop up out of nowhere and then start conversing as if they were mates.


    "I saw your wife a few days back."


    And it got Kian''s full attention. It had been three days since Tinsley left and they had been face-timing regrly.


    "She was buying some medicine...what was it??"


    Nathan scratched the back of his head trying to remember it. In the between, it made Kian think what medicine was Tinsley buying from the pharmacy without him knowing anything about it.


    Was something wrong again??


    And the thought made his heartbeat erratically out of concern for his wife, if something was really happening to her and she was not ready to tell him yet.


    "Oh...I bet it had to be some kind of contraception?"


    And Nathan dropped the bomb in the middle of the desert making Kian immediately look back at him.


    He could not process the words he heard. He nced at Nathan smirking at him and then the nurse called out to him for his appointment.


    Kian followed the nurse behind, his head was in a frenzied state at that moment.


    The doctor ran him through the procedure and gave him a stic can to get his sample of semen in it.


    He was walked to an empty room and the helper closed the door leaving him all alone with his thoughts.


    He unzipped his pants and started jerking himself off but Nathan''s words kept ringing like a siren in his head.


    He sighed not being able to finish himself off. He was not even getting hard.


    He was tired after trying for a few couples of times and failing miserably every time.


    He rested for a moment and then pulled out his phone from his pant back pocket and swiped for the recent naked video of his wife.


    She was unaware most of the time whenever he would click a naked picture of her while sleeping or click a video to capture their moment in the sex.


    It was not something he was into. He never did something like this before meeting his wife.


    She just always pushed him to do something new. It was as if a backup for him whenever she was out of reach to him.


    In the video, he was eating her out in between her legs. The phone was set on the bed upside down.


    Her moans, biting lips and the way her eyes rolled around her socket made hime almost immediately.


    He collected it all in the stic can and wore his pants back. He went to the washroom to wash himself up and then waited for the helper to collect the sample.


    Two days went by in a blur and he was missing his wife furiously. The house seemed so lonely without her. Her presence made it livable.


    Even though Nathan''s words kept disturbing his mind, this time around he was going to put his trust in his wife.


    So when the test results dropped on the mails, he was taken aback by it. It showed he was ny-six per cent straight fertile with a green mark that he was indeed fertile.


    His sperm count was more than average and then it started to hit him off. If everything was fine with him and so was with his wife because after the heartbreaking miscarriage, they went to check up on her health and there the doctor said everything was fine with her.


    And it was that thought that made him go check himself up and now that the results were out, Nathan''s words hit him hard.


    Was Tinsley really taking contraception without letting know about it??


    He collected his car keys and drove straight to the nearby pharmacy around the corner.


    He got out and waited in line impatiently. A small town with a pharmacy with fewer counters made it impossible to get service right away.


    When his turn came, he nced at the old middle-aged woman. She red at him when he did not respond right away.


    "Uhm...I m here for my wife, Tinsley Randall. Is she buying some sort of medicine from here??"


    He questioned, hoping that the old woman would oblige and give him the correct answer.


    "We are not allowed to disclose seller''s information, sir!"


    "But I m her husband!!"


    Kian retorted back. He was getting out of his mind. It was then he thought of twisting around to get what he wanted.


    "She sent me to buy for her but...I...uh forgot what the name was??"


    The woman narrowed her eyes at him. Kian acted like he really did forget the name of the medicine his wife asked him to buy.


    "Did she say the regr?"


    "Oh yes!! The regr!"


    Kian eximed. The woman processed the sale and when she handed him the bottle of the pills, it blew his fucking mind off!

 Chapter 152 - THE HOUSE IS SET ON FIRE!

    It was raining outside and she kept checking her phone, sitting on the porch, with sadness.


    "Hey??? Common in!!"


    Tinsley finally got up and walked inside the vi. Madi and Lana were setting up the table for an early dinner at five.


    They could not do much the entire day due to heavy rain all over the ind. And it also had been two days since shest heard from her husband.


    It was weird because ever since theynded, he would call and text her daily. Some days even more than five times in an hour interval in between.


    She had called him but it went to his voicemail and he did not even bother to check her texts.


    It was making her worried what if something had happened?? It was making her restless to hear his voice at least once.


    Lana noticed the dismissal look in her and assumed that Kian had not returned her calls.


    "He did not answer??" She asked, leaning on the table.


    Tinsley shook her head in negative. Madison finally bought the sd and they all sat down together to dine.


    "It''s weird how he could not stop calling you, interrupting our vacay and now altogether he just went off??? No call...not even a text!?"


    Lana said, pouring food on her te and they all passed the bread around the table.


    "He must have gotten busy focused on his work."


    Madi remarked. Tinsley did not respond to any of that and silently started munching on her food.


    "Tin, we are going off tomorrow anyway so don''t worry too much and enjoy the food!"


    Lanamented. Tinsley nodded and the rest of the evening was spent in silence, watching the storm take over the ind.


    ________________________________________________


    Kian furiously walked back inside their house and stormed straight to their bedroom.


    He looked around trying to figure out where she must have hidden it from him for so long.


    He started going through all the drawers, messing the bedsheet up, looking under the bed, checking the cabs in the bathroom and then throwing away all the clothes out of the closet.


    It was after that he found a small tied up white handkerchief. He opened it and saw the can of the pill, the same one the receptionist gave to him.


    It was empty meaning she had been taking it regrly and even went to buy another and that was when Nathan saw her.


    Not just that, he saw that there were bundles of cash inside the handkerchief too.


    It only made him wonder what else she had been doing to earn money like that and hide it all from him.


    He felt so defeated and vulnerable at that time. It was as if there was a rush of emotions in him in a full booming force.


    He sat down on the floor, in a curled up position. All these times...all these times when he had a fear in him that he could be infertile...it was eating him up.


    But despite all of that he kept a straight face and went on. And now that the truth was out, he did not know if he should be happy or upset about it.


    Never in his damn life...he thought that she could go on lying to him like that!!


    Never!!! Ever!!


    He knew that everything was a mess, they got married because of her safety. Hell!! He did not even think twice before tying up his life with her.


    And here she was faking it all along...faking to be the perfect wife he thought she was.


    Was she not happy with what they had??


    She told him so many times that she was though. She swore to him that she was. She did not need anything else but to be with him.


    Suddenly, Nathan''s words rang in his mind. How she would get over her infatuation soon enough and think of leaving him?


    It was then it all made sense. Everything made sense. Why she would not settle down...settle down with him.


    Because he had nothing to offer her. He had nothing to offer her but poverty and a life ahead with poverty.


    Bringing a child would make her fate sealed with himpletely so she was avoiding it altogether to get pregnant with his child.


    The truth was bitter but it was the truth in the end. For the first time, after everything, when he finally decided to give in...emerge himselfpletely in this rtionship and try...it had to be the end.


    He should not have...never have done it. Women...not all but the ones who were born with everything, you could not trust them to be satisfied with life if they can''t have it all.


    Perhaps his aunt was right about one thing. He thought. The one thing that this would notst.


    And it did not either. He stood up and collected his car keys, got down the stairs, out of the house and into the car, driving to Agatha''s cafe.


    The bell rang as he pushed open the door and the old woman smiled at him from the counter. He walked up to her.


    "Kian, son!! How have you been?"


    Agatha greeted, cheerfully. Kian checked the counter that showcased the cupcakes and it was confirmed that even after his disapproval, Tinsley continued to work for the cafe.


    "I have...been fine! Thanks, Agatha!"


    He replied in a monotone and decided to get out of here. But the old woman stopped her.


    "Ahh!! Why the hurry?? At least taste one of your wife''s cupcakes. She makes them so delicious that people like them so much. They keeping for more!"


    Agatha offered but Kian declined, saying that he had an emergency. He strode out of the cafe and got inside his Range Rover.


    Out of nowhere, he started hitting on his steering wheel repeatedly. It was as if he was possessed. His eyes screamed furry and his knuckles turned red from constantly hitting the hard wheel.


    In the end, a scream of dejection, being deceived, spurted out of his throat.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison stuffed the trunk with their bags. Tinsley carried hers and Lana helped her getting inside the trunk.


    "So we are all set??"


    Madison asked, closing the trunk. Lana nodded. Tin kept checking her phone, absentmindedly.


    "Let''s go then before the storm revives back!"


    Madi said and they all got in the side of the car, driving away to the private remote airport.


    Throughout the journey, Lana and Madi chatted nonstop about what they did and could have done if not for the storming in their way.


    It was a fifteen minutes drive to the airport and Tinsley sat restlessly throughout the entire journey hoping, praying that everything was safe back at home.


    When they had reached the airport, the Karvinshky private jet was in a halt for them. The guards came forward to collect their luggage.


    Within a few minutes, the ne was started and it took off for Richmond as fast it could due to the approaching thunderstorm.


    Tinsley with a morose face watched out the window. Something inside of her was telling her, screaming at her that everything was not alright...everything was going to change.


    ________________________________________________


    Meanwhile, everything was already a mess.


    Clothes littered everywhere, photos turned upside down, ss vases broken into pieces...


    Kian smoked the cigarette and walked inside the bedroom. He collected all her clothes and for a second, he felt like burning everything to shades.


    But did not. He did not have the kind of money to buy her all back so he stuffed them inside the duffle bag and threw off the rest in the dustbin.


    He did not need anyone. Not when they did not want to be with him. He was doing just fine when Serena left too and he would be doing alright even after this.


    Everything was set, the fire had burnt the house. The ashes were collected and been waited for the owner to pick her belongings.


    ________________________________________________


    The nended in the private airport. A separate Mercedes waited for Tinsley to get her back home.


    Lana and Madi bid her farewell. Hugs and kisses were exchanged. Tinsley waved at them as she got inside the car and the driver started the engine.


    He waited patiently for her, leaning on the balcony, smoking out, watching her arrival.


    She impatiently stared outside of the window as the car passed by the trees, shops, cars on its way.


    His phone vibrated for the nth time kept on the kitchen counter. His mind was too upied, to hear the ringing sound.


    She dejectedly kept her phone down as it went to the voicemail for the nth time again.


    As the journey neared, her heart started beating furiously against her chest nonstop. Her hands started to shake as she saw the turn to the town.


    He saw the far end ck Mercedes making its way in the driveway. He walked inside.


    She stepped out of the car and made her way inside, before she could knock, the door hung opened, and their eyes interlocked.

    PRECAP


    "I saw your wife a few days back."


    And it got Kian''s full attention. It had been three days since Tinsley left and they had been face-timing regrly.


    "She was buying some medicine...what was it??"


    Nathan scratched the back of his head trying to remember it.


    Was something wrong again??


    And the thought made his heartbeat erratically out of concern for his wife, if something was really happening to her and she was not ready to tell him yet.

    ________________________________________________


    TO THE PRESENT


    He saw the far end ck Mercedes making its way in the driveway. He walked inside.


    She stepped out of the car and made her way inside, before she could knock, the door hung opened, and their eyes interlocked.


    Before any words could be exchanged, he dropped the bags on her feet. She tilted her head to look down and within the sh of a second, the door was closed on her face.


    He shut the door in a thud sound and then silence bloomed before her voices of asking him to open the door and knocking on it started.


    "Kian!!! What is this?? Please open the door!!!"


    She whispered, screamed. As the minutes passed by, her hopes were getting diminished if he would even open it.


    What the hell even had happened?? She thought.


    She had no idea what had urred for him...her husband to kick her out of their house like that.


    Her eyes were already tear strained. After being so exhausted from the journey and not getting a second''s rest, here she was locked out of her own house.


    "I beg you, please!! What did I do?? At least tell me that...give me a moment to exin...please!!"


    She closed her eyes defeated and then checked her surrounding to see if anyone had seen the entire scene.


    But luckily there was no one. But it won''t b long before her next-door neighbour would know.


    Amidst of her begging, crying voices, he sat down on the sofa of their living room with a bottle of Scotch and started drinking straight from the bottle.


    Tinsley tried thinking about what to do. She just could not leave like that...not like that him at all.


    It must have been a gravious misunderstanding or maybe...maybe Valeria told him the secret that she exposed to her in her dungeon.


    Her heart thumped in her chest and she thought of how to get inside. Constantly hitting on the door, begging him to let her in for the past half-hour was not working.


    She knew what kind of man Kian was. And it made her afraid that what if he would not understand her when she would try to make him understand.


    He was a stubborn man...so so stubborn!! Tears flew out freely from her eyes as her mind became foggy.


    It was then it hit her head about the extra key. She stepped away from the mat and bent down to slide the mat off and found the key.


    She closed her eyes in relief and stood up hastily, and started to unlock the door.


    Kian heard the ruffling sound in the door but looked away, not giving attention and it hung opened.


    Tinsley''s eyes raised up to her forehead as she saw the condition of the house. It was a literal mess...as if a storm had passed right through it.


    She turned sideways to see her husband, drinking away. The sight pierced her crying heart.


    She quickly strode towards him and sat on her knees before him, earning his attention.


    Their eyes got locked for a moment. His bloodshot red ones with her watery ones.


    And then as if disgusted by her very presence, he pushed her off from him. She fell on her back, hitting her elbow on the table nearby.


    He stood up to leave. She stood up too and followed him. He made his way inside the kitchen and opened up another bottle of alcohol.


    "What did I do??"


    She questioned, straight forward, standing before him, the kitchen counter between them.


    "What wrong did I do??"


    She stressed. She could bear it all, bear his anger, his wrath but not looking at him like that.


    So down...so morose as if dead inside. His eyes were silent as if a part of him had faded away.


    "Tell me so that I can fix it...I swear to God, I will try to..."


    She requested him, tears making her vision all foggy. He continued to peek at her without looking away.


    "Please!!"


    She begged, her voice breaking at the end. She muffled her sobs as she could not get to process the man...it was the same man she had left a week ago.


    "I m sorry!!! I m so sorry!! I should not have done it...just, please...please talk to me, Kian!!"


    She did not know what she was speaking out, what her mouth was uttering out to him.


    All she wanted at that moment was for him to speak up to her. At least say a word out...or vent it all out to her.


    He walked past her, taking the bottle off. She held his hand, stopping him. He turned around and smashed the bottle into pieces.


    Tinsley screamed in fear, leaving his hand, walking backwards. He yelled out.


    "You fucking lying bitch!!!"

 Chapter 154 - HIS SELFISH WIFE!

    Tinsley screamed in fear, leaving his hand, walking backwards. He yelled out.


    "You fucking lying bitch!!!"


    Their eyes interlocked. His voice roared in the room. It made her jerk backwards. The broken ss pieces of the bottle lying all over the floor.


    Tinsley looked down and then back at him. He strode forward, she tried to stop him but he did not bother and walked over the ss pieces and made his way towards her.


    He stopped right before her. His hot breath fanning over her face. There was silence but it soon evaded away when she tried to touch his face.. He stopped her, holding her hand down.


    "You really thought you could get away lying like that??"


    He asked her. She remained silent yet not knowing what she had done to let hell broke loose all over them.


    "For a second you made me think that I had fucking problem!!!"


    Kian went on. He watched over her crying messed up face, peeking at him through her watery eyes.


    "I thought...you...were the one!"


    His eyes turned emotional and it made Tinsley giddy. She had never heard him admit something like that.


    He raised his hand to cup her face. He still could not look at her like that but she had hurt him bad.


    Of all the things...he could not ever settle with a lier. A liar would always lie to cover up more lies and it bes hard to pick out which one was the truth and which one was not!


    But then he turned around to leave. Tinsley held his hand back, stopping him.


    "Please!!"


    She sobbed, tears pouring out of her eyes nonstop. She could not bear to lose him...No! No!


    It would mean the end of her entire life! She had been never living until he came and then just like that, he could not just leave her...


    "Why did you do it, then??"


    He implored in a soft voice. Tinsley licked her lips, not knowing what did she do.


    "I never forced you to be with me...hell! I ruined my life to save you!!! Then why??"


    It hurt her...his words. It hurt her straight in her heart. She ruined his life??


    "I don''t know...I don''t know what I did??"


    She cried out like a child. He shook his head in dismissal, not being able to take in her words.


    He left her there in the living room. She sat down on the floor without care, crying out, holding her chest.


    He came in, she looked up from his feet to his face. He threw away her medicine can and all the money that she had earned from the bakery.


    Her facial colour changed. She held the stic can of the shots a d looked up at him.


    Kian cruelly smirked at her and bent down to her level. Their faces were almost touching.


    Tinsley was still in shock that he hade to find out her secrets like that. Kian held her jaw with his forefinger.


    "The secrets out, now princess! Stop fucking acting!"


    He said and walked away. Tinsley took a moment or so to analyze the entire situation.


    She had thought that something very bad had happened. She thought that Valeria had told him about what she narrated to him in the dungeon.


    She thought that something very gravious had happened for him to react like that.


    But then he had been meaning about this...her secret all this time??


    She rubbed her tears away and got up. She walked up to him. He turned to look back at her.


    "I was meaning to tell you..."


    "Oh when??"


    He interrupted her with a mocking face.


    "When I would have been ready.."


    "Ready with your divorce paper?"


    "What??? Kian, are you crazy??"


    She could not believe hisments. From where did the divorcing topics always fly out whenever things would take a little u-turn?


    "Yes?? Maybe I was...thinking to settle with an heiress without the name and money!!"


    Kian reverted at her. And it was making Tinsley annoyed of the way he was behaving a little by little.


    "You know that I do not care about money!!!"


    "Then why work in the bakery even for a few cents if you are not into money??"


    "Because I wanted to help you in running the household and you would not let me!!"


    She answered back. Kian rolled his eyes at her.


    "Did I ask for your fucking help??"


    Tinsley was about to reply back but then he stroke back right away.


    "Fine!!! That''s about the money but what about the pills?? Those fucking contraception??"


    He questioned and Tinsley was ready to give him a piece of his mind. She knew that it was never her...his stubbornness led her to go and have those pills and hide them away from him because she knew this was how he was going to react if she had approached him.


    "Because you would not let go of vetting pregnant when I clearly told you I was not READY!!"


    She yelled thest part. He was a bit taken back to watch her lose her temper.


    "I was not ready but you kept having unprotected sex and you do not have to tell me for me to know what you were aiming at, Kian...I was not ready and that led me to take the pills and not telling you???


    Because I knew that this was how you were going to react so that''s why..."


    She exined to him in one breathe. He kept looking at her in monotone not being able to take his eyes off of her.


    And for the very first time, he saw in her something he had never seen her. Being selfish!!!


    He had not known her to be the one only thinking about herself throughout their marriage but he did it today.


    And the irony was how he had been selfless with his whole life to save her fucking life!

 Chapter 155 - HE SAW HER IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT!

    " I was not ready but you kept having unprotected sex and you do not have to tell me for me to know what you were aiming at, Kian...I was not ready and that led me to take the pills and not telling you???


    Because I knew that this was how you were going to react so that''s why..."


    And for the very first time, he saw in her something he had never seen her. Being selfish!!!


    "So you think you did nothing wrong? "


    He interviewed. He wanted to know if she felt guilty or at least a little bit of recourse of lying to him like that.


    She did not answer him right and kept ncing at him the same way he was doing to her..


    And thinking for a while, she realized that there was nothing wrong she did.


    All she did was for them to avoid some unwanted problems in the future, they were not ready for to face.


    She shook her head in negative and told him that she did not feel like doing anything wrong.


    And that was all he needed to hear. She was not the ideal, innocent, naive woman he had been thinking her of.


    Tinsley held him back. Kian only narrowed his eyes at her.


    "Will you stop leaving and tell me what the actual problem is, Kian??"


    "I know we both did something wrong and it was not fair on my part to lie to you but you left me with no choice..."


    She tried to exin it to him. He did not speak right away and kept listening to what she had to say.


    "So why are you exining yourself if you think you did nothing wrong?"


    He implored her, stopping her altogether.


    "I do think I did not do anything that big enough for you to react the way you are doing right now...taking over the whole house as if..."


    She said and stopped when she saw that he was being unbelievably silent. It got to her only then that something was more wrong than just that...


    "If you are done...then let go of my hand!"


    Kian remarked, pointing to her tight hold on his right wrist. It made Tinsley flutter her eyes up at him in a questioning expression.


    "There''s more to it, isn''t it??"


    "Apart from making your husband take a fertility test then no?"


    Kian replied and it astonished her by the piece of news.


    Fertility test??


    It made her mouth hung open, not knowing what to say and what not to. He just smiled bitterly at her and pulled his wrist out of her hold.


    "Fertility test!?"


    "Yes!!! Your lie made me think that something was wrong with me because every time you would get your periods...it made me question my manhood, Tinsley... And you do not have any idea how hard it is for a man toe to that conclusion..."


    Kian spoke his heart out to her. And if she still felt like that nothing that she had done was not wrong...he was better off her.


    "And still if it makes you think that what you did was justified..."


    "It was not..."


    Tinsley interrupted him right away, shaking her head in negative. She was nowhere close to justifying her actions.


    It was not right. Lying to your husband was never right. Yet she did because she felt like she had no more alternatives to solve it.


    "I m so sorry that I pushed you to that stage...You will have to believe me, Kian that I only took to the pills to avoid getting pregnant...there was no other motive to hurt you or anything close to that...I had no idea that you were feeling this way..."


    Kian let her speak and for a moment, he even felt like ending all of this and just engulf her small sad self in a big hug.


    But then he remained static, right where he was standing. He had given so much power to her over him within just a few months of being together.


    And now that everything had happened, it made him think that how wrong it was to give someone...you have not known clearly enough to do so.


    He had not many experiences in rtionships, not like he was ever into one until Serena Williams and that ended, not good at all.


    And for the very first time when he thought of giving it all with not just any woman...but his wife, it did not culminate into one good one either.


    Tinsley felt like a p of emotion upon her when he dropped the news of getting vulnerable and anxious to the point of taking a test to confirm his fertility.


    She knew that some of her actions had hurt him bad even though she never intended it to end that way.


    She held onto his hand and eyed him with the hope that he was going to forgive her and forget about all this.


    She was ready to leave the job and listen to him and if it would make him happy more, she was going to consent to get pregnant.


    Because of all this, that had happened today, it only made her think that how important he was to her.


    If she lost him, she had no one...no one in the literal sense. That it did not matter how much money or not, that she got to help or not, having a child at the right time or not...everything mattered till they were together.


    " I did a few things to hurt you even though I did not intend it to...can we let go of this and start over?? "


    Tinsley started. Kian closed his eyes, disapproving of it. He was...he could not just let go of it this easily.


    "I m ready to leave working and ready to be the mother of your child...please?"


    Tinsley bargained. It only made Kian more disgusted of her self. He was starting to look at her in a different light.

 Chapter 156 - YOU HAVE MANY ADMIRERS TO TURN UPTO...

    " I did a few things to hurt you even though I did not intend it to...can we let go of this and start over?? "


    Tinsley started. Kian closed his eyes, disapproving of it. He was...he could not just let go of it this easily.


    "I m ready to leave working and ready to be the mother of your child...please?".


    Tinsley bargained. It only made Kian more disgusted with herself. He was starting to look at her in a different light.


    He pulled away from her touch and it made Tinsley feel rejected and dejected. He shook his head in a straight no.


    "I can''t...!"


    "Why can''t you??"


    Tinsley questioned. She did not understand why he could not let go of this??


    She knew that she did a mistake but it did not mean that it would have to be over.


    She was ready to repent and pay the price of her mistakes. She was going to take all his punishments silently.


    "I can''t live with a lier!"


    What he said was simple. Simple words, noplex words used yet it took her more than seconds, to think, process and analyze what he just uttered out.


    And when it drown upon her, it was just toote. He did not trust her anymore not tomit the same mistakes again.


    Her words hold no meaning to him. They were empty words for him...just void and clear white meaningless phrases.


    She had lost his trust. The very trust that holds a rtionship and breaks it when it was not there.


    It was at that moment, she did not understand what he just meant. Not trusting it calling it to quit??


    "I...swear to God! I mean what I said!!"


    She came to him, being desperate. She could not let this one mistake from her side to break something they have so beautiful together.


    "I m sorry!!! Please!!"


    Tears once again made their way to her eyes and onto her sticky cheeks from crying just a few minutes ago.


    It made her more afraid when he did not say anything and remained adamant, looking at her with eyes, she could not tell if what he was feeling inside.


    Pity, upset, anger, furry??


    What was he looking at her with??


    She was ready for him to shower his anger, rage, fury...all his emotions upon her...hell!! She was under his literal mercy!


    She held his hands tightly onto hers and then requested him again. He did not react right away. It was as if he was having a hard battle of thoughts in his mind.


    But then he pulled himself away from her hold and walked away from her side. Tears dropped onto her empty hand...the one she was holding him with.


    Kian had second thoughts...he had but he needed to stick to his decision or things would repeat and he would trap himself in this endless cycle of being powerless, not in control.


    And he hated being not in power, control. He had been feeling so vulnerable and anxious ever since she came onto his life.


    He is not once felt secured about her. Three months of marriage and he could not tell if she really loved him?


    Because of all her actions even though it made him findfort yet it could not make him believepletely in her words.


    And then going against him...it made him question if she was really the right woman for him??


    There was a time, he thought to suck it up and go on but then now he hade to a point where he could not.


    For his sanity...to get his life back on track...he had to let go of her. It was time to let go of her before she webs him around with her distractions.


    She was a beautiful distraction and it would be hard to start living without one but he needed to let go of her.


    "You need to go..."


    He started and Tinsley peeked at him astonished at what he was asking of her.


    "What??"


    "You need to leave, Tinsley...I can''t...I can''t anymore with you.."


    "What do you mean??? What do you can''t with....can''t with me??"


    Tinsley inquired, with him, not being able to grasp his words. She fixed his eyes onto his and did not part away to listen to himpletely.


    "I want you to leave me...it had been too much for me to hold onto...I m not into drama...I m a simple man, Tinsley..plicating but simple...and I can''t be dealing with this and concentrate on my work..."


    His words...all his pierced her heart multiple times that it was bleeding from every point at the time.


    "You...you are a beautiful distraction...that''s it!"


    Hepleted and then the actualization that all this time, she had been nothing to him more than just a distraction had broken a little of her.


    Yet she ran up to him and engulfed him in a hug taken him back by shock. She held onto his body, rubbing her face over his chest.


    "Please!!! Please!!! Do not ask me to leave...please!!! Kian!!!"


    He closed his eyes in discontent. He did not wrap his hands around her either. She only tightened her hands around his waist.


    "Where will I go, Kian??? Where will I go??"


    She questioned him. He did not respond and she waited for him to say something...anything if not everything.


    "Who do I have to turn up to if you not you??? Please!!!"


    She sounded pathetic, helpless but she did not care. She was going to beg to him to rent a ce close to him if not his heart.


    It was all she was asking yet he seemed adamant on his decision and as the seconds were passing by, she knew that she had screwed up real bad this time.


    "You have many admirers, Tinsley Rutherford! You will have ces to turn up to."

 Chapter 157 - SEPARATION!

    "Who do I have to turn up to if you not you??? Please!!!"


    It was all she was asking yet he seemed adamant on his decision and as the seconds were passing by, she knew that she had screwed up real bad this time.


    "You have many admirers, Tinsley Rutherford! You will have ces to turn up to."


    It was what he said and then pulled her off of his body. Holding her arms, he dragged her towards the door.


    Everything happened so fast, that she could not even get the time to protest and stop him.


    Within seconds, despite her begging him to not do this, she was thrown out of their house with her bags and belongings.


    And how cruelly, he shut the door on her face as if he did not feel anything for her....not at all.


    She remained static on her position, before the shut door, eyeing it with as if time had gone frozen for her.


    She could not believe...could not get it that he had shut her out of their house. To put it more precisely, he had shut her out of his life just like that...branding her as a distraction!


    She did not know what she stayed in the same position for more than an hour...maybe there was a voice within her that kept telling her, instilling her with the hope that he would open...anytime now.


    But it never happened and when it was finally evening,she stood up from sitting on the doormat, rubbing her tears off.


    Her neighbours had gone and disappeared inside their apartments, eyeing her with pity.


    They did not need to hear the story from her side. They saw enough to know what had happened.


    She turned around to knock maybe and see what would happen??


    But she had been doing that for an hour now and no answer came back from the other side of the door.


    She closed her eyes, sighing and then collected her bags and moved down. She hade back to the time when she had no home.


    That feeling of having no shelter, it revived back into her. She walked out of the building with the down shoulder.


    Not many people were on the street as it was already evening. The townspeople did not wait up long after the sunsets.


    With slow steps, she kept moving forward. There was a part of her screaming for her to turn around and get back at him.


    But then there was another part, asking her to give him some time, make him calm and then he would understand and forgive her.


    He calmed her heart down saying he just needed some time...time to think and rx. He was hurt badly by her actions and it was normal for people to react that way.


    Saying that she consoles herself. On reaching the cafe, she finally pulled her phone out to call Madison.


    She had no other ce to crash. She could not think of another ce where she could seek shelter and it was what it was.


    She was a helpless, pathetic woman. She hade to ept that fact now. Her father was perhaps right about that one thing.


    She could not live all to herself. She needed someone and that someone was her husband then how could she not need him??


    She was a crying mess. Her tears had soaked her face making it puffy and red. She did not care about how she looked and when Madison did pick up the phone.


    She could not speak out two words clearly before breaking out to her. And it did not take Madison, two seconds to know that something was wrong.


    She asked Tinsley to hold on and that she was going to be right there. Tinsley waited patiently outside, waiting for Madison to arrive.


    And in half an hour time, the ck Audi parked before her. Madison got out and walked up to her.


    Tinsley ran up to her and threw herself in Madi''s arms. Madi held her back steady, rubbing her back as she cried her heart out.


    Later on, inside the car, Madi offered her water and some fries to make her calm before taking her to her house or else Anna Maria woulde to know that something was not right and that old woman had faced too many hardships in her life.


    Tinsley narrated the entire scene to Madi and it angered her so much. She could not get in it herself to who kicks their wife out just because of such a petty thing?


    It was disturbing. It was saddening to watch Tinsley ept it all as to be her fault. That it was her actions that had led him to do this.


    Madi could see that it was bad. No matter how much she tried to make Tinsley believe that she did nothing wrong, Tinsley was certain that she did.


    Her confident self had bid her farewell long ago. Her life seemed dark and void at the moment.


    Kian was all she had. Her entire life revolved around him. There was no life without him in it.


    But Madi being a staunch feminist, she could see that Kian''s stern actions had made an effect on the way Tinsley understood.


    A man like Kian...they knew how to get back in control and make others subdue to theirmand right away when someone would try to deflect from it.


    It was clear to Madison but it was not to Tinsley. She kept crying her eyes out and regretting every moment of standing to herself which she never did.


    Inside the car, Madison tried to console her back to normalcy. And said that he woulde running back to her in no time.


    But Tinsley was convinced that this time not...this time something had changed. His eyes...they were too calm when he led her out.


    This time he did not believe her. She had broken his trust. He saw her as a fucking lier!

 Chapter 158 - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"

    PRECAP


    "Who do I have to turn up to if you not you??? Please!!!"


    It was all she was asking yet he seemed adamant on his decision and as the seconds were passing by, she knew that she had screwed up real bad this time.


    "You have many admirers, Tinsley Rutherford! You will have ces to turn up to."


    It was what he said and then pulled her off of his body. Holding her arms, he dragged her towards the door.


    ________________________________________________


    It had been over two days since that day. Tinsley had settled in Madison''s house. Unlike the first time, this time she was very weing.


    Anna Maria was beyond happy to have some time spent with the baby girl, she practically raised by herself..


    With Madison often going out, either for work or to be with her girlfriend, the old woman was all by herself in the house and now getting to have apanion, she was ecstatic.


    In the meantime, Tinsley tried everything to get back with her husband.


    She called him, dropped long texts of apology yet he would not budge. She even went to visit him in their own house but she could not make it up to their apartment.


    She heard from the neighbours gossiping that how she had betrayed her husband and now she had been kicked out of their house.


    Some were even using her of indulging in extramarital affairs. It broke her respect and confidence to the point, she never left Madison''s house premises anymore.


    All she heard from Madi about him was that he had been focused on his work and soon things were going to change.


    She was happy for him. She was. Finally, he was getting back on his work but in a day as such, her birthday, she missed him.


    She had thought of this day way long before, a month ago that she would take him out on a date with her earned money.


    And now sitting all by herself on the veranda, she could note to do anything. Her mind was so stuck so was her life at the moment.


    "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"


    She turned around to see Anna Maria,ing to her with a small baked cake and singing the song along with Madison, pping her hands.


    She rubbed her tears away and stood up smiling at them. As Anna Maria hold the cake, she leaned forward to blow the candles and then cut the cake.


    After that, they had a hearty breakfast all cooked by the chef Anna Maria, assisted by Madison.


    "Lana could have joined us!"


    Anna Maria said, after breakfast. Madison grunted out in annoyance. She had told her for the nth time that Lana was out of the States.


    "She is out for a modelling show in Canada, Nana!"


    These days, Anna Maria had be forgetful and it was bound to happen with her age.


    After wrapping up the breakfast, Madison collected her car keys to head out. Tinsley followed her.


    "You are driving to the town?"


    She asked expectedly to Madi. Madi nodded.


    "Yes, today is the day when John will meet Kian finally making the deal official."


    "Can you deliver this to him for me?"


    Tinsley passed the enveloped letter to Madi. She eyed the envelop and then back at Tin.


    "Why don''t you go and give it to himself? We will be done with the meeting by twelve and then in the afternoon, you can drive my car and go visit him?"


    Madison offered. As much as she did not like Tin being so desperate to get her husband''s attention, she knew that how much Tin loved him and love makes you do crazy things even dropping off your self-respect and stomping over it.


    Tinsley thought for a while at Madi''s offer and then eventually agreed. She could not wait to finally go and meet him.


    ________________________________________________


    John and Kian shook hands, finally sealing the deal.


    It was official, Kian had found a way and he would be ready with it the next month to officially drop it in the market.


    And Kravinshky Industries would be channelling worldwide in exchange for thirty per cent stock of Kian''s new uingpany...whatever it would be calledter in the future.


    They popped champagne and celebrated the asion before John left for his work. It was only Madi and Kian in his house after that.


    "How long?"


    Madi asked, drinking her ss of goldenplete and keeping it on the kitchen counter. Kian narrowed his eyes at him.


    "What do you mean how long? If you are asking about the project then I already told you, need another month for it to be finallyplete and ready to beunched...I m doing ten men''s work, Madison, keep it calm!"


    Kian sassed, keeping the sses back on the kitchen cab. With no wife, he had to do all the household chores too.


    But it had been handy, ever since she left. He had missed her. He won''t lie about that. Missed her presence, herughter, more so on his bed during the night. Her smell still lingered on the bed.


    "How long are you going to punish your own wife, Kian??"


    Madi questioned, leaning on the kitchen counter. His movements stopped altogether.


    He had not bothered to check up on her ever since he had thrown her out. It was from Madi, he was getting to know that she was residing with them.


    "I did not sign up to cater you your wife, you do know that? Don''t you??"


    Madi pressed. She did not want to get involved in a matter of couple''s life but he had not left her with any choice neither did Tinsley.


    "How long are you going to make her stay away from you?? She did a mistake ok...she did it because I suggested her, Kian...she did not think it all by herself. You could say I brainwashed her!"


    Madi let out, trying to make Kian understand that it was not Tinsley but her tragic ideas that had led to this.


    "She is depressed, anxious, always crying and sad..mon, man! It''s enough...don''t you think??"


    Kian did not respond and continued to keep his mouth silent. Madison was getting annoyed by it. The way, he was behaving so indifferently.


    "It is too much to kick your wife because she took pills?? Don''t you think, dude??"


    "Don''t you teach me what''s too much. Eye raping your girlfriend''s brother if is not too much then don''t you dare teach me what''s too much, Madison Maria!"


    Kian retorted back, shutting up Madison for good. He had seen, observed how throughout the meeting, Madison could not keep her eyes off John Kravinshky.


    Anybody would and could see that something was going in between the two of them. It was very clear and lucid.


    Madison could not believe what she just heard. He really was an asshole and a master of maniption and not to forget a keen observer too.


    "Fucking asshole!!"


    She cursed at him and kicked off thest flower vase left on the house, breaking it into pieces, while storming out of the house.


    Kian shook his head in disapproval at that action. After breaking all the vases himself, it was thest one and now that was broken too.


    "You don''t even fucking deserve her, bastard!"


    She screamed thest part, shutting the door furiously behind her. Kian sighed, closing his eyes.


    He never deserved her. It was very true. Nobody deserved to be with her. And hell! His life was so much easier without her in it.


    It was peaceful!


    Tinsley waited out peacefully for Madison to arrive. When she saw the ck Audi making its way through the driveway, she walked forward.


    She carried the basket of food with her and straightened her dress. Madison came out of the Audi, parking it by the street.


    With whatever the kind of encounter, she had with him, she did not think it would be fit for Tinsley to visit him but did not know how to tell her that.


    Tinsley smiled at her and then extended her hand for the car keys. Madison did not hand her right away.


    "So you are ready huh??"


    "Yes! I have been waiting for a while now! I think I have given him enough time, I guess! And today is my birthday, he would not dare do something wrong!"


    Tinsley blurted out. Madi was not sure how much the situation was going to be like that.


    Thest time, she checked, he was the same asshole as Tinsley left him to be, not changed one bit.


    "Maybe, we should give him some more time...he is being extra burdened with his work at the moment!"


    Madi tried to divert this entire visiting him thing of off Tinsley. Tin only raised her eyebrows at Madi, not clearly understanding what was going on.


    "I will get going then! "


    Saying that Tin grabbed the lets and drove away.

 Chapter 159 - "YOURE A LIAR & I DONT TRUST YOU YET!"

    PRECAP


    "It is too much to kick your wife because she took pills?? Don''t you think, dude??"


    "Don''t you teach me what''s too much. Eye raping your girlfriend''s brother if is not too much then don''t you dare teach me what''s too much, Madison Maria!"


    Kian retorted back, shutting up Madison for good. He had seen, observed how throughout the meeting, Madison could not keep her eyes off John Kravinshky.


    Madison could not believe what she just heard. He really was an asshole and a master of maniption and not to forget a keen observer too.


    "You don''t even fucking deserve her, bastard!"


    She screamed thest part, shutting the door furiously behind her. Kian sighed, closing his eyes.


    ________________________________________________.


    Tinsley parked the Audi on the driveway. No one was outside of the building because it was already evening.


    She got off her seatbelt and got out of the car, taking out the basket of food. She straightened her dress and hair once again before heading towards the building.


    Her hands were shaking as she neared their apartmentplex. She stood right before the door and did not know how to ring the doorbell or knock on the four.


    How was he going to react??


    It was this question that scared her nuts out. She did not know if this was a really good idea considering they had not evene to talking terms and directly show up on the doorstep.


    Maybe she should not gave done this?? But it was toote to return back...was it??


    She had seen him in all his forms and there was hardly anything she could expect anything would take her by shock anymore.


    She had gotten used to his sassy remarks, hurtful tones or his sudden outburst.


    And standing right outside of the door, she was wondering which version of him she was going to face tonight once that door got opened.


    She had no idea how long she had been standing outside because out of nowhere, the door suddenly hung opened and on the other side stood, her husband.


    Their eyes interlocked just like thest time. She had no words to say...toin about how much she had longed to see him, breathe him.


    And for Kian, he felt as if he had seen his wife''s ghost standing right on their doorstep in a moonlight night.


    Before she could open her lips to call his name out, he had mmed his lips against her, sealing her mouth with his.


    She was taken by surprise. His hands cupped her face as he deepened the kiss and she held onto his bicep, trying to stand steady.


    He pulled her inside with him, kicking the door close in a thud sound.


    ________________________________________________


    "She is depressed, anxious, always crying and sad..mon, man! It''s enough...don''t you think??"


    Madison''s words kept ringing in his head as he opened the nth beer bottle tonight.


    He was having a hard time concentrating on the codes and sighed not understanding how to get himself back to the working mode.


    It was right in the evening. Almost time for cooking dinner and when he looked towards the kitchen, seating from the living room, he saw her...


    She turned around and smiled at him, getting the tes out from the cab and then keeping them on the kitchen counter, serving the hot food.


    He could not know what was real or he was hallucinating? He closed his eyes and opened them again and saw that she was still there, smiling at him, working for her hands on the food.


    It made him stand up and walk up to the kitchen. The more he moved closer, the light around her grew brighter.


    "You really are here!!"


    He whispered to himself as he stood in front of her with the kitchen counter, as a barrier between the two.


    When he extended his hand out to touch her, he heard themotion outside and tilted his head to nce at the door.


    And when he turned his gazes back onto the kitchen, she was not there anymore and he looked around to check up on her.


    Where did she go??


    Was she really here or he was too drunk for the night??


    The rustling sounding from the door, he made his way towards it and opened it to reveal himself his wife, standing right before him...this time in bones and flesh.


    And to know if she was real before she could even open those delectable baby pink lips, he swallowed them in.


    Tinsley moaned out when she felt his hands roaming all over her body, bringing every bit of her living cells to life.


    He pasted her body on the wall and resumed kissing and making love to her beautiful mouth and face with his greedy, hungry mouth.


    Tinsley could smell the alcohol from him but she had no wish to stop him because she had missed him so damn much...so did his touch.


    She helped him get out of his t-shirt. He dropped wet kisses all over the exposed neck and shoulder.


    He pulled her up on his body and she hopped up, wrapping her legs around him,ing in direct contact with his hardness right against her clothed core.


    He made their way inside the bedroom, kissing her mouth, drinking in her. She pulled his hair when she felt his hands squeezing and kneading her butts.


    He dropped her on the bed andunched upon her like a predator. Tinsleyid down without a protest, sighing in peace for being back on her bed...their bed.


    He got on top of her and started kissing her neck, licking and sucking on the skin. His other hand slipped down and scooted her dress up, she voluntarily spread her thighs for him.


    She opened up her eyes, watching the white ceiling and gasped out when she felt his fingers moving in and out of her.


    His kisses, his movements became urgent as soon enough she felt him jamming inside of her knocking the breath out of her lungs.


    Soon she felt his naked bodyying on her clothed one, moving his hip forward, in and out of her.


    She hugged his body to herself, moaning out incoherent words, watching up at the ceiling as he rocked her body and the bed.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley watched him fall asleep right beside her. She clutched the sheet up to her breasts and rose up.


    She dropped a sweet kiss on his cheek and got up from the bed. He had not only exhausted her from all the lovemaking but himself.


    Even though she could tell that he was drunk and passed awayter. She did not want to believe that he was not in his senses when they were together.


    She covered his naked body with the duvet. She blushed to nce over at his butts. He was sleeping on his stomach.


    Before she got lost in his body, she walked out of the bed to prepare dinner. It was night in the evening.


    She wrapped the sheet around her and started to take out the ingredients from the kitchen cab and get ready to cook his favourites.


    Halfway, almost being over with the cooking, she saw him, standing right in front of her, although it shocked her out of nowhere he just appeared when she was so into cooking the dishes...she smiled at him.


    "You almost made me scared!"


    She eximed, touching her chest. It was then he noticed that she was not dressed but just a mere sheet wrapped around her body.


    It exined the dress and scattered underwear on the bedroom, he thought. So she was really not a dream but in reality, was here.


    "You can sit down, I will serve in a minute or two."


    She said, turning back to get the food out of the oven. Kian moved towards her and held on to her arms, turning her back to face him.


    "Yes?"


    He did not have the heart to tell her this but he knew that he had to if he did not want to impose any wrong signal out.


    "You need to leave!"


    Tinsley could not believe what she just heard. She continued to peek into his eyes and when he did not flinch, she realized that indeed it was what he was asking of her.


    "But I..."


    "You got in when I was out with eight bottles of beer and invaded your way inside the bedroom...just because we slept when I was hardly in my senses, it changes nothing."


    He stopped her and continued to pierce her heart with his hurtful words. She somehow controlled the tears on the edge of her eyes.


    "You are still a liar and I m not sorry that I can''t trust you anymore...so can you please leave?"


    She closed her eyes and sighed as all his words made their way inside her ears. It was her birthday and she did not want to ruin the moment they just had with a drama.


    "Can I first get dressed please?"


    She very sweetly asked him and excused herself away from him.

 Chapter 160 - EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO CHANGE!

    "You are still a liar and I m not sorry that I can''t trust you anymore...so can you please leave?"


    She closed her eyes and sighed as all his words made their way inside her ears. It was her birthday and she did not want to ruin the moment they just had with a drama.


    "Can I first get dressed please?"


    She very sweetly asked him and excused herself away from him before he could say anything.


    On reaching the bedroom, she could not control the heavy sob that she had been stopping for so long.


    She closed the door and hastily got dressed. She did not bother to look neat and just wore the dress and her panty underneath forgetting her bra..


    She rubbed her tears away and then put on a smile on her face and came face to face with her husband, waiting in the living room.


    "I have...cooked the dinner, you can have it!"


    She said and then grabbed her basket from the corner. He did not say anything to her at all. And for a while, she waited patiently for him to at least wish her a happy birthday.


    But when nothing came out other than silence, she got that it was her cue to leave.


    She moved towards him and dropped a sweet kiss on his cheeks. His body hair stood up in attention.


    "I hope that someday you wille to trust me again. I love you!"


    She concluded and got out, closing the door behind her. She did not stop there but kept walking, climbing down the building and got inside the Audi.


    She did not wait for another second and drove out of there at a speed, in a hurry. He watched her car speeding away from the driveway from the balcony.


    When he walked inside, he saw that the food was ready and served on the te. The smell lingering everywhere in the house.


    He was reminded of her again. Her sad, morose face and how good she pretended to be not hurt by his words.


    He furiously moved towards the kitchen counter and took the te, disposing of the food inside the bin.


    He did not want anything to do with her. She had be a liability to him now.


    Hell! Every time she would appear in his life, she wouldplicate things up. Like for these past days, he was doing his work, focusing on his business and out of nowhere, she had toe and take away the peace of his life along with her.


    Peace had left his side the moment she came tumbling in his fucking life.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley applied the brakes of the car in the middle of nowhere and finally broke down, resting her head in the steering wheel.


    She cried her eyes out, wailing at the ache that was hurting her heart. She could not control herself from letting the sobs out loudly.


    She held on to her chest and cried for her life. Who would have thought that she wouldmit such a heinous act and lost her husband''s trust altogether?


    And who knew if he was ever going to believe her or not?? What if he did not ever believe her again?


    As time passed, she did not realize that she had fallen asleep in the car and the honking sounds awoke her up.


    She rubbed her eyes opened and then apologized to the fellow car drivers for causing unusual traffic and sped in the direction of Madison''s house.


    The moment, she entered the driveway, she saw Madison rushing towards her, sitting up from the veranda.


    Tinsley knew that she had screwed up and got out of the Audi. Madison stood before her.


    "Where the hell were you??"


    "Did you know how much fucking worried we all were??"


    Madison kept throwing questions after questions on Tin, not giving her any chance to answer in between.


    "Madi...I...I spent the night with him..."


    Tin lied, not wanting to narrate the true story. She had caused pain in so many people''s lives that she did not want to be selfish anymore.


    "Oh really??"


    Madison raised her eyebrows, crossing her hands over her chest. Tin nodded her head, not wanting to admit the truth.


    "Then why is he here??"


    Madison implored and out came Kian along with Anna Maria. The old woman practically ran towards her and engulfed her In a big hug.


    "My sweet child!! Don''t ever make us afraid like that!"


    She said, rubbing her back soothingly and Tin let herself melt in the hug. At least there was someone still left who cared about her without judging what she did in the past.


    Anna Maria then left her to converse with her husband and Madi. Madi narrowed her eyes at Tin and threw knives in Kian''s way.


    Tin did not have it in her to look at him so she kept her gazes down and reserved.


    He was trying to get a brief look at her but nowhere did she give him a moment. It was like she was avoiding him even when he was.


    For a moment, when he got the call from Madison that where Tin was. He was afraid, not being able to grasp the intensity of the matter that what if something had happened?


    He was wrong in asking her to leave in the night and he knew that he had gone far enough to push her away from his life.


    But then again there was a part of him who wanted her to stay with him through it all and fight with him for being so stubborn.


    He had gone crazy. He was not in his straight mind. He supposed and continued to stare at his wife.


    Madi left them alone for a moment to converse even though she did not want to.


    Being alone with him had never made her feel so anxious and conscious. Her hands were shaking and he noticed that.


    "I m sorry!"


    She looked up for the first time on his face. Her glowing watery eyes stared at him with shock. She was not expecting that from him at all.


    An apology! Out of everything? That was thest thing she thought she would hear from him.


    "I m sorry too!"


    She whispered out. It was barely audible but he heard it. He strode forward and stopped right before her.


    "I need time!"


    He uttered out, touching her cheeks, eyes taking in the view of her thin lips and her big orbs peeking at him.


    "I know..."


    She replied, taking a deep breath. She was hoping for a kiss but it did note as he stepped back.


    "But first, you need to stop pulling such stunts to get my attention!"


    It made her gasp at his words. She swallowed in her sobs as he red at her as if he was disgusted by her very sight and then left.


    Madison heard it all and came out. She stood beside Tin and held her steady.


    "You idiot! Won''t be long before you woulde running over here to get her attention!"


    She yelled back at him who resumed walking forward without bothering to look back at them.


    That was thest time, she had seen him. It had been over a month and she had not bothered to call him or sent a text to disturb him.


    She had absorbed herself in self-pity as if life had be stagnant for her. Endless ncing at the street, hoping that someday he woulde running to take her back.


    But it never happened as she would stand up and head back inside the house from sitting on the veranda all day.


    Madison got busy with theunch of the newpany. Lana started to join Tin on the veranda, waiting for her girlfriend who would have no time to visit her anymore.


    As if life had taken its turn back to the past ways. Everything was going on smoothly.


    Tinsley and Lana became besties in the absence of Madison, hanging out often, talking about life.


    Lana would take her to this shopping frees and buy dresses for her which would help in keeping Tin stop thinking about him all the time.


    It was not much but it was something to help her spend even an hour of the day to live without mourning for not being able to be with him.


    "Did you like the Dior one or Gi??"


    Lana asked,ying on the veranda floor, munching on the fries that they made takeout of from the Starbucks.


    "I can''t say much...I liked both of them!"


    Tinsley replies staring at the view and Lana rose up, sitting beside her.


    "Exactly! I felt the same! So I bought both of them!"


    Lanaughed away and Tinsley smiled, reminiscing that at one point her life also used to be the same.


    But then everything had changed ever since. And when the lunching of Kian''s newpany went viral...they had no idea that how life was going to change altogether from hence on.

 Chapter 161 - THE OVERNIGHT SUCCESS STORY!

    Kian shut his MacBook down and fell asleep on the couch after nonstop working.


    His algorithm was going to beunched tomorrow. Kravinshky industries had taken the responsibility tounch everywhere in Europe and America right away to see the product viability in exchange for thirty per cent stock.


    Even though John insisted on fifty per cent, Kian would not budge down in giving the fifty and in came Madison who bragged a deal of thirty per cent stock for the beginning andter timed investment from Kian to the Kravinshky industries on monthly basis.


    So tomorrow his fate would be decided and he was too tired to wait and see it unfolding.


    He had kept his fingers crossed and low expectation in the first go, not wanting to lose hopeter on if it did not work out.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison was homete after having a good negotiation with the Kravinshky technical team and readied the terms of theunch tomorrow.


    She crawled to her bed and fell on it, tired.. She felt a body move towards her and hummed when she felt the body of her girlfriend.


    "Lana?"


    "Yes, it''s me!"


    Lana whispered near her ears and spooned Madison from behind. Both of them fell asleepter when it was already morning.


    ________________________________________________


    When the lights of the sunlight sipped in through the curtains of the ss window, Madison groaned out, hearing the nonstop vibration in her cell phone.


    She cursed it when it started to ring. Lana grunted out in annoyance and turned her back on Madison.


    "Madi!!! Fucking stop that thing!"


    Madison woke up to get check the phone and swiped the lock screen open by partially opening her eyelids.


    The screen opened to the gross count in the global market. She tapped on the link and then and there things started to blow up.


    The sells of theirpany kept growing up. She saw it literally hiking up from gross five hundred to a thousand in no a minute or two times and kept increasing.


    She screamed out and woke up from the bed being so excited as she had ever been. She knew that...she knew it that he could do it.


    Lana groaned in annoyance and got her head under the duvet when Madison tried to wake her up.


    Madison did not wait any longer. She wore her business attire and then got out of the room but stopped on her track when her eyes fell upon her nana''s room where Tinsley was sleeping.


    She thought about whether or not to inform her?? But then looking at the past situation, their rtionship, she decided against it and went out.


    It was still very morning, going to strike seven soon. She straightened her hair and then started the engine of her Audi.


    On the way, shemanded Siri to call Kian. The phone kept ringing but he would not bother picking up.


    She sighed. She was thinking of going straight to the Kravinshky industries to felicitate with the team that made it possible but then since the developer himself was not awake, she first decided to get him up.


    She turned the direction over and got off the highway. On reaching the town, she thought it was finally time to leave this town.


    ________________________________________________


    Kian was woken up by the knocking sound on his door constantly and he had to get up forcefully due to it.


    He rushed towards it and opened the door, angrily. Madisonunched herself upon him and he was taken aback by shock.


    He lost his bnce and they both ended up falling to the ground. She cursed out on falling on her butt.


    "Damn!! What the hell was that??"


    Kian annoyedly asked, extending his hand to help Madi get up on her feet. Madi held his hand and got up.


    "Did you not check yourptop??"


    She questioned him, and he just stood there, not bothering to follow her up.


    She moved towards his MacBook and opened it and signalled him to get over here.


    He did, not interestingly and when he let his eyes fall over theptop screen, he had his eyes widened to his fullest length.


    He could not believe that he did it. Both his and her eyes matched and he engulfed her in a big hug, mumbling thank you, repeatedly.


    Even though he did the whole technical work, without her support, it would not have been possible.


    She somehowpelled John to invest without even a dime and his product was going global on the first day itself.


    He could not thank anyone else but Madison for this miracle. She urged him to get ready fast so that they could head to the industries.


    Kian obliged and his mind was too happy to think about anything else. He got dressed pretty soon and they both drove away to the industry where John was already there waiting for them.


    He knew that his money would be put to good use and lots of benefits and that was the only reason why he invested.


    Maybe there was a little bit more personal reason too but nheless, everything worked out the way they had hoped for and it was something to be celebrated about.


    The press was already there although John''s bodyguards were doing a pretty good job of stopping the press from entering the office premises.


    They went to the theatre where they saw the live sale and how it was increasing more and more.


    It was high in the European Union and more so high in the East side of North America.


    Kian and John had a brief talking about the future and what to expect and not in the next week of the sale.


    Madison had already hired a workforce often and they were to work under the Randall Corps as their first basis employment for Kian.


    The news spread quickly. Tinsley woke up to get a text from Madison and a link. When she checked it out, her eyes could not believe what she saw.


    Her happiness knew no bounds and she passed it to Anna Maria and Lana to be next. Lana told how Madi was out the very morning because of this.


    In her heart, she could nig wait to meet him and see him after a month time. She did not know if he had forgiven her yet or not but at least in a day like this, when he had finally aplished in his sess, after months of hard work, she wanted to be there for him, by his side.


    But decided against it to send a text or call him. She did not want him to think otherwise for her.


    She thought of waiting for him to call her or maybe not. She did not know what to do or not to do at any point.


    Even though her will was screaming at her to go running toward the arms of her husband.


    ________________________________________________


    The news of Kian''s sess even reached the ears of Valeria Willson so did Josh Herrington heard about the new multi-millionaire sess.


    It was at that time, Valeria realized maybe she had pushed her nephew too far away from herself and he had gone out to reach the world all by himself.


    Josh grimaced his face in disgust and sighed under his breathe that once again his position in the Willson Corp would be threatened because he was sure that after this one-night sess, Valeria might go to wee her nephew back.


    The entire media and news personality were praising his sess. A back with a boom moment for the former billionaire and CEO of Wilsons Oils.


    What took most of them by off guards was the news when Randall Corp products were even bought in Asia.


    Kian questioned Madi about what that was about and Madi could not answer him right away as she was herself not sure who was investing in the production beyond the territory of Europe.


    Plus the names were anonymous and she could not figure out who it was or a group behind the sess story in Asia.


    Regardless, Kian''s sess story took over the world and everyone was ecstatic.


    His assets multiply within a span of an hour, investors lined up to invest even though he remained strictly selective.


    He did not want to lose his stocks to the investors and wanted to keep maximum stocks to himself.


    He wanted this time to im everything as his and he did not want the situation in the past to ever repeat itself again.


    When the press conference was started in the Kravinshky Industries hall, everyone cheered for him when he made entry towards the outside world of public and business officials after a long break of seven months.


    He felt a bit nervous and anxious after all this time, only keeping to himself. Madison gave him a green signal and that was when he finally stepped out to give his official statement.

    ________________________________________________


    After a brief press meet and conference, John threw a party in hisvish hotel..


    Kian tried to decline it but then Madison forced him in. Everything was happening on a single day and it was tiresome for everyone.


    Kian felt like gaining his position back in society and in control. He was finally happy after months of feeling dejected and hopeless.


    He met with all his old colleagues and all those who were investors in his previous business. The business magnate around Richmond.


    The party was although called upon out of nowhere yet it got crowded as the time passed.


    And soon it was evening. Madison was busy talking and greeting the eminent persons. What would be their next step and agenda??


    Amidst of all this, Madison forgot to inform Kian that she had invited Tinsley here with Lana and he was supposed to meet her at the front.


    So when Lana and Tinsley stood at the entrance, staring down at a crowd of people with inexpensive dresses and champagne, they did not know what to do or not to do.


    Lana excused both herself and Tinsley to the washroom and Tin followed her even though her eyes were busy trying to search for her husband.


    Madi was introducing Kian to another probable investor when she received a text from her girlfriend. She sighed for forgetting about them.


    "Can we have a moment?"


    She excused Kian from the group of suit-d men and took him to a corner around the hall.


    "Tinsley is here in the restroom."


    She whispered near Kian''s ears and for a moment everything stopped around him.


    He had not heard or thought about that name for a whole month or two. It was as if she had been erased from his life.


    Neither did she try to ever text or call him after that encounter in the morning, months ago.


    Madison urged him towards the direction of the restroom and left him there.


    He was nervous...nervous for the very first time to meet a person, that too is his wife.


    Tinsley sat patiently in the restroom, ying with her fingers on herp. She had been sitting here for a minute or two by then and Lana had not yete out of the washroom.


    And suddenly, the door hung opened, she looked up and saw that one person, her eyes had been longing to see for a whole goddamn month.


    She stood up wearing a body-hugging ocqure dress, with a thin strap, red earrings hanging from her ears and the red tint of lipstick on her delectable lips.


    His eyes roamed from bottom to top and then joined with her eyes. The moment froze as a chill ran down her spine.


    The kind of intensity with his eyes was peeking at her. There was a struggle to find for the right thing to do at that moment...call out his name or smile at him?


    For a while, he had thought that he had lost her a long ago but here she was, waiting for him.


    In an impulse, he entrapped her space with his presence. She raised her head up to keep her view with his on level.


    His hands shook, in his mind was having a second thought if or not to go with his instinct, his heart desire to feel her, smell her...take in her existence that he had missed for so long.


    She closed her eyes and opened them in a millisecond and he took it as the approval and went on with it.


    She closed her eyes, leaning towards him as he cupped her small face on his palms and pasted his lips to hers.


    A lone tear came out of her eyes and he felt it touching him...the wetness of her tears, giving him the idea of how much their separation by him caused her ache and agony.


    He swallowed her lower lips, muffling her sobs. She leaned more onto his body and epted his apology in silence.


    Lana came out of the washroom and stopped in her tracks when she saw the scene before her eyes, stopping her mouth from making any noises by keeping both her hands on her lips.


    She saw how much he meant to her and how unstoppably she melted right in his arms.


    It made her smile in contentment watching one pair of lovers in their union and unknowingly leaned on the cab, knocking off the ss vase, creating a noise of breaking it into pieces.


    Out of shock, Tinsley pushed Kian off of her and he stumbled back a little and they both turned to see a shy Lana, standing on the corner, mouthing sorry.


    She stormed out of the room right after, giving them the much-needed privacy they both deserved.


    "You came?"


    Those were the words that came out of him after a bickering silence. She looked up at him. He seemed like he had a feeling that she would not be there for such an important moment of sess in his life.


    "Of course, I m! I will stand up to your side always..."


    She spoke out and he just gave her a brief nodding. Before they could have more talks, Madison barged inside and came towards them.


    "If you guys have had your mini-reunion, there is press waiting for you both to go and give an official statement about the starting of a business worldwide globally, Kian and you, Tinsley, being his wife should always stay by his side...it makes a good image for our product in the eyes of the public."


    Madison exined to them in one breathe and saw how Kian was ring in her direction.


    "Why are you looking at me that way??"


    She questioned him and he just shrugged it off.


    "When did you be a public image conveyer??"


    "Since when you have not hired one...I m literally ying all the fucking roles of a global facepany!"


    Madisonined and let him out of the room. Tinsley did not know how to react to that news.


    "What I m gonna do?? I did note prepared??"


    She voiced out at Madi who shushed her down to calm herself and started telling that all she had to do was look pretty and ssy beside Kian.


    Tinsley got reminded of the time how her mother used to do the same alongside her father and it was her time now to show support to her husband.


    So when she stepped out of the restroom and Kian waited for her at the entrance, extending out his hand for her to take.


    She looked up into his eyes and then epted his hand. He smiled at her and she returned it to him with her graceful ones.


    Seeing so many people, media persons clicking away their pictures as they walked past the crowd, she was thankful that she had worn the Gi dress as a gift from Lana and not some ordinary ones she possesed.


    Walking along with her husband, and listening to the screams of joy and felicitation thrown in his way, she was in so much proud of him.


    Everything was finally worth it and that he had done it. His fruits ofbour were here and they turned out to be very sweet.


    Only that everything had to change when Valeria Wilson showed up in the middle of the crowd and her paid journalist came in front.


    The journalist started throwing questions after questions in Tinsley''s way and herck of knowledge about her husband''s new venture, made everyone perceive her as exactly what Valeria wanted.


    After the disaster, Kian left her side and she did not know how tofort him back to her. Lana joined her and gave her shoulder for Tin to lean on.


    "I do not even know where that bitch came out from?? Someone must have paid her!"


    Madison concluded and then there was awe from the crowd. The three women turned their heads to see a dazzling tall woman, dressed in business made her way to Kian, who was standing along with suit-d men.


    "Who is that??"Tinsley asked, not liking how her husband''s face shone looking at the strangerdy.


    "Ahhh!!! The great Thea Stilton!"

 Chapter 163 - I M NOT HAPPY AS I SHOULD BE!

    Extreme jealousy and rage were the only kinds of emotions she was feeling at the moment.


    Watching your husband''s hand around a strangerdy''s waist as they talked business amongst other businessmen and women, being extremely close to each other.


    Her grasp on the ss of champagne got tighter as she could not bear the sight unfolding before her and parted her eyes away before she would have a whole body and mental breakdown.


    "It was bound to happen huh?"


    She looked over at the owner of the voice and could not believe to see who it was.


    Valeria took off her sunsses. Her red lips gave a wicked smile to her daughter inw.


    "In no time, Kian will see how unfit you are to be his wife. My nephew always had it in him and I knew that even though he lost it all to chose you, in the end, he came running back to the world he left to be with you....and where does it make you stand?"


    Tinsley did not respond and continued to stare at Valeria. She could not perceive the reality anymore that howe even Valeria Wilson was here....who did invite her here??


    "Live your life till you get to sleep on his bed because soon enough you will be reced with her..."


    Valeria said, pointing her forefinger at Thea,ughing away at something, Kian rubbing her back to soothe her down.


    "...the rightful woman to be a Randall!"


    Tinsley curled her pain in a fist and tried to unheard everything that Valeria infected her mind with and left the middle-aged evil woman there to rot in all her hatred towards Tinsley.


    Tin made her way back in the restroom and could not entertain the crowd anymore.


    She never was a fan of the spotlight or being the centre of attention. Living this extravagant life of mour and fame.


    Her mother always used to scold her to sumb to it. She would always tell her that this was her whole life.


    And when for a second in the past, when Kian and her left the city and started living like the normal husband and wife...she had thought that luckily she had escaped that endless cycle that her mother and her grandmother had to live in.


    But then, sitting in thevish hotel''s restroom, she was back again in that life.


    She did not know whether to be happy or cherish that finally, her husband had seeded in something, he had always wanted.


    Should not she be the good wife and lover and be happy in her husband''s happiness??


    Would it make her the bad one to not being able to feel the happiness which she was supposed to have felt?


    The door opened and in came Lana, her shoulder slumped down and took a seat beside Tin.


    "I feel so tired and suffocated by it all."


    Lana said, leaning on the leather sofa. Tina tilted her head to peek at her.


    "Finally, she is happy! That''s what she had always wanted, you know!"


    Lana remarked, pointing it to Madison. Her girlfriend''s happiness knew no bounds.


    Madison liked being in power, controlling the situations and being at the top.


    Working with Kian and the Wilson Corp had changed her andshe could note back to ept a life thatcked her being working for the topmost corporate person.


    "It''s not like I m not happy for her...I actually M, you know considering the hard work she had put through in bringing Kian back to where he was...Kian only worked the model out, she looked out for the architecture to build it, investors to invest in, finding viable markets for it to sell...working as the middle person is never easy... it''s even harder than the topmost person for whom the work is being done..."


    Lana went on. It all made sense how much she appreciated Madison''s work. She really did but even though she could not bring in it herself to be happy the same way.


    "...but all of this would mean, more work and work and I feel like our past will repeat again and I won''t be even able to do anything...the past where we did notst!"


    She concluded, sadly. It had been this reason...that Madison''s nature would always make her choose work even before everything and anyone and Lana was not ready to go through that disappointment again.


    "I m not happy either..."


    Tinsley mumbled out and that made Lana look at her, with questioning eyes.


    She could not perceive why would this not make Tinsley happy?? Her husband finally seeded back and she was not happy??


    It did not make sense to Lana at all that she sat upright, focusing her eyes on Tin.


    "I have been born to this life of spotlight and mour, having everything but theplexity of it that I could not be what I want to be always pierced me throughout my entire life...even though I had not any option but to ept it."


    She was for the very first time, opening up to someone about how she had felt like her entire life when outsiders viewed her as the lucky one, having it all and did not have to worry about anything.


    "When I got married to Kian due to situations and it led us to that town...it would be so cruel and selfish of me to say, I was finally happy to live like the normal people...with no worries about what dress I should wear the other day, my posture, if I had eaten too much, my figure, maintaining the doll face...being the face of my family''s dignity."


    Tin rubbed away the tear that poured out of her eyes. She could see her life shing before her simultaneously as she described about it.


    "I felt alive...a chance to be myself when I was in that small apartment with my husband, nobody to judge if I had not walked straight or if my belly was not that t...and now I m back here at it again and have to look the part as perfectly as I could in order not to embarrass him."


    Lana felt the intensity of the feeling of dissatisfaction and how much Tin was afraid of transitioning back to a phase of life, she always dreamt of escaping.


    "How could it make me happy, Lana??


    And the way, I ruined things a while ago and the dejected face he made, walking away from me...I don''t even know if this time, I could do it...back then I had my mother to guide me through it if I did anything out of order."


    Tin closed her eyes, sighing, missing her mother even when Marshally could never stand up for her when her father and all the men in the family suppressed her feminity down, putting in its ce the one they wanted her to see in.


    "I love him...I love him so much...I have loved him ever since we were kids and it hurts when he feels low because of me...knowing I m the reason behind it all...behind everything!"


    Tinsley remarked, recalling how one truth that Valeria imed she knew could ruin everything for her with Kian and she was back in their life for good.


    "Well then friend, you are not the only one to be feeling like that...I m exactly where you think you are."


    Lana held Tin''s hand in hers, rubbing the back with her palm trying to warm her up, givingfort.


    "The only reality that makes me question myself as if it makes us selfish for not being happy in their happiness, the way we should be?"


    Lana shrugged her own question off, not knowing the answer to it by then. Tinsley did not respond either, not knowing it either.


    "Only time could tell, Tinsley that if this time would end up being the same one in the past and we can''t do in the meantime but to suck it up and get up, go and stand beside the ones we love, beyond everything and everyone."


    Tinsley nodded, understanding Lana''s words. They both shared a hug, in silence, findingfort in each other arms and then Lana got up.


    She straightened her bodycon orange dress and applied lipstick back on her lips, getting ready to get back on the party again.


    "So I m going to go and stand beside her, and pretend to understand even when I could understand nothing of business...thest thing is I m going to sue my brother for throwing this party!"


    Lanained and that made Tinsleyugh. It was always a sight to see how John would have to give in to every demand of his little sister.


    Right after Lana left, Tin stood up too to get back on the other side. But then the door hung opened and in came the one woman...that Tinsley felt threatened of for her marriage.

 Chapter 164 - STAY AWAY FRON MY HUSBAND!!!

    PRECAP


    "I love him...I love him so much...I have loved him ever since we were kids and it hurts when he feels low because of me...knowing I m the reason behind it all...behind everything!"


    Tinsley remarked, recalling how one truth that Valeria imed she knew could ruin everything for her with Kian and she was back in their life for good..


    "Well then friend, you are not the only one to be feeling like that...I m exactly where you think you are."


    Lana held Tin''s hand in hers, rubbing the back with her palm trying to warm her up, givingfort.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley came face to face with her supposed arch-nemesis.


    Thea Stilton, a woman of 5ft 9'', blonde wavy hairs, blue eyes, in business pants and coats, having that ssy aura around herself.


    "Do I know you?"


    Thea asked, Tinsley as she kept her eyes on her in her famous British ent, a smile enveloping her face.


    Tinsley never saw any person to be herpetitor. And tonight had changed that thing.


    She had apetitor right in front of her who was pretty, ssy, intelligent unlike her and had the British ent of everything.


    "I m Mrs Randall!"


    Tinsley yed her part, extending her hand to Thea and it made her smirk. Thea epted her hand, shaking it.


    "Never knew Kian would settle with a redhead??"


    Thea remarked, with a smile still encased on her face even though she exactly knew what kind of game was being yed at the moment.


    "What is that supposed to mean??"


    Tinsley implored right away, snatching her hand away from Thea as if she had caught the que from her.


    When Thea did not answer her right away, Tinsley dropped in without a care. She did not think she needed to beat around the bushes and go right into it.


    "Look I do not care what you think of yourself but let me remind you, he is my husband now and he is mine so be a respectful woman, and set your eyes at someone else. "


    Tinsley had never been so confident in her life to scold out someone the way she did.


    She had always been the reserved one, the mute princess, never voicing her out distress and going with the flow kind.


    For the very first time,ing out of her shell, she felt so alive and free that she wanted to scream out to the world.


    "I have no idea by introducing yourself as Mrs Randall, you were referring to Kian at all!"


    Thea let out and it had no limits how much that offended Tinsley right away. How dare she??...how could she get the right to judge her??


    "And love, Kian, your husband and I are working buddies now...you will have to get used to seeing him together with me!"


    Thea was the one who bought the stocks up in Asia, voluntarily and invested it all over there.


    Another reason why Kian got viral all over the world in just one night. Thea Stilton ran her father''s conglomerate chain of hotels all over the world and being the boss of her own, she could not find the best opportunity to be back in Kian''s life if not by this.


    "You will work with him only during the working hours, but it is I to whom he would always return...to his wife!"


    Tinsley sassed and picked her handbag up and stormed out of the restroom, leaving Thea all alone there.


    Closing the door behind her, Tinsley took a deep breath, closing her eyes. She had confronted the one person, she felt so threatened by.


    It was clear in her eyes that she was here to do more than business with her husband.


    Meanwhile, Thea sighed, iming herself down. She had been pushed out of one man she had ever fancied in her life by Serena Williams and now there was this, redhead shawty, threatening her already.


    She was not going to back away so easily this time. It was the promise she had made to herself not after knowing exactly in what kind of circumstances, they were both married.


    His marriage to her was to protect her from Herrington and then it was not out of love but a sole arrangement to save her life.


    The fool redhead was fantasising herself to be the centre of Kian''s world. And she had known him better than anyone for more than fifteen years and it only had been Serena Williams, who ever caught his attention.


    Perhaps, that was the reason why she had left in the first ce because there was nothing to fight for when he had already fallen for her.


    But it was not the case this time, so she was not going to go away like the previous time.


    Tinsley''s eyes searched for her husband and when she finally saw him, she walked up to him, without the sense of anxiety of what people might say or think of her.


    Kian was busy discussing business, what his next step would be and what to expect next when he felt a tap on his shoulder, he tilted his head a little to see his wife, standing right behind him.


    "Yes??"


    He asked, turning around. The suit-d men eyes fell upon Tinsley and she did not respond to her husband.


    "Gentlemen, this is my wife, Tinsley Randa..."


    He could notplete the line of introducing her to these men as she sucked in his lips inside her mouth and he was taken aback by her behaviour.


    She cupped his face in between her palms and smooched his lips, right in front of all the invitees and guests.


    Lana urged Madison to look towards the left and she could not believe what she was ncing at.


    The media started snapping pictures of the couple, making out right before everyone in the wide-open hall.


    Kian was a goner as she rubbed her lower abdomen on his crotch and he had no idea why she was being so bold as to pull out a show in front of everyone.


    Thea came out of the restroom and when she saw the crowd to be so silent, she followed their gazes and rolled her eyes away, cursing and getting back inside the restroom.


    One of herce slipped off of her shoulder but she was in a different world to be bothered by it, Kian noticed it and tried to straighten it for her.


    It was then he noticed that, through the periphery of his eyes, men eyeing his wife like a fucking piece of meat.


    He pulled away from her and Tinsley''s eyes were hooded with lust. He could see that, he held her wrist and dragged her away to their hotel suite.


    Back inside, she did not stop for one moment and got down on her knees, trying to open his belt and take off his pants.


    "What the fuck was that....fuck!!"


    Kian cursed out, even before he could outburst at her, closing his eyes as she started to stroke him with her small hands.


    "I need you!"


    It was all she said and all the longings, all the time they had spent separated, he could not bear it, neither could she.


    He picked her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist. He made her sit on the vanity and scooted her skirt up.


    She spread her thighs, voluntarily letting him get in between her and he did not waste for another moment as he parted her underwear to the side, not bothering to take it off entirely and mmed right inside her.


    She whimpered out at the sudden intrusion, held onto his biceps as he did not give her a moment to get ustomed to his size and started ramming in and out with urgency.


    The vanity started shaking, so did their bodies. She moaned out as he increased his pace.


    Nothing about this was lovemaking. The one lovers make when they had not been with each other for an amount of time, they had been.


    This was pure sex, a pure lust, as he used her body to quench his thirst for her body.


    And within no seconds, he exploded right inside of her and stopped all his movement.


    She hugged him to herself as he breathed away in the crook of her neck. She did not finish but it did not matter for her at that moment.


    He got off of her and wore his pants back, straightening his shirt. She looked at him with a questioning look.


    "What??"


    He asked as she saw her narrow green eyes directed at him. She kept sitting on her spot, not bothering to cover herself.


    "You are not staying the night?"


    She implored, expectantly that he would. But then he shook his head in dismissal.


    "There''s an after-party and it''s with all the investors, I need to go!"


    He said and wore his shoes back and was about to head out, opening the door but stopped when he heard her.


    "You are going back to her?? Aren''tyou??"

 Chapter 165 - UNTILL HE SAW HER...

    PRECAP


    "And love, Kian, your husband and I are working buddies now...you will have to get used to seeing him together with me!"


    Thea was the one who bought the stocks up in Asia, voluntarily and invested it all over there.

    He said and wore his shoes back and was about to head out, opening the door but stopped when he heard her.


    "You are going back to her?? Aren''tyou??"


    Tinsley asked, out of extreme anger, jealousy and fury. And her husband saw it in her eyes.


    She must have thought that he was not keeping his eyes through the entire evening after the press fiasco, but he was.


    He saw how her eyes gleamed with fire in them when Thea neared him and started talking about business.


    He would always have his eyes for her, no matter what. It was the only fact about their rtionship, he hade to acknowledge and that was...he waspletely attracted to her, in a very earth-shattering way.


    "What do you mean??"


    He questioned, not wanting to let her know that he knew what she meant.


    "I m talking about Thea Stilton. Your aunt was here and she told me how that Stilton girl is better suited to be your wife than me..."


    Tinsley did not intend to hide anything from him this time. She had seen the consequences of it before and so she did not bother hiding the news about Valeria.


    Kian was a bit taken aback by listening to the name of Valeria. He could not fathom the fact that she was actually here?


    But how could she?? It was something he could not understand. He had not heard or spoken from his aunt since that fateful day of his wedding to his wife.


    "She is the one who paid that journalist to humiliate me!"


    Tin went on with the usations. At that point, all she wanted was for him to stay with her rather than going to the party and back to Thea.


    So she kept revealing information after information so that he would see how much hard of a day she had and he would stay back andfort her.


    It was at that point that infuriated skin He did not like the fact that Tinsley was trying to me someone else for herck of interest in his work and ignorance of what he liked doing.


    Before she could say more, he cut her in, stopping her.


    "It''s not Valeria but you, Tinsley. It''s on you for that media incident, that you have no interest or are ignorant to my work."


    Tinsley looked at him, astonished that how he was totally disbelieving her words even before trying to understand how she felt and listen to her more.


    "ming other people never solves your problem. Try to understand that first and apply it."


    He remarked and then got ready to go back again. Tinsley could not help but ponder about what he said.


    Some of what he said, were indeed true but that was not what she wanted from him right then. All she wanted at the moment was him and his presence.


    "So that this does not happen again, try to change yourself and know things. We are not anymore living the lives that we have been living before...holiday is over, wake up!"


    And indeed holiday was over, after that day and night, nothing ever remained the same.


    Kian had left the responsibility in Madison''s hands to get them a mansion in the city hub and the building for their newpany office.


    With the sales still on a hike, everything happened very quickly. Now living in a huge castle-like mansion, Tinsley felt like she got back to her prison.


    More so, she felt so lonely and alone. Ever since that sessful night, Kian was never off work.


    The newpany, just in the starting phase, called forplete dedication to work before it would copse in the first ce.


    He went back to his old habits of a workaholic, going to work in the early morning and returningte after midnight.


    Tinsley would wait up for him past the clock and when he would return, she would have been in deep sleep.


    The morning, she would wake up, he would already have left for work. Their contact even though they lived under the same roof, same bed, had gotten so minimal that it was very disturbing.


    Tinsley tried to spend her time by indulging in her hobbies and started to paint again.


    It was something she liked and stopped doing when she turned eighteen because her father told her to stop and she had to listen to him no matter what.


    So here, she was, waiting outside of a painting shop for her Uber back home. Even with the financial upliftment, they were yet to buy the rich people materials like cars.


    Madison only bought one for Kian after buying the mansion. She got busy right after that.


    It was Lana who advised Tinsley to start dwelling on her hobbies as both of their lovers were superbly at the moment and could not spend time with them.


    Tinsley took that time and indeed it was refreshing to keep herself busy other than staring at the housekeeper, doing away her job from cooking to cleaning.


    Suddenly a ck Mercedes pulled over, and she looked at the person''s face as the ss window rolled down.


    It was John Kravinshky. Although they had never many encounters, but when he offered her the lift, she took it without hesitation.


    The driver kept her painting materials on the trunk and then got back on his seat and started the engine.


    "Why did you not drive to here??"


    John questioned and Tinsley replied that she at the moment had no car of her own. To which John reacted indifferently, Kian had enough stocks right now to afford at least ten Audi all by himself.


    Tinsley excused herself saying she did not know much about the expense part yet. Things were still new for her.


    It was then, she got reminded of the time, she had asked Kian to take them away in for a small vacation because they never had any time for a honeymoon and he replied negatively, saying that he needed to work so that he could buy back all the shares he hadnded to his investors.


    This time alone, he was not going tomit the same mistake he didst time. He wanted to make apany of only himself, retaining a maximum of the stock to himself alone.


    And Tinsley could not help but think maybe that was why he was not overexpressing on unnecessary items, not that she minded.


    When she told the same reason to John. It was a ck hole that she had told him and the very next day, Kian came rushing to her for revealing a business secret to his business partner.


    They fought for that in the afternoon as John came to know what were the motives of Kian and was not ready to sell back the shares to Kian.


    And Kian med all of it to Tinsley and herself for not being able to keep a secret.


    Day by day, their rtionship was falling and she could not do anything but paint her pain away.


    He spent his days working, she married herself under her paintings. They became two strangers in the bug house who only met sometimes at the dinner table.


    She had tried every way to get back his attention and with no Madison to advise her either, she could not work out any sessful ns for herself.


    But when he announced that he was going to host his first fundraising event, Tinsley took the opportunity to prepare everything by herself and to get him be proud of her.


    Everything she did and worked hard for was based on the finest of luxuries and on the day of the event, everyoneplimented her.


    And her husband was ecstatic. She finally felt valued in his eyes and could not be more happier about her sess.


    Kian was so proud of her and could not part his eyes away from his wife until he saw her.

    THANK YOU.

 Chapter 166 - "YOU LOOK STUNNING!"

    Tinsley was dressed in red and tied her red hairs in a neatly French bun.


    She applied a little makeup and then got out of her enormous bedroom. It was of the same size as the one she used to have back at home.


    When Kian told her about the fundraising event, she asked him if she could do the preparations and even though at first, he was not sure if he should let her, considering the past events, regardless of it all, he chose to give her a chance.


    And from one week, she had been doing nothing but preparing for this event with everything in her power.


    She had called in for the finest and luxurious caterers, including the designers and house decorators. The ones her mother used to call for.


    The head of the event decorator was shocked to see her and they had a brief conversation about everything else.


    She did not want tock behind in any way and so she made sure that everything was perfect and to its great richness..


    And somehow, she could not help but think maybe after this...if she could sessfully host this party, then he might start easing back with her??


    It was just a silly thought in her mind and she was going with it. When she was done dressing for the event, she turned around to head out and greet the guests but then her stature jerked backwards on seeing, a standing Kian by the threshold of the door.


    "You look beautiful!"


    He said. He had been standing there for a while now, not being able to take his eyes off of her.


    When he came back from his office which was still not a big office, like the one he used to have. He had asked Madison to look for a huge plot ofnd to build hispany''s first headquarter.


    The moment, he stepped inside, today earlier than the other days because of his first fundraising event, he could not believe the kind of nice, and morous work, his wife had done to this big lonely mansion.


    He made his way straight upstairs to their bedroom and found her in the bathroom, showering, humming her favourite song.


    He thought of going in but then they have not been on good terms ever since that incident.


    He hardly saw her. Their timing was so different. By the time he arrived home, past midnight, she would be deep asleep and by the time he would go away for work, she would be asleep at that time too.


    So they hardly had any encounters. Their sex life had taken a long pause and he would be lying to himself if he said, he did not miss her.


    Everything, he woulde to bed,te at night, her soft body sleeping beside him would make his hands itch so much to not just flip her to his side and have his way with her.


    But it was not like that. Everything was always not that simple. He would be so tired and exhausted by the time, he would reach home that the moment, his body would hit the soft mattress of the bed, he would be out like a light.


    It had been like that for a month and a half now. Even though they were husband and wife, they had be a sort of like strangers to each others in these days.


    Tinsley had no idea that he had been standing there all alone, for how long? She had no clue.


    He walked towards her and she could feel the goosebumps rising up on her body.


    When had she had such kind of attention from him??


    She thought to herself and the answer was not likeable. He got near her and halted on his steps right before her.


    She licked her lips, not knowing what to say to him. She did notice that he was clean and had worn the suit, she had taken out for him for the day.


    Kian was hardly controlling himself. He did not want to scare her by jumping on her bones although, in that tight body-hugging red dress, she looked ethereal.


    "You did a nice job...and I m...I appreciate it!"


    He could never understand how he could stutter in front of her and not before all that board members, where he would give long speeches regarding work.


    It always fascinated him how she could make him do things or be something...someone, he never really thought he could ever be.


    Tinsley''s eyes lit up, the moment she heard thosepliments from him. She could not believe her ears when she heard him.


    "Really?"


    She could not help but ask him that to be sure that she just heard what he had told just now.


    He nodded his head and the small bright smile that covered her face right after, was worth it for him to see her like that.


    In all these moments, he had almost forgotten the fact, that he had bought a gift for her.


    He was passing by the big jewellery store and his eyes fell on this stunning ruby stud diamond set, showcased, that he could not stop himself from buying it for her.


    "Thank you!"


    Tinsley remarked and he shook his head, putting his right forefinger on her lips, stopping her from speaking any further.


    It was then, he took out the set from behind him. He had been holding behind him all these moments.


    He had no idea or a damn clue if she woulde to love it and wear it just for him, tonight?? But he was hopeful that she would.


    When he opened the set box, Tinsley''s eyes widened, ncing at the beautiful jewellery set.


    "Kian!! This is so breathtaking."


    She mumbled out, eyes stuck to the ne and the small matching flower-shaped earrings, putting her hand on her chest.


    It had been so long since she saw one nice piece of jewellery sets like this one. Before her parents died, it was like a usual asion to buy one of these diamonds or expensive rubies, sapphires or ivories...her mother was a sucker for these expensive stones.


    Kian was delighted at her reaction. He took the ne off of the box and so the earrings, throwing the box away.


    "I bought it for you!"


    He said, proudly and she looked up into his eyes, not being able to grasp the words from her husband''s mouth at the moment.


    "Jesus Christ! It must have cost you a fortune!"


    The words came out of her mouth all together. It was not the kind of reaction, she would have had before her parents were alive.


    Earlier, she did not even bother to know the price before buying the materials for herself. But after everything they had been through, she could not bring herself to ept such a hugely expensive gift.


    Not after, when they just fought, a few days back about how he was saving to buy all his stocks back from John.


    "You should not have bought this for me! I don''t need it!"


    She let out, backing away from the jewellery and Kian was quick to hold her steady.


    "It did not cost me a fortune!"


    He lied and Tinsley raised her eyebrows at him. She knew what pieces were expensive and inexpensive.


    "Fuck! Fine! It did cost okay? But I have never given you something valuable to match your upbringing as your husband and now, I can afford things like these again so will you stopining about it and be the good wife to wear it with a smile?"


    He questioned her in one breathe, not leaving any ce for her to argue back. After a moment of silence, not wanting to ruin this situation, Tinsley gave in.


    She turned around and he pushed her red hair aside, sticking the ne around her delicate neck.


    It was heavy and she could feel the weight of the stones dangling around her neck. He made her wear the earrings too, after going through a bit of difficulty.


    When she flipped around to face him, he was awed at her beauty. The off-shoulder red dress with the ne and the earrings, her hair tied, she resembled the look of a real to life princess.


    "You look so stunning!"


    He was at a loss for the right word to describe her. But he could not feel anything after that as she had imed his lips in hers, wrapping her hands around his cor.


    He missed kissing her. He missed how she tasted, how soft and fragile her body felt against his as he held onto her waist tightly, pulling her more closely than ever.


    "Fuck!! I want you so bad, you have no idea!"


    He groaned out. She could feel his hardness poking at her lower abdomen and it made her feel so needy for her husband''s love.


    "I need you too!"


    She mumbled out, he pulled away after onest kiss before he lost all his resistance.


    "After the party, wait for me, wearing nothing but this jewellery!"


    He let out and pecked her lips one more time, before leaving her alone, wanting for more.

 Chapter 167 - "I HAVE A WIFE NOW! "

    PRECAP


    "Fuck!! I want you so bad, you have no idea!"


    He groaned out. She could feel his hardness poking at her lower abdomen and it made her feel so needy for her husband''s love.


    "I need you too!"


    She mumbled out, he pulled away after onest kiss before he lost all his resistance.


    "After the party, wait for me, wearing nothing but this jewellery!"


    He let out and pecked her lips one more time, before leaving her alone, wanting for more.


    ________________________________________________


    In the middle of the party, everyone could not take their eyes off of his wife....his beautiful wife.


    Looking so elegant in that red dress and the jewellery...outshining everyone of the prettydies in that hall.


    Kian felt very proud and wanted nothing more than to have this event be done with so that he could take her back to their bedroom and have his way with her.


    As she walked around, stealing minute and tiny nces of her handsome husband, she collided against that one person she hade to be despised of in her life.


    It was none other than Thea Stilton. Dressed in a simple summer baby pink frock. No efforts were put to look up to the style of this event as if she was greater and higher of it all.


    "That is indeed a very eye catching ne!"


    She remarked and Tinsley could not help from touching it with her hand.


    Even though she could feel it''s a weight hanging around her neck but she could not stop herself from touching it, to see if it was really there every time someoneplimented her about it.


    "My husband gifted it to me for tonight!"


    Tinsley very proudly replied and she could almost see the glint of jealousy in Thea''s eyes but she very nicely managed it and submerged the emotion inside her.


    "He always had good tastes! How do I know??"


    Thea dropped the question for Tinsley to wonder.


    Tinsley always remembered how Kian imed that there was no one before her.


    He had many one night flings but how none of them was serious. How he used sex as a distraction from work and stress but it was with only her that he had felt more than just physical pleasure with her.


    And she believed him. Even standing before his supposedly interested woman, as known by others, she still believed him...or was trying to.


    "It was not me! Don''t worry! It is not me who you should be worried about, Tinsley."


    Thea remarked and Tinsley narrowed her eyes at her, not understanding exactly what she was trying to say.


    "Look in the direction of the entrance!"


    Tinsley tilted her head sideways and saw Valeriaing inside. She recalled of not inviting her here.


    But when Valeria Wilson was here, how could she kick her out of the mansion??


    Tinsley looked in the direction of her husband who too seemed disturbed seeing his aunt here.


    "It is not her either!"


    Thea said and urged Tinsley to look back at the entrance and when she did. She saw a woman...a very thick woman with chocte skin, dressed in sparkle blue, her ck hair braided so neatly.


    "It is her...you should feel threatened of!"


    Thea let out and that made Tinsley to look back at her husband, who this time was not expressing anger like thest time when Valeria came in.


    This time, it was a mixture of shock and disbelief in his own eyes. The woman turned around and her eyes matched with Kian''s, and as if time had gone static...unlike the other times, this time, Kian did not part his eyes away.


    And it hit her hard. It''s Tinsley right where Thes wanted her to hurt. Thea smirked.


    "Serena Williams! It always had been her...always! The first woman, ever to hold Kian''s interest, not even me...she left him and he searched for her everywhere. "


    It was for the very first time, Tinsley was listening to this story. And her ears were bleeding from hearing it.


    "He could not love again after her. I left when they were together because there was no chance someone could get in between them."


    Thea continued. Tinsley could not part her eyes from her husband admiring another woman for the very first time in front of her.


    "And I m back now because she was not there with him anymore. But she is here again now!"


    Tinsley could only hear the part, "she is here again now!". And she did not know how to feel about it?


    The fact that her husband had lied to her that there was no woman before her with whom he was serious and wanted to go beyond.


    " So if you and Kian share that same bond, I will leave like thest time...as it would already be a losing game for me to fight against love!"


    Thea gave her ultimatum to Tinsley and she had no words left in her mouth how to address or feel about it.


    "But now with her back..."


    Thea pointed at Serena, who was smiling gracefully at Kian and Tinsley already started feeling threatened.


    "I don''t think you or me would evenst a day!"


    Thea cruelly throttled, pinching more at Tinsley''s insecurities which were already kick-starting all over her body and soul.


    Their rtionship had not been in a good state ever since everything changed and just a while ago, when it seemed they were only starting to ease back again into each other...another woman from his past had toe knocking at their door!


    "Good luck in keeping your husband all to yourself!"


    Thea bid her luck, smirking and then walking away. Tinsley was way too lost at the moment to notice her presence gone.


    It was at that moment, Kian''s eyes fell upon her. And as if he had sensed her insecurities and inhibitions, he was about to walk towards her...in a need to exin to her before she assumed anything wrong.


    But Tinsley, feeling betrayed and to see her husband being swayed off of his feet a moment ago by a different woman that was not her...she turned back and strode away from there before she broke loose in front of everyone.


    Kian was stopped by her. He felt her hand on his wrist and he looked up at her face...the one which he could not go without staring at for the day.


    "Kian!"


    She called out and Kian pulled his hand off from her. Serena got the hint that he was not in the least pleased to see her.


    "It has been long and you have not changed anymore!"


    She beheld, with the slight smile ying on her red full lips. Kian''s eyes couldn''t help from falling on those and he cursed internally for even thinking about another woman in that way when his wife was here...somewhere.


    "Excuse me! "


    He excused himself and could not bear to stand in the crowd anymore and headed inside his study when he could not find his wife.


    He closed the door behind him and walked inside the darkroom only to switch the lights on and see his aunt sitting on his head chair.


    "Look who is here...if it''s not my nephew!"


    Valeriamented, getting up from the chair and walking towards him. Kian was extremely annoyed at this point to see her hereafter everything she had put them through.


    "What the hell are you even doing here??"


    He questioned roughly. And Valeria did not flinch back one bit. She had handled his temper for more than twenty-five years. She was not afraid of him or his outburst.


    She had practically raised the boy...made him a man but in her eyes, he would always be that little scared boy, hiding underneath the broken table in the orphanage.


    "Here to right the wrongs."


    "You called her here?? Didn''t you??"


    Kian was quick to ask her and Valeria did not answer back. It was very clear to him who could do this.


    "Why now?? Why not when I begged you to look for her?? When you said she was not the right one!!! Why fucking now??"


    Kian yelled back, frustrated, kicking the woodenmp off. Valeria stepped backwards.


    "I know...I have not been considerate of my little boy''s happiness...his likes and dislike but here I m now...trying to put it all back to its ces. "


    Valeria said, extending her hand trying to touch his face but Kian pped her hand away.


    "Well, it''s toote now!"


    "It''s never toote to rekindle your love!"


    Valeria was stressed and Kian fumed inside not knowing how to react to that statement.


    "I have a wife now!"


    He said and got out of the room. He saw Serena and strode towards her, held her hand and turned her around secretly.


    "Come with me now!"


    He pulled her away towards the secluded space of the mansion as Tinsley stood in the corner, watching them.

    PRECAP


    "Serena Williams! It always had been her...always! The first woman, ever to hold Kian''s interest, not even me...she left him and he searched for her everywhere. "


    It was for the very first time, Tinsley was listening to this story. And her ears were bleeding from hearing it.


    "He could not love again after her. I left when they were together because there was no chance someone could get in between them.".


    Thea continued. Tinsley could not part her eyes from her husband admiring another woman for the very first time in front of her.

    "Come with me now!"


    He pulled her away towards the secluded space of the mansion as Tinsley stood in the corner, watching them.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley saw them walking away and even though she wanted to follow them, stop her husband, she did not.


    She remained static on her feet, on her spot and waited if her husband would actually bothering back to her on his own.


    ________________________________________________


    He locked himself and Serena inside one of the many guestrooms.


    "Why are you here??"


    Kian was quick to question, the moment he closed the door behind them. He did not want anybody to see them.


    "I told you, I m here to see you!"


    Serena answered, with a smooth smile and if before that smile made him crazy, not anymore. It made him irritated.


    "Why??"


    Kian pressed. He knew what was going to happen if Tinsley found out. Truth to be told, he was afraid for the first time in his life to be caught in a lie.


    He had portrayed himself to be this perfect husband in front of her and now that a woman from his past was here, about whom he never mentioned to his wife or rather lied in a straight face that such woman never existed in his life was making him feel sick.


    "Why are you getting so hyper about this??? Are you not happy to see me??"


    Serena implored and Kian rolled his eyes at her. He did not know how to react after seeing the woman about whom he had thought all day and night...not recently though.


    "I m married, Serena!"


    He frustratedly spat out and waited for Serena to give a reaction. He had no clue why after all these years...when he was finally content with his wife, she had to show up?


    "I know! I heard about it!"


    When she spoke so calmly about it, it disturbed him a little, to think that she was not affected by the news of him being married.


    And at that moment, he realized that he did not feel that rush either...the one which he used to feel before around her.


    Maybe they both felt out of it all these years?? And as much as he was panicked to see her here before Tinsley could find out, he did not feel anything else anymore.


    "I heard she is really pretty! A redhead!"


    Serena smiled and Kian could not help the small grin on his face when he thought about the red heard part.


    It made him remember of the times when they were happy in the initial months of their marriage when there was a time, he could not go a single night without having her...the number of times, he would joke about her red hairs.


    "She is...very beautiful indeed!"


    He concluded and Serena noticed that he was falling for his wife even without him knowing about it.


    His mind had strictly forbidden of him ever falling for a woman but could his heart remain calibrated?


    "I would like to meet her! Hope you do not mind!"


    "Actually, I would love that too!"


    Kian said after a while. It was as if after those long year''s without closure when she had disappeared, this was the closure to their rtionship.


    Soon right after, Kian and Serena made their way back into the party hall. His eyes searched for his wife amongst the crowd and saw her near the bar.


    Tinsley had been drinking ever since she saw what she had seen. Madison and Lana tried to talk her back but it was useless.


    She had seen her husband apany a fucking woman inside one of those guest rooms and she could not even do anything about it.


    That was her life now and she was drinking away in sorrow, self-pity and hurt...the deep ache, the stupid love was causing her of.


    "Tinsley?"


    She tilted her head to see him and her. Her eyes racked up and down, taking in Serena''s view close up.


    She was a thick woman, unlike her who was so thin and almost had no curves like Serena and it made her more furious as to knowing that men loved curvacious women.


    "Meet Serena Williams...Serena this is my wife, Tinsley Randall!"


    Kian introduced both the women, with a charming smile on his face. Serena extended her hand towards Tinsley for a handshake.


    "I have heard a lot about you! It''s really nice to finally meet you!"


    Tinsley just kept staring at her with straight eyes, not responding at all. Serena awkwardly looked back at Kian and Tinsley followed her gaze.


    It was then out of being furious, she shook Serena''s hand hard and red at her.


    "I hope you two had fun fucking each other''s brain!"


    Tinsley fumed and narrowed her eyes at Kian before thrashing her way out of there.


    Kian excused himself and followed his wife. She was about to lock the room when Kian forcefully pushed inside.


    "What the hell was that??"


    Kian angrily let out. There were guests near the bar who heard her. But Tinsley cared so less at that moment. She did not care about anything at all.


    She kicked off her heels and then started to unzip her dress. She was struggling to get out of it.


    She had had enough of this nonsense party. She just wanted to the ckout of everything.


    Kian groaned under his breath and walked forward to help her out of the dress. She was ignoring his presence intentionally in the room.


    "Let me, please!"


    Kian requested when she struggled under him, not wanting to let him touch her body or even get nearby.


    After a long tug of war, she finally let go and he unzipped her dress slowly peeling it off her body.


    She stepped out of it, standing in all her naked glory, wearing just the jewellery he wanted her to see inter.


    She red at him and made her way inside the bathroom. Kian cursed under his breath for getting turned on by the sight before her.


    He followed her inside the bathroom just when she was getting ready to step inside the bathtub.


    "Listen...you have some wrong impression about what happened..."


    Kian started, trying to at least make her understand. He did not want then to be fighting over a matter which really did not mean anything to him.


    For so long, he had wondered about Serena, how she had been, what would have happened if they met again but tonight, on seeing her here, he did not feel any of those things.


    All he felt was the fear that Tinsley woulde to know things and that might disrupt their rtionship.


    "We had a past but it means nothing to me now... it''s over, Tinsley. It had been over for a long time and I do not even know howe she is here but I assure you nothing happened in between us behind those closed doors..."


    Kian concluded. Tinsley did not respond and continued to give him the straight ignorant face. She could not get over the scene in her head where he was eyeing that woman so admiringly.


    She just could not get that out of her damn head and it was eating her from inside.


    "You have to believe me!!! I meant no harm..."


    "Did you believe me when I said I meant no harm??"


    Tinsley spat and it astonished Kian a little bit. He had never seen her so wrecked and in anger before.


    "Did you take it easy on me??"


    She asked him, her chest heaving up and down with extreme fury. Even though the view before him was extremely disturbing, he tried to maintain hisposure.


    "Then why should I believe you?? No...no!!! Why do I even care about if you did something or not??


    What is even left of this marriage that was forced upon you??


    Isn''t it?? I could just go have anyone else and free you from this misery!!"


    And that was it. It hit Kian straight where she aimed at. He strode towards her and pulled her naked body to his clothed ones, despite her screams and struggles.

    It was then out of being furious, she shook Serena''s hand hard and red at her.

    And that was it. It hit Kian straight where she aimed at. He strode towards her and pulled her naked body to his clothed ones, despite her screams and struggles.


    "Leave me!!! Fucking let go of me, you asshole!!"


    She broke down, whimpering out the words with extreme difficulty. Her drunkard and over-emotional state was not the best way to deal with the present situation.


    "I hate you!!! I don''t wanna be with you!!! I give up!!!"


    She kept struggling and he was not ready to let go of her either. Their moving bodies knocked off the mug and the shampoo bottles.


    "I wish I never had fallen for you!"


    And in that very moment, Kian let go of her all of a sudden as if those words him very hard.


    Tinsley stepped backwards and Kian remained static on his spot. She wrapped the nearby towel around her body.


    She rubbed away her tears, breathing high and feeling a pounding headache took over her body.


    Kian looked up into her eyes and he saw a void...the kind of void that shook him to his core.


    The deep fear of having to lose her, he could not bear that. Not one bit. Did he go too far in pushing her away??


    And it was when he got down on his knees as if defeated and a man who had lost everything.


    Tinsley eyed him with astonishment, not getting what he was trying to say or do. She held onto the ends of the towel tightly around her body.


    "Punish me!!"


    His hoarse voice was barely audible. Yet she could make it what he was asking her of.


    "Punish me for inflicting so much pain!"


    He urged, still on his knees, hands rested on both his thighs, in a surrendering pose in front of his wife.


    Tinsley''s eyes got blurry with tears and exhaustion. She could not believe the things her ears were hearing.


    "Punish me..."


    Kian could not finish what he was about to say as Tinsley fell down upon him, losing her bnce and consciousness.


    He was quick to hold her in his arms and shook her, trying to wake her up. He could smell the alcohol from her open mouth and figured out that she was hungover.


    He picked her up in bridal style and carried her to their bed. Slowly dropping her on the bed, he took her towel off and pulled the duvet over her nude body.


    He walked inside their walk-in closet and searched for her underwear. It was then he had noticed that the entire closet was almost empty with only a few clothes...most of them bought from before.


    She had not shopped anything for her and it had been two months in since hispany went global. He also realized that he did not bother getting a car for her.


    "


    What is even left of this marriage that was forced upon you??


    Isn''t it?? I could just go have anyone else and free you from this misery!!"


    Her words resonated around inside his mind. He had punished her with his silent treatment for too long for something so petty...he knew that it was petty.


    Yet he kicked her out of the house, created a distance between them. Not because of her mistake...not entirely for that.


    But because of his fear. Her lies were a red signal for him, stopping himself from getting more close to her...to protect himself.


    And maybe in his struggle to create a distance between them, he had not realized that he was pushing her too far to the point of hering to questioning their marriage and ending it.


    It was that shook him to the core. He could never imagine a life without her in it as his wife anymore.


    No matter how they had gotten married...whether it was for convenience or just to solely protect her, she was bound to him for life and he did not mind being stuck to her for life...for some weird reason, he still needed to figure out.


    "I wish I never had fallen for you!"


    And this was the kick right onto his gut that made him fall directly on his knees beneath her, defeated and surrendering.


    He did not know...yet to figure out if her love for him was real and not fake like Serena''s.


    It had made it so difficult for him to try and put a line of distinction between what was real and what was not real.


    But still, her deration of wishing to had never fallen for him, made him feel that tight squeeze in his heart, that was so painful, he could not bear it...no matter however much tough he was of a man.


    He came back with her underwear and sat beside her on the bed. Peeling of the duvet off of her, he tried to make her wear the underwear. She stirred in her sleep, turning to the other side.


    He could not describe the intense grief and guilt, he felt at that time staring right onto her so innocent face, so naive...how could he even think of using her of something so heinous??


    He pats her head and she hummed in her sleep, leaning more close to this unknown touch offort.


    He leaned down to drop a chaste kiss on her forehead. He switched the lights off and headed outside to see the party was long over.


    The staff were getting the hall cleaned, the bartender was fixing the leftover drinks. He was watching them from the balcony.


    "Madi? Get my jet ready in two hours!"


    It was a simple call, he had made asking Madi for a simple request and before she could implore why, he had hung up the call.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley licked her lips, moving on to her sleep. They felt so dry, her head was pounding so hard.


    Suddenly she felt wetness and softness against her lips, and she opened her eyes to see Kian, leaning closer to her face, kissing her lips.


    "You are awake!!! Cool!!"


    He said and getting off the bed to serve her the mango juice and the aspirin to calm her down.


    She took the ss and the pill, narrowing her eyes at him. She gulped the pill down and drank the juice half. He took the ss from her and kept it back on the nightstand.


    It was only then, she had noticed that she was not in their bedroom. She looked around and the room was not that big but big enough to fit in their previous small bedroom in the town.


    There was nothing much inside. Only the closet, a fit in bathroom and some suitcases.


    She turned her gaze back onto him and saw that he was wearing his suit without the coat.


    Where were they exactly?? She thought!!


    "Do not stress your mind thinking where we are??"


    Kian broke the silence. She rememberedst night...what had happened and did not like to be with him at the moment.


    "We are on our jet flying to Hawaii!"


    She frowned, not getting why the hell he was taking her to Hawaii??


    "Why??"


    It was the first word of question that came out of her mouth and he was grateful because for once, he had thought she would also give him that harsh silent treatment.


    But then again, she was not him. She was not ruthless like him. She was not unkind or not forgiving. She was everything that he was not and maybe that was what made her so appealing to him.


    "What why??"


    Kian counter backed and she did not respond. He kept his eyes on her face, staring at her so deep and intensely that it made her feel conscious under his gaze.


    She held onto the duvet closer to her chest, afraid he might say something so hurtful and she would not be ready for it to take it and had a breakdown right before him.


    She was not going to show him her weakness anymore. She had learned that the hard way. Letting someone so deeply into you, giving them the power to openly hurt you, she was not going to do that again.


    "Silly woman!! For our honeymoon of course!"


    He smirked and the world revolved around her head

 Chapter 170 - IN LUST!!!

    PRECAP


    "We are on our jet flying to Hawaii!"


    She frowned, not getting why the hell he was taking her to Hawaii??


    "Why??"


    It was the first word of question that came out of her mouth.


    What why??"


    Kian counter backed and she did not respond.


    "Silly woman!! For our honeymoon of course!"


    He smirked and the world revolved around her head


    ________________________________________________


    It felt like ages had passed and she did not utter any single word next, eyes fixed on him, trying to decide if he was for real or not joking.


    Kian did not part his eyes from hers either.. Her green cornea was the kind of evergreen that would make you want to keep diving deeper and deeper into that forest green world...in search of what''s beneath there.


    When it was time fornding, he stood up from the bed and headed in the direction of their suitcases.


    He opened one and took out a simple in white summer frock from Gi. He bought it for her and she did not move or did anything except for staring at him.


    "Wear it! We are about tond so we need to head out to the seats."


    Kian said, extending the dress to her but she did not bother to react and it was his cue to take matters in his hand.


    She could not tell that his next movement would be peeling of the duvet off of her body in a snap and she shouted at him.


    He only smirked when she sat there on the bed, half-naked up from the torso. Tinsley realized it and tried to hide her breasts with her hands.


    "Not like I have not seen them!"


    He remarked and she was at the point of confusion whether or not to keep hiding her privates from him...the man who had seen her naked in every possible way.


    He came closer and urged her to raise her hands up so that he could put the dress in her. She rolled her eyes and obliged, letting him do whatever the hell he wanted because by now, she hade to know that he would do it either way...no protests could suppress it.


    He sessfully slipped the dress onto her and she fumed like a child for making her wear it against her wishes.


    He pulled her legs down and held the underwear in ce, waiting for her to slip her feet inside.


    She stomped her feet in and he could not help the chuckle, she looked like a child, throwing a tantrum as if things did not go her way.


    He pulled the underwear up and as his fingers touched her inner thighs and made contact with her nude core, she could not help the gasp that passed out of her mouth.


    Kian heard it and he was d that she still reacted to his touches. He ced sweet wet kisses on her thighs and stood up.


    He straightened her red hair with his fingers, cleaning away her sleepy eyes. He leaned into peck her lips, raising her face up, sticking his forefinger on her jaw.


    "There...all ready to go!!"


    He mouthed and when she did not bother to stand up and the announcement of the pilot went by to secure their seat belts.


    Kian picked her out in bridal style. She was taken by shock and squirmed in his hold, trying to get free.


    When he opened the door and came to the front, all her movements stopped because she saw the air hostess, standing on the front, ashamed, bowing her head down for having caught the couple in a moment like this.


    "We are fine!"


    Kian smirked and the air hostess nodded, walking away. He let both of them on the adjacentfortable seats.


    She pulled off of her body from making any contact with his, fuming. Kian only chuckled and bent towards her to secure the belt around her waist.


    He intentionally lingered his fingers on her belly and making contact with her heavy breasts, making her close her eyes and try to maintain her stature.


    When the nended safely on one of the private airports near the private ind, he had bought just the other night in a hurry.


    He always liked his privacy and did not like to spend time in public, crowded ces.


    When she as before, refused to get down of the ne. He raised his eyebrows at her.


    "Common!! Let''s go!!"


    She rolled her eyes at him and looked to the other way. He sighed. He did not want to do this because of her but now he would have to do it because of her either way.


    "Fine!! Then you leave me no choice!"


    He muttered and picked her up like a sack of potato over his shoulder. She screamed out in protest.


    The awaiting pilots and air hostesses, including the guards, all heard them, standing outside in a line but pretended to maintain a stoic face.


    Shended fists on his back. Hended a hard p on her butt cheeks making her cry out.


    "Stay still woman!"


    Hemanded as he climbed down the stairs and walked straight towards the ck Range Rover, holding his wife tightly and securely on his shoulder.


    When Tinsley''s eyes felt upon those men and women in uniform, standing on duty, she bowed her head back down in shame and did not dare look up ever again as he got her inside the car.


    The guards loaded their suitcases and bags beforehand and the driver got in to drive them to their destination.


    He held her steady to be sitting on hisp. She tried to get off but he pulled her back, wrapping his arms around her waist.


    "Don''t move if you don''t want me to start our honeymoon right here!"


    He whispered near her ears, making herpletely still on hisp as she felt his hardness poking her core, understanding why he had asked her to stop moving.


    The entire journey of five minutes, Kian took the advantage of smelling her neck, dripping wet slippery kisses all over the exposed skin, his hands calming her full breasts and she kept pushing her hands off but he would not stop anyway.


    When they had reached their ind. Tinsley could not help her eyes when she saw the beautiful scenario.


    There was no house, no living being as the Range Rover drove through the middle of the ind.


    Kian was too duped to recollect that they had reached as the car stopped in front of their medium size vi.


    He was so hooded with lust and the need to have her that he continued with his witty actions on her body.


    "Please!!....we are here!"


    Tinsley had no option but to speak out at that point. The driver had got out, minutes ago and was even unloading the rest of their luggage from their cars.


    "I can''t wait to be inside you!"


    He grunted out, biting her cold earlobe, making Tinsley so wet down there but her pride and anger were restricting her from leaning into the road of pleasure.


    He let her go and they both got out of the Range Rover. She looked around the ce. There was nothing from far far away, except for tress and tress and the sea encircling the entire ind.


    He tipped the guards and driver and some local workers who would be their cook and home service.


    She was about to step inside the vi but he picked her up in bridal style and the workers started pping their hands.


    "Not like that, my love...we go inside together!"


    He let out, pecking her lips and then got inside, holding her intact. He did not let go of her in the living room as he straightaway made their way towards their master bedroom, climbing up the stairs.


    His eyes were all over her face and she tried very hard to look everywhere but into his grey orbs and forget every damn pain, he had caused her of.


    He opened the door and led them to the neatly made white queen-sized bed. He dropped her on it very gently and got on top of her.


    Tinsley held onto the bedsheet as she felt his warm breath hitting her skin. Her pebbled nipples, poking through her dress and legs wide open as he was in between her...made him crazy for her.


    There was a moment of silence...a moment of suspense of what might happen next...mixed emotions clouding their head, wanting to be losing their mind in each others body.


    But only if it were so easy...so easy to get on with life and forget the past. He pounced on her, pushing her body on the mattress.


    Her chest heaved up and down as he began kissing, licking and leaving bite marks all over her exposed skin...making her scream out when he licked her erect nipples through the material of her cloth.


    When she felt his fingers on her core, it was her waking up call and she rose up, pushing him off of her, shocking him and her both.

 Chapter 171 - I NEED TIME AND SPACE!

    Tinsley held onto the bedsheet as she felt his warm breath hitting her skin. Her pebbled nipples, poking through her dress and legs wide open as he was in between her...made him crazy for her.


    Her chest heaved up and down as he began kissing, licking and leaving bite marks all over her exposed skin...making her scream out when he licked her erect nipples through the material of her cloth.


    When she felt his fingers on her core, it was her waking up call and she rose up, pushing him off of her, shocking him and her both.


    "What the hell!!"


    Kian cursed out,ing out of the mood.. He was not expecting her to push him away at all.


    He thought that he had her consent when he was waiting for a moment to move or do something but when she did not, he thought he had her consent.


    "What the hell?? What the hell are you doing??"


    Tinsley stroke back, straightening her dress. He narrowed his eyes at her. She stood up.


    "What do you mean by what the hell I m doing??"


    Kian retorted back and Tinsley did not hold back either. She just could not grasp the fact that after everything that he had done, how could he just make it seem like everything was perfect and normal between.


    "You can''t just pretend nothing happened. I can''t just forget what you did and still let you take me on the bed!!"


    Tinsley spat. She was beyond angry at him. He did not even take her approval about the whole honeymoon thing.


    "What??? I did not...I m not asking or pretending to make you forget, ok?? I just thought of surprising you!"


    Kian whispered thest part, feeling dejected and unappreciated for the efforts he had put in.


    "Surprising me with a fucking honeymoon??? For your own sexual pleasure??"


    Tinsley mocked and it made Kian furious. He was about to break out but stopped himself, somehow.


    He did not want to ruin even the slightest bit of improvement that had happened if it actually happened.


    "Now you are going just too further..."


    Kian replied and Tinsley narrowed her eyes at him. She crossed her arms over her chest, challenging him to exin her.


    "If you mean taking advantage of you is having sex then it is what people do on their honeymoon...that is what any normal married couples do, Tinsley!!"


    "And as if we are normal married couples?? Are we, Kian??"


    Tinsley throttled and he sighed, not knowing what more to say to make her understand and see that he was sorry and he wanted to build their way back in like it was before.


    "I m sorry!!! I know I have hurt you but I m not the perfect man, Tinsley. But I m trying here. You want a husband that can be there for you every time you need but that can never happen with us...not when I m back at my job, doing what I know to do."


    He stated in one breathe and was d that at least, she was not stopping him in between and leaving the room.


    "With our present situation, it would be all the more impossible to be like what we were in that town...I will be away for business trips and you would have to spend the night alone...this is our reality now and it cannot be changed..."


    He concluded. He wanted her to see that he could not be there for her every time but it did not mean that he was not interested in her.


    "It was never about work! You have been working for two months now...you don''t even look at me anymore.. It''s like you are still holding onto my one mistake when you could go around and lie to my face that there had never been another woman who was not a distraction to you than me!!!"


    Tinsley shouted thest part, with extreme fury, jealousy and hatred. She could still see it in her head how his eyes admired that fucking Serena Williams.


    It itched her eyes for having to encounter a moment when her husband was actually admiring a fucking woman that was not her!!


    "I know...I lied about that but it was only because it was so long ago...I never even thought that she would pop up like that from nowhere...the thing is it does not matter to me...it does not matter to me anymore, Tinsley..."


    "I saw you...I saw how you were looking at her...admiring her as if you were in love with her!!"


    Tinsley openly used and it made Kian to strode forward, cupping her face in between his hands.


    She tried to back away from his touch, protested but in the end gave in. He would not let her go.


    He needed her to hear him from closer, not when they had such a big distance between each other...even bigger than the ones he was responsible for creating.


    "Listen to me....please!!"


    He begged, repeatedly when she was not giving in. He had never been so desperate to make someone understand that he needed her in his life.


    That there was no one else in his life anymore except for her. However the hell, they got together or married, if it was solely to protect her, it did not matter anymore...because he had been so immersed into her, life was just impossible without her in it now.


    "There is no one else...only you, my love...only you!!! Please trust me!! Do not give up on us just yet...I m begging you, baby!!! Please..."


    He softly let out each of those words, resting his head on hers. He wanted her to listen to him, grasp his every word in and understand him.


    It made Tinsley only more vtile and emotional. He was her weakness...he was so smooth and he was so always good with words.


    Even when her mind was screaming at her to not buy it, but she just could not. She could not see him on his knees, defeated likest night, she could not see him begging her for another try....she just could not face him on his own because it was too much for her to handle.


    "If you want, I can crawl back on my knees but please, do not hold yourself back....do not because your presence...your entire presence gives me hope, baby...I do not say it often but it does...I m aplicated man...you did not sign up for my bullshit but I just can''t let you go...I just can''t..."


    And Tinsley just remained silent, not knowing or understanding what to say next or what to say not....what to do next or what not to do either.


    "I need space and time!"


    Those were the words that came out of her after a few seconds of silence. And he was grateful for that.


    He was ready to give her all the time she needed to heal back and love him. Even though he was not sure he felt for her, but he was aware that it was as stronger as what she directed it to be love for him.


    Two days had passed by, and they were living in a separate room. He was quite silent and patient in giving her all the time and space she had asked for.


    She tried to avoid him in all the possible ways, she could. Yet it was impossible because he would be the one doing all the cooking and chores and she could not even avoid him at that point.


    It was getting hard to keep herself stake to her demand because every time, he would cook without a damn shirt on, and she could not help but salivate at the sight.


    She was attracted to her husband and she was not ashamed to admit it. It was the truth and the fact that they were on a fucking honeymoon was not helping either.


    For two days, it had been the hardest for him too. He would see her looking so sexy and delicate, soaking the sun on the beach and he could not even dare get close to her and feel her for the sake of her demand.


    He did not want her to see like he was an impatient man, hungry for her body which he was always and he did not see any reason to hold back because he was her husband, yet he was trying to keep hold of words...the words he had given to her.


    Their interactions and conversations were limited and he kept wondering if she was going to make him wait just like he did too.


    He knew that he would have no choice but to stick to his promise but everything was just so difficult when you are on a honeymoon with a very sexy wife...who knew how to seduce you!!

    ________________________________________________


    Madison and John got ready with the paperwork.


    With still a limited workforce and employees, it was a bit difficult for her to manage everything and anything.


    So John was here to help her out. Today, the Business Associatee from Japan wasing to finalize theirpany''s base with Kian''s and open it in all over Japan.


    With Kian gone on honeymoon with his wife after that disaster his ex''s pulled out, Madi could not say much but had to be ready to settle the deal.


    With one final look at the slides, both she and John headed out to the conference hall.


    Mr Saito and his team were already there along with Thea Stilton, her being one of the investors of thepany.


    "Good morning, Mr Saito! So nice to finally meet you!"


    Madison greeted in her professional tone, shaking hands with Mr Saito and John was in awe of her professionalism.


    It was always so hard to work with her. Yet it was just as hard to maintain a distance from her. He could not go a day without being near her presence.


    After that kiss in his house, they never talked about it and as if it kicked in her git, Madison always avoided talking to him by looking at his face.


    She would never match her eyes with him when they would talk about anything else than business.


    Because if she looked at him in his eyes, she knew that nothing was going to end in a good day, everything was only going to go down the drain.


    So as the meeting began, Madison exined everything to Mr Saito and his team from top-down to the bottom.


    Yet there was a problem, Mr Saito hesitated to sign the deal in absence of the owner, who retained maximum stock of thepany.


    Even John tried to talk this old stubborn Asian man out but he would not budge, he needed Kian to be and Kian was miles away on a small ind.


    Out of extreme, pressure, Madison went out of the hall, to at least call Kian and give him to talk with Mr Saito.


    She knew how he was always good with his words and trusted him to work this out, but the problem had to be, the phone kept ringing and riding and no one bothered to pick it up.


    Kian was in between his wife''s sored thighs, ramming his manhood in and out of her core as she moaned out in ecstasy.


    After a full of three days, she had finally let herself lose around him and they were doing what a couple actually does in their honeymoon.


    Kian kissed her neck as he thrust deep inside her and came right away. She squeezed every single drop out of him, draining himpletely.


    "Fuck!! That was great!!"


    Kian muttered,ying t on his back, beside her on the bed. Both were panting for air after nonstop lovemaking.


    The moment, she opened up to him, he would not just stop. He went on and on and she did not seem to mind it for she had craved her husband''s love for so long now.


    "Did I hurt you??"


    It was the question, he would ask her every time after they would be done with another round and she would shake his head in a no.


    There were pains and ache in her body. He could never be too soft, it was how he made love and she hade to terms with it.


    Kian slipped down and lifted her legs up, resting then on his back, bringing his face closer to her wet pussy.


    Tinsley was too tired to stop him but the moment she felt his hot breathe on her core, she tried to shut her thighs off.


    She was embarrassed by him looking at her down there because she forgot to shave.


    After that incident in the town, she had stopped taking care down there. It was not needed either way because Kian would not even look in her direction.


    And this honeymoon thing was so sudden. She did not even think in her wildest dreams that he would bring her to a remote private ind for their honeymoon.


    "Why??"


    Kian asked as he tried to part her thighs again. Her cheeks were red when she confessed why.


    He only smirked and forcefully detangled her thighs despite her protests.


    "Do you think I care?? All I care about is to eat you and then fuck you!!!"


    Kian remarked and shoved his face in between her thighs, working his tongue on her wet slit.


    Madison angrily shoved her phone inside her skirt pocket and stormed back to the conference hall.


    "Mr Saito, unfortunately, owner of not picking up. He umm...He is with his wife. They are gone for their honeymoon and I hope you will understand..."


    Madison honestly replied and thought, at least hoped that this man would just give up and sign the deal out.


    "Then we will sign when your owner is back!"


    Mr Saitomented, standing up. Madison looked at John, and he had already given up, trying to manipte this old stubborn hag.


    Thea was not even trying to y the game of making Mr Saito stay. She just monotonely watched John and Madison grow crazy.


    And out of nowhere, to get the deal on, as it was a really necessary one for their budget, Madison did something she never thought she would.


    "That would not be required because...I m an investor of thirty-five per cent in thispany..."


    Everyone looked at her, shocked. Even John had only thirty per cent and Thea only eighteen per cent, making Madison the highest bidder in the hall.


    "So technically, you would be speaking to the representative owner of thepany''s face, Mr Saito. So think if you walk away without signing the deal, then we have lots of others, waiting in line to join hands with us...so it''s up to you now!?"


    Madisonpleted and she could see...in fact everyone could see the hesitancy in the old man''s face. He was in deep thinking at the moment.


    Thea tried to set it off, saying she never knew about Madison being an investor, she had always been the prime assistant to Kian.


    "It was about time, I upied the rightful ce for me in thispany. The amount of work I have done makes me more valuable to be just a mere assistant here..."


    Madison dered and John signed in saying it was true. Kian had signed thirty-five per cent, the highest of his stock to Madison because he trusted her more than anyone else in the room.


    He lied with Madi, stating they talked about this before him going on the honeymoon.


    With everything well yed, Mr. Saito to finally gave in and the deal was sessfully signed off.


    Everyone congratted Madison for sighing the deal, plus on her new acquisition of thepany''s stock.


    But nobody knew that it was some in lie and how was she going to confess it to Kian about it.


    John calmed her down saying that he would understand and it was really needed or else Mr Saito would not have signed the deal off.


    Back on the ind, when after nth rounds, Kian finally let go of his wife''s body to take a shower.


    She was aching in all the ces. He had done a number on her this time. She was practically limping because of the soreness, she felt in her core.


    The more they continued, the rougher he got. But she was notint one bit.


    In fact, she was loving this. The familiar ache after her husband had made love to her. It was a sign.


    Kian woke up and searched for his phone. He knew it would be full with work calls and when he saw, Madi''s text, his mind was blown out.

 Chapter 173 - SOME FADED MEMORIES...

    PRECAP


    And out of nowhere, to get the deal on, as it was a really necessary one for their budget, Madison did something she never thought she would.


    "That would not be required because...I m an investor of thirty-five per cent in thispany..."


    Everyone looked at her, shocked. Even John had only thirty per cent and Thea only eighteen per cent, making Madison the highest bidder in the hall.

    ________________________________________________


    It was about the time when sun totally got submerged under the ocean waters.


    And the light reflected from the sight to the small table, set outside on the beach with food where Tinsley and Kian were dining.


    It was their second date and Tinsley could not be happier. After they had reconciled and rekindled their love, it had been a st.


    They could not keep their hands off each other''s bodies and it was as if they had gone back to those days in the town and she could not feel any more delighted about it than this.


    The next day, he had asked her to get dressed in her best gown which he had bought for her and that they would have a dinner date outside.


    Tinsley had only seen such stuff in the movies it read it on the romance book so she was very much excited to experience such a thing in real life.


    She closed a turquoise colour, bacsh gown with the deep neck cut. All the gowns he had bought were so beautiful and sexy.


    It was hard to make a choice but atst, she did it. It had been so long since she got to dress like that from among so many dresses.


    After getting ready, when she finally got out, Kian was awestruck. He could not take his eyes off of her.


    He hardly could keep his hands from touching her nude back or the exposed thighs.


    She was such a beautiful vixen, who could seduce him even before trying to do so or even when not trying to.


    They had a nice meal, imported red wine from the finest vineyard. And Tinsley could not stopplimenting about the taste.


    By now, he hade to know that she was a sucker for finest vines. It was a hobby she took from her mother.


    Marshally always loved to taste vines and maybe it was because she was the daughter of a famous vineyard owner.


    And Tinsley had picked that up. They had a great time, talking about their life before they met each other.


    Some of the childhood stories that she had narrated about him and her, made him question internally in his mind if it all ever happened...because he could not remember even a bit of it.


    It was disturbing how smoothly, she was talking about his childhood, that he himself did not remember.


    In his mind, he tried to but he could not. He tried to analyze the faded images, he dreamt of in his mind and rte to with what his wife was narrating but it was hopeless.


    At some point, he wanted her to stop but he could not. He was scared to upset her when they had juste to talking terms again.


    After a long hour of eating, talking and yful teasing, when the sun submerged under the water, they both took a walk, hand on hand, around the edge of the ind.


    It was cold, the smooth freezing wind that blew from the ocean. The water hit their naked feet.


    It was such a refreshing sight and moment. And it was there, Tinsley had realized that there would always be a part of her who would be locked away here at this moment.


    Kian squeezed her palms in his and dragged her into the ocean and they yed sshing water against each other.


    Her giggles echoed along with hisughter as she ran around trying to avoid him and he followed her to get her back in his arms.


    It was as if they had gotten back to the time when they were kids, ying around the field, chasing each other for fun.


    Tinsley ran as fast as she could. Her dress had gone wet and was sticking to her body like a snakeskin.


    Kian ultimately got a hold of her and they fell right onto the water, drowning for a bit before swimming up.


    Regardless of it all, herugher would not stop and it was his first time, seeing her so happy and carefree like a butterfly.


    She keptughing as he held her steady under the water, wrapping his arms around her small waist.


    Her hands were on his shoulder, their eyes were interlocked, they were so close as if breathing the same air.


    It was in that moment, for a brief sh second, in his mind, Kian felt as if he saw something...a fragment of a little girl,ughing her heart out.


    It was ck and white, the face was not clear, but the red hairs...the red long hairs, he could make that hair out.


    And everything froze around him, herugher sounded from afar as his mind got lost inside his own mind.


    He saw...a boy and a girl running around a big mango tree. The sun was shining over the head and then he heard a woman''s voice.


    She was calling out to the kids. The kids ran in the direction of the voice and the boy hugged the woman, wrapping his arms around her waist and the girl stood behind, watching them.


    Everything glittered and then there was this part, their faces were so close to each other.


    His eyes were stuck to hers. It was in that close view, he could see that...see that her eyes were the forest green ones like his wife.


    She licked her lips and his eyes fell upon her wet lips. He cupped her face and when she leaned in, he did not hold back.


    They kissed under the mango tree, as the sun alone bright up in the sky. It was a magical moment and Kian felt like watching a fucking movie.


    It was so intense that he could feel the kiss...as if someone was kissing him and then everything flipped around.


    He saw the boy being pulled away by an aggressive man, holding on to his cor and shoving the boy forcefully in a car.


    He heard the voices, screams of the same woman as if she was running behind them, trying to stop it all.


    "Kian??? Hey???!!! Kian??"


    Tinsley snapped her fingers before her husband''s face who seemed lost for almost like a minute or so.


    Kian jerked off and looked around as he saw the vastnd covered in the water of the ocean. The sounds of waves hitting the shore.


    "Are you alright??"


    Tinsley asked, being concerned. He nodded in positive and did not want to discuss any bit of it what he saw in his mind.


    It was as if a good dream turned bad. The ending was horrible. The screams and cries of the woman still resonated in his mind.


    "Please!!! Give him back...give back my son!!"


    And to stop that painful sound in his mind, Kian mmed his lips against his wife''s before she could enquire more.


    The kiss was rough and deepening. In the water, Tinsley moved her body closer to his as it got colder than before.


    He left her mouth and started dropping kisses everywhere on her exposed skin and neck.


    He tore her dress in the front making her scream in protest, out of shock but he did not care.


    All he cared at that moment was to forget whatever the tell he had seen in his mind. It was so horrific and disturbing and having his wife was the best possible distraction he could ever have.


    He palmed her breasts and leaned down to take her nipples in his mouth. His teeth scraped her skin and she pulled his hairs, feeling the sensitive nerves working up.


    She jumped up, wrapping her thighs around his waist and she felt his manhood right against her core.


    He walked them back to the shore and made her body rest on the sand as he got on top of her.


    He was quick in unzipping his pants and pped her thighs opened. The fact that she was not wearing an underwear made him more crazier than ever.


    Like a caveman, he mmed himself inside her core and Tinsley felt herself being stretched to her limit.


    He did not give her any time to adjust as he kept jamming himself in and out if her nonstop until that cold evening, they both rode to their high together.

    PRECAP


    And everything froze around him, herugher sounded from afar as his mind got lost inside his own mind.


    He saw...a boy and a girl running around a big mango tree. The sun was shining over the head and then he heard a woman''s voice.

    He heard the voices, screams of the same woman as if she was running behind them, trying to stop it all.


    ________________________________________________


    The honeymoon was a bless and it helped them to find their way back to each other.


    Tinsley looked back at the ind as she stepped up on the ne with her husband.


    They could not escape reality forever and had to go back to their regr life.


    Kian held her hand in his as the ne flew up from thend. She took a deep breath and they were headed back to Richmond.


    After being done with their lunch on the ne, Kian told her the news that what Madison had done to seal their production house in Japan.


    "What??"


    The meatball dropped from her mouth and Kian could not help theughter right at that moment. Tinsley''s cheeks got tainted with redness out of embarrassment.


    "Here, lean closer, love!"


    Kian called out and rubbed her lips with his bare fingers. Every time, he addresses her with love, she could not the feeling of giddiness in the pit of her stomach.


    "So what are you going to do now??"


    "I think about time, I give Madison the position she always deserved. I m signing away officially thirty-five per cent of my stock to her in exchange for her loyalty."


    Kian dered and Tinsley could not get in the fact that he could even make a deal without thinking of the profit and here he was giving it away for loyalty and a deep bond he and Madi shared.


    She was happy for Madison and she also knew that Madi would never ever try to betray Kian at any cost.


    "So what do you think?"


    Kian asked, anticipating what kind of reactions his wife would give to him.


    Tinsley stood up from her seat and walked towards his side. She sat up on the table right before him, setting his dish aside and leaning down to kiss him.


    Resting her hands on both his shoulder, he came towards her and she engulfed his lips in her mouth.


    He squeezed her thighs as she deepened the kiss. Her skirt had ridden up from sitting up.


    "I m happy for you and Madison!"


    Tinsley remarked after pulling away from the kiss. His eyes were hooded and clouded already.


    Yet he was satiate to find that she liked the news. He wanted her to feel involved in his life as much as he could.


    "I knew you would be happy so I had signed it away to her as present the other day itself!"


    He smirked, letting the information. And somewhere in the midst, Tinsley felt that uneasiness that he acted before consulting her.


    His hands craped up her thighs and crawling towards her unclothed pussy. She had not bothered to wear underwear after the third day of their honeymoon because he would tear all of them away and how much expensive each one of them was.


    "Maybe it''s time for my dessert now!"


    He asserted, chuckling, rubbing her bare clit with his fingers, distracting her mind as she focused on her attention back to the hungry man, who could never get enough of her.


    She willingly spread her thighs apart and he cursed under his breath, eyeing her uncovered and all nude for him.


    No more would his stare made her feel insecure about her body or be concerned about petty things like being clean there or not, bald or just natural because either way, he would love her just the way she was.


    And it had made her more confident about herself and her body. She licked her lips watching him lick his.


    "Get to work lover boy!"


    She rested her feet on his shoulder des, lightly tapping on him. He held onto her calf and leaned near her, her musky smell enveloping his all senses.


    "dly, ma''am!"


    He whispered, vanishing in between her thighs and after two or three strikes of his wet tongue working on her slits, she could no longer sit up straight and fell back on the table on her back, right on the dishes, knocking the sses off.


    Kian looked up, hearing the noise. She let out a mewl of pain and giggled at her own silliness.


    "You alright??"


    He implored and she nodded her head,ughing away, looking down at him. The air hostess too came running in to make sure everything was alright and when she saw Kian in between his wife''s legs, she hurried away from the sight.


    Kian could not help the smirk and Tinsley raised her eyebrows at him. He knew that after this his wife would be so ashamed of herself and he liked to tease her.


    "The air hostess saw us just now!"


    "What?? Kian!!!....oh my God!!"


    Tinsley could not pry her husband''s face from her core because he already had invaded her,pping on her core and she could not help the moan that escaped out from her lips.


    The air hostess and staff tried to unheard the scream of ecstasy as the ne continued to fly in the sky.


    ________________________________________________


    Back at home, Madison was raised to her new position and she could not grasp the fact that Kian had signed away the stock to him for just a dor notary paper.


    Lana and John, both were happy for her. It was a new phase in her life, making an entry as an investor this time in the business world.


    Lana left for a call, leaving Madi and John in the same room. And they both awkwardly stared at each other, not having anything to say.


    Madi gulped down the champagne in one go. The sexual tension...it had not evaded away yet.


    And she had no idea why. It was only for this reason, she had been tiring Lana on bed too often these days and no wonder why Lana keptining how much horny she had gotten.


    She could not let out the real reason out to anyone because nobody would understand her anyway.


    John too finished his whisky and tried to pour himself more from the same bottle when Madi and his hand made a simple contact and they both felt the shiver...the shock down their spine.


    Their eyes interlocked and hands kept touching as they let the moment to sink in. Time froze and before one could say or stop, or even walk away, it was John, this time, who had made the move.


    He pulled her towards him, holding onto her wrist, colliding her plum chest onto his hard ones and smashing his lips against her.


    He just could not take and go on with her giving him those eye contacts, the right and wrong signals, which both always felt right to him.


    Madison was taken aback by the suddenness of this move that she remained static for two or three seconds of the kiss.


    And when John rubbed his lips onto hers, she could not keep her resistance intact much longer and gave in.


    She held onto his waist for she was much shorter than him. He pulled her hair like leverage and deepened the kiss.


    She kept stepping backwards and he kept following her way. She lost her bnce and fell t on the sofa, pulling John on top of her.


    She felt his hard body on top of her, in between her legs. Her core could feel his hardened length right over herself.


    It made her lost more of her control as he dropped down to litter kisses all over her neck and the exposed skin.


    Madison was a moaning mess by the time, he had unbuttoned her top, calming her breasts over her bra, kissing her skin at the same time.


    Lana was done with her call and came back to the living room and saw that there was no one in the hall.


    She left right away as Madison and John grinded against each other. Not being able to take the heat more, she dropped her hands down and unbuckled his belt.


    His face was red and he groaned out when she finally held his manhood in her hand and started rubbing him off.

    "I m happy for you and Madison!"


    Tinsley remarked after pulling away from the kiss. His eyes were hooded and clouded already.

    Madison was taken aback by the suddenness of this move that she remained static for two or three seconds of the kiss.


    ________________________________________________


    It had been two weeks since their honeymoon and here she was painting their memory on the whiteboard, sitting outside in the garden.


    Kian had to go back to a business trip to Asia right after they had got home and it turned her mood sour tight away.


    But work was work and this was the part of the life...the reality she hated or was hesitant to face it.


    She rubbed her t belly, smiling to herself. She had taken a test a few days ago and it had popped positive.


    It was an unnned one yet she loved the feel of a sweet creation they had both made together with so much love and passion for each other.


    And it was growing inside of her. She could not wait to tell him the news. How he much wanted her to see pregnant with their child.


    She knew that he would be ecstatic just the way she was. All her fear and inhibitions had bid her farewell, the anxiety that she had from the first miscarriage...there was a time, she thought it would not go away.


    But it had...because she was sitting here, caressing her belly and loving the feel of every bit of it.


    Finally, everything was falling back to its ce and she could not wait to start a family with her lover...her husband.


    After everything, they had been through together and they were still together. Andstly, it was what mattered.


    She stepped inside her drawing-room, walking back to their manner. There were many iplete paintings and the one that caught her attention was the one resting to the left corner.


    She grabbed it up and it was a man, a child between, with the woman, watching at the sunset together.


    This frame wasing to be real in a few months and she could not wait to be there...in that future.


    Her phone ringed and she dropped the painting and picked her phone up. It was her husband.


    He always made sure to face time once in a day. She quickly swiped her screen up.


    "Hey!!!"


    "Hiii!!"


    She waved her free hand at him and he smiled at her. He was walking back to his hotel room, it seemed, he was in the lobby at the moment.


    "How is my beautiful sexy wife?"


    She could not help the blush that crept up on her face and Kian wanted her right at that very moment.


    Kian was helpless when it came to his work and he had to leave his wife alone at home right after their honeymoon.


    It would have been fun to take her with him but he hardly spent any day free. It would only bore her more, staying lonely while he worked out.


    Madison had dropped out of the trip saying she had an emergency, an unknown one she had told him and he did not bother much either.


    John was here with him but he too seemed distracted and he could tell that there might have been something that had happened between him and Madi.


    Because in the airport, she practically rushed out of there the moment, John had made an entry.


    "You are done with work??"


    She asked, concerned that he was working too much. He was a workaholic who would not go without a minute, not working if not for her.


    "Hmm...I m on my way to my suite and I need you!"


    He nodded and all of a sudden, she felt that hotness creeping up all over her stature and she sat down on the nearby stool.


    He got inside his room and threw the phone away on the bed. She eyed him with longing, the anticipation of what he was going to do.


    He opened his MacBook and was before her without his coat and shirt half unbuttoned.


    "Show me your tits!"


    The way he demanded her, made her chest heaved up and down. She licked her lips, not knowing what to do and what to not.


    "Common baby! Let me have a look at you!"


    "I need you so bad...fuck I miss your body!"


    He grunted out and she could tell that he was rubbing himself below. She kept the phone on standby and pulled onto theces of her dress.


    He could view her cleavage. Her pink bra blocking his eyes from watching her soft, delicate breasts. If he would have been there, he would have torn that bra off of her in a snap.


    "Touch yourself baby!"


    Tinsley was clueless and unhooked her bra, dropping it on the floor. The way his eyes turned into a shade of darker grey made her wet down there.


    She palmed her own boobs and she heard him curse he breathe out. His nextmand was for her to get rid of her underwear which she had obliged of right away.


    "Finger yourself...imagine it''s me right there, touching you...loving you...fucking you!"


    She followed his instruction and inserted two fingers right inside of her core and her parted lips, closed eyes told him that she was close.


    "Fuck yourself as I would do, baby! Harder, faster..."


    It was so hot and erotic for him to watch her being lost just by his voice and she started rubbing herself faster.


    "Fuck!!! I ming!!"


    She screamed out and he let himself lose too, making a mess all over his pants which he did not care one bit.


    Tinsley opened up her eyes, and the way he was smirking at her, made her to hide her face with her hands.


    "I have got a very horny wife, huh?!"


    He chuckled and she avoided, making eye contact with him at the moment on the screen.


    "Do you miss me so much?? "


    It was a big yes in capital letters from her side but she did not respond, not wanting to boost his ego up.


    He was an egotistical jerk yet she loved how much confidence he was about himself...something shecked so much.


    She hoped that their child would take after him. Oh!!! How much she wanted to tell him about this happy news.


    But she was going to wait till after he gets home and then she had nned a surprise date for them where she would reveal everything.


    "If you do not answer, I will dy my return, wife! So tell me!"


    He remarked and it got Tinsley got right away. She wanted him at home so bad, beside her.


    "I miss you so much!!! Please, don''t do that!!"


    She spoke out right away and he could see the sadness in her bright eyes, the moment he had said he would dy his return.


    "Fuck! Do not shed tears...I was just ying with you, baby!"


    He replied and it made her angry at him within a second when he startedughing at her.


    "Now don''t be angry at me,mon, it was fun to see how you are so desperate to have me inside you!"


    Kian joked...and Tinsley rolled her eyes at him. Not saying anything anymore. She had been extremely hormonal and sensitive these daystely.


    "Kiss me,mon. Don''t sit there, sulking!"


    Kian demanded. He always loved how she would get riled up in just a few teases from his side.


    He could not wait to get his hands on her and show her who exactly was in control of her.


    "Since you are being a brat, you will not pleasure yourself until I return!"


    And that made Tinsley narrow her eyes at him, closing her hands over her chest and he could not help but eye her makes breasts.


    "Eyes up here, mister....and I could do whatever the hell I like!"


    She challenged him and he smirked, thinking in his head how much fun he would have punished her bratty self back to the good submissive wife...he always liked.


    Before he could say anything anymore, his phone started to ring and all his facial face changed. Tinsley saw it and asked him but he shut hisptop right away.


    "What happened..."


    The screen tinted ck!

 Chapter 176 - A LATE NIGHT CALL FOR HELP!

    PRECAP


    Kian had to go back to a business trip to Asia right after they had got home and it turned her mood sour tight away.


    But work was work and this was the part of the life...the reality she hated or was hesitant to face it.


    She rubbed her t belly, smiling to herself. She had taken a test a few days ago and it had popped positive.


    It was an unnned one yet she loved the feel of a sweet creation they had both made together with so much love and passion for each other.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley could not sleep straight nor eat after the face time with Kian.


    He had not bothered to call her or text after and it had been five hours since.


    She rolled around on the king-sized bed, wondering what might have had happened for him to hang up the call just like that?


    ________________________________________________


    In the meantime, Kian packed his bags and got out of the suite. His guards waited outside and picked the bags off from him and kept them in the trunk of the Mercedes.


    Soon he reached the private airport, where his jet was waiting and the pilot was all ready and set to fly off.


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley continuously kept checking her phone and thought about so many different possibilities in her mind.


    What could have had gone the wrong for him to suddenly to just hang up on her??


    And in a few minutester, her phone vibrated, dropping a notification that he was home.


    Their both phones were connected to each other, letting each other know where they were.


    It was his gift to her on their honeymoon to keep her safer and protected due to the sudden rise in his fame now.


    She got out of the bed and wore her night coat over her nighty, walking out of the bedroom and making her way down the stairs to the living room.


    And as the clock stroke ten in the night, the doorbell rang on. It made Tinsley to be in alert mode.


    The live-in maid came to the living room and looked at Tinsley, asking for her permission if she should answer the door or not.


    The person was let into the mansion front good by the guards in the front gate, meaning the person was harmless and so Tinsley signalled the maid to open the door.


    Internally, she hoped it to be Kian even though it was impossible because the notification showed he had justnded a few minutes ago in the Richmond airport.


    The maid opened the door and it revealed the one woman, Tinsley thought never having to see.


    Serena Williams thanked the maid and got inside and her eyes locked with Tinsley who could not believe that out of all the people that could have hade to knock on her door at ten in the night....it had to be the woman from his past...


    She could only wonder, what did she want now?? Why was she back again??


    And there was a need she felt like throwing this woman out of her house right away because Kian would be here any minute if he sped home.


    "Tinsley!"


    Serena called out and Tinsley did not answer back immediately. Serena got closer to her where she was standing.


    "I need your help! "


    Tinsley wondered what kind of help it could be. But she was more interested in getting rid of her quickly than trying to hear her out.


    She just did not like the idea of her husbanding to the home and facing his ex...the only woman he ever felt something for.


    No matter how much he would assure, there would be a part in her that would be insecure about him and Serena in the same room.


    "I do not think it is an appropriate time right now..."


    Tinsley started and Serena knew that where this was going to go. She stopped Tinsley in between.


    "Listen to me first...please! I have no one..."


    "I m really sorry, Serena but I can''t be of any help to you right at the moment...why don''t we meet up at a restaurant tomorrow morning??"


    Tinsley offered and Serena shook her head in the negative, not wanting that to happen. She needed the help right now.


    "No...I need it now...please, can you at least listen to me??"


    Serena requested with her defeated eyes. She was aware that Tinsley had no liking for her but in times like these...you could not care about such things.


    "I can''t...I m sorry! Alice will show you the way out..."


    Tinsley crossed her hand against her chest and signalled Alice to let the woman out of the house.


    Serena tried to evade away from the maid''s hold. And right at that moment, Kian made entry.


    "What the hell is going on here??"


    He questioned on seeing his housemaid trying to pull Serena out of the house and Tinsley watching the scene unfolding silently from afar.


    "Oh thanks, God! Kian you are here!!"


    Serena thrashed out of the maid''s hold and stepped towards him. Tinsley was taken aback by seeing her husband had arrived.


    "What the hell was that??"


    He directed his wrath to his wife, who did not know how to exin the situation to him.


    "I did not know you were not home yet. So Tinsley answered the door and she was not ready to listen to me..."


    "She needs help and we can''t help her at this moment..."


    Tinsley stepped in. She knew that she sounded a very cruel, unhelpful selfish woman but she just did not want Serena and Kian to be in the same room.


    "And who are you to decide that??"


    Kian raised his eyebrows at her. And Tinsley could see that he was angry at her.


    "Kian, we need to be quick...she...my girl is not well!!"


    Serena diverted Kian from Tinsley and not giving a second nce at his wife, he held Serena''s hand and they both stepped out of the mansion, not before Kian mocked Tinsley.


    "For once, stop being selfish!"


    And even before, Tinsley could react, he was out of the mansion with Serena. He did not take the guards with him and drove himself out of the front gate, with Serena in the passenger seat.


    Tinsley watched them leaving together and she did not how to feel or how to react to that.


    All she kept hearing in her head was that Serena had already called Kian beforeing here.


    Kian hade early from his business trip because of Serena and not her. It hurt her to the point of feeling a deep ache in her heart.


    Andstly, the fact that she heard, Serena, talking about a girl...her girl, as in her daughter.


    Her daughter was sick and she had called Kian, asking for help. It did not need an expert to figure out the whole scenario.


    But one thing was sickening about everything and the thought that the child could be...could be Kian''s and Serena''s...


    And the very thought made Tinsley want to kill herself or him...she had no idea, what she felt at that point.


    But there was a possibility that...it could be her husband''s otherwise, it did not make sense why Kian woulde rushing by just a single text of help for his ex''s child...if not he shared it with her??


    He could have had sent help or asked her to look after it.Yet he did no such thing and instead came running back to her...Serena.


    The entire night, Tinsley remained awake, tossing and turning on the bed, walking around the room.


    Her mind would not just rest, neither would her heart stop crying and worrying.


    The slightest possibility that a child...could change their lives forever. And now that her child had entered the drama too, she did not know what ce she held in her husband''s life, touching her t abdomen.


    She kept dropping him texts and he responded to none of them. And all of a sudden, she felt heavy cramps on her lower abdomen.


    She moaned out in pain and sat down on the bed, trying to calm herself down. The usual fear of losing her child crawled back into her.


    She looked up at the clock and it stroke midnight. The shes of her waking up to the bed, surrounded by her own blood and the clots gushing out of her core, flooded her mind.


    She felt extreme pain on her sides and she knew it...knew that something was wrong inside of her.


    She picked up her phone and called Kian immediately but it went to a voice call.


    She repeatedly dialled his number to the point of getting blocked by her own husband and it was her breaking point.


    The phone fell out of her hand, and to get it up, she strolled downwards, falling t on her butt and cursing out to her life when she saw blood flowing out of her.

 Chapter 177 - A CHILD THAT LIVED...ONE THAT DIED!

    PRECAP


    "No...I need it now...please, can you at least listen to me??"


    Serena requested with her defeated eyes.


    "I can''t...I m sorry! Alice will show you the way out..."


    Tinsley crossed her hand against her chest and signalled Alice to let the woman out of the house.


    Serena tried to evade away from the maid''s hold. And right at that moment, Kian made entry.


    "What the hell is going on here??"


    "Oh thanks, God! Kian you are here!!"


    Serena thrashed out of the maid''s hold and stepped towards him. Tinsley was taken aback by seeing her husband had arrived.


    "What the hell was that??"


    He directed his wrath to his wife, who did not know how to exin the situation to him.


    ________________________________________________


    She picked up her phone and called Kian immediately but it went to a voice call.


    She repeatedly dialled his number to the point of getting blocked by her own husband and it was her breaking point.


    The phone fell out of her hand, and to get it up, she strolled downwards, falling t on her butt and cursing out to her life when she saw blood flowing out of her.


    ________________________________________________


    When Tinsley came out of the hospital, she felt nothing anymore.


    There was a void within her and it was growing too fast. She walked up to the parking sight and got inside her Audi.


    She stared into the outside and then when the pitter-patter rain started to fall in the very morning, she started the engine and drove back to that forlorn mansion...that was her home now.


    ________________________________________________


    "Her vitals are improving. She is fine, now, Miss Williams!"


    The doctor dered and Serena was delighted to hear the news. Kian was grateful too.


    The girl was only three years old and looked so fragile and delicate. He had no idea that Serena had a daughter when he saw her at his party after such a long time.


    So when she dropped a text that there was an emergency in his phone. He could not wonder that it was going to be about her daughter.


    Once the doctor dered that everything was alright, they both finally went to the restroom area.


    The girl had a problem of dropping her body temperature and the doctor had to struggle to get her back on the normal body temperature all night long.


    "You are hungry?"


    Kian asked as they had both not eaten anything ever since they got into the hospital.


    "No, I m fine...a coffee would be fine though!"


    Serena said, getting cosy on herfy VIP area sofa. Kian had reserved it for both of themst night.


    He pulled out his cell phone and saw texts and miss calls from Tinsley. He just rolled his eyes, knowing that she was only being jealous about the whole ordeal.


    He noticed that his phone had blocked her and so he unblocked her back again. It was his phone''s program that blocked a contact if it was ringing and texting too often.


    "Is it Tinsley??"


    Serena asked when she saw him staring at his phone''s screen. He just shrugged it off and kept the phone back inside his pants pocket.


    "I think you should call her, Kian. She must be worried..."


    "She is just being a brat, nothing more!"


    Kian interrupted Serena and went out to bring coffee for both of them. There was a doubt in his mind of the little girl...Serena''s daughter was his but after knowing her age...it was clear that it was not his.


    And probably that was why he rushed out to help Serena like that. They both had shared a past that was deeper and darker than anyone else knew about them.


    After handing the coffee to Serena, he drove back home and he knew that Tinsley was going to give him a cold shoulder...but he did not really care about it at this point.


    He did not know if he should feel delighted or sad that the child was not his??


    When he got inside the living room, he noticed the void and looked around for his wife but she was nowhere to be found.


    At this point he was actually annoyed because he needed her to act as an understanding adult instead of being a jealous brat.


    He checked his phone and there had been no call or text from her since the past midnight. And she was not in the home. He had no idea where did she go.


    He felt like he married a drama Queen at this point!


    ________________________________________________


    Nathan gave sparkling water to Tinsley and she took the ss from him, drinking the water speedily.


    She had hit on a nearby post out of absent-mindedness and luckily did not end up hurting any passerby.


    Nathan came to her rescue because the entire thing happened just at the front road of Anderson Corp. Tower.


    She was grateful for that to see a knowing face when everyone was giving her weird looks.


    He had handled the police and traffic department and bought her to his office to calm her down.


    "Everything is fine! "


    He uttered out for her, observing how fearful and shook she was by the incident.


    "I have handled the police and they are not going to press any charges ok! So please calm down now."


    Nathan took the ss off from her hold and she nodded at him. Her mind was too disturbed to even grasp the depends on the situation.


    "Are you alright now?"


    Nathan asked her and she was taken aback by the question. Was she ever going to be alright??


    After what had happened in these few hours, period??


    Losing her second child, to losing her husband to his ex and the fact that they could be sharing a child together and to almost causing an ident and killing innocent passerby''s.


    She was not ok. She was not going to be alright now...she needed time and all she wanted to do was at that moment, was to curl up in her husband''s arm...the only safe space for her.


    So she stood up and thanked Nathan for everything he did. Although she said she was fine to drive herself back home but he insisted that his driver would drop her and she obliged out of fear.


    Meanwhile, Kian poured another ss of whisky for himself. After the knowledge of his wife''s location being near the area of Anderson Corp. Tower.


    Nothing had to be said much to with whom she was at the moment. To say, he was disgusted by her tactics of getting back at him.


    So when he saw the ck Mercedes with Anderson mark imprinted on its good, parking before the front gate and Tinsley getting out of it, he was beyond angry.


    Tinsley thanked the driver and walked towards the mansion. She saw Kian''s Range Rover parked and she knew that he was home


    At least that was a relief. She thought to herself and made her entry inside the mansion and seeing that the living room was empty, the maid, Alice directed her towards the study room of Kian.


    Tinsley thanked Alice and made her way inside his study after giving a slight knock on the door.


    He was standing, looking out through the window, his back facing her front. She ran up to him and hugged him from behind.


    Tears rolled out of her eyes as she rested her face on his back, thinking how to disclose to him the news of their loss.


    Kian curses under his breath, feeling her feminine body pasted to his. At that moment, he did not want her anywhere near to him after finding out where she hade back from.


    He peeled her hands off from his chest and walked away from the window and took a sit on his leather armchair.


    Tinsley was a bit taken aback by his reaction. She stood there ideal, watching him sitting on the chair, ring at her.


    He did not say a word to her and neither did she know how to start...from where and how to end?


    "So is Serena''s daughter fine?"


    It was not what she wanted to start with but she could not bring it in herself to start with their loss.


    He did not respond to her for a while and finished his drink before getting up from his chair and pouring another ss for himself.


    Watching his actions, she felt as if he hade to know what had happened. Could he be mad at her that she did not inform him about her pregnancy from the beginning?


    Her heart was thumping against her chest as she thought of so many things in just a second but feared to let out anyone of them.


    "Why do you care if that little girl is alive or dead??"


    He questioned her back, mockingly eyeing her frame. She was too weak consciously to handle his outburst at that moment.

 Chapter 178 - AN ANSWER TO WHY DID SHE LEAVE?

    Her heart was thumping against her chest as she thought of so many things in just a second but feared to let out anyone of them.


    "Why do you care if that little girl is alive or dead??"


    He questioned her back, mockingly eyeing her frame. She was too weak consciously to handle his outburst at that moment.


    "You were denying tond any help to Serenast night?"


    And Tinsley closed her eyes, knowing how cruel and mean that was of her to react in such a way but she was caught by the webs of jealousy and possessiveness.


    "Be happy to know that she is not mine...I knew you were anticipating about that internally, you could never be happy for me..."


    Kian spat at her and resorted to drinking again. Tinsley could not perceive his words right away.


    The fact that the child of Serena was not his, of course, it did make her feel happy and rxed. She did not know that why would her husband want to associate himself with the child of some other woman!?


    But it did not matter now...nothing mattered right at that moment because she was just too tired and fed up with all the pain she was bearing all by herself.


    She needed someone...her husband to be there for her now. She was exhausted and out of nowhere, she broke down, even shocking Kian, himself.


    "Please!!! I beg you to stop!!"


    Kian was taken aback by her sudden breakdown as she started to sob and wail out those words.


    "I can''t...I really can''t!!!"


    Tinsley held onto her chest as if her heart was paining and let the tears flow freely out of her eyes without care.


    "What is it?"


    Kian implored, knowing something was wrong. He needed to know what was wrong without her creating such a nuisance.


    But Tinsley could not hold back her sobs. She huped as she struggled to let the words out.


    She did not how to tell him once again of what had happened. The same episode kept repeating when she felt that things were finally falling back to their ces.


    "I...I was preg..."


    "You were what??"


    Kian interrupted her midway. He strode towards her and held onto her arms, straightening her up.


    "You were what?? Fucking tell me, goddammit!!"


    Kian shook her body and she muffled her sobs with her hands trying to speak it out to him. That was not how she had pictured to tell him.


    "I...I was pregnant!"


    And Kian just left her there and looked away from her. He did not know how to react to that.


    She was pregnant...??? How could that be possible just out of blue?? He could not perceive it...he could not get it in him...


    "How long?? How fucking long??"


    He yelled when she was only crying her eyes out despite of him asking her. She hugged herself, out of fear from his outburst.


    "Three to two weeks...I..."


    "Last night...I had a cramp...bad ones...I...called you.."


    Kian punched his fist on the table, shaking the items resting on it and making Tinsley stop speaking right away.


    "So this is it huh?? You are going to stoop this low now??"


    He spat at her. He was not ready to believe her. He would never believe that she had another miscarriage because he chose to help out Serena''s child instead of staying back with her.


    "So you are now going to me this on me??"


    Kian cruellyughed and that was not what Tinsley wanted at all. She was nowhere ming him.


    It was all of a sudden. She was just narrating to him how it had happened...nowhere did she aim to me it all on him.


    "Because I chose to go with Serena over you, you are inventing ways to hurt me now??"


    Kian kept using her and she did not know how to stop him and make him understand that no one was ying the me game.


    "You know what?? I m not even going to believe whatever the hell that ising out of this month..."


    He let out and was about to go away but she ran up to him and held him back, hugging his back, not wanting to let go of him.


    She could tell...she could feel that he was trying to evade the feeling of hurt...the pain, the deep ache by disbelieving whatever the hell he could get out of him.


    "You need to believe, my love..."


    "Just let go of me!!"


    He tried to pry her hands off of his body but she only tightened her hold around him.


    "You need to let it sink in you..."


    Kian pushed her away with a force that she stumbled backwards and somehow maintained her posture, holding onto the edge of the table.


    "You are fucking going to pay for ying this dirty game with me!!"


    Kian was beyond furious at that point. He already had a bad time of having the feeling that the daughter of Serena could be his...and he would not lie that for a while, he liked that thought.


    Yet here his wife was here, narrating to him how she had a miscarry the same night he went out to help save someone else''s child and they lost their once again.


    He was not going to take it...take any of it. He knew that she was just bullshitting at this point out of jealousy.


    "You are one selfish, obsessive woman and I m not going to tolerate this...this whatever game you are trying to y of making me feel guilty...a mistake that you want me to feel that I made by going with Serena which could have been stopped if I had stayed back....?"


    Kian went on, not giving one chance to let her speak in between. He was not going to fall down to her game.


    "You disgust me, right now!"


    It was all he said and then left out of his study. Tinsley was a crying mess as she screamed his name out, asking him toe back to her.


    She rubbed away her tears and ran after him. The maid, Alive saw the entire scene unfolding before her eyes.


    Kian got inside the Audi and left. Tinsley took another Audi and followed him. She was not going to let him go all alone this time.


    The rain kept showering as he sped away and she struggled to keep up with him.


    When he took a turn to the street where Valeria Wilson lived. It made her cautious of why her husband who had cut ties with his aunt was doing, driving to her residency.


    She stopped by the alley when Kian''s Audi was let in through the front gate. When his Audi was in, she also grew courage up in her and drove in front of the ce where she was held captive.


    For a while, she thought that the guards might not let her in but when they allowed her by seeing her face, she was grateful.


    She parked the car in the front yard, a few steps behind his and got inside the mansion.


    "Why the hell would you call me again and go to my office, asking for me repeatedly??"


    Kian questioned Valeria, who was very peacefully reading the newspaper over a cup of her second tea on a rainy morning.


    She folded the newspaper back on the table and looked up to see her nephew. The one only nephew, she had never thought would ever set foot on her house again.


    "You came??"


    "You left me with no choice!"


    Valeria stood up and pped her hands asking the maids to leave them alone. The housekeeper left the hall and Tinsley who was hiding behind the door, got to the other side as the maid left.


    "I heard Serena''s daughter was unwell!"


    "She was but she is fine now!"


    Kian replied in monotone. He did not want to talk about that anymore. Yet everyone kept only asking that.


    "She has grey eyes like yours!"


    "She is not mine...Valeria!"


    Kian remarked and Valeria nodded, acknowledging the fact. Tinsley enclosed her mouth with her palms, not wanting to let out any sound.


    "She loves you...Serena! She is not over you, Kian!"


    "Yet why does it even matter?? Why do you keep bringing this up?"


    Kian implored. He was tired of how she kept pushing him towards Serena now when there was a time, she did not approve of Serena too at that time.


    "It matters because I want you to let you know the truth...that she had never left...I did it. "


    Valeria let out, shocking Kian. He was not expecting to hear anything close to that whatever she was going to say next.


    "I paid her money to leave you because...she was getting in your way of career. After you both lost the child...I knew that she was not good for you...she would only pull you back to the darkness from where I lifted you up...I paid her a million to leave you!"

 Chapter 179 - SHE DID IT BUT SHELL NEVER ADMIT IT!

    PRECAP


    You were what??"


    Kian interrupted her midway. He strode towards her and held onto her arms, straightening her up.


    "You were what?? Fucking tell me, goddammit!!"


    Kian shook her body and she muffled her sobs with her hands trying to speak it out to him. That was not how she had pictured to tell him.


    "I...I was pregnant!"


    And Kian just left her there and looked away from her. He did not know how to react to that.


    She was pregnant...??? How could that be possible just out of blue?? He could not perceive it...he could not get it in him...


    "How long?? How fucking long??"


    ________________________________________________


    You are one selfish, obsessive woman and I m not going to tolerate this...this whatever game you are trying to y of making me feel guilty...a mistake that you want me to feel that I made by going with Serena which could have been stopped if I had stayed back....?"


    Kian went on, not giving one chance to let her speak in between. He was not going to fall down to her game.


    "You disgust me, right now!"


    ________________________________________________


    "It matters because I want you to let you know the truth...that she had never left...I did it. "


    Valeria let out, shocking Kian. He was not expecting to hear anything close to that whatever she was going to say next.


    "I paid her money to leave you because...she was getting in your way of career. After you both lost the child...I knew that she was not good for you...she would only pull you back to the darkness from where I lifted you up...I paid her a million to leave you!"


    Valeria breathed out, afterpletely letting out the whole truth. And Kian just stood static in his position.


    So did Tinsley who could only get the part more where a child...that was lost was also involved.


    It made sense now why would he have reacted the way he did when he heard about Serena''s daughter and hoped...that it was theirs?


    "I know what I did was unforgivable...I should not have interfered...I m sorry, nephew but in this olden time...I understand how much wrong I was..."


    Valeria strolled forward and tried to soothe Kian by softly gazing onto his shoulders but Kian flickered away from her touch.


    "For years...I thought...I wondered why would she leave me like that all of a sudden?? Right after we had lost our child..."


    Kian spoke to himself, realizing that the answer to the question that he had been searching for years...stopped recently was finally out for him.


    Amidst all that, all Tinsley could hear was how he addressed the lost child as ''our'' and it pierced right through her heart.


    She could not stay there anymore and just slid out of the living room and ran towards her Audi.


    She had heard enough, got hurt enough...seeing her lover mourning about his child lose with another woman...that was not her...


    And here they had lost their second ones yet he was not ready to acknowledge it.


    The rain wet her entire self as she got inside her Audi and drove away from there, wanting to be anywhere but here.


    Valeria noticed that slight opening of the door and she knew who it was. She focused her attention back on Kian.


    "I just want everything to fall back to its ce now...now that you know that it was not Serena who left you, it was I who made her do it...she had no fault, Kian!"


    Valeria was ready to take all the me so that Kian would leave Tinsley. She could nevere to terms with that marriage.


    She never liked Serena...a low life woman, from a middle-ss background. But yet, she was willing topromise because she was the kind who would dance as per her say and not Tinsley.


    Coming to thinking about everything, Kian realized something deep. He saw that how everyone left even when he did nothing wrong...he only tried to give them his best yet they left.


    But then there was his wife...who affect everything, every hurt that he had incurred upon her, every harsh word that he had directed upon her...still she stayed, waited for him.


    He at that time knew that he needed no one...it was all in the past. His present and future was his wife.


    "As I said before and I will say it again, Valeria...it does not matter. I m over it...I have been over it for quite a few years now...it was hard but I hade to learn to let go of things that valued us over a million dors..."


    "It was not her fault, Kian...I forced her to..."


    Valeria knew that it was not working so she tried to interrupt him to make him see it.


    "My wife is born and raised in riches, Valeria...the kind of richness you and I were not born into...yet when I lost everything, she came with me, stood beside me...loved me only me when she could have just left me...there was a line of suitors for her..."


    Kian stated, thinking to himself that how wrong he had been calling her selfish when in reality, she was the most selfless person...a soft woman he had evere across.


    "Yet after everything...you never came to know her..."


    "What do you mean??"


    Kian questioned, not understanding his aunt''s words. At that moment he just wanted to go back home and see his wife.


    Apologize to her for how he had treated her earlier and was also fearing if the news that she disclosed was true??


    "She is the daughter of Maximus Rutherford. "


    "I know that Valeria..."


    He did not get it why she was bringing that up, naming Tinsley''s dead father, who had never cared for his daughter.


    "The very man who was the reason behind you and your mother''s separation which caused her death of heartbreak..."


    And Kian could not believe or neither process the words he was hearing afreshing out of Valeria''s mouth.


    "It took me a month to find you in a shitty orphanage, take you up only to discover my sister...Natalie was long gone...dead over the painful separation from her only son..."


    A lone tear spurted out of Valeria''s eyes as she thought about those days. Kian remained rooted to his spot.


    "Natalie and me...we were orphans and she settled for a simple job as a homemaker in the Rutherford Mansion while I left her to settle in the city and came across my husband...and we lost our contact with me travelling around the world with Jager..."


    Valeria went on with her narration of the story. She wanted him to know why she was so against his marriage to that woman...who had a naive face to deceive the clever of men and women just like her mother, Marshally Rutherford.


    "I heard you were born, I never knew who your father was but Natalie was the happiest to be your mother... it''s like having you, she had found a purpose in her life to go on, live on..."


    A shback of a woman with a brte head running around the small house after a little boy urred in Kian''s mind as Valeria went on reciting every bit of the past that he had forgotten and she never wanted him to know about it.


    "I do not know much...I only know you were friends with that rich man''s daughter, you guys would y around...and I suppose you fell for her...who would not...she let you on, she allowed you to kiss her when she was promised to someone else...and there was no one to see it..."


    She perhaps had told you about every nice childhood moment you both shared but had she ever told you that she was the one who went to her father and used you of kissing her..."


    The boy kissed the girl, at first it was a soft one. Their lips were only touching and then when he pulled her lower lip inside his mouth, her clutch onto his shirt cor got tighter.


    He deepened the kiss, cupping her face. Sitting under that mango tree, it was for the first time, he was feeling something so magical he had ever felt.


    When he tried to go for round two, she had pushed him off of her and ran away as if she was against it. While he sat under the mango tree, blushing over his first kiss...their first kiss.


    "The next day, you were dragged out of that small house they had given to you and your mother to live on...your mother begged for that cruel man to let you go...she was ready to leave the ce with you but...well rest you know..."


    Kian remained frozen in his position. Valeria turned around and peeked into his eyes.


    "It was her...she did it but she will never admit that or tell you that! "

 Chapter 180 - IF YOU HAD KEPT YOUR PROMISE,I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE MOTHER OF TWO DEATH CHILDREN!

    PRECAP


    "For years...I thought...I wondered why would she leave me2 like that all of a sudden?? Right after we had lost our child..."


    Kian spoke to himself, realizing that the answer to the question that he had been searching for years...stopped recently was finally out for him.


    I just want everything to fall back to its ce now...now that you know that it was not Serena who left you, it was I who made her do it...she had no fault, Kian!"


    Valeria was ready to take all the me so that Kian would leave Tinsley. She could nevere to terms with that marriage.


    "My wife is born and raised in riches, Valeria...the kind of richness you and I were not born into...yet when I lost everything, she came with me, stood beside me...loved me only me when she could have just left me...there was a line of suitors for her..."


    Kian stated, thinking to himself that how wrong he had been calling her selfish.


    ________________________________________________


    "I do not know much...I only know you were friends with that rich man''s daughter, you guys would y around...and I suppose you fell for her...who would not...she let you on, she allowed you to kiss her when she was promised to someone else...and there was no one to see it.....


    The next day, you were dragged out of that small house they had given to you and your mother to live on...your mother begged for that cruel man to let you go...she was ready to leave the ce with you but...well rest you know..."


    Kian remained frozen in his position. Valeria turned around and peeked into his eyes.


    "It was her...she did it but she will never admit that or tell you that! "


    Valeriapleted and at that moment, all the shbacks that he had had in their honeymoon...a brief of all the faded memories...the redhead girl and the smilingdy...his mother.


    What he could not grasp was why would Tinsley do that??? Why would she get to tell it her father??


    Why would she do something as horrendous as such that??


    He could not either get off that image where she pushed him away from kissing and ran away.


    Could it be that she did not like the kiss?? She even leaned forward before him...he was just so confused at this point.


    "That is why...that is why I can nevere in terms with that girl...she always will remind me of the sister, I lost...the darkness from where I had pulled you through....when Serena came and you were going in the same direction, Kian I had to do something...and I ended up forcing her away..."


    Valeria tried to justify her actions with words. Her rtionship with her nephew mattered to her more than anything because he was all that she had as a family.


    "I can''t see you going through all that pain...all that ache and hurt...and you do not tell anyone, you just keep them within you which is so hard to bring you back to normal...I could not let you go through it again and so when your mind chose to forget everything, I did not bother telling u that back but now when you are headed to be with the woman who broke hell upon us...separated you from your mother, and what not...I can''t...I could nevere in terms with that, Kian!"


    And for the first time, Kian saw tears in his aunt''s eyes. She was crying while letting everything out.


    He had never seen her cry and it made hime forward and pull her body toward his and hug her.


    She had done so much for him. From finding him to raising him up, making him the man he was, today. He could never repay her back of her efforts.


    No matter whatever feud they had, she only did what she thought was right for him in her own way.


    She did not want him to go through the pain and hurt again so she tried to resolve the problem in her way and Kian saw nothing wrong in it anymore.


    He only regretted of being so bitter to her for just a woman...and now he was not even sure about that too.


    "I do not have anything to gain by hurting you, nephew....you are the only one I have been left with....son!!! I have never seen as anyone less than the child that I miscarried!"


    Valeria caressed his jaws and Kian kissed the back of her hands, trying to calm her down.


    Later that afternoon, while driving back to his home, he could not stop thinking about the truth he had discovered.


    It was a lot to take in. And no wonder why Valeria was keeping it all to herself because if let out, it would have disrupted everything...all that he had known or perceived it to be true.


    And it had. It indeed had sort of ruined something he had built inside his head. The rtionship with his wife was more than uncertain ever.


    He kept ying that shback in his head where she pushed him away after the kiss and ran back home, trying to deduce that if she was really not into it?? And so sheined about it to her father??


    Meanwhile, in that pouring rain, Tinsley drove back to their countryside home. The mango tree underneath everything had started and was going to end probably.


    She parked her Audi nearby the gate and jumped straight through the small wall because the gate was sealed and locked.


    She fell t on her bump on the muddy water and stood up. The rain had drenched her clothing and red hair.


    She walked towards the house which looked like it had been abandoned for ages but it had only been like eight months since herst visit here...on herst twenty-first birthday.


    After which her parents had died. The night where her engagement was conducted in the backwards hall out of nowhere.


    And where Josh had mocked her to be a living slut all his life because he saw her once with a boy who had kissed her underneath the mango tree...and that boy was her husband today.


    She sighed and strolled towards the garden where she had so many memories.


    She could hear her small self running around the field, screaming for Kian to catch her if he could.


    In the far, when she tilted her head, she could see the small servant quarter where the nicest would call out for them to eat.


    She kept walking and got inside the mansion by breaking in through the window.


    The ss shattered into pieces as she threw therge garden brick into it. The plot was basically empty and she did not care if anybody could hear her.


    She climbed in through the window and roamed around the empty mansion. There were no things, no chairs, no furniture, nothing.


    There were spider webs, voidness and she kept strolling around every corner remembering the good old times, her mother used to host parties here.


    Her birthday would be celebrated here often. It was a gift her grandmother, Maria Nebraska Johnson had given to her mother, during the marriage.


    And her mother often drove to here with her whenever father was out in kong business trips because Marshally grew up in a farm...a vineyard, she could never settle patiently in the city mansion...their primary residency.


    She got out of the house through the back door and it led her straight to the mango tree.


    She closed her eyes and opened it only to see the tree, still in its prime, as the rain kept showering over it.


    She had no idea why she was here again. What caused her toe back to the ce everything had started??


    Maybe because there was a feeling...a very disturbing feeling within the pit of her stomach, that everything wasing to an end.


    She walked under the rain and headed straight towards the tree. She saw them, she heard the giggles, theughter, the yful stares...and she was afraid that she might have to bid farewell to all that sooner.


    As Kian drove back home, he was greeted by the same emptiness. He saw that his wife''s car was out again and on asking the homemade, Alice who replied with the same uncertainty that she had no idea.


    He tried to call her and when he saw that her phone location was back on the Anderson Corp. Tower, he was beyond furious.


    He called her, and the ring went on. Nathan heard a phone ringing but could not figure out from where it wasing into his office.


    When he left for home, the phone rang again. The cleaningdy picked the phone up from the crease of the sofa and delivered it to the lost and found department.


    Kian threw his phone away, breaking it into pieces.

 Chapter 181 - IM READY TO WALK WITH YOU!

    PRECAP


    "I can''t see you going through all that pain...all that ache and hurt...and you do not tell anyone, you just keep them within you which is so hard to bring you back to normal...I could not let you go through it again and so when your mind chose to forget everything, I did not bother telling u that back but now when you are headed to be with the woman who broke hell upon us...separated you from your mother, and what not...I can''t...I could nevere in terms with that, Kian!"


    He only regretted being so bitter to her for just a woman...and now he was not even sure about that too.


    "I do not have anything to gain by hurting you, nephew....you are the only one I have been left with....son!!! I have never seen you any less than the child that I miscarried!"


    Valeria caressed his jaws and Kian kissed the back of her hands, trying to calm her down.


    ________________________________________________


    Meanwhile, in that pouring rain, Tinsley drove back to their countryside home. The mango tree underneath everything had started and was going to end probably.


    Kian tried to call her and when he saw that her phone location was back on the Anderson Corp. Tower, he was beyond furious.


    Kian threw his phone away, breaking it into pieces.


    ________________________________________________


    As the morning sun rose over the horizon, the chirping of birds and a few audible humans voices, made Tinsley wake up from her deep slumber.


    She woke up to realize that she had fallen asleep inside the forlorn mansion right on the empty cold floor...the room that used to be her.


    Gone was the princess bed, the never-ending cupboards, the queen-sized vanity, the maids waiting by to help her get ready for the morning.


    She rubbed her eyes as she looked outside through the window. She saw a few people talking about themselves.


    She wore her jacket back. It had dried off from the wetness of the rain. She climbed down the stairs and did not expect toe face to face the one every woman...Valeria Wilson.


    Her steps got halted in the mid stairs and so did Valeria''s eyes got stuck onto the woman...wife of his nephew.


    The men behind her in the suite too stood ideal as they did not have any idea that there was a person inside the forlorn mansion.


    "Gentlemen give us a moment!"


    Valeria excused the men away and they all left leaving her and Tinsley in the middle of the very hall.


    "Come down from the high pedestal you think you are standing from now!"


    Valeria mocked. Tinsley obliged, climbing down the leftover stairs and standing in front of her.


    "I told him about everythingst night!"


    Valeria confessed, meaning narrating out the entire history to Kian. Tinsley just stood unfazed as Valeria had thought her to be terrified for having to tell Kian everything.


    "Yet I could not find one moment where I did something wrong spending the night here!"


    Tinsley replied. All she had gathered from her stay in this house, the adjoined garden, the mango tree...happy memories, she would treasure all her life.


    "It does not matter now!"


    "It never mattered, Valeria! "


    Tinsley said, stopping her midway. Something had changed within her and Valeria could see that.


    "When your husband does not trust you, nothing matters anymore!"


    Tinsley went on. She had realized so much in her stay alone at this deserted mansion.


    "I did not learn to grow up. I have been the same girl he kissed underneath that mango tree when he grew up and changed. He fell in love, almost had a child with the supposed love of his life if you had not fucked it up...so much had happened, Valeria..."


    Valeria listened to her silently as she spoke up for the very first time, being so bold as ever.


    "Yet time had frozen for me, not for him, not for my father, neither for Josh...my mother had wasted away her life trying to be the perfect wife to a man who did not deserve her...but I m not going to walk on her footsteps..."


    As the rain subsided that evening, yesterday, Tinsley noticed that sacred spot where her mother would watch down at the sunset, trying toplete the family painting...watching the sunset over the horizon, which she could neverplete.


    "I m going to go now and if your nephew steps over me this time, I m going to abide by the promise I gave you to get before you abducted me...to disappear from his life!"


    Valeria could not believe the words that wereing out from Tinsley''s mouth. She very well remembered the day when she had trapped Tin with the false promise of leading her out of the country.


    "Sadly, if that day, you would have kept your part of the bargain, helping me out in leaving everything behind...I would not have ended being the mother of two unborn dead babies, bleeding to death inside of me..."


    Valeria gasped at the knowledge of the miss carry that her nephew''s wife had gone through.


    "If I could not save the flesh growing inside of me...could not hold them tight from leaving me...how do I expect to hold a man who had only been in love with me about ten years ago...or maybe not?"


    Tinsley questioned herself and her face was enveloped with a sad cruel smile. Valeria remained mum the entirety of their monotonous conversation.


    "...or maybe it had been in my head all this time!"


    She concluded and walked past Valeria to leave her with the men and carry on with her selling and buying of the countryside estate.


    She got inside her Audi, not before giving onest nce to the mango tree, still blooming from the fresh rain.


    She drove back to the city and to her house and see if she could save her marriage that was a shame from the very beginning.


    When she had entered the house, it was in peace. She crossed the living room and climbed upstairs into her room.


    And nothing there was in peace. Everything was broken, shattered into pieces, the sheets had been burned and the ashes were resting on the bed.


    "Oh cool! Look my wife is back..."


    Kian eximed, standing up and walking towards her, a ss of whisky on his hand.


    He peeked his grey dted eyes into her evergreen ones from the rain. His breath reeked of alcohol.


    "...after whoring the night!"


    He dropped the ss from his hand and it shattered into pieces, right on her feet. A lone tear spurted out from her eyes but she did not cry out.


    Kian went back to the bar to pour himself another ss and Tinsley rubbed her eyes away.


    "Don''t you think you had enough to drink?"


    She tried to evade her husband from drinking till his neck. He red at her and she stood on her ground.


    "What should I do than knowing my wife...my fucking pretty wife had so many skeletons in her closet and when they are out...I m scared...I have no words!"


    Tinsley kept quiet, listening to him. She remembered Valeria''s confession from the morning how she told that she had told Kian the truth.


    "The scariest of all them would be watching our two babies bleeding out from her body!"


    Tinsley remarked and it hit Kian right at the angry tip of his nose and he threw the ss that was on his hand again, shutting her up.


    "Don''t you start with your bullshit again!!! Have you even told me the part where you lied to your bastard father that I had forced kiss you...he separated me from my mother and she died out of heartbreak...have you ever bothered to narrate this part of our childhood ever??"


    Kian spat, sat down on the floor, closing his eyes, mourning over the shback of his mother, running after him...the small boy being dragged away by a bastard and thrashed inside the taxi.


    Tinsley hade to know how much of the truth he hade to know. But she had lost the light in her to keep fighting for them against him...she was going to surrender pretty soon...not yet...just not yet.


    "Did you ever tell me the part where you almost fathered a child with your ex?"


    It was at that moment, Kian had realized that she had followed him to his aunt''s house and heard everything.


    "I guess we are both equal then doing our best to let the past remain in the past...but if you are ready to stand up and walk forward to the future..."


    Tinsley walked forward and extended her hand to him for him to hold back and stand up.


    "...I m ready to walk with you!"

    THANK YOU.

 Chapter 182 - WEVE FAILED MISERABLY!

    Kian pped her hand away and Tinsley did no effort to hold it back out for him.


    "I was...I was at least in peace back then... than now!"


    Kian let out, and it stroke hard Tinsley,ing to know that he was in peace with Serena but not her.


    "You were in peace with her?"


    She asked him back to confirm. He rolled his eyes at her, still sitting on the floor.


    "The happy days...fuck the happy days!! Did not those happy days fucked up my whole life??"


    Kian spat out, referring to their childhood memories. Those, Tinsley would often narrate to him...running around the huge field, watching the sunset together...the mango tree.


    Tinsley stooped low, bent down and leaned forward, cupping his face in between her palms, making him look up at her.


    "Tell me...tell me what would give you peace?"


    She wanted to know...know the fact that would put her so tense husband in peace. She was ready to give it to him at any cost.


    "If you had fucked off from my life long ago!"


    He whispered those words out to her, on her face. She did not drop her hold from his face.


    He needed to be out from anywhere she was close. He needed to stay close yet not too close to her.


    He hade to a point of not knowing what exactly he wanted or desired for. Tinsley leaned in and dropped a sweet kiss on his forehead.


    ________________________________________________


    Marshallyid down on the bed after Max tied up his belt, bolting his zipper upwards.


    "Tell me...tell me what would give you peace, Max?"


    She asked that question, looking up at the ceiling. Tinsley was in the other room, listening to the noisesing out from the other side, cing her ears on the wall.


    "If you had fucked off from my life!"


    Her father had answered, picking his coat up and walking out of the hotel room.


    Tinsley watched the entire scene unfold before her eyes through the keyhole of the door as her mother chose to stay still...not giving up.


    ________________________________________________


    "Anything for your sanity and peace!"


    She said and stood up, turning around, getting ready to leave.


    She was not going to be her mother...she was not going toy on that bed till her deathbed.


    Kian was taken aback by her behaviour and did not understand how she could just stand up and leave only because she had asked her of that??


    Jealousy rushed in him...speeding through his alcohol reeked blood vessels as he was reminded of where exactly his wife had spent the night.


    And perhaps she was going back...going back to be with that bastard now that everything was out in the air.


    She had nothing to say...nothing anymore. Not make him try to force listen to her side of the story or cry her eyes out that she had not done it...she had not and he was ready to believe her.


    He would have...he really would have. Because no matter, how many times he had thought of a solution to the problem...a possible escape from this disaster...there was none.


    He could not punish her...not when she was just a teenager like him for doing what she had done...the past could not bring him back his mother and the past he could not go back and un marry her...the woman who became the sole reason for his mother''s death...separating him from her.


    "So go back to him...that is what best you could do...just fucking go...you bitch!!"


    Tinsley did not turn back as she kept walking forward. She knew that they both needed time...time to heal from all these new revtions.


    "Be in peace, Kian!"


    She whispered, closing the door behind her. The sound of only her beating heart could be heard.


    ________________________________________________


    Three days had gone by and she had hoped that he was in some peace as she was trying to find her peace.


    Sitting in the garden, the green grass brushing over her legs. The warm breeze was so soothing.


    Madison walked towards her with mugs of coffee for the both of them. She sat right beside Tinsley, handing her the mug.


    "So what next?"


    Tinsley asked, not having any clue for herself as to what she should do next after reciting everything to Madi, two days ago.


    "I cheated!"


    It was an abrupt, all of a sudden confession. When something had been kept hidden underneath your heart for too long, it was bound toe out in the most strange of time or situation.


    Tinsley tilted her neck to look at Madison, shocked and astonished. She was not expecting to hear that at all.


    Madison waited for Tinsley to say anything or react, knowing that she would be the only one to listen to her without any judgement.


    "I could not control myself...be it lust, an irresistible attraction for each other...I gave in, not just once. I have been seeing him for a week now. I lied to Lana to be with him..."


    Madison guiltily let out everything. Every time she talked with Lana over the phone, she felt like drowning herself in the river of fire.


    "Who is it??"


    Tinsley asked, wanting to know who the man was. Never in her wildest dreams, she could think of Madison cheating on Lana.


    Yet it had happened. Madison had cheated on Lana, her true love. And Kian had confessed that he found peace with Serena and not her.


    "John...John Krasinski!"


    Madison whispered the name out, looking down at the grass, biting on her lips.


    Tinsley''s eyes widened to their length, a gasp passed out of her mouth. She could not reckon the fact seriously.


    Was love even there?? Or do people lie about being in love??


    Do they even love or love was just in the head of the people??


    Madison''s confession only had made Tinsley to see everything in a different light.


    "Please, say something!"


    Madison requested, wanting to hear anything...even the sound of a bitter p pped against her cheeks. She needed it to realize the blunder...the kind of a mistake she hadmitted...or was the worst part that she did not feel guilty.


    "What do you even want me to say, Madi?? "


    Tinsley questioned as both of their eyes interlocked. Madi''s were full of guilt, remorse and Tinsley''s were broken...the hope that love was real had long gone...bid farewell.


    "What you did...do you know the intensity of your action?? Your action will grow a girl to have a hard time trusting in love again... every time someone else in the future would say ''I love you!''to her...she won''t believe, not right away...not the way she had trusted you..."


    Tears spurted out from Madi''s eyes as she did not dare to part her eyes from Tinsley''s firey ones, spitting fire at her way.


    "Yet you will continue to do it because of what love means for others...it does not for you...if love for someone is their whole life, it does not matter to you because love you have starting to feel with someone else....no matter how much she tries to give you your peace...you just can''t find sce in her peace...you find it in someone else''s arms..."


    Tinsley went out with her feeling both at the disappointment of her failed marriage...her love life.


    "You are no different than Kian or Josh or my father.."


    And a hand p was heard against Tinsley''s cheeks. Madison had pped her, for daring topare her as in the same line as those men...


    Tinsley pped Madison back. There was a silence as Madi hit Tin back and Tin repeated the action.


    "We have failed...failed miserably, Madi!!"


    Tinsley broke down and so did Madison and she pulled Tin in her arms, hugging her body to herself.


    They both cried together for ruining such a beautiful thing, they had dreamt of living through their life.


    As the days passed, Tinsley and Madison did not speak about what had happened in the garden anymore.


    Lana dyed her return to home from her modelling trip and Madison felt guilty about finding rxation on that thought.


    She knew that she had toe clean but when she had no idea. Tinsley knew that she needed an ultimatum from her husband if anything was left at all...

    "We have failed...failed miserably, Madi!!"


    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley patiently waited for his secretary to call her in, sitting in the waiting area.


    It had been a week since theirst encounter in their shattered bedroom. The picture of the moment was very lively in her mind.


    Dressed in the white frock she had left, she was losing hope every second that if this might or might not work well.


    "You cane in!"


    The secretary gave her a head up. She stood up. She had not bothered to give her real identity to them in the reception that she was indeed the wife of their boss.


    She herself was not sure how long that would besting? Their marriage was hanging on a loose thread and she did not even know the life expectancy of the thread either.


    One wrong move and the thread would break, jeopardizing everything about life in present and future.


    She straightened the crease of her dress and then walked behind the secretary, following after.


    Kian was watching the view outside from the ss wall. He had no idea how he was going to face her.


    Not because he was regretting his decision of letting her go or be angry at the fact that she had been residing in his arch-nemesis home?


    The door hung open and in came, Tinsley. She had never been to his new office. And today, she was here.


    Kian turned around and for the first since the week, their eyes interlocked but he parted them off of her the first.


    There was an awkward silence. They both did not know how to confront each other...trying to find their way back to where they had left.


    He was her husband. The man, she had fallen in love with in her childhood and how to get back with him when he had told her so boldly that he had never found peace with her...


    She could not find a leftover connection between them that could surpass the peace that he had imed he found with her...Serena.


    Nor she knew of any way to tell him that they really had lost their second offspring.


    She was his wife, who had imed to be in love with him since their childhood days and even though not he did not have quite clear memories of any of it, he still sort of tried to take her word for word.


    Yet she turned out to be the woman, who became the reason behind his and his dead mother''s separation, causing her death and changing his life forever.


    How was he to live with her now, aodating the truth and the lies together...the betrayal...the ache and the pain??


    "How have you been?"


    She was the first to break the silence. He looked up at her face...the fact that he could not go a second without kissing or caressing...now he had a hard time, matching his eyes with her even for the sh of a second...because it made him have those memories shback in his mind.


    "Alright!"


    His answer was brief and monotone. She nodded her head. There was a distance of only a few meters between them.


    His big ss table was a barrier between them...yet it felt like he was miles away from her reach.


    "I thought..."


    "Why are you, here??"


    Kian interrupted her in the middle. She stood, a bit taken aback by his tone and rage.


    "I...ugh...came to talk about us??"


    Tinsley let out, being confused herself. Oning here, she was confident to resolve the matter...to tell him her side of the story, the truth that had been misinterpreted by the people who did not like seeing them together.


    "What is there to talk about us??"


    Kian questioned her back. She could not give him an answer right away. She licked her dried lips and he parted his eyes away.


    "Right...since there is nothing to talk about, pray leave...I have work!"


    He was very politely asking her to fuck off and she understood that. She tried to stand still on her ground, trying to act unfazed by his cruel words.


    "About what happened..."


    "I do not need to know what you have been doing with that bastard in his office...I do not need to know if it were really you who told your monster of a father and fucked up my life...the simple conclusion to this is...I do not need to know anything that''s rted to you...I curse the day you showed up again to only fuck me twice the first time you did...."


    Kian spat out. And Tinsley could see that he was not over it. He could never be over it.


    Valeria had done her job. She had dropped the very bomb, that she was afraid would tear open the pirs of her marriage.


    Regardless, she did not understand what he meant by spending the night with whom?? She had no idea about that.


    "I never told my father about..."


    "Did not I say?? Or are you fucking dumb?? I do not need to know!!"


    Kian stopped her in the midway again. She did not allow her to be emotional or sentimental to his words.


    "The day we had kissed, Josh..."


    She tried to continue but Kian did not want to hear. He had heard her enough...listened to her happy days, go round memories enough. He had made up his mind and there was no changing it.


    "As I said, I do not need to know!!"


    And angrily, he threw the gas b right behind the wall where Tinsley was standing and it broke, shattering into pieces.


    Tinsley gasped, bringing her palms to close her mouth from screaming. The secretary heard the noise from outside but did not dare to get inside to check. Their boss had been angry since the past week.


    "Would have been so better if I handed Josh his contracted slut? Would not it?"


    He very cruelly remarked, a sadistic mocking smile taking over his face and it was her cue...her cue to know that they had gone to the point of no return.


    It was very hard...very difficult to watch your marriage being destroyed, ruined, shattered into pieces of all the good and bad memories together...right in the front of your eyes.


    Yet there was nothing she could do anymore. Things had gotten too far. The match stick had been lit so much before that the house was already in ashes before she could submerge the fire off.


    Most of it all, it was heartbreaking to see your own husband...the love of your life actively participating in breaking the bond that connected them...instead of standing beside her and fighting together to save it.


    Kian could not live with her...knowing the truth now, he could never even dream of staying in the same room as her and to be breathing clearly?


    Her mother must havee to this point too where their marriage had already broken with her father.


    But she had decided to stay and try to fix it or die with it? Tinsley had no idea what had led her mother, Marshally Rutherford to go on living in a marriage to kill herself daily.


    And here she was, she hade to that point of no return too. She knew that he was never going to see her the same way. They had reached the point of no return.


    Yet she would be willing to stay...if only if...she was going to ask him that...if he did feel for her...even if it was the breath of a needle, she was going to stay.


    "Could you ever love me?"


    She asked and waited, patiently for a few seconds for him to answer. And when those seconds turned into a minute...she had gotten her answer.


    A lone tear escaped from her evergreen eyes, realizing it had indeede to an end.


    She rubbed the tears off and gave him a peaceful smile. It reflected so many emotions that he could not pinpoint.


    "Have a nice day, Mr Randall! Thank you for all your time!"


    It was thest thing, she had said, before turning back and walking away, closing the door behind her...closing a chapter of their life together...her life with him.

    ________________________________________________


    <strong>SEASON 3...</strong>


    <strong>NEW CHARACTERS ALERT!!!!</strong>


    ________________________________________________


    PRECAP


    "I...I was pregnant!"


    And Kian just left her there and looked away from her. He did not know how to react to that.


    She was pregnant...??? How could that be possible just out of blue??


    "You are one selfish, obsessive woman and I m not going to tolerate this...this whatever game you are trying to y of making me feel guilty...a mistake that you want me to feel that I made by going with Serena which could have been stopped if I had stayed back....?"


    Kian went on, not giving one chance to let her speak in between. He was not going to fall to her game.


    "You disgust me, right now!"


    ________________________________________________


    "I do not have anything to gain by hurting you, nephew....you are the only one I have been left with....son!!! I have never seen you any less than the child that I miscarried!"


    Valeria caressed his jaws and Kian kissed the back of her hands, trying to calm her down.


    ________________________________________________


    Meanwhile, in that pouring rain, Tinsley drove back to their countryside home. The mango tree underneath everything had started and was going to end probably.


    Kian tried to call her and when he saw that her phone location was back on the Anderson Corp. Tower, he was beyond furious.


    Kian threw his phone away, breaking it into pieces.


    ________________________________________________


    "Would have been so better if I handed Josh his contracted slut? Would not it?"


    He very cruelly remarked, a sadistic mocking smile taking over his face and it was her cue...her cue to know that they had gone to the point of no return.


    "Could you ever love me?"


    She asked and waited, patiently for a few seconds for him to answer. And when those seconds turned into a minute...she had gotten her answer.


    ________________________________________________


    "Mr Bamford, you are up!"


    The nurse called out, looking down at her cardboard file and a tall man, with dirty blonde hairs, wearing a normal white t-shirt and a denim jacket over, nodded his head and followed her.


    " Ross Bamford, Age 35 yrs, No medical gic condition, no family history of drugs, depression, malignant diseases...you look all fit and fine, Mr Bamford!"


    The doctor dered, going through the details of the file that the nurse gave her.


    "Just call me, Ross. Mr Bamford was my father who is long gone!"


    The doctor smiled. Ross returned it with his sly smirk that the female seemed to get woe with.


    "Mr Bam...I mean, Ross, what makes you want to do this?"


    "What makes me want to do what, Ms Chelsea?? Can I address you that instead of boring ''Doc''?"


    Ross implored, pointing at her name tag imprinted on the cardboard piece on her table. Chelsea nodded.


    "Wanting toe here and do this?"


    "You meaning here for my sperm donation? "


    Ross appealed. And the young doctor''s cheek got tainted in red paint. Not every day, such a young, and handsome British gentleman would visit her office for such a purpose.


    What had seemed more peculiar was the fact that being so extraordinarily brilliant in looks, and in prime youth, having a family name as Bamford...connecting him to the Bamford Woods and Corp., the International Global Wood Company...would want to do this??


    Coming to donate his seeds for artificial insemination of any single woman who would want to get pregnant??


    Or for women whose husbands or male partners are infertile.


    "Yes, Ross! Why?? I mean...I m not against it and it''s not my job to intervene in either but it requires me to know why...what is your motive behind this...? Like if you...I mean your sample which we will take and store it, gets selected by any woman...could be any woman...a wife, an old middle-aged woman trying to conceive...you would be the father of that child if it''s born but you would nevere to know or heard or see them..."


    "I went through the terms and conditions, Chelsea so I know that part!"


    Ross chuckled, interrupting the doctor in between. He knew what he was letting himself on in.


    "So then why??"


    Chelsea asked, not understanding the need for him to go through this. Normally, her donation would be for young boys in need of money, or any husband, or boyfriends...


    "Why me?? Or do you ask why to every one of your donated?"


    Ross interviewed. And Chelsea did not mean her interrogation for him to feel it directed to him personally, yet her curiosity had led to that.


    "I mean...you are rich, got the looks, have nice family...you can get any girl, marry an heiress simr to you then why the need to donate your family seeds?"


    The doctor finally let out, what she had been wanting to know internally all these times ever since she got the file of Ross Bamford.


    " ''My family seeds!'' That does sound so awkward!"


    Ross remarked and Chelsea did not mean in any way to make him feel awkward.


    "I just want to do it...knowing how my life is going to end...hoping that a part of me would be left on this earth long after I m gone..."


    Ross answered, trying to make it as simple as he could. It did not satiate Chelsea''s hunger to know more, yet she could not press anymore, being chained to her work''s chair and duty.


    The nurseter came and directed, Ross to an empty, private cubicle like room and left him with a stic can.


    Ross sighed and looked at the stic white can where he was supposed to donate his sperm. The door was closed and he took a sit on one of thatfy sofa.


    Never, in his life, had he thought, he would sit in a peanut-sized room, with a can, getting ready to fill it.


    Oh! Lord! He had called upon, wondering had this thought of easing his content had ever urred to him into a can??


    When he still could go out and get a Victoria Secret''s model or many more on his bed right away.


    Josephine was going to be so mad at him for still going on with this horrendous idea, as she had tagged it to be when he told her about it, the first time.


    He unzipped his zipper and let his manhood out. It was nowhere near to be semi-hard and how the hell was he going to fill it up in the next thirty minutes.


    He had a record ofsting longer than required on the bed and maybe that was why women who be bedded with would visit him again and again...the next time.


    Jerking himself, trying to fill the can for a good ten minutes now, he had given up, standing up, frustrated.


    He was not even horny with the hospital vibe surrounding him. Everything seemed so serious and not lustrous.


    He thought he might have overestimated himself...he might could not do this and it was very stupid.


    He was about to get out and the nurse that had let him inside poked her head in as soon as the door hung open.


    "Having difficulty sir!?"


    The way, she had spoken out in the voice of a sexy vixen. Right in, seated on hisp, she started giving him a hand as he sat on the sofa, groaning out, smelling her feminine scent from the crook of her neck.


    "Fuck!! Love, go on!!"


    He grunted out, squeezing the nurse''s breasts. She moaned out, running her hand up and down on his length furiously.


    And in no time, as his pole throbbed against her hand, the nurse got down on her knees trying to take him in her mouth.


    His face was red, from the sweat and heat. Yet the sanity that he needed toplete in the can had not left him.


    "Not in you, love...this bastard gets lucky today!"


    He let out and poured himself and his everything in the can. The nurse giggled, shyly, getting up on her feet.


    "Christ! I had no idea how would I have done this without your help!"


    He closed the lid of the can, standing up to zip his pants. The nurse felt so hot and desired by this eligible bachelor in the States.


    It was rare for her to even get so close as to an heir to the Bamford Wood Corp. He pulled her in for a deep kiss.


    "Rosette isn''t it??"


    The nurse nodded. That was her name, yes. She had excused herself for a washroom break from her work and it was past that time.


    "You have no idea how thankful I m to you, Rosette!"


    "Hmm..."


    The nurse moaned, still caressing his bulge over his jeans, although he was trying his best to pry her naughty hands off of him.


    "Will you do me another favour?"


    "Only if you...", Rosette winked and Ross understood her. He could not put a woman down on her offer.

 Chapter 185 - JUST A PICTURE AND NOTHING ELSE!

    <strong>SEASON 3!</strong>


    ________________________________________________


    "Meet me in Park Avenue, my uncle''s resort tonight in exchange, if ever my sample gets selected, you promise me, you will give me a call with a photo of the woman, who wants it ok??"


    Rosette got into a quick thinking about his proposal as it seemed to be breaching a lot of conditions of their hospital''s policy of being a donor.


    "But..."


    "I know...I know, it''s breaking your rules and whatever not...I m just asking you to send me a photo of the woman without any of her personal details...Im leaving for London tomorrow and might nevere back...so there is no chance for me to find this woman...whoever she will be...I just want to see the face of the mother of my child will be...that is all I ask for, pretty Rosette!"


    Ross pressed, knowing he was ying a dangerous game of trying to get in the system by breaking its rule.


    And Rosette was not going to give in just like that. He slipped his hand inside his pocket and took a thousand dors note.


    Rosette''s eyes glowed and she snatched the note from him right away, smuggling to herself and thrashing the cash inside her cleavage....a safe private locker of woman.


    "Fine!"


    She gave in and Ross could not be more joyful, that his trick had worked. Although he was nning to go high and seduce the doctor, herself but the nurse was also fine...as long as it worked in his terms.


    "I will see you in the evening then, sexy!"


    He pecked her lips and stood up, getting ready to leave. Rosette watched his move hungrily.


    Ross winked at her before leaving and sighed in content that he had finally done it aftering out of the hospital.


    He flipped his keys and walked towards his Ferrari and drove off to his step sister''s house in Malibu.


    A long six hours drive as he sped on the road, knowing he would have to be back againter in the evening to secure his part of the deal with the nurse.


    He dropped the cigarette off as he took a turn, getting off the main road. He ringed at Josephine''s number but it went to her voicemail.


    "Hey, Phine, I m headed to yours...I got the news that you won''t like it over the phone so give me a call if you are at home!"


    He left a message and looked out of the window, letting the ss slide down totally, switching the air conditioning off, feeling the refreshing air.


    His eyes caught a redhead, standing on the footpath, facing her back at him. The way her red hair was blowing was intriguing.


    He got lost in the view, yet when the traffic eased, he had to drive forward and flipped his gazes back on the road.


    On reaching his sister''s sshouse say from the spotlight of Malibu. He parked it in front of the veranda and got out, having his own key to get inside the vi.


    But before he could do that, the doir hung open, and he was about to smile but a thick pnded against his right cheek.


    "What the fuck??"


    He cursed out, totally not expecting that at all. Josephine blew on her cigarette, standing aside for him to get inside.


    "So you cleaned the house, huh??"


    He remarked, looking around. No one had visited the house for a probable straight-four years and so it had been a mess, the first time he had visited and did not bother helping his sister out.


    "Since I have to stay here for the next year, figuring out the mess dad had made, so might as well clean the ce...make it a home to live in!"


    Josephine replied, dropping the cigarette in the smoking bin and taking a sit on the sofa. Ross joined her.


    "You do know you coulde back to London with me and never return?"


    It only had been three months of their father''s death and thepany''s branch in California was a mess.


    Their uncle, Brody Bamford was dealing with every international centre currently and was hoping that his nephew would step in to help as the rightful heir to the Bamford Corp. after he dropped out of the military only a few months ago too and did not bother to join in once his father had died.


    So, Josephine, his stepsister had to take up the responsibility, only three years younger than him.


    "You sure like to ditch your family in when they need you!"


    Josephinemented, getting annoyed at his brother''s attitude acting like he had no care for anything anymore for life.


    "So why did you pop up here all of a sudden??"


    "I did it!!"


    Ross answered, after a long pause of a few seconds and Josephine could not believe her ears in the first go, yet when he did not blink, she knew that he had actually for real done it.


    "No shit!!! Man?!"


    Jose freaked out, and even though she was not up for the idea at first, considering that it was he had been wanting to do for a whole month time, she was fine with him finally getting over it with.


    "So I have this nurse, Rosette, she will give me the picture of the woman who takes up on my sample..."


    He went on and Jose listened to him silently. Although she did im that it was breaking the rules yet both he and she had hoped that it would work out for his sake.


    "But what if...what if your is never gets selected??"


    "Ohmon! Phine!!That is what you first tell me off after going through such a big fucking thing!!"


    Ross eximed, not being able to feel that feeling that if for real, his sample would never be selected...there we''re just so many donors.


    "I m just saying..."


    "Ahhh stop being a joy kill!! You know that women could never go without getting a fill that is from me!!"


    "Eww!!! Gross!!"


    Josephine threw a cushion in his way and he threw it back at her. After a yful cup of tea, he bid his sister farewell.


    She waved at him as he drove off from her driveway, leaving her in Malibu for a good one year.


    In the evening, he waited patiently for Rosette to show up, waiting at the bar, watching the entry door for an hour now.


    And when he finally saw her, he did not waste one single time and dragged her to his booked suite and threw her to bed.


    For hours he satisfied all her deepest and darkest fantasies and once they were all tired and sweaty, theyid down on the bed of which they had made a mess of.


    "So you want the photo even if the woman is a fat wife, divorced, with a moustache??"


    Rosette joked and he nodded. He needed to see the future mother of his child...the woman who would raise and grow his child all alone.


    "You surely want to see her then...!"


    Rosette remarked, getting up from the bed, wearing her dress back on. He watched her naked body getting dressed from the very clothes he had peeled her from.


    "Do not worry, I will contact you once your sample gets selected...even if it''s the most ugliest woman who got it!"


    Rosette said and Ross closed his eyes in contentment for finally sealing the deal.


    "But that is all, ok? You can''t ask for more?!"


    "Of course...I understand that is all, just a picture and nothing else!"


    Ross concluded. And after a dinner date, Rosette had left. She was a nice woman, not the clingy kind at all.


    She got the meaning of what a one night stand was. He would probably see or hear from her never until his samples would get selected or picked up by a host.


    He lighted up the cigarette, blowing it and sat on the side of therge French window, as the cool breeze hit his face, soothing every aching muscle in his body.


    Things were going to so much in his life, once he would leave the States for good and go back to London and work in his maternal side farm.


    He had grown out of the city lights and noise. He had grown out of the war noises, the guns, the dry desserts with no life, the cries of dying and for help.


    He just needed a peaceful life till his end and that would be all. He got off from smoking and freshened up for bed.


    The next day, his uncle had sent the jet for him. He drove to the private airport and within an hour, the jet took off for London.


    He had bid farewell to life out here but who knew that everything was going to change...not everything goes the way you think or wish of!

    THOUGHTS ABOUT ROSS BAMFORD?


    AND waiting for you guys in discord! At least let me know if you would be joining or I should just drop it :?

 Chapter 186 - THIS TIME, IT WAS GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT HER!

    Tinsley roamed around the painting shop, finding that mixture of crimson and baby pink paint.


    Her trolley was full of white canvases, brushes, paints, cardboard, pins and whatnot.


    She just needed to find that one colour and then could go back home, resting for a bit, only to start working in an hourter.


    These days, she had been so tired. Her feet, her waist, her chest, all felt so heavy and sore.


    Although, these conditions weremon during this time of the month while you were carrying a child.


    She looked down to rub her bulged out tummy, happily. Regardless, of all the hardships and all the tiredness, she felt content and sighed finding peace in her present state.


    "Mommy loves you, baby girl!"


    She just knew it was a girl, growing in her.


    ________________________________________________


    Driving back from the office, Tinsley felt all sorts of emotions but one of them being, finally looking forward to starting anew and afresh.


    She was going to take Madi''s advice. Follow her suggestion and for real this time was not going to hold herself back.


    Enough! She had enough of everything! Had enough of Love! Being stomped over in the name of love...


    As the door flung open, Madi and Lana turned over to see Tinsley and she ran up to Madi...jumping in for a tight hug, letting out the wails of pain and ache that she had been holding for so long throughout the driveway and in his office.


    Madi knew what had happened. She did not need her words to know everything. Lana came forward and patted Tinsley''s back.


    That was how it looked, sounded like...when a rtionship broke apart. The other two women hugged the poor soul, afraid, scared that they would not have to go through that.


    After a while, Tin had finally stopped crying. Her nose was red, her eyes were swollen and she felt her insides hot and cold at the same time.


    Madi bought the papers that she had been holding up to give her. She swiped the envelope containing the paperwork over to her through the table.


    Tinsley licked her lips and picked up the envelope, nervously. She felt like she knew what kind of papers could be residing in the envelope, yet she tore the front open and took the papers out.


    A small gasp left her mouth, as the DIVORCE AGREEMENT, in bold, block letters were imprinted upon the paper.


    "It is what you need to start over...cutting all the ties that hold you back for so long!"


    Madimented and even though Lana was not really sure that a divorce was the way to go for it...she kept holding hands with Madi, as she gave advice to Tin.


    "I know this all is so much to take in...it had been a month, Tin. He is noting back to you...it is official!"


    And a sob left Tinsley''s mouth. She knew that...she hade to realize that by now.


    It had been one month since shest show him...since that confrontation they had in his office.


    She did not know why she had waited for him in Madi''s house...maybe ending it all in her head seemed so easy than being done in real life.


    It was the hardest step, the hardest thing to do to break all ties with the only man you had ever loved and start over again...perhaps maybe that was why her mother stayed back?


    "Last time, I checked he was on his ind in the Maldives with Thea...he is noting back and you should not waste away your life for a handsome, stupid asshole, Tin..."


    Madi said, getting up from her seat and walking over to Tin''s ce. She held her hands in hers, rubbing the back.


    "He had you, he chose to let you go...do not wait for such a man...hate him for what he had led you through...you can''t be thankful to him for one good thing he did to you, saving you out of all the hardships, and mental pain, he had led you through..."


    Tin closed her eyes and all she saw in that sh was them in the sea, looking into each other''s eyes in their honeymoon as huge waves hit the shore.


    She opened her eyes up, quickly. It was all in her head. They were right...it was...it always had been all in her head.


    There was no love...there was no bond, the connection of souls...there was none such a thing.


    She had made it up. She had worked her mind up to make and believe in love and be in love with the only boy, who had yed with her.


    As she ran around the field, as a child, screaming, jumping, he was watching her from the corner,ter joining her.


    She thought that he must have been intending to y with her all along but it might have been the noises, she had been making that drew him to her...he did note of his own will.


    With not much, having to leave with, and not much to think about, she gave in.


    There was no way she could try and keep their marriage when he, himself was over it and did not want to even look at her anymore.


    She took the pen that Madi had offered and signed of her name under her name nk.


    It did not take much longer for her to leave this damp city either. She had the help of Madi and Lana and her brother, John.


    It took her oy two days to leave and then start over newly in San Francisco all over with a life that she had never lived before...being alone and all by herself.


    Lana had a model studio apartment there which she had rented out to Tins even when at first, she was sceptical to take it after being in debt of their help so many times, yet atst, she went for it because settling in a brand new city was difficult.


    More difficult when all your life, you had never lived by yourself. So she was d atst with all the help she was getting in settling down.


    The house had an attached kitchen with a living room, a not so fancy bedroom to the left with a small closet and a very tiny bathroom with no bathtub in it.


    Tin had no problem with that. The house had been freshly stocked by Lana as she ordered her assistant to for a month.


    At first, when she hadnded in the state of California, she was so nervous and scared and confused if she had made all the wrong decisions and that there was no turning back anymore even if she wanted to.


    A taxi had been booked for her and it took her to her new address and she was d to have a friendly neighbourhood at least.


    The old woman from next door had weed her with a pie the very next hour after she had entered her new home.


    She ate that pie for dinner, alone on the mini dining table of four. After which she had a brief talk on face time with Madi and Lana.


    She spent the evening, settling in, unpacking her clothes...there were only a few of them.


    She had left all of it in her husband...by now ex''s big house as she wondered. She had asked Madi to return her wedding ring to him when she would also hand him the divorce papers.


    She had left everything behind...a life...a whole life, the only life she ever knew and to start one, a new one she had never dreamt or thought about.


    Never in her life, did she ever think or dream of having a life alone, all by herself either. It had never urred to her. Her life was so nned and disciplined.


    But in the end, it all turned into a mess. A beautiful, sadistic, tragic mess. She loved some of it, regretted some of it.


    But it did not matter anymore as she had been given another chance at life and this time, she was going to make it all about herself.

 Chapter 187 - "Help Me To Get Sober?"

    "Could you ever love me?"


    It kept ringing inside his head, in his ears and it was starting to get on his nerves by then.


    It was her face...trying so hard to not break down and cry her heart out right before him...but she had been stopped by her pride to not see him her weakness...her self respect.


    The intensity of all kinds of emotions that her eyes were reflecting and by the strength of gravity of how much they were pulling him into it...into her.


    The reason why he had been focusing to look at anything but her...her eyes and forget everything to have her back in his arms?


    He could not just forget and let go of everything wrong she had done to him and try to conceal it forever in the past...it was what sickening to him.


    It made him so much angry at her. To show her his rage, show how much he despised people who lied and tried to act innocent.


    For all heaven and hell, she was saved by the fact she was his wife and not to mention...he fancied her, he cared for her as he had never for any woman...yet only at the end, he was rewarded with betrayal and a hole in his healing heart.


    He would be aughing stock if he went on to forget and ept her just as it was...after being the very reason he was an orphan at such a young age.


    After everything, they had gone through together, with the return of his ex and almost thinking of sharing a child with her...and thankfully all of it being false at the same time because he would not know what to do with his wife...his wife, who he was very fond of.


    When he had realized that she had always been there for him at his confession in Valeria''s ce, he was finally ready to start a family with her.


    But his aunt had to reveal a past, that he had chosen to forget after being trapped in it for so long...his entire childhood mourning for his mother, not ready to ept the new life, his aunt had offered to him...to embrace the new life.


    He missed the field, the trees, the birds, flowers, the all-day running and chasing around with her...her red hairs blowing in the wind as she would run to get away from him.


    He missed that carefree life, where he felt the love dancing in the air, the bright sun over the head and the mango tree...he missed her as he would sit on the floor, knees close to his chest.


    When Valeria described it to him, he started getting all the shbacks right in front of his eyes...all of it, how it was...the things, the picture that he had only gotten to see in fragments, in ck and white inside his head.


    He smoked thest bit of the cigarette and then threw it off in the sea. The same sea, he had fucked her, promising them that everything would be better from the next time.


    And it had been over a month, he had no idea how she was, where she was...clearly not wanting to admit the truth that her location kept showing in Anderson Corp. and it kept burning him in the fire of hell, all day and night.


    And he had no right to stop her either or drag her back to his bed and tie her there forever, not letting her go anywhere, everywhere without him...


    His insides had screamed to him that he was her husband and that he had all the right to do so, yet their marriage had felt like been over long ago.


    Hiding from ind to ind, afraid to face the reality. He had purchased over more than ten private inds, wanting to be isted from the very essence of life.


    He had no idea, no knowledge of how to live a life without not being her husband, or having her sleeping next to him...it was all so messier than it ever had been.


    The waves came over and swept all the empty ss bottles of beer off from the shore.


    He had been drinking to his neck, feeding on his failed attempts at life of trying to making it better...fuck!! She had really messed up with his damn head!


    He cursed out, kicking off thest bottle to the sea, out of angry, extreme furry, rage, sadness looming over his entire frame...frustration, not wanting to lose her either.


    Hell!!! He had no idea what he wanted anymore either??


    He wanted her out, far away from his life...but when she was to leave, he would grab her back and trap her in his arms...damnation!!


    It was like that for the whole damnmonth. And Thea dropped in, how he had no idea. He thought or hoped for Madison to show up and bring him his wife.


    Yet it never happened. Thea tried to sober him up at which she failed miserably with no effort to him.


    He should have just lived in that town with her, ying the normal husband, running a small household with her.


    They were happy there, life was just so simple yet his craving for glory...could it be his downfall??


    "You need to get over her...she is not worth it for you to push your newpany to bankruptcy, Kian Randall!"


    Thea yelled at him. She had never seen him so disturbed. Was it the same when Serena had left??


    She questioned herself. She would never know that. She had fled the country, the damn continent before getting a fucking heartbreak and yet when she was back...only to find him with a wife, married to an heiress, not to just anyone but a redhead beautiful one.


    "She is so damn beautiful...fuck I could never score one as gorgeous as her ever..."


    He muttered out as Thea tried to tuck him inside his bed after a long, tiresome struggle of dragging him to his bed-chamber from the dreadful beach.


    "I had her...I had her and everyone just could not control it...fuck, everywhere I go, all of them wanted her...but she was fucking mine!!"


    He kept speaking out his drunkard mind. Thea put his feet under the duvet, taking off his slippers.


    "I do not even know why me?? Why she choose to stay with me?? "


    Heughed out loud, thinking about it. She could for real have anyone as her humble servant, ready to dance on themand of her fucking pinky.


    "Fuck!!! It is eating me up...these thoughts. She is going to put me in a lunatic asylum...fucking seductress!!"


    He spat out. Thea shook her head in dismissal. She had been handling his drunk ass for a week now with no chance of improvement at all.


    "My wife...!!! Fuck my wife!! Leaving under my enemy''s wing for a month...fuck her!! "


    He cursed out, trying to get off from the bed. Thea pulled him back. She was a thin woman, unable to hold him, a man like him, so bulky and muscr.


    "Should I have believed her when she told me she loved me??"


    It made Thea look back at his face. His eyes were half-closed, half-opened as he continued to speak his mind out.


    "If I did, could all have been better?? Could it??"


    He questioned himself, and Thea knew it was her cue to leave this man all to himself and his ''could have'' or ''would have'' spections.


    "Good night!"


    She uttered out as she switched the lights off and left the room, closing the door. She knew that she could not handle him for long anymore.


    "Fucking bitch!!"


    He screamed out, getting up from the bed and limping towards the minibar to get another drink.


    Thea listened to all the swears andmotion from inside, yet she did not attempt to get in and resettle him back on the bed.


    In the dark, he tried to find one bottle that was not empty. And then his phone beeped, scaring him off. All the bottles fell off from the counter as he knocked them off from it.


    "Fucking hell!"


    He cursed out and checked the text from Madi. It was a single word text after a fucking damn month of no contact.


    ''EMERGENCY!''


    It read and immediately his mind took him to be thinking about Tin...did something happen to her??


    His heart started to beat erratically and Thea broke inside the room, afraid that he had fallen off after hearing all the ss breaking sound.


    "Jesus!"


    She swore, on switching the lights on. He was sitting between the ss pieces, with his phone in his hand.


    "Help me to get sober?"


    He requested her, looking up at her horrified face. He needed to get back to his wife finally.

 Chapter 188 - RETURNING THE MAN TO HIS WIFE...

    PRECAP


    I mean...you are rich, got the looks, have a nice family...you can get any girl, marry an heiress simr to you then why the need to donate your family seeds?"


    The doctor finally let out, what she had been wanting to know internally all these times ever since she got the file of Ross Bamford.


    " ''My family seeds!'' That does sound so awkward!"


    ________________________________________________


    A small gasp left her mouth, as the DIVORCE AGREEMENT, in bold, block letters were imprinted upon the paper.


    "It is what you need to start over...cutting all the ties that hold you back for so long!"


    Madimented and even though Lana was not sure that a divorce was the way to go for it...she kept holding hands with Madi, as she advised Tin.


    "I know this all is so much to take in...it had been a month, Tin. He is noting back to you...it is official!"


    ________________________________________________


    Hell!!! He had no idea what he wanted anymore either??


    He wanted her out, far away from his life...but when she was to leave, he would grab her back and trap her in his arms...damnation!!


    ________________________________________________


    "If it gets over another day, her signatures would seem to not add up and renewal would be required...try to get ahold of him as sooner as you could, Ms Maria."


    Thewyer had concluded, giving her an end notice of filing the divorce agreement in the court within the deadline.


    Lana finally came downstairs, with her coffee after thewyer had left to sit beside her girlfriend.


    Madison had been so busy handling her newfound position in thepany, with a motive to end this hell of a marriage that was squeezing Tin''s throat and helping her get settled in the new city.


    "You seem so hell-bent on ending them!"


    Lanamented, softly sipping her coffee and that made Madison to look up at her.


    "There is no ''them'' anymore. He chose that. She did her best to try and make it work...it is the ending now!"


    Madi replied, being stern over her decision. She knew that Lana, even though being with her, was not in full support of the entire divorce thing.


    Lana could not just see how the story of two lovers wasing to an end. It was very hard to see them breaking apart when she had heard them and saw them in love.


    She had heard Tin''s confession about how much she loved him, more than life itself than howe, she was going to live now, picking up all her broken pieces, licking her own wounds to heal.


    She had been there, she had lived a phrase like that in heartbreak and despair, being away from Madi. It was hell to put it in simple.


    "They did love each other though!"


    Madi reverted her eyes back on Lana, who uttered that out, absentmindedly. She knew what Lana was feeling but getting emotional and sensitive in matters like these were only signs of being weak and vulnerable.


    "Only she did...he never got over his pathetic past!"


    "But how could you know that Madi...some people have a weird way of showing their love...he is protective over her, pushing her away but could never let go...what do you pinpoint that as?? "


    Lana argued, putting the mug back on the table. She for sure could not im if he was in love...he did feel something closer to love, something simr for Tinsley.


    "They are over! That''s what it is!"


    Madison concluded, picking up her phone, knowing exactly how to get ahold of that bastard.


    "You do not get to decide that, Madison!"


    Lana pressed, standing up, "You do not get to determine when it''s over for them?"


    "Well, I did not, Tinsley knew that it is over...her signatures are on this paper and she had left this city for good... it''s the end, Lana!"


    Madison answered back and sent away the text with a monotone ''EMERGENCY!'', hoping that would bring the predator to the jungle back.


    Lana did not bother to talk anymore as she just walked away from the scene where the plot of how to end a love story was going on.


    Madison sighed, closing her eyes wondering how she had entered to a point of life that she was at present.


    "But how could you know that Madi...some people have a weird way of showing their love...he is protective over her, pushing her away but could never let go...what do you pinpoint that as?? "


    Lana''s words rang in her head. It was the same as what she felt for him...the moments they had spent together...when she eyes Lana, she felt like it had never happened and when he was near her, she could regret none of it.


    What she had been feeling...what was going on inside her??


    She was trying to pinpoint that out too. Day and night, she was drowning in the guilt of betraying her beloved yet having the urge to jump back into his arms.


    What did he feel?? What was going in his head??


    She had no idea either. After setting the fire and letting their bodies burn into it, the contentment in silence was so soothing that both of them would not try to break it...and make it worst than it could ever get.


    Coughing, vomiting out all the content from his insides, he was finally sober. He could still feel the smell of vomit in himself. Yet he did not care, he needed to get to his wife.


    Thea helped him, asking her secretary to get the helicopter ready that she hade in here.


    Thea was feeling...ahhh, God what and how could she know??


    She was bringing the man, she had desired for so long back to his home, the home where he had his wife, a wife that loved him.


    And there was a possibility, she would not let it consume her but she knew...that he did too...a little if not big!

 Chapter 189 - "WHERE THE FUCK IS MY WIFE?"

    PRECAP


    "But how could you know that Madi...some people have a weird way of showing their love...he is protective over her, pushing her away but could never let go...what do you pinpoint that as?? "


    Lana argued, putting the mug back on the table. She for sure could not im if he was in love...he did feel something closer to love, something simr for Tinsley.


    "They are over! That''s what it is!"


    ________________________________________________


    The entire journey, they both did not utter one single word. The silence seemed more soothing than anything else at the moment.


    So many thoughts were clouding his mind. So many ''might be'' too dancing in his mind what and how could she be??


    As the helicopternded in Richmond. The cars were already waiting for them parked at the private airport.


    Thea did not bother bidding him a farewell or anything as he did not turn to look back at her even once.


    He strode straight towards his ride after he got off the helicopter. His driver, Jake nodded at him, opening his side of the door and Kian got in.


    Thea kept staring as his car sped away out of the airport. She sighed in disappointment and extreme disapproval of how her trip to take care of him and sliding inside his impression were all wasted.


    Kian checked his phone back on the road and still found his wife''s location in the Anderson Corp. and he wanted to throw up right away.


    He could only think what the fuck, she was doing, staying in with that bastard for a damn month??


    "Drive to Anderson Corp.!"


    Hemanded his driver and the direction was changed right away. He was going to drag her from there and back to him.


    After all, whatever had happened or what she had done, it did not matter because she was his wife and she would always belong to him.


    "Yes, right away, Sir!"


    Jake replied, turning the steering wheel to the opposite road, heading to the Anderson Tower.


    Kian took a deep breath, hoping that she at least kept her virtue in and did not cheat on him.


    He trusted her to be loyal to him in that department but he did not trust that bastard, Nathan, who clearly showed his intention of getting in his wife''s pants.


    He would kill that bastard, snatch his soul out from his body if he dared even to touch his wife''s fucking even a single strand of her beautiful red hairs.


    As the ck Mercedes parked around the Anderson Tower. All the people, workers in the lobby and the receptionist in the front deck were in awe to see such a fine specimen of man, entering their tower.


    When Kian finally got out and strode inside, they all knew who he was and the whispers and gossips started right away.


    Jake walked up to the receptionist and asked if their boss, Nathan was in his office?


    It only took for the receptionist to nod her head in a yes and Kian walked away to the elevator. Jake followed him. The receptionist shouted the floor number where their boss''s office was in.


    They all knew that something was up for another lion to be entering in another''s den...and all they could do was wonder what the matter was up!


    As the elevator dinged open on the tenth floor, Kian did not wait for the on-floor receptionist to get in with him, she tried to stop him but Jake held her back.


    And Nathan was a bit taken aback to see Kian Randall out of nowhere in the very morning.


    "What a surprise!?"


    "Stop with the bullshit!! Where the fuck is my wife??"


    Kian spat, interrupting Nathan. He did not understand one thing. Kian was running out of patience.


    "What?? How would I know where is your wife...I mean Tinsley?"


    Nathan questioned him back. It also got him a bit worried because thest encounter he had with Tinsley, she was not in the good condition, butpletely shaken from the almost ident.


    "Common, Anderson! Drop the fucking nonsense and tell me where is my wife??"


    Kian asked one more time, controlling himself from punching the answer out of that bastard.


    "I seriously have no idea...thest time I saw her was a month ago, I suppose?"


    Nathan honestly replied as he recalled the ident that happened in front of his office building.


    Kian could remember the day when she was driven home by his car when he had returned from the hospital.


    "You better be not lying?"


    "Why would I be lying?"


    Nathan retorted back. What would he gain from keeping a married woman hostage??...clearly when she was never going to look at him the way he did to her...


    Kian shoved his phone on Nathan''s hand, making him look at the location of his wife''s still pointing at his tower.


    And it solved the puzzle. Tinsley had forgotten her phone in his phone that day. He had tried to get ahold of her but could not and he knew that he was not allowed in Randall''s mansion.


    He turned around and picked her phone from inside of his drawer and handed it to Kian.


    "She had forgotten her cell here the day where she almost had an ident, right in the front of my office and the police were involved...hopefully no one was injured...I took care of everything and bought her here for a ss of water...she must have forgotten it in the haste of wanting to leave so quickly..."


    Nathan exined it to Kian and when he heard the part where she almost got into an ident...the one where police were involved??


    Why did he not know about this?? Why the fuck did she never tell him that??


    "I asked my driver to drop her home...that was thest I ever saw her, a month ago from today. I tried to get ahold of her to return her cell phone but well, she went MIA on me!"


    Nathan concluded. And it was in this moment, everything settled back on the puzzle.


    She could not tell him or did not get the chance to tell him because he had interrupted her rudely and left for his aunt''s.

 Chapter 190 - END THIS JOKE OF A MARRIAGE!

    "I asked my driver to drop her home...that was thest I ever saw her, a month ago from today. I tried to get ahold of her to return her cell phone but well, she went MIA on me!"


    Nathan concluded. And it was in this moment, everything settled back on the puzzle.


    She could not tell him or did not get the chance to tell him because he had interrupted her rudely and left for his aunt''s.


    So for so long, she had not bothered to even get her mobile phone back??


    It only made Kian more worried about her. What might have had happened to her??


    He had wasted a whole month thinking she was residing in here, burning in the fire of jealousy.


    When in reality, she was somewhere else. Now he was certain that she had to be residing with Madison because she had nowhere else to go.


    Without wasting anymore of time, he just turned back and strode out of Nathan''s office.


    It only made Nathan wonder what had exactly happened?? He was more than just curious...but worried too for Tinsley.


    Because he knew that Kian was a big jerk and an asshole who would go all rough when things did not go the way he wanted.


    And he knew how Tinsley was by nature...soft and tolerating rather than protesting and standing up for herself.


    Kian was on his way to Madison''s house and he was hoping that his wife was there for he would go crazy if she was not.


    In a few minutes drive, he reached Madison''s house. It had been more than a few months since hest visited here.


    And it was during the time, the morning when the night before, he had asked his wife to leave his house in the middle of the night after that very first lie he caught her in.


    Getting out of the car, he could still see her sad face, standing by the gate as he walked away after rudely asking her to stop bothering him.


    He stepped up the three stairs and before he could knock at the door, it hung open, revealing Madi on the other side.


    "Look who decided to show up?"


    Madi mocked and closed the door behind her, getting out to talk with him. She did not want her old grandmother to be hearing things.


    After Tinsley had left for San Francisco, she was not well anymore. All she ever wanted was to go with her and get her settled in the new city but it was not possible anymore as she had gotten too old.


    "Call my wife out, we are going home!"


    Kian''s statement was simple and to the point. He knew that Madison did not like him anymore ever since that incident where she tried to make him forgive Tinsley but he ended up insulting her about with John.


    "Your wife?? Do you even have one?"


    Madi retorted back with a sass. Kian only rolled his eyes, getting annoyed by this childish and immature tactic of holding him back and making him wait for more.


    "Common, Madi...I m in no mood to y or beat around the bush...Tinsley??? Tinsley??? Get out here!!"


    He started calling out for his wife and Madison did not stop him because he could shout her name, all he wanted but she was never going to hear him ise out for him either.


    "Where is she??"


    He asked her when he did not get any reply from the other side. Madi only made him wait for more, standing before him with arms crossed against her chest.


    "Where the fuck us, my wife, Madison??"


    Kian pressed. Madison only shrugged it off as if she was least bothered and Kian was sure...hell he was confident there was no way, Madi did not know where Tin was.


    "I know you do know where she is...so be out with it already and do not waste anymore of yours and mine time!"


    To that, Madison could not help theugh that had erupted out from her gut.


    Time?? He was talking about time? Abandoning the wife...who had waited for him for a whole damn month...?? And he was talking about time!


    "Now you want your wife after a fucking month of ignorance?"


    Kian closed his eyes, not liking how dragging this conversation was getting. All he wanted was to take his wife with him and go back home and he would figure out the next in future.


    "Why do you care?? Just hand her over to me!"


    "She is a human being, not your fucktoy that you want it back because you missed her on your bed!"


    Madi spat and Kian roared out her name, not liking how she was addressing everything.


    "Am I not speaking the truth though?? You never saw her anything more than the hole, you fucked!"


    Madi got aggressive and Kian somehow controlled himself from bursting out at her. He really did not want to create a scene before the entire neighbourhood.


    "Have some filter!"


    Kian retorted back and Madi raised her eyebrows at him. She shoved the divorce papers towards him.


    He red at her and unfolded the papers to see what they were about and his eyes widened to its an octet, seeing what they were.


    "I do not know where your slut is..."


    "Fucking stop calling her like that!"


    Kian interrupted Madi, losing hisposure. How dare she call his wife a fucking slut??


    "She was your slut though...was not she?? "


    Kian closed his eyes, knowing that Madi was not going to step down. She was one stubborn woman.


    "Well, as I was saying, she chose to resign from the post and handed me these papers to give you...her lord whenever he happened to cross the path...so sign it and end this joke of a marriage!"


    "Hell no!!! Where the fuck is my wife??"


    Kian answered, tearing off the divorce papers. He was never going to divorce her even when she wanted to...there was no escaping of this marriage!

 Chapter 191 - "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ?"

    "Well, as I was saying, she chose to resign from the post and handed me these papers to give you...her lord whenever he happened to cross the path...so sign it and end this joke of a marriage!"


    "Hell no!!! Where the fuck is my wife??"


    Kian answered, tearing off the divorce papers. He was never going to divorce her even when she wanted to...there was no escaping of this marriage!


    Madison did not stutter when she saw him tearing the divorce papers into pieces.


    She had expected him to react the way he did and that was the reason why she had asked Tin to sign in multiple copies of it to be on the safe side.


    She had vowed to keep her away from him and she was going to abide by that throughout.


    She flipped another copy of the paper on his way and he tore that away in seconds too.


    "Stop with this nonsense, Madison! Just tell me where she is and we both would not have to carry this on."


    "As I had told many times, I do not know where she is. I m just delivering what she had left behind."


    Madison answered very calmly. On her face, there was no hint of anger ness or being irritated by the entire ordeal when she was very much annoyed to be standing in front of him...that bastard!


    Kian knew that she was not going to tell him even in the hardest of the situation. And he was running out of his patience.


    He rubbed his nose and then before she could stop him, he walked past her, heading towards her home.


    Madison yelled his name back but he did not stop and stormed inside. Lana who was watching the scene from the window ran up to the front door.


    Kian did not spare one eye at her and looked around. The living room and the attached dining hall, it was empty.


    "You can''t just get inside unweed!"


    Madison angrily shouted but kept her voice down, knowing her old grandmother was resting.


    "Tinsley??? Tinsley?? Come out...I m here to take you back home!!"


    He called out, loudly, looking around. Madison urged him to keep his voice down.


    "Can you not shout, my nana is sleeping!!"


    Madison whispered, yelled. She so wanted to kick his arse off of her house and property itself but did not want to create a scene either.


    "She is not here...as I fucking told you!!"


    But Kian did not spare his ears to her and stepped inside the kitchen, opening the door of the bathroom in the living room.


    Madi followed him around too, stating how she was telling him that she was not here. But he was not listening to any one of her words.


    Lana stood ideal on her spot in the living room, seeing them walk around the house like a bunch of crazy people.


    Kian finally came around the room where the door was closed and he was about to break in but the door hung open and in came out, Anna Maria.


    Madison closed her eye in disappointment for waking up her nana when the old woman had hardly slept after everything that had happened ever since they had made Tin leave for San Francisco.


    Anna Maria eyed Kian from head to toe. There was an awful silence as nobody knew what to talk about or what not to.


    "I m here for my wife. I m here to take her back home."


    Kian stated, very respectfully and simply. Anna Maria got out of the room, letting him into check her room out.


    Kian got in and looked around the room. It was an average room with a bed and cupboards to the side, three cabs and a vanity.


    His eyes fell upon the bracelet resting on the vanity. He picked it up and knew that it was his wife''s.


    At least, he knew that she was here if not now. At least she was safe. He smelled the bracelet. She wore that often because of the simplicity and how beautiful it looked even when it was just a in bracelet.


    "She is not here anymore!"


    Anna Maria said when he came out of her room. He nodded, not having any more to say as he slipped the bracelet back inside his pants pocket. Madison noticed that.


    Not saying anything anymore, he turned around to leave but halted on his step when he heard the old woman.


    "A marriage is a bond of two people. If one backs away, another cannot hold it for too long."


    Anna Maria let out and Kian sighed but did not dare to turn back and confront the old woman. He walked out and Madison followed him out.


    "Thanks to you for waking up my nana and creating a fucking mess!"


    Kian turned back and stood close to hers. Madison did not flinch back either, neither tore her eyes from off of his.


    "I know that you are hiding her...and it''s not good for you to keep my wife away from me!"


    Kian threatened. Madison folded her arms against her chest and did not step aside, afraid of his threatening.


    "Oh yeah? What are you going to do??"


    Kian eyed Lana who was still watching them from the window. Madison followed his eyes and he smirked.


    "You know what I can do or capable of doing it, Madison Maria. You of all the people should know the lengths I could go if I m being denied..."


    Kian spat out and Madison, although a bit scared by the fact that he knew about her affair with John.


    She was going to tell Lana, everything about it but she had not mastered to dare yet and needed more time but if Kian went ahead and told Lana first...then everything was going to be destroyed...ruined.


    "You would not do that!"


    "Watch me if you do not hand me wife back to me!"

 Chapter 192 - HELPLESS, RESTLESS AND POWERLESS!

    "You know what I can do or capable of doing it, Madison Maria. You of all the people should know the lengths I could go if I m being denied..."


    Kian spat out and Madison, although a bit scared by the fact that he knew about her affair with John.


    "You would not do that!"


    Madison screeched and Kian chuckled. Totally getting to know that how much she was affected by it.


    "Watch me if you do not hand my wife back to me!"


    He remarked, pulling his sunsses out and wearing them, stepping upon on the torn divorce papers on the ground, he walked away.


    Madison was breathing very high, her face was red and she was boiling in anger for this man.


    She could now only wonder howe she had mistaken him to be a nice, introverted man. She could only wonder how Tinsley had born him for so long.


    "You fucking bastard!"


    She cursed him out as his Audi drove away, knocking away the dustbin can. She ran up and kicked the bin away, letting out all the litter everywhere.


    Back on the road, Kian could not get off of his eyes over her signature imprinted on the Divorce Agreement.


    He rubbed his eyes off, trying to get off from having the shback in his mind and then there were these words from the old woman, repeatedly ring out inside him.


    As he reached his home, the dreaded, forlorn mansion. The gardeners were streaming the nts.


    He looked away from there as he could see her, strolling around. He hopped inside and the maid, Alice greeted him.


    He headed straight up the stairs and got inside their bedroom and it was neat as if no one had been residing in it for more than a month.


    He stepped inside the closet, her walk-in closet. They both had separate closets and when he opened the door, everything was intact.


    All her clothes, most of them, all branded, all her dresses, skirts, shirts, underwear, lingerie, everything was still in.


    He opened up all the drawers and saw all her jewellery, the one he gifted her during their fundraising event, it was there too.


    A few clothes that she wore them when staying back in the town, were missing and it was then he could say that she had been here to take those before going off wherever she had gone.


    He strode inside the bathroom and opened up every cab and drawer, checking if her toiletry items were still inside.


    Her toothbrush and a few of her items were missing. And it was clear, that she had dropped by here before going away.


    He sighed, feeling defeated for not being here when she was here to be able to stop her from leaving him like this.


    idently, his hand knocked off the small bin and it fell off on the tiled floor, spilling all the contents from inside of it.


    "Fuck!"


    Kian cursed as he kneeled down to get it up but then his eyesnded upon the pregnancy test kit.


    And there and there, his heart started beating very fast. He remembered what she had told him the other day.


    He picked the test stick up and flipped it over to see the plus sign on it and the stick fell over from his hand.


    It was positive. He was astonished by the fact that there was a possibility, that what she was telling him that morning could have been true.


    He stormed out of his room and headed to the other end of the house to his office. Alice watched him roam around the house like a madman.


    He opened his office and sat down to check his surveince camera footage. T


    He had a secret camera in their bedroom to be on the safe side.


    He tapped on the footage dated to his arrival back from Asia, the night when he left with Serena.


    His eyes stared on theputer screen in anticipation of what might happen the next second.


    She was walking back and forth, checking the watch, hanging on the wall from minute to minute.


    She looked so dejected and sad about the fact that her husband had left her for another woman.


    And for an hour or two, or had been just her, walking to and fro, checking the clock and the very next hour, she touched her belly and sat down on the bed.


    He was on the edge of the seat as he saw her struggling with the cramps, hands-on her t abdomen asher facial expression transformed into a painful one.


    She tried to get her hands on her phone from the nightstand and it fell off, trying it get it, she too fell down on her butt.


    "Fuck!!"


    He yelled out as he saw her letting out a cry of pain and despite that, she crawled in and dialled his number.


    He was going crazy at that moment as she kept trying his call and he looked at his phone, resting on his table, beside him...he threw it, crashing on the wall and breaking into pieces.


    She tried to take a deep breath, tears draining out of her eyes and his palms turned into a fist when he saw the blooding out from her.


    She looked horrified and stood up, walking towards the bathroom. For half an hour, she did note out and he was on his knees...watching the clip where his wife had lost their second child...not being able to do a damn thing.


    When she came out of the bathroom, he could see that she had lost something inside of her, deep within.


    And the next morning, if he put the pieces together, she ran into an ident as Nathan told and so was dropped by his driver back home.


    And he was not very proud of the way he treated her afterwards. He called out to the Maternity Hospital in that road from the telephone to confirm onest thing.

 Chapter 193 - HE WAS HOPING FOR HER TO BE THERE...

    PRECAP


    "You know what I can do or capable of doing it, Madison Maria. You of all the people should know the lengths I could go if I m being denied..."


    Kian spat out and Madison, although a bit scared by the fact that he knew about her affair with John.


    "You would not do that!"


    Madison screeched and Kian chuckled. Totally getting to know that how much she was affected by it.


    "Watch me if you do not hand my wife back to me!"


    ________________________________________________


    "Yes, Mr Randall. Your wife had checked out on September 2nd, Monday morning."


    The receptionist let out, the information and also would send him a report of her health and miscarriageter in the afternoon.


    It was a mess in the study room by then. He was sitting in between the mess that he had created by himself.


    Alice was scared to her shit as she saw and heard the voices, the noisesing from the study.


    She did not dare to break in and check up on her master. She did not want to die just yet.


    When the hospital dropped by with the reports, she very fearfully, slid the envelope through the crease of the door.


    He saw it and crawled towards it,picking the file up and opening it and the words he read, were all going over his head.


    "Anxiety" "Tension" "Fragile State"


    And what, not medical terms as he tried to understand all of them. She was only six weeks in.


    ________________________________________________


    "Please!!! I beg you to stop!!"


    Kian was taken aback by her sudden breakdown as she started to sob and wail out those words.


    "I can''t...I really can''t!!!"


    Tinsley held onto her chest as if her heart was paining and let the tears flow freely out of her eyes without care.


    "What is it?"


    Kian implored, knowing something was wrong. He needed to know what was wrong without her creating such a nuisance.


    I...I was preg..."


    "You were what??"


    Kian interrupted her midway. He strode towards her and held onto her arms, straightening her up.


    "You were what?? Fucking tell me, goddammit!!"


    Kian shook her body and she muffled her sobs with her hands trying to speak it out to him. That was not how she had pictured to tell him.


    "I...I was pregnant!"


    ________________________________________________


    He could see it...every scene unfolding before his eyes, the way he had reacted...each word...the unkind, hurtful word he fired in her direction.


    He had left right away after that, disbelieving her. Not wanting to let it in. He had...he just did not want to hear it again.


    He let out a big scream and tore the hospital file. He got out of the study and Alice ran up to the corner, pretending as if she heard nothing.


    He got down the stairs and picked his keys up, driving away. He needed to know where she was.


    He could not let go her like that...not after what had happened. He wished...he really wished that he had believed her and stayed put with her instead of letting her deal with everything on her own.


    He applied brakes before Madison''s house once again. And Madi saw it so she took the lead to get out and confront him outside before he got inside once again and disturb the old woman.


    He got out of the Audi and walled up to Madi. He was ready to beg and get down on his knees for her to tell him where Tinsley was.


    "Madison, please...I beg you, I m fucking beg you, tell me where she is...please!!! Please!!! I can''t let her out there all by herself...not after what she had been through....please..."


    He started right away. He looked like shit as Madison peeked at him from head to toe.


    "Please...Madi! Do me a favour, just this onest time...please!!"


    Madison did not budge and remained to stand on her spot, not flinching one bit, watching him miserable as he had ever been.


    "We lost another child...and I did not...did not believe her..."


    He finally let out. And a tear spurted out of his eyes as he recalled her state in the camera footage.


    Madison remembered exactly what had happened. Another part of Tinsley had died that day.


    It was bound to happen but having her husband''s support was the only thing she had wanted that time to ovee this dark phrase which he denied her of...letting her burn in the hellish fire all by herself.


    "I can''t...I can''t let her be out there all alone in a condition like this...please!"


    He rubbed the waterworks away from his eyes. Madison closed her eyes to clear off of her vision which had gotten blurry from remembering how she had cried in her shoulder.


    "It had been a month ago...she is long fine, Kian Randall. She does not need your support anymore...she is fine, way better to be out of your reach!"


    Madison replied. And Kian was feeling helpless with the restlessness of wanting to see his wife right away but at the same time, being annoyed by how much stubborn Madi was acting.


    Madi could see that his patience was running off. He was never the patient type of person. Anger sat on the tip of his nose.


    "You won''t ever tell me, will you?"


    He questioned, finally giving up. Madison did not respond to that and just stood, unmoving.


    He got his answer and walked back towards his Audi. He got inside of it and drove away without saying another word anymore.


    He did not know where he was driving but he found his way back to the town where their marriage looked perfect.


    The building, the apartment where they had lived like the husband and wife. He broke inside and found the space totally empty.


    Roaming around the small apartment, with no soul walking beside him. He sat down on the floor, tired.


    He was hoping, she would be here...

 Chapter 194 - WERE THEY REAL OR JUST IN HER HEAD?

    "That would be $12.80!"


    The cashier slid the receipt to her, packing her weekly minimal grocery. Tinsley paid the money and got out of the general store.


    She walked up to the bus stand and waited for the bus to appear in about five minutes timing along with other people.


    At first, it was weird how she had to wait with everyone. Madi and Lana had offered to buy her a second-hand car but she declined.


    She could not take advantage of their help just like that because they were offering nonstop.


    She wanted to start living up for herself, be independent and earn her own living.


    It was hard to start earning, looking for a job in a brand-new city where nobody knew you enough to let you in for a job.


    After a week-long of not having any job, she had finallynded one in a baking shop.


    They only let her in the packaging department because their baking area was full.


    She was a beggar with not many choices she could make so she took what she got. With the moneynded by Madi, she had managed to pass the monthly expenditure in San Francisco.


    And as one month turned to two and three, she had eased her way into the baking area and started designing the icing of every cake and cupcake, doing overtime at weekends.


    It made her have enough money to start buying her first canvas and paints, paintbrushes to start painting once again.


    The oldst next door liked her art and bought one of her paintings for dor fifteen.


    She took whatever she got. Her days were packed. Shended another job in a dinner,te-night shift.


    The sry in the dinner allowed her to start paying a small rent by the end of the month to Lana, even when she declined it several times, but Tinsley insisted.


    She wanted to feel like living by herself in the true sense. She did not want to be a charity case anymore.


    Whatever free timing she got, she used it up for painting andtely, had been heading to the city centre by bus and try to sell some of it, disying in the city corner, like most of the local artist.


    With three straight days of disappointment, nobody even sparing one eye at her paintings, she felt so dejected and a sense of failure crept in her heart.


    Painting...she had learnt it from her mother, who had borrowed it from her mother, grandmother, Cecily...she had no idea if the old woman was still alive.


    But after the fourth day, when one passerby bought her small painting, a girl painted in allvish pink, staring up at the sky.


    It was her...she was in that painting. She was always dressed invish pink, she had everything from diamond to Gi...yet there was always an urge to touch the sky...the freedom, the kind she never had.


    Now two or three paintings being sold became regr. It was not much because she sold them all cheap, afraid that none would be sold if she raised her price up.


    The money she got, she used it up for buying the painting materials for another time.


    Life was going on like the smooth surface of the river, water flowing in the direction of the flow...no cry of objection. It was natural.


    Her day would start exactly at nine in the baking shop and it would not end until five in the evening.


    The lunch break of one hour which she would get, she spent it working away or sometimes,ing out to eat the apple she had bought from home.


    She was saving up money for what cause she had no idea of yet. She was just saving up, wasting very little.


    Eating the apple in her hand, she would walk around the footpath, seeing so many people ranging from women and men on business too, a lovely couple strolling around being silly...


    It was these sights that would pierce her heart so deep, reminding her of her failed marriage and a shot at lifelong love.


    She would not lie if she did not think about him. She did...hell, all the time. The first two months were the hardest...living alone was a dead cause.


    Sleeping all by herself on the bed, with his naked body not ying beside her to give her warmth...she had stopped sleeping on the bed and would roam around the studio like a ghost in the night...painting her feelings on the white canvas and ending up dozing off on the floor.


    The more difficult it got when she woulde to watch him on tv, in the news, or on the front page of the business magazine or his face on the billboard in the city centre.


    He had gone up not down at all, one bit. Recently he had stepped into the line of being another billionaire for the states.


    His brand was going global even to the countries of the third world. He had only grown to be more sessful than he had ever before.


    And sometimes, in the middle of the nights, when she would wonder if he was miserable just like her...or thought about her one bit like she did, even for a second...his sess story made her think otherwise.


    If he wanted, he would have found her...would not he??


    If he wanted her back, he would havee back for her...would not he??


    If he loved her, he would have never let her go...would not he??


    But did he even ever love her...or at least feel anything for her??


    She wondered and thought of where did she ever saw or smelt love in him for her?


    And there would be so many scenes that woulde to her head where she indeed felt love and showered in it from him.


    But were they real or just in her head??

 Chapter 195 - TO STUDY IN A COLLEGE?

    "So how is everything?"


    "Everything is fine! We are thinking to paint the house blue for theing Christmas."


    Madison said, sipping the champagne, sitting on the armchair, face timing with Tinsley.


    "That would look great!"


    Tinsley replied, sitting on the carpet, neatly ced over the floor, resting the phone upon a wooden table.


    "You do know that we could just stop by if you want?? "


    Madi offered. It was something both Lana and her were thinking of. And even Anna Maria was too eager to see her.


    "Hmmm...Nah! I m fine here!"


    Tinsley did not want that...she did not want to be anymore bother to them anymore.


    "Nobody wants to be alone in the holidays."


    Madi raised her eyebrows. But Tinsley shook her head in a big no. She told her that she would be working in the diner and the bakery shop for some extra cash anyways.


    After the call was over, Tin stood up and decided to get ready for her shift in the diner. It always started past eight in the evening.


    She put on her socks as it was freezing cold outside and a beanie. She got out, not before locking the door.


    "I m out, Jessica!"


    She yelled. It was to let know the old sweetdy that she was off to work and a hint to look after.


    Lately, there had been a lot of burry incidents around the area. The police were working to catch the burr but no good news so far.


    The diner was not so far, she always walked her way to it. The air was chilly and frozen.


    At the diner, she roamed around serving the orders to their designated tables. The bartender at the corner winked at her, she smiled back at him.


    Being here for four months, she had not made too many friends yet, there were free in her working ce, she had made acquaintance with.


    Theo, the bartender, he was only twenty, younger than her, but she could tell that he fancied her.


    That chef, in the kitchen, a divorced, forty year old, he had already asked her out and she had declined to say she was still not over her marriage...the divorce was in the process.


    Yet she had not mustered up the courage to ask Madi about how long more it would take for the divorce thing to be over.


    If or not he had signed?? How did he react to seeing her signatures over on the paper??


    Did he seem relieved now that he was finally getting rid of her or at least a little bit sad for parting ways from her??


    Aghhh!!! The endless train of ''if'' or ''did'' always took up her time on breaks.


    A few women, and girls too, she had made friends with from the diner and bakery...yet it was not to the level where she could reveal to them who she really was.


    Sometimes, she felt insecure that people would recognize her...who she used to be and judge her situation.


    And that always stopped her from spending more than required time with people, avoiding going out with them or hanging out too much.


    She just did not want anyone to know who she used to be, who''s daughter or who''s wife...not for long though...


    "So Tinsley, what are your ns for the holidays??"


    Kyle asked, leaning onto the bar. Tin smiled at him. She could not be rude to him for having a crush on her. She used to be as silly as him some time ago in the past and yet could not get over...after everything that had happened.


    "Working!"


    She answered. He was not really expecting that and raised his eyebrows at her to confirm if or not she was kidding.


    "Why?? Don''t you have a family?? Friends??"


    "I just need to earn more, Kyle and holidays are the best to get extra tips!"


    She interrupted him and he nodded, agreeing about the extra tip. Another couple checked in and she excused herself to take their orders.


    Everyone had been asking about her holiday''s ns and she had been telling them the same thing she told Kyle.


    A quarter of them was staying aback just like her to work and earn extra, only a few were going back home for the holiday.


    She had never been alone in a holiday session and this would be her first one. She just wanted to feel how it would feel like to be lonely, andpletely alone with her ownpany.


    As the diner closed down, she cleaned thest table and got ready to leave. Kyle offered to walk her by.


    She did not know how to politely decline him for the nth time and so she let him in. She did not want to seem like a stuck up bitch.


    They both silently walked along. The street was almost empty. Cars were going to and fro on the main road. It was the alley that was always forlorn.


    "I heard you are in college!"


    Tinsley started the conversation, not liking the silence.She always hated it and that was the reason why she would always make the music y in her studio house to not feel the silence creeping up in her.


    "Yes! I work per time here. Saving some money you know. Tuition fees are very costly."


    Kyle replied. He was almost over with his college degree and Tin only could wonder how it was like to be studying in a college.


    She never got the chance to get in one. Even when her parents could have afforded her an ivy league school like Harvard or Oxford, or Yale, she was not deemed fit to get into a college.


    She thought if she was given an education then, she would not have to work in a diner or a bakery to earn her livelihood.


    "So how is it like to study in a college??"


    She asked, wondering if it were the same as how the books and movies described.

 Chapter 196 - NOBODY TO CALL HERS...

    "I heard you are in college!"


    Tinsley started the conversation, not liking the silence.


    Yes! I work per time here. Saving some money you know. Tuition fees are very costly."


    Kyle replied. He was almost over with his college degree and Tin only could wonder how it was like to be studying in a college.


    "So how is it like to study in a college??"


    She asked, wondering if it were the same as how the books and movies described.


    "You never went in one??"


    Kyle implored. He had never known anything about her enough. All he knew was that she was new to the city and lived somewhere near the diner.


    She painted and sold some of it at weekends in the city centre. He saw her there, standing with her paintings.


    He had not dared to approach her then because he was with his college friends and they had been teasing him for having a crush on a married redhead woman from his workce.


    Tin shook her head in a big no. She was not ashamed to state the truth that she had not.


    "You still could enrol in one, you know...you are still young."


    Kyle offered and there was a possibility...a void in her heart where she indeed wanted to go to a college and study but the situations at present were not so adaptable for that idea.


    "It''s costly to get in one!"


    "You could apply for a schrship or take a student loan?"


    Kyle suggested and neither of the options seemed too possible for her. She was not intelligent enough tond a schrship or had enough money to get a student loan and repay itter.


    "Neither of it seems to be visible for me at present."


    "Well, you know four years of college, you could literally put it to be wastage of a bunch of money which you could have used somewhere else."


    He said and it made sense a bit but yet Tinsley could note to ept that four years of a college education could be a wastage of money.


    It empowered the individual and not having one college degree herself, she could tell how much important it was to have one unlike for entrepreneurs.


    They took a turn and she was almost there. She turned around to bid farewell to Kyle but then when her eyesnded on the broken lock...she was shocked.


    "Fuck!! It must have been the burr!"


    Kyle stated and they both got inside. Her house was a mess. The money that she had saved for this month''s rent underneath her mattress was gone.


    She was at least d about one fact that ever since the burry news, she had been carrying her savings around with her which was as risky as getting robbed at the street.


    No wonder why she took upon Kyle''s offer to walk her by. The rest of the things were untouched. Her paintings were scattered and some were even ruined.


    "You okay?"


    He asked her when she came out of the bedroom. She nodded her head, not having much to say.


    "I have called 911 ok...stay put!"


    He said and she just stared around the condition, the mess her house was in. When she had left, it was neat and cleaned.


    Kyle could see that she was shaken by the incident and so he came forward, standing on the partition of the living room and the kitchen.


    "Hey?? Everything is fine! I m here!"


    He consoled her, touching her shoulder, trying to get her back to her senses. And all of a sudden, she just threw herself onto his arms, trying to hideaway.


    He hugged her back, running his hand over her back, trying to calm her down. She eased into the hug...oh how long had it been going without a hug!


    The next day, Madi calleding to know about the entire burry incident. They were d that it had happened when she was at work.


    Tinsley apologised to Lana for not being able to pay this month''s rent and Lana only asked her to be safer and that she did not give two fucks about that money.


    The old woman, Jessica, dropped by, apologising for not knowing about the burry when it had happened.


    She had fallen asleep long ago before it actually happened. Tin understood that the olddy slept earlier before nine in the evening. She could never me her.


    They talked over a cup of tea. Tinsley took her first day off from work for the past four months about to get in five.


    "It really must feel so lonely to be all by yourself!"


    Jessica remarked, sipping on her cup of tea. Tin had nothing to say. Most of the time, her mind would be so upied to even feel the loneliness.


    "Number one remedy for not ending up alone is always to have a child of your own..."


    And it made Tin choke on her tea. She had never thought the conversation would take a turn into this.


    "I have made that mistake, of not having it in the right age and look at me...almost sixty without anyone to call mine..."


    Jessica recalled her days...those youthful ones where she did not even once think that she would someday end up alone like this, juggling between work and life.


    "People would say that it''s not necessary but it is not really true, you feel it when you are single, with no one to mourn your near-death...you have not left anyone in this earth to call yours...life bes an utter failure."


    The old woman shed a few tears and Tin came forward to pull her in for a hug and tell her that she would be there for her.


    Jessica rubbed her tears away and excused herself for crying over her miserable life.


    Later, in the evening when steadying her house all alone, those words kept hitting her mind.


    She looked around and finally, she felt it...how lonely she was. She had nobody to call hers either.

 Chapter 197 - HOW AND WHEN?

    "What is it?"


    Kian implored, knowing something was wrong. He needed to know what was wrong without her creating such a nuisance.


    I...I was preg..."


    "You were what??"


    Kian interrupted her midway. He strode towards her and held onto her arms, straightening her up.


    "You were what?? Fucking tell me, goddammit!!"


    Kian shook her body and she muffled her sobs with her hands trying to speak it out to him. That was not how she had pictured to tell him.


    "I...I was pregnant!"


    ________________________________________________


    Her face...her tearful face reflected inside his head as he drank his whisky in one big gulp.


    He had not been doing well. Not after the day he hade to know the truth about what had happened...that they really had lost another child.


    His only regret now that if only if he had believed her...if only if he had stayed back with her at that night...


    Could they have been happily pregnant at this moment??


    It was the answer to this question he could never arrive at. As he sat down on his armchair in his study.


    It had be his bedroom after getting home from the office. He did not bother to head inside their bedroom after that footage he had seen on theputer screen.


    He only could see her figure, mping down on the floor as she bled their child from inside her, calling out for her when he was too upied making sure about the safety of a child that was not theirs.


    Today, the holiday season had started and as per the calendar, the office would be closed until Christmas and he was bound toe back home, after staying at his office for almost every day.


    He worked like a fucking robot to not think much about her, yet she would make her way inside his damn head.


    He had begged Madison so much that he had lost count of it by now, she would not budge one bit.


    He had a team of twenty private agents looking up for her yet they all said that it could never happen because someone was protecting her from getting discovered and he knew who they were.


    You could never find someone who did not want to be found. And it made him crazy, thinking, wondering if it really was the ending of them.


    He knew...he had realized that he had done a mistake,mitted a very deep blunder and it was unforgivable but how could he not react the way he did upon discovering the truth about what she had done to him and his mother...


    For once, if he did take her words for words and that she had no intention of separating him and his mother when she had told her father about it all...


    And maybe that was the reason why he hade back to forget the past and start afresh with her.


    After all, they were married and they could not change the things that they had done in their childhood.


    And only to discover, that she had enough of him, wanting to break free from their marriage.


    Their marriage...it did not mean much to him when they got married. He just did it for her safety...solely to protect her from getting into the trap of that bastard.


    And yet things changed. She showed him how this marriage could be so much more than just a one where he sighed up his life with her to protect her.


    And it was the only constant thing in his life with so many up and down that he had gone through.


    And he was so used to her having with him...he could not now imagine a life without her yet he had been living in one for months now.


    He had no idea where she was, how she was, with whom she was if she was alright if she was eating fine, dressing all good if she had everything she needed and what not??


    He poured himself another whisky. This could have been their first Christmas together, a child of their own, on the way.


    And he had to ruin it all...he just had to push her too far away that she got tired of him and left him altogether.


    He drank up in his own sorrow and guilt of not being there for her when she had needed him the most.


    Most of all, he could not get over the fact that they had lost another child yet of their own...it would be his third.


    Alice knocked on the door and got inside, bringing in the tray of food. He was hardly home and whenever he was, she tried to bring dinner to him.


    "Sir, your dinner!"


    She said, keeping the tray on his table. He did not respond to her and continued drinking.


    "It will get cold if you do not eat it right now!"


    "Who the fuck are you to tell me that???"


    He shouted at her, throwing the ss over and breaking it into pieces. Alice screamed out in fear and tried to get out of the room then and there.


    He cursed out for losing his senses. He had drunk enough for the night and he stood up, walking over to her.


    "Hey!... I m sorry ok? Hey?"


    He called out for her and she took a step backwards with every step he took forward, trying to check out if she was hurt by his outburst.


    It was this anger...this rage and fury of him that had made his wife run away from him...she had enough of his tantrum.


    "I m sorry ok?"


    He raised his hands up in surrender and she stopped moving, looking up at him through her eyshes.


    And nobody knew who made the move first...he or she?? How did ite to that? How did their lips crash against each other??


    He was in awe...Tinsley? His mind screamed out and he pushed her away from him.

 Chapter 198 - MOVING ON WAS JUST NOT EASY...

    Alice had been fired from her job. She did not want to but she had no choices.


    After that night..st night when she had finally thought of making a move. She had a crush on that man...who would not?


    His wife had gone MIA! She was probably noting back ever again...so she thought of steeping in the line but it did not end well.


    She packed her bags and get out of the room where she had been living for the past months ever since her employment.


    Kian rolled his eyes on seeing her getting ready to leave. He was annoyed by her very sight of trying to make a move on a married man.


    "I m leaving!"


    Alice said, trying to get his attention. Kian did not utter a word and continued to read the newspaper, sipping on his cup of coffee, sitting in the living room.


    "You should know that she is nevering back."


    And that got Kian''s attention. He dropped the newspaper on the table and set his eyes upon her.


    "You need to move on."


    "You are very daring to tell me to what to do after that stunt you pulled inst night..."


    Kian spat and Alice tried to act that she was not afraid of him, standing ideal, not moving from her spot one bit.


    "It was not just me..."


    "Shut the fuck up! It was you. I could never kiss a low life like you..."


    Kian stopped her frompleting her line, whatever she was going to say. He was slowly breaking her self confidence.


    "Do not ever fuckingpare yourself to my wife...she is an heiress and my wife...what are you?? The servant of this house...was! So before I make your life more hell, get the fucking out of my sight...fucking get out!!"


    He yelled thest part and Alice was out of his sight at the speed of light. He sighed at having to deal with such a drama in the very morning.


    "She is nevering back!"


    Those words kept ringing inside his head. He sat back down, not knowing what else he could do or not at that moment.


    What if the maid knew things?? Something about Tinsley??


    And now he had scared her away. There was no way in hell would she tell him about stuff.


    He was so tired from trying to get at least even one hint of where she had been residing and he was unsessful so far even at that.


    He had even checked up on her maternal house, Marshally''s home back in Virginia. The old woman, Cecily was still alive and Tin was not there either.


    He was losing his mind from thinking and thinking. He had started taking medicines to stay put and himself during the official meetings.


    It had been hard ever since Madison resigned from her post of head General Advisor of thepany. It had yet toplete a year.


    Although she retained her stock. It was after a lot of negotiations, she had decided in selling it back to him.


    He did not want to sell her back to him. He did not want to lose such an employee like her.


    He knew that he had made their rtionship awkward with everything that had happen in between them.


    He had heard from John that she was nning to buy up a joint airbase and be her own boss this time.


    He was happy with the progress she was making from starting as just a mere secretary to a stock owner and buying her own firm.


    He had tried in every way to make her feel wee in hispany, but things had changed now.


    And mostly her reason if leaving could be connected with Tinsley. She was not letting him know anything about her and working together, she knew that he could use that opportunity to use and find Tinsley.


    Later, that evening, he had driven to Valeria''s house to check up on her. He had heard she was not feeling too good. Lately, her health had been ying tricks with her.


    The doctor life said that she was fine. Just a brief disorder at this stage of her age. It was normal.


    They had dinner together andter had a desert together. Even though Valeria was to be kept away from the sweet surgery thing, she was not ready to set aside yet.


    Kian let her have a little bit of it. And after talking about his childhood, they had a smallugh andter, he put her back to bed.


    "Did you hear about her?"


    Valeria finally asked as he tucked herself on the bed and Kian was a bit taken aback by her question.


    He knew that he could nevere to ept Tinsley. It was not easy after what had happened, what had she done in the past...even though she was a child.


    "No, I did not, Valeria! And I know you must be happy about that."


    Kian replied, not being angry at all. He understood her reason.


    "I m never happy when you are not happy, Kian. Although, I believe that you could do so much better than her."


    Valeria remarked, looking at her nephew, who looked miserable. He had dark circles around his eyes and his facial hair had grown too much.


    "Do you even believe that, Valeria?? That I could do better than Tinsley??"


    Kian mockingly asked. He knew that she was way out of his league. And it would always remain a mystery to him why she chose to stay even after everything he had put her through.


    "Yes, you could...you can. You still can. Life does not stop because someone left, Kian, it always moves forward and I believe, you should not be stuck in one phrase...move on, you have so much to live upon..."


    Valeria advised and Kian just pretended to listen to her. He knew that he was stuck for life if he could never find her.

 Chapter 199 - ITS YOUR DECISION IN THE END!

    Tinsley was waiting in line, waiting for her appointment with the doctor.


    She looked around at all the women. Some were really fancy looking, could be very rich ones.


    Some were with their husband, friend or boyfriend or partner, whatever they preferred to be called...she felt a bit conscious, sitting all by herself, pretending to read their brochure.


    She had read it more than several times. She had visited their website and gone through all their terms and conditions.


    She had been thinking it for a while...about two weeks now and did not dare to get an appointment until she heard, Bethany, the head cook from the diner, she was going through it.


    Bethany had been out of a three years abusive rtionship and ever since she could not get in one, or even think of going to date and she was not getting any younger...as they had said basically women go through this who felt like they were running out of time, not getting any younger.


    "Tinsley Johnson! You are up!"


    The receptionist called out and she stood up, following the nurse who walked her towards the white door.


    She thanked the nurse and got inside the cabin. The doctor was a man and she took a deep breath as she closed the door behind her.


    ________________________________________________


    "You are what??"


    Madison screamed out through the phone, not believing what she had heard.


    Lana poked her head out from inside the pool. They both took a vacation in holiday to Lana''s vi in the countryside.


    Lana got out from the pool, wrapping a towel around her wet, drenched body and joining Madison on the shore.


    "I know how weird it sounds and you are going to tell me that how much I m not financial stable to be undergoing that and I m not fit to be doing this but...Madison, I can feel it that this is what I want..."


    Tinsley tried to exin to Madison why she wanted what she wanted. She knew what Madi was going to say.


    How it was like before. Although things had changed by now but the financial instability still remained.


    She talked with Bethany and she was going to take a loan and borrow some money from her parents as this entire procedure was costly.


    No wonder why she could only see women and men from rich backgrounds. There were some single women like her too, who were tired of being alone.


    "No no...stop! Are you ready for this, Tin??"


    Madi asked that instead. She did not care about the financial instability part as she was going to help Tin in whatever the hell she would ever need.


    "What is it??"


    Lana whispered to Madi, drinking the cocktail, half-finished by Madi, sitting beside her, both their feet under the pool water.


    "She is wanting to have a baby..."


    Madi answered and Lana raised her eyebrows not understanding how. Madi only shook her head at her cluelessness.


    "Through Artificial insemination!"


    Lana choked on her drink and Madi turned her attention back to the call. For everyone, the news was a bit shocking and something they had never really thought about.


    "I m ready I think...living all by myself for four months now, I feel so lonely, Madi and the sheer realization that I have no one in this world that I could call mine, who belongs to me..."


    Tinsley let out, sitting on the children''s park, watching the kids run around being so carefree and happy...their parents smiling at them, finding happiness from theirs.


    Her happiness had long faded away and now finding happiness was a hard task for her.


    She no longer knew what even made her happy. It was as if happiness had be alien to her and she was willing to try and find it through someone else just like these parents.


    She knew that things were not easy at the moment. Everything was so uncertain but one thing was very much certain...that she was all by herself from henceforth.


    So bringing a child into this world that would be solely hers...she felt peace knowing that in the future, she would not be alone, she would not end up being Jessica or those sad old women in the old age homes.


    She had visited that shelter in the city end too and that ce looked miserable. Knowing she had no one anymore and it was going to be hard for her to be with any man...time would not stop running because she was afraid to run with it.


    It was a very big decision and she knew the intensity of this decision. But she was so sure to go through it...more than anything else.


    Meanwhile, Madison did not know how much viable it was for Tin to let go through this.


    With the divorce now on hold, there was no way she could file for another one until Tin came in and gave her fresh signatures.


    Tinsley never asked her how the entire situation was going on and she too never bothered to tell her any of that.


    But then there was a sudden idea that flung inside her mind with this new possibility.


    Kian was adamant about not giving divorce to his naive wife who he very well knew he would never have one like her.


    So if indeed Tin went through this artificial pregnancy and got pregnant with a child that was from a different man...a man who was not Kian, there was no way he would be willing to stay put with Tin anymore.


    It was a disturbing idea, she knew it. Tin only wanted the procedure to not feel lonely and feel associated with someone and here she was ying with the entire situation to politically break a marriage to the point of no return.


    "If you are ready...we are willing to help you as much as we could, Tinsley...after all it''s your decision in the end which matters."

 Chapter 200 - I PUT THAT IDEA IN HIS HEAD!

    PRECAP


    "Did you hear about her?"


    Valeria finally asked as he tucked herself on the bed and Kian was a bit taken aback by her question.


    He knew that she could nevere to ept Tinsley.


    "No, I did not, Valeria! And I know you must be happy about that."

    It was a disturbing idea, she knew it. Tin only wanted the procedure to not feel lonely and feel associated with someone and here she was ying with the entire situation to politically break a marriage to the point of no return.


    "If you are ready...we are willing to help you as much as we could, Tinsley...after all it''s your decision in the end which matters."


    Madi concluded and before Lana could protest, she hung up the phone saying she would call Tin backter.


    "What the hell was that??"


    Lana shouted, not understanding why would she allow a still very much married woman to undergo such a procedure when she was practically and legally married to a husband that was alive and not dead yet.


    "It is something she wants ok...I can''t ask her to stop wanting it just because you and I do not see it as valid!"


    Madi retorted back, standing up. Lana stood up too. She did not how Madi was hell-bent on destroying this marriage.


    "They are not divorced, Madison...she does not know that. She thinks that it''s over with him and her when it has not..."


    Lana tried to put some sense in her girlfriend. She was clearly doing this to ruin this marriage altogether and she knew it...she could tell what was going inside that political head of Madison''s.


    "They are not together...it is what it is. She can do whatever the hell she likes!"


    Madi yelled back, tying her robe around her bikini-d body and getting inside the vi.


    "She cannot...you know that too. She cannot because she is married. She is fucking married!!! And I do not understand why are you so hell-bent on ending a fucking marriage when both do not want it to end of course....??? Why Madison?? Why??"


    Lana wailed, wanting to understand the reason behind her beloved''s motive. She had seen her talk with divorce specialistwyers back and forth.


    And she also saw how many times, Kian had begged to know where his wife was. Sometimes, she felt like telling it to him but she could not because she was loyal to her goddamn of stubborn girlfriend.


    "Because I fucking dropped the idea in his head to marry her!!"


    Madison screamed the answer out. It was why she always felt guilty about how it had turned out to be...how everything had turned out to be.


    When that day, thewyers had dered that there was no hole in Josh''s contract that they could break to make Tinsley free...it was her...she let it out to Kian to marry her.


    Only because she knew that Tinsley loved him and she had seen them y around the field whenever Anna Maria and she visited that countryside bungalow of the Rutherford''s.


    It was not something he hade up with. It was what she had inserted it in his head...to marry her and thought that it would work out.


    But how it ended...destroying a woman''s self-esteem and confidence, feeling stuck and what not...most of all feeling unloved and being treated like shit...Madi somehow felt that she was the reason behind all of this.


    Only because she had dropped the idea or else they would not have gotten married or she would have to go through that bitter heartache and lose two unborn babies in the way.


    She felt responsible and since she trapped Tin in such a rtionship, she was more than determined to get her out of it.


    She was going to do everything in her power to make her free, out of this cruel bond that had only made her feel insecure, sad, submissive...everything that her parents and Josh made her feel.


    "If I had not told him to marry her, he would never have and she would not have to leave the state where she is born,to start anew, running away from a man, who is her husband... it''s all my fault...my doing, Lana and she is paying the price of it..."


    A strand of tears spurted out from her eyes and Lana felt her heartstrings be pulled painfully and she strode forward, engulfing Madi in a big hug.


    "You only wanted the best! It is not your fault that things turned out the way they did... it''s not your fault!"


    Lana soothed Madi, rubbing her back. She knew that Madi was being extra hard on herself and no wonder why she was so pressing to end this marriage.


    She believed she had started it and it was her duty to end it too. But what she did not know was that she could not control everything.


    It was destiny and fate that decided who was going to end up with whom. Everything was so above our hands and out of our knowledge.

 Chapter 201 - DOING RIGHT OR WRONG!?

    Madison and Lana returned from their holiday trip and got busy with the new airspacepany that Madi was nning to buy for herself and start her own working business.


    Lately, they had not heard much from Tinsley either and throughout all of this, Madi was thinking about how to tell Lana about the truth...that she had betrayed their love.


    "Love, Tinsley''s on the phone!"


    Lana entered in their bedroom with her phone on speaker. Madison had been doing some paperwork on the bed.


    "Hey, Tin! What''s up!"


    Madi spoke out. They heard some noises in the background and waited for Tin to speak up.


    "I m sorry for all the noises, I m on my way to get tasted."


    Tinsley let her voice out finally. Both Lana and Madison looked at each other. And they wished her luck.


    It was after that call, they had a brief discussion about what and how this entire thing was going to take ce.


    Madison and Lana assured Tinsley that they were going to bear all the cost of expenses and that there was no need for her to work extra shifts or get a loan.


    But Tin was adamant about the whole thing. She wanted to pay for everything herself and so she ended up taking a half loan.


    It would help with buying out the first half of the procedure and she was okay with that first.


    After getting tested, she was asked to go back home and visit them after another week in between.


    They had conducted three consecutive tests to check up on her reproductive health. Her health reports were rechecked and she also asked about if she had any pregnancies before or missed it, difficulty in conceiving and things like that.


    She told them the truth...and it was helpful for the entire process as they found her to be anxious and stressful which was the cause of herst miscarriage.


    Her anxieties and stress leads to a hormonal change and imbnces which led to her body reacting differently to the embryo that was growing inside of her, leading to a miscarriage.


    It was then she was given medications and several numbers of tests were conducted to check her stress level, monitor it for the time until the end when the seed would be inserted in her womb artificially.


    She was made to understand that how difficult andplex this entire procedure was.


    There were chances of it not working out the first time and she might miscarry it again but going to depression because of that would lead to more difficulties in trying outter.


    She had to understand what she was signing up herself for and if she was ready for it.


    Questions were asked about her family, her marriage or any rtionship she had been in.


    Tinsley partly lied about her family background and also lied about the fact who her husband was and that they were about to get separated.


    By the end of next week, she was given the profiles of several sample hosts who had donated their seeds for this purpose only.


    She was exined how this child if born was only going to be hers. These hosts of donors would have no rights or whatsoever on her child.


    She would be the sole parent, single parent in case she had no partner with herself.


    Sitting in the secluded area, she was going through the files that had been given to her.


    It only had thest name of the donor, his age, his facial feature, colour, eye colour, hair colour, height, weight, health condition, family health history background, and whatnot.


    In nowhere was there any information about the donor''s personal life. So there was no way she could ever know who''s the child she was carrying.


    But in the end, as said, legally this would be only her child and that was what it mattered to her.


    She had clicked photocopies of these hosts information and sent them to Madi and Lana to help her decide with which one she should go.


    They had a brief talk over the phone, did several face-timing of deciding which one she should go with.


    There were moments when Madi started to describe how the man would actually look based on the given facial description.


    And it was the first time, Tinsley hadughed so hard full-heartedly as Madi made jokes about the whole situation.


    Lana joined them too but was grossed out when her girlfriend started dropping dick jokes...as usual Madi had Madi herself.


    By the next week, she had submitted to the hospital with which sample she wanted to go with.


    She was given extra two weeks in between to eat healthily, rest well and not overwork herself.


    Joining Bethany, who was ecstatic to know one of her coworker would be joining her in this journey, they ended up being great friends talking and discussing about everything whenever they would get a lunch break or any rest in between the working hours.


    When the date of her appointment arrived, she was nervous, confused and at the same time very fearful if this would work out for her or not.


    Ever since the news broke out in the diner, Bethany told everyone that Tinsley would be joining her, the chef that was interested in her did not talk to her anymore.


    Neither did Kyle, he kept minimum notice of her. They hardly talked and she could understand why.


    But it did not fade her enthusiasm to get up and carry on with this journey. She left work early doing a half time and by the time she reached the hospital, it was a bitte.


    Bethany joined her as she had gotten her done a few weeks ago. Tinsley was grateful to have herpany and when they got inside the hospital and waited for her turn in the waiting room...she sped her hands together, thinking everything...if or not she was doing right or wrong?

    They are not together...it is what it is. She can do whatever the hell she likes!"


    Madi yelled back, tying her robe around her bikini-d body and getting inside the vi.


    "She cannot...you know that too. She cannot because she is married. She is fucking married!!! And I do not understand why are you so hell-bent on ending a fucking marriage when both do not want it to end of course....??? Why Madison?? Why??"


    Lana wailed, wanting to understand the reason behind her beloved''s motive. She had seen her talk with divorce specialistwyers back and forth.

    ________________________________________________


    "Raise your thighs up, Ms Johnson!"


    The doctor asked her, wearing her gloves. Tinsley was seated on a hospital chair, leaning on, dressed in the hospital gown.


    She followed the doctor''s instructions. Although her heart was beating furiously, afraid, nervous and excited at the same time, she had no idea what was going to happen to her.


    The nurse got ready with some weird looking needles. The doctor was reading through some reports.


    "It might feel a prickling sensation of weird but try to hold intact ok? It we might need to repeat the entire process and as you know it is quite expensive."


    The doctor exined to her. And she tried to understand. The nurse handed the doctor the insertion needle.


    Tinsley took a deep breath and held onto the chair as the doctor got down, the nurse held onto her legs.


    They were strapped onto the strand of the chair to avoid her from making any kind of movement.


    She felt the coldness on her naked feminine core. She had managed to shave herself cleanst night upon the advice of Bethany.


    Even though Bethany wanted to take her to a salon for that, Tin decided to do it herself and not to say it was quite a hard task to get rid of all the hairs...the smaller ones including those between the asscheeks.


    It was a very excruciating job but she was d that she had done a good job and maybe that was why she was being a little confident to remain intact.


    The doctor inserted the sterilized needle with the sample inside her and she felt that tickling feeling.


    It was not something she had ever felt down there. The sensation was just so different and down there is the most sensitive part of her, she avoided and tried her best to not move.


    She felt the needle going deep inside her and she felt its cold metal making contact with her core inside.


    She let out a small mewl of pain when she felt the needle poking her insides. The doctor asked her to stay still as they were only half way in through.


    The entire procedure took a few more minutes before they were done. Tinsley was given a moment to get dressed and clean herself.


    Afterwards, the doctor asked her to follow a set of things. She was to avoid doing heavy, strenuous work and not to stress or overwork herself.


    With Bethany, she leftter on. The rest of the weekend, she spent trying to be very conscious about what she did and what she could not do.


    She avoided bending or doing anything that required applying pressure on her lower back.


    She ate lots of fruits and vegetables, boiled eggs and more vitamins supplements as suggested by the dietician.


    Even though she was asked to not be stressed or anxious but she could not help it either because this week, it was crucial whether or not the sample would stick to her womb.


    The danger of miscarriage was hundred per cent and she tried to not think much about it.


    When the week ended, she bought up two pregnancy test kits and hoped that they would pop positive.


    The doctor had asked her to not take one right away but after a week or two, she could.


    Taking that advice in her head, she took out one test kit and sat on the toilet waiting to pee on the stick.


    It was in those moments, some unwanted memories kicked in. The first time, she took the test with him.


    She closed her eyes not wanting to think about that but her mind was ying games with her.


    The second time when she took the test alone, she remembered that too and how much happy she was.


    But how it had ended in both the cases...she blocked her mind from going to that dark ce again and remained intact.


    Setting the phone on a timer and cing the stick on the counter, she headed out of the washroom to cook dinner before she had to leave for work to the diner.


    She had forgotten the time length and had her dinner, got ready to work. Forgetting the phone in the bathroom along with the test kit.


    It was a busy shift and she tried to not tho k about her past. She was getting emotional and sensitive to small things.


    After her shift was over, walking down the street alone, it was then when checking for her phone inside her skirt pocket, she remembered.


    She started running towards her home, out of excitement and nervousness to see the result.


    She unlocked the door hastily and strode towards the bathroom. Turning off the rm on the phone, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before flipping off the test kit to see the result.

 Chapter 203 - SETTLED FOR BEING A FRIEND...

    PRECAP


    "I have made that mistake, of not having it in the right age and look at me...almost sixty without anyone to call mine..."


    Jessica recalled her days...those youthful ones where she did not even once think that she would someday end up alone like this, juggling between work and life.


    "People would say that it''s not necessary but it is not really true, you feel it when you are single, with no one to mourn your near-death...you have not left anyone in this earth to call yours...life bes an utter failure."


    The old woman shed a few tears and Tin came forward to pull her in for a hug and tell her that she would be there for her.


    ________________________________________________


    "I m never happy when you are not happy, Kian. Although, I believe that you could do so much better than her."


    Valeria remarked, looking at her nephew, who looked miserable. He had dark circles around his eyes and his facial hair had grown too much.


    "Do you even believe that, Valeria?? That I could do better than Tinsley??"


    Kian mockingly asked. He knew that she was way out of his league.


    "Yes, you could...you can. You still can. Life does not stop because someone left, Kian, it always moves forward and I believe, you should not be stuck in one phrase...move on, you have so much to live upon..."


    Valeria advised and Kian just pretended to listen to her. He knew that he was stuck for life if he could never find her.


    ________________________________________________


    Sitting on the toilet seat, holding the stick in her hands, eyeing it with so much treasure.


    Teardrops fell down on the plus sign imprinted on the stick. Happiness...it felt like seeping back inside her nerves, coursing through her blood.


    She stood up and ran to her bedroom to grab theptop and face timed Madison, waiting for them to pick up from the other side.


    After a few rings, Madi picked up, sat on the bed and behind Lana was getting rid of her clothes. She must have been back from work.


    "What is that glowing smile?"


    Madi asked and Tin could not stop the little smile from spreading on her entire full face.


    "What is it??"


    Madi pressed, getting curious and very slowly, without saying another word, Tinsley pulled out the stick and showed them, the positive sign.


    Madison let out a big scream, dropping the phone on the bed, turning the camera upside down. Tinsley could not help theughter that erupted out of her mouth. Lana jumped over on the bed, creating more noises.


    "Fuck!! Jesus!! This is the best news we had heard in the entire month and months..."


    Madi said, finally straitening the camera and this time, Lana was there too with her. Tin nodded.


    "Congrattions!!! Can''t wait to meet you!!"


    Lana let out. Tinsley agreed. She missed them too. Especially going out to lunch with Lana. They always had so much inmon.


    "Can''t believe I will be an aunt in nine months from now!"


    Madi eximed. And they allughed out loud. Lana tried to grab the phone from Madi but she did not give in.


    "I will be the coolest aunty! You guys wait and see!"


    Madi sassed. Lana disagreed and argued that she would be the coolest auntie and then on screen, the couple started to fight over such a silly thing, wrestling for taking the phone.


    "Decide amongst yourself who is going to be the best auntie then...I will see you guys tomorrow!"


    Tinsley concluded, hanging up the call. It was obvious what the bed wrestling was going to lead toter on.


    She kind of remembered what it had led to when he and she were together. She shook her head, not wanting to get back to those dark sad memories which would forever remain frozen in the past.


    At least, right now at the moment, she was happy. She had felt the same happiness, the other two times and how both had ended...she was going to stay positive, she told herself.


    This time, it was going to be different. She was going to only do and think about happiness and be with people which only vibrated a positive aura.


    cing the stick on the nightstand, she got inside the duvet to bid farewell to the day. It had been a hectic one but regardless the happiest one too so far.


    The next morning when she woke up, she did not, no longer find herself alone in the small studio apartment.


    She let the rm off and saw the stick lying on the nightstand. Automatically, a smile spread on her face.


    In the shower, she could not help but pat her t abdomen which was going to bulge out in the nexting months. She could not wait for it to happen.


    Getting out of the shower, she chose a baby pink frock, feeling cute to herself. Trying to style her red hairs for the first time in months, she let them curl in a French pony.


    Breakfast with toast and dropping of the usual coffee, she only had a ss of milk instead. She was going to eat only healthy food. She noted that in her mind.


    Locking her front door, she walked down to the bus stoppage and waited for the bus to show up.


    Usually when it seemed like tedious waiting for the bus, today, it felt entirely different and she was actually excited to go and tell Bethany about it...about her result.


    On reaching the bakery shop, to her delightness, Bethany was already there, doing her day to day chores, cleaning the front counter.


    "Hey there! Morning sunshine! I could tell from here, you got news for me."


    Bethany said and Tinsley came running up to her. She engulfed Beth in a tight hug and whispered the news in her ears. Beth screamed out in joy!


    "No shit Sherlock!!! You are really fucking pregnant???"


    Tinsley nodded and could not help theughter that erupted out from them and the other staff came out to congratte Tinsley.


    She was so ecstatic and the others were equally happy for her. In the meantime, she was called onto the boss''s cabin to talk about her shift during pregnancy.


    She agreed to work double her shift in theing five months so that she could take her to leave during the heavy pregnancy period. The boss was a sweet old woman, who understood her struggle of being pregnant and single.


    The day went by with the usual day to day work. Making and baking cookies and cakes, serving the customers.


    The chef that was flirting with her a month ago, had stopped upon hearing her news of pregnancy and was being oddly sour to her.


    "Guess there is no need of a man now that women can get pregnant by themselves."


    He snapped, chopping the carrots furiously. Everyone knew who he was targeting with thatment.


    "Oh stop it, Jagger! Women can do anything they want."


    Bethany hit back and then there was no more of a talk about that topic anymore. Later, Bethany eased Tinsley stating that the man was only jealous and wanted to get in her pants.


    "Men being men! Idiot as always!"


    Beth mused and Tin gave a small smile to that. They were both collecting the dish for table five.


    "I hope it''s a girl, you know. Tired of guys, here!"


    Beth remarked and Tin could not help but wonder so too. It would be so nice to have a baby girl.


    She touched her t belly, thinking about it. It was a sudden thought but it sure seemed nice to think of a little girl.


    Her father was never happy to have a girl child. Maybe he was before...but after her mother could not give him a boy, things changed...that was the starting of everything going down the drain for her.


    "A girl sounds nice!"


    She whispered and thought to make this girl...not one bit like her. To make and raise her to be a bold woman, independent and ambitious.


    For that, Tin started working more harder. The doctor''s appointment dered all her vitals to be in check and right order.


    There was noplicacy in this pregnancy and that with the right food and health, everything would turn just alright.


    Madison and Lana talked with her all day. They even wanted to talk to her about visiting soon but Tin declined saying she was fine.


    Soon, she had let Jessica, the old woman, next door, about the news and ever since then, the woman would always drop by to give her a pie, a custard, or anything healthy...a home-cooked meal.


    In the diner, working from an early shift, Kyle came forward to congratte her. She was d that he at least was not weird about the entire thing and settled for being a friend with her.

 Chapter 204 - AVA...HER LITTLE ANGEL!

    "How long??"


    "Just a bit more, doll!"


    She said, running the pencil tip over the white canvas. She was having a hard time, drawing even the outline as her object of drawing kept moving.


    "Ava, you need to remain still, baby girl!"


    Tinsley let out and the small girl stomped on her feet, not wanting to be staying put in one position.


    "But my legs hurt, mummy!"


    Little Avained to her mother. The sun was shining bright, over the head and Tinsley was trying to get that view on her canvas with her little girl, shining in between.


    But having a jumpy girl like her, it was just not possible toplete one painting that had her as the object.


    Ava squirmed, rubbing her eyes off, humming and looking else were wanting to run after the butterfly or thedybug or just casually stroll around the field instead of standing in one ce.


    Tinsley gave up, dropping the pencil on the green grass. It was a failing case even to think to paint her.


    "Fine! Let''s go then!"


    Tinsley said, wrapping her stuff back inside the satchel. And little Ava ran up to her mother.


    "Now I get to have the ice cream right, mummy?"


    She asked, very excitedly. Tinsley had promised her with a vani scoop of ice cream if she remained still and let herplete the painting yet it did not go the way it had been nned.


    "Right, mummy?"


    Ava pulled onto her mother''s skirt, trying to grab her attention. Tinsley thought in her head and knew that if she did not oblige, her little angel would not hesitate to throw a tantrum in the middle of the park, in front of everyone.


    "Yes, Ava! But only one scoop as said before!"


    Tinsley remarked and Ava shook her head in positive, pping her hands, jumping up and down.


    Getting the things inside her satchel and wearing it over her shoulder, Tinsley forwarded her pinky finger for her daughter to hold onto.


    "Common now! Hold mummy''s pinky!"


    Ava grabbed onto her mother''s pinky and they both headed out of the park to the nearby ice cream parlour for one scoop vani cone.


    ________________________________________________


    "Mummy!!! Mummy!!"


    Tinsley heard her daughter''s scream and she dropped the phone to go find her from wherever she was screaming.


    Her heart was racing, thinking if something had happened to bet little angel.


    "Where is my Ava dolly??"


    "In here, mummy!!"


    Ava yelled out with her little voice. Tinsley followed the voice and saw her sitting down on the garden, in the mud.


    "Baby!! What happened?"


    Tinsley asked, putting a hand on her chest, sighing that nothing serious had happened as so she had been thinking.


    "Boo boo!"


    Ava answered,pointing to her forefinger. Tinsley joined her on the ground, sitting to her level.


    She picked up her daughter''s little right forefinger in her hands and so a little redness to the side. She must have got hurt ying around.


    And being a drama queen, her little munchkin had to scream out about her nonexistent boo boo.


    "A!! How did it happen??"


    She questioned, rubbing the finger as Ava''s eyes watered and it broke Tinsley''s heart to see tears on her pure big eyes.


    "My baby!! Hop into mummy''s arm and the pain will go away!"


    Ava jumped inside her mother''s arm, wrapping her small arms around Tinsley''s neck.


    Tinsley hugged her daughter back tightly, pasting her small figure to her chest, smelling her faint baby smell.


    "Mummy loves you so much and pain will go away right away!"


    Tinsley murmured, rubbing her small back. Ava nodded, hugging her mother close to her.


    "Is it fading away??"


    She nodded. It was always the cure. Whenever she would get hurt, Tinsley would hug her to her chest and she would exin to her littledy bird that how the power of love could evade away any kind of pain.


    "Is my Ava Dolly feing better now?"


    The little girl nodded and it delighted how much naive and innocent she was. It was the purity in her little heart that was so eye catching.


    And it was this naiveity of the little heart that Tinsley wanted to protect at all cost, not wanting it to be corrupted by the means of this big cruel world.


    She had promised herself that she would not let Ava to go through the same dark shit she had to go through, running her version of the existence of thehappy world.


    "Everything will be fine because..."


    "...the magic of love can heal anything!"


    Avapleted, pping her hands and Tinsley smiled, kissing her baby girl on her forehead.


    And just like that everything was forgotten, she started running around the garden as if she had not been crying out for help a while ago.


    Tinsley watched her dance around the small backyard, her big eyes smiling at the sun, the wind, the tress...for her the world was so big and beautiful and Tinsley wanted to keep it that way...no matter whateverthe kind of hardship woulde to her way.


    She could remember only a very few moments where she was ying, being so carefree out in the wind with her mother.


    Marshally was not a bad mother...she was just too submissive and followed her husband''smand of how to be a mother rather than listening to her heart...a mother''s heart in parenting her daughter.


    And it could have been there, where Tinsley craved that kind of attention...motherly attention from her mother who was busy being the shadow of her father.


    It was this loneliness, the feeling of being left alone in the big mansion...the big greener field underneath that big blue sky or someday under the huge chandelier...it made her ache for freedom so much.


    Anna Maria was there for her in all the way up...yet she was not her mother, she was just a nanny, paid to look after her.


    Could have been why she ran after him, tried to get his attention in the fields and make him her friend to y with??


    It could have been for so many reasons yet nothing mattered now that she had her daughter...her little ray of sunshine.


    She vowed to do right by her...to be the mother she craved for...


    ________________________________________________


    Being a parent was never going to be easy.


    Getting pregnant with a child, pushing it out of your body, raising it from a baby to a toddler and then to a sensible person...was never easy.


    Tinsley roamed around the house, barefoot, picking up all the scattered toys on the floor in the living room.


    The kettle went off at six in the morning. She hurried to get the bread toasted and get the pie ready.


    Her little girl was starting preschool today. It was a big day for both the mother and the daughter.


    Getting the breakfast ready, packed her school bag, and then ran towards the bedroom to wake up her sleeping princes.


    "Wakey, wakey! Princess!!"


    Tinsley got on the bed, tickling her munchkin''s sides. She squirmed,rolled to the other side, not liking what her mother was doing at all...hmm not even one bit.


    "We will bete for your preschool baby!"


    With so much struggle, lifting Ava up and getting her inside the bathroom for a quick bath.


    Bathing a kid was like taking a bath yourself and it was how it happened here too. Tinsley was all wet by the time, they both got out of the bathroom.


    She dried herself and Ava with the big towel. Picking out the clothes that her little highness had chosen the very other day, she dressed her up.


    Her red hairs were as shiny as hers...a bit different from hers with the hazelnut texture, making it unique altogether.


    She dropped a kiss on her head, after trying the ponytails. Ava ran down to the kitchen for her breakfast.


    "Pie! pie!"


    She eximed, pping her hands. She loved pie. It was what Marshelly liked too.


    Tinsley smiled, cutting a piece for her daughter. Feeding a kid was just as excruciating a job as leaving her in the preschool.


    They both danced their way out of the house, Tinsley holding the barbie pink backpack.


    ________________________________________________


    Leaving your only sweet child in the school was the hardest starting of the separation phase for a mother...and so many more were yet toe.


    Not to start with full-time school, then growing up and staying up at a friend''s house, jumping to high school andter leaving for college...


    Tinsley closed her eyes, disheartened that it was what the future was going to be like. She did not like it one bit.


    She wanted her Ava, close to her all the damn time. She was her soul, her light, her salvation.


    As she waited outside the gate of the preschool, she saw her little Ava getting out, smiling...but in the opposite direction. Tinsley followed it through her eyes...


    "Daddy!!!"

 Chapter 205 - ITS A GIRL!

    PRECAP


    Sitting on the toilet seat, holding the stick in her hands, eyeing it with so much treasure.


    Teardrops fell down on the plus sign imprinted on the stick. Happiness...it felt like seeping back inside her nerves, coursing through her blood.


    She stood up and ran to her bedroom to grab theptop and face timed Madison, waiting for them to pick up from the other side.


    Fuck!! Jesus!! This is the best news we had heard in the entire month and months..."


    Madi said, finally straitening the camera and this time, Lana was there too with her. Tin nodded.


    "Congrattions!!! Can''t wait to meet you!!"


    Lana let out. Tinsley agreed. She missed them too. Especially going out to lunch with Lana. They always had so much inmon.


    "Can''t believe I will be an aunt in nine months from now!"


    ________________________________________________


    Sweat drops danced on her forehead as she saw him... amid the crowd, the waiting parents.


    He was standing there, raising his hands out for her little Ava and when she parted her gaze to look in the opposite direction from him to see her daughter...Ava had a big smile stered on her face.


    Tinsley gulped the saliva down her throat, her lips got dried, her voice got sealed in herrynx as she tried to stop her baby girl from running into the arms of that man...


    "Daddy!!"


    She screamed, pped her hands, her grey eyes were delighted to see her father waiting for her..missing to notice her mother out of the immense joy.


    "No...no nono, Ava!! No!!"


    She tried her best to halt her daughter''s little step from running towards him but it was to no use as her shouts for stopping her angel got lost in the crowd.


    In no minute, her little body was pasted to his as he lifted her up and threw her up in the air as if she weighed nothing at all.


    Ava pped her hands out of amusement and ignited him to go for more.


    Tinsley ran up to them, thrashing the people to the side and held his bicep before he could repeat the action.


    He tilted his head to the side and saw her. His grey pairs peeking into her evergreen forest ones.


    "Finally found you!"


    He smirked and it ran shivers down her spine when he said that the way he said it...the noises in the background seemed to have faded as she could only listen, and hear to his sayings in a loop...


    "Finally found you!!"


    As if there was no escaping from him anymore. He found her. He found her daughter and he was not going to let them go this time...that easily for sure!


    ________________________________________________


    The pring pring sound went off and all of a sudden, her eyes fluttered open to analyze if it were real.


    Her eyes ran around the nip and pin of her bedroom thoroughly and saw that she was safe...safe in the confinement of her house, her bedroom, on her bed.


    It was just a weird bad bad dream...very vivid and informative in the details...the kind of dream, you need not forget when you wake up in the morning and it keeps hitting you hard in your head, thinking about it nonstop...about what it had really meant if dreams indeed carried a secret message, a warning to the near future.


    But as the rm went off, Tinsley had no time to ponder much about it. She had to get up and get ready for work.


    She pulled the duvet aside from her body, revealing her three-month-old bump.


    "I love you, Ava dolly!"


    She patted her bulged out belly and got up from the bed. It had be a morning ritual for her to start her morning by saying that.


    Heading to the bathroom, brushing her teeth and after a warm shower, she slipped inside her working clothes.


    Eating healthy all the time had made her gain weight and she was really notining about it.


    When all her life, she had been dictated to keep a perfect body to seem attractive in the eyes of men...she did not ever have a healthy diet.


    She was never good at working out and it was a huge disappointment for her father who believed having a daughter like her, one who was not as physically active as him, was just another to add shaming upon her character.


    She was so like her mother. Marshally never worked out either but she had mastered the arts of dieting and staying in shape.


    She tried to inculcate the same behaviour into Tinny but Tins always had a sweet tooth which forced her mother to not let her daughter eat at all.


    Getting married, living with her then-husband, things changed but there was this insecurity...the fear that he would not be attracted to her anymore if she gained weight.


    He never let out such a signal but internally, she could not help but feel that and in circumstances where her husband had so many admirers...so many women who wanted him even after knowing that he was married.


    But now with having no men to please, no parents to lecture her about staying in shape, she could eat anything and everything she wanted. Being pregnant was another added bonus.


    She tied her hair back in a messy bun, finished eating the pancakes and headed out for work, locking the door behind her.


    On the way, she had greeted Jessica. The old woman was helping her in so many ways.


    "You look so adorable popping those cupcakes inside your mouth."


    Bethany said. They were both on their lunch break and were finishing the leftover cakes together.


    Beth with her five-month-old bump and Tin with her three-month-old, almost going to four, they had be besties, supporting each other throughout this pregnancy.


    "You are going to that checkup with me,ter today?"


    Tinsley asked hopefully. Bethany had been apanying her to all the doctor''s appointments so far and it was helpful in a way to have someone with you during those checkups.


    "Hmmm, sure! I just need to drop by in to run a few errands we could go together."


    Bethany said, smiling. And Tinsley smiled back. They both silently finished their mini luncheon slowly.


    Within the next few weeks, Beth and Tin went to her another checkup. It had been a struggle to decide whether or not to get the gender reveal done or wait for the surprise.


    Beth was having a baby girl and she had been inducing Tinsley to go for it. Take the gender reveal procedure and get to know the baby''s gender.


    It helped in setting up the nursery, getting the right baby clothes instead of going for a gender-neutral one.


    Beth had already taken her to the shop to buy some baby clothes. Simple things like napkins, pacifiers and whatnot.


    Baby stores were just so adorable. Every piece of clothing, every dress, every object, were just so adorable that it made anyone to buy everything but it was not possible when you were running on a tight budget.


    "Everything seems fine, normal and the baby is healthy too."


    The doctor said, running the ultrasound stick all over Tinsley''s bump, semi-wet with the cold jelly-like substance rubbed over her.


    "Do you want to know the gender of the baby?"


    The doctor offered and Tinsley had a second thought of denying it but ended up nodding her head.


    The doctor examined the screen, looking for the baby''s genitalia, a possible clitoris, also called the hamburger sign...to see if it was a girl and if not, a boy...


    Tinsley too kept her eyes on the screen, staring at it with deep concentration trying to figure things out although she had no idea what the doctor was looking for.


    "It''s a girl! A very healthy girl!"


    The doctor let out and she could not believe that it hade true...she was indeed having a girl.


    She had only dreamt and thought of a girl but did not really know if it were going to be true.


    For that confusion only, she had picked out two names, Ava if it were to be a girl and Adam if it were to be a boy.


    Although her heart kept saying that it was a girl and it came true. Perhaps a mother''s intuition knew it.


    "Look right here, do you see thebia and clitoris developing?? It''s still very early but it is a girl..."


    The doctor pointed at the screen. Tinsley''s eyes watered as she was seeing her baby girl developing, growing inside her womb.


    "She is healthy so need to worry and congrattions!"


    The doctor eximed and let Tinsley dress up from wearing off the hospital gown.


    Later, heading out, she found Beth waiting in the waiting area, she approached her and Beth turned around.


    "It''s a girl!"

    "They are not together...it is what it is. She can do whatever the hell she likes!"


    Madi yelled back, tying her robe around her bikini-d body and getting inside the vi.


    "She cannot...you know that too. She cannot because she is married. She is fucking married!!! And I do not understand why are you so hell-bent on ending a fucking marriage when both do not want it to end of course....??? Why Madison?? Why??"


    Lana wailed, wanting to understand the reason behind her beloved''s motive. She had seen her talk with divorce specialistwyers back and forth.


    And she also saw how many times, Kian had begged to know where his wife was. Sometimes, she felt like telling it to him but she could not because she was loyal to her goddamn of stubborn girlfriend.


    "Because I fucking dropped the idea in his head to marry her!!"


    ________________________________________________


    Ava pped her hands out of amusement and ignited him to go for more.


    Tinsley ran up to them, thrashing the people to the side and held his bicep before he could repeat the action.


    He tilted his head to the side and saw her. His grey pairs peeking into her evergreen forest ones.


    "Finally found you!"


    He smirked and it ran shivers down her spine when he said that the way he said it...the noises in the background seemed to have faded as she could only listen, and hear his sayings in a loop...


    ________________________________________________


    It was the pre-celebration of thepany going global and being sessful for the past six months.


    Madison had finally resigned from her post of Chief Advisor and had settled in only as a stock owner of thepany.


    She was at her desk, collecting her belongings, the rest of the office was partying outside.


    Kian saw her but did not feel like going in personally and bidding her farewell. Their rtionship had changed so much...things were no more the same as it was before.


    John noticed the scene and thought of ignoring it. He was meaning toe and talk to Madison for a few business-rted stuff and also about them...she had been ignoring him for thest few weeks.


    "Sir, you are being needed!"


    One of the employees asked for Kian and they both walked away to the lobby. Johntook this opportunity and strode inside, knocking on her door, first.


    Madison turned around to see him. There was a moment of awkward silence yet she nodded her head for him to enter.


    "So you are packing up...for real!"


    "Yes...yes, I m."


    Madison replied, sliding off the strand of hair that kept poking her face behind her right ear. She did not dare to look up at him...his hypnotizing eyes.


    "I...uhh...I came to inform you about the legal papers of your new firm. It is ready, you just need to go through it and get back to me...I will send it to mywyer for verification..."


    John said, handing her the papers from his coat back pocket. Madison stepped forward to take it from him and the slight brush on their hands did not go unnoticed by him.


    They both looked up into each others eyes and felt like as if time had stopped...every noise outside subsided.


    It had been a month ever since those fateful days. Those were some of the best days he ever had.


    He had seen, admired her for so long but held back thinking she and Kian were a thing.


    Who would not?? They were the best boss and secretary team during those days. And everyone thought that they had a thing.


    Now breaking apart,ing to know that indeed there was nothing as such, only to discover she was the woman, his sister was madly in love and still.


    Now they were back together and even after their behind the door affair, she was not willing toe clean and be with him...because she loved his sister but not him.


    That hurt him...knowing that they could never be more than anything at all. There was not one space of her skin left untouched or kissed by him.


    He knew her, each of her fickle or the birthmarks...he had seen her in ways, touched her everywhere, loved her in an unending passion, now that it was not possible to forget any of those.


    Out of instinct, he grabbed ahold of her hand and pulled her closer to him, her soft body against his hard taut ones.


    Their faces were almost touching. He did not dare to kiss her first for he knew he would not be able to stop if he did.


    Madi peeked into his eyes, his closed ones. He was breathing hard. His hot breath fanning over her hot face.


    His hands snaked around her waist protectively. Her hands rested on either of his shoulders. She licked her lips and he sucked in a chunk of air, trying very hard to hold onto that fading resistance...slowly dying away.


    "This is so wrong..."


    He let out, exactly knowing how wrong this was. Their attraction for each other was like fire and water.


    She was his little sister''s girlfriend, the woman she loved and they were in a fuckingmitted rtionship...yet he could not help but want her all to himself.


    "But feels so right!"


    She whispered, wanting to feel his lips on hers. She had lost the battle where her mind and heart kept fighting over whether or not to give in...?


    It was a losing battle from the first day, the moment it had started. She loved Lana. She really did yet she would melt in his arms, like putty in his hand and would want him anyway.


    "I can''t..."


    "Neither could I..."


    They both uttered out, resting their foreheads against each other. It was just not easy. It had not been easy ever since they let themselves burn in the fire of their passion.


    The need of wanting more, craving a little too much of everything had been disturbing them ever since, taking their sleep off of their eyes...it was a disaster...that they had started and was now dying every day bit by bit in it.


    "Kiss me..."


    Madi requested, her emotions, her passion taking a troll over her judgements.


    John inhaled sharply. She was going to be the end of him. She was going to ruin him for good.


    "We can''t run away from this...we decided to jump in once and now there is no escape..."


    Before she could evenplete, he mmed his lips against hers. She let out a gasp, feeling his soft full lips on hers, all of a sudden.


    He pulled in her lower lips inside his mouth, biting it with his teeth. She let the pain sink in her skin...wanting more of it, wanting him to mark her as his.


    Kian stood behind the uncovered ss window, watching the entire scene unfold right before his eyes.


    He could not perceive the fact that how could someone have an affair with their own sister''s girlfriend??


    Neither could he understand Madison''s reasoning to stoop down for cheating on a love...she had imed to love truly and unconditionally.


    There was Lana, talking over a flute of champagne to the people outside in the lobby, totally unaware of the fact that her brother was slipping his tongue down the throat of her girlfriend.


    Of everything, Kian hated to be cheated on or any cheaters and liars. He rather has people be hard and rudely straightforward than sugarcoating everything and be someone else or hide something in it.


    He intentionally kicked off the flower vase, distracting them and then going away to the lobby.


    Madison pushed John off of her, afraid that someone mighte in on them and catch them red-handed.


    Later, that afternoon, he was drinking whisky in his office when Kian got inside and mmed a folder on his table.


    John turned around to look at him, narrowing his eyes, picking the folder up, opening it to find out the photos of him and Madi in apromise position.


    It was taken from a while ago. The security camera footage,they...both had forgotten to keep that in mind.


    The camera was recording everything and it totally slipped their minds off. Kian smirked at his uneasy face.


    He was left with no choice but to take this path. He had spent near to million so far, trying to get ahold of his wife yet could not find one information about her because someone big was helping in keeping her hidden.


    And who could it be?? If not John Kravinshky himself... He hadnded his own jet for Tinsley to get away and used his sources to seal her identity from every source...banking, shopping, etc.


    "Tell me where is my wife and your sister will not have to know the truth that his brother is fucking her girlfriend behind her back!"

 Chapter 207 - BAD NEWS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR!

    PRECAP


    He tilted his head to the side and saw her. His grey pairs peeking into her evergreen forest ones.


    "Finally found you!"


    He smirked and it ran shivers down her spine when he said that the way he said it...the noises in the background seemed to have faded as she could only listen, and hear to his sayings in a loop...


    "Finally found you!!"


    As if there was no escaping from him anymore. He found her. He found her daughter and he was not going to let them go this time...that easily for sure!

    ________________________________________________


    Tinsley informed Madi and Lana that she was having a baby girl and the news broke out a happy celebration in the other side.


    "We should definitely have a baby shower!"


    Lana let out. Madison nodded in agreement, taking thest sip of her red wine and dropping the flute on the counter to speak up.


    "No...no! A baby shower is just too much! "


    Tin disagreed. She was already swimming in the pool of expenses, loans and whatnot and the baby shower was an expensive celebration even if they would have it a mini one, she could not manage to spend one extra penny that was not needed for emergency purposes.


    "This is from her aunties!"


    Madi spoke out, interrupting Tin. Lana smiled, giving her full support to Madison in this matter.


    "You guys, it''s really not necessary!"


    "Well, we think it is so we are having one! If you disagree, you are not invited!"


    Madi sassed and all of them broke out in a fit of a giggle. It had been so long since they had had a reunion.


    Every time, Madi and Lana would make up a n toe to visit her, there would be something from work that would pop out from nowhere and they would have to cancel the n.


    Tinsley could totally understand it. Lana was a supper IMD model worldwide and Madi had recently started her own airbase business, they both were busy and she did not want to get in between their work and life anymore. They had helped her so much and it was enough.


    "So we wille next week? Fixed n!"


    Madi proposed, looking at Lana to see if she agreed and had no work n by next week. Lana smiled, consenting to the n.


    Tinsley did not bother stopping them anymore. She too craved to have them there and meet them in person finally.


    And suddenly, the doorbell ring went out. Madi excused herself to answer the door and left Lana to keep talking with Tinsley in their study.


    She climbed down the stairs and walked up to the front door in the living room. They were not expecting anyone at the moment, yet when she opened the door, she knew that something was up for him to show up at this hour.


    John was horrified and terrified at the same time, wondering how to break the news to her.


    He was breathing high, trying to avoid eye contact with her. She could not help but wonder if this was about what had happened in the office earlier, this was not the time, she was expecting him toe and talk to her, especially when Lana was here too.


    "I told him...I told him!"


    Madison could not understand what he was saying and red at him still standing on the threshold of the door, him still outside and her, holding the door open.


    "I told him where she is..."


    He whispered out, peeking at her eyes when she finally understood what he had meant.


    At first, she could not believe it if he really meant what she understood and heard. She narrowed her eyes at him. And when he kept a straight face, it urred to her that it had happened.


    "Why??"


    She let out, softly, not getting why he would do that. Everything was finally falling back into its ce and he had to go and ruin everything.


    "Why would you do that?"


    She pressed. John did not know how to tell her why he did what he did. He tried to push her inside and talk.


    "Let''s talk inside..."


    "No! You tell me why would you do that?"


    Madi pped his hands away from touching her. She was furious at him for breaking his promise. John was expecting such an outburst from her. He could not imagine when he would tell her why he did it.


    "Let''s just talk inside ok? Calm down!"


    He tried to be patient with her. He knew that she was very protective of Tinsley after everything that had happened. And he had reasons why he had to let loose from the promise.


    "Do not fucking tell me to calm down!"


    She spat at him. She was beyond angry at this point. Finally when she thought she had seeded in keeping her away from his reach and how beautifully, she was making a progress, and everything had to disrupt, break all lose in the nock of the time.


    She was mad about that. She was aggravated about how he...that bastard was finally going to win the race...only one game, she had ever challenged him for.


    She so thought...so felt like this was the end...ending of the nonstop session of Kian Randall getting everything he wanted...she was confident that she had broken that cycle finally.


    "If you do not calm down, I can''t tell you why I did what I did!"


    John yelled, whispered. She was being a goddamn stubborn woman, not giving him one second to exin his reasons.


    He was not a promise-breaker, as she was assuming him to be. Hell! He had gone as far as concealing any kind of identity Kian''s bunch of secret agents were trying to dig up.


    If not for him, Kian would have found her out within a month, not to say they had gone more than six months, almost, only because he was really ying his part to hide her for real.


    "I do not want to even listen why...why you do it?? You just wrecked the entire ship and none of your reasons would validate the fact that it is sinking now...it already had perhaps..."


    Madi interrupted him. John sighed, he knew the intensity of the damage. But they would not be able to prevent the uing dangers if they did not talk.


    "Listening to your justification here, he might have already reached her, standing on her door, about to knock and the shock that she would have...it will be all on you, John Kravinshly!"


    Madi used him as if he had done the most hideous crime. John was exhausted by this point. He just needed her to shut up for a moment and listen to him.


    "Will you fucking seal your mouth even for a second?"


    He snarled, running out of his patience. Madi was taken aback by his outburst and she let out a mocking giggle...she was nervous, anxious because he had never used such a tone with her.


    Yet, she would not allow him to see her vulnerable. She was not the kind of woman, who bowed down, took the step backwards.


    "I would not..."


    "He show us..."


    And that stopped her altogether. She gaped at him...at his words. He let it out finally.


    "He show us in the office and..."


    Before he could finish, Madi turned around and he did not understand her move. She was not affected by it? He did not get her...


    She was done with him, trying to pull their affair in a matter like this to justify his loose actions.


    There was no one...no one show them and if somebody did, it was on him. Who told him to pull her to him like that in a ce like that??


    She knew that she was bing extremely selfish at this point of thrashing every me at him but she was not going to take it...she was not going to be the reason behind Tinsley''s misery anymore.


    "It''s on you!"


    John narrowed his eyes at her. How could it be only him? When she was equally involved in the action.


    "You are just trying to make it look like it''s all me because you started this problem, Madison Maria...you asked him to marry her and now she is trapped...you do not get an easy pass out every time...own it up!"

 Chapter 208 - A CONFESSION BREAKING HEARTS!

    She knew that she was bing extremely selfish at this point of thrashing every me on him but she was not going to take it...she was not going to be the reason behind Tinsley''s misery anymore.


    "It''s on you!"


    John narrowed his eyes at her. How could it be only him? When she was equally involved in the action.


    "You are just trying to make it look like it''s all me because you started this problem, Madison Maria...you asked him to marry her and now she is trapped...you do not get an easy pass out every time...own it up!"


    John eximed and it made Madi so so angry at him for poking her with that one mistake she had done.


    She was trying to resolve it by keeping her safe and away from him and she was seeding only for him to disrupt it in the meantime.


    "You should own up! It''s because of you that he is going to find her out and this time she would have no easy escaping from him..."


    Madi busted out. John had never been angry at someone as he was at her for the time being.


    "Well, I could only help you this much in your redemption path, madam!"


    John mocked and she did not take it quite well any of it. Her right palmnded straight against his cheek.


    And everyone in the room was astonished. Madi took a step backwards, realizing what she had done.


    John remained in his ce shocked and could not move at all. He had always been nice to her...he had always shown her unconditional favour not because he was into her...but because he respected her, admired her as a person.


    But this time...this time he was beyond angry at her. Angry because she was not at all considering about him...in what circumstance that had led him into doing so...she was being inconsiderate.


    Her chest was heaving up and down as she saw him...the anger in his eyes brewing up, the darkness in him getting darker.


    He stepped forward and she was never the one to take a step backwards and remained static.


    He bored his eyes into hers. She had to look up to match with his gaze, him being a foot taller than her entire frame.


    "You are one selfish woman! "


    He let out, and she gulped the saliva down her throat as he uttered those words with so much venom.


    "You are no less!"


    She retorted back. They were both breathing too high and from the corner, up the stairs, Lana was watching the entire scenario.


    She had hung up on Tinsley the moment she heard screaming and shouting from downstairs.


    She had understood the part where her brother had told that he had revealed Tin''s location to Kian but did not get it the part where he told that Kian shows him and Madi...? It did not make sense to her.


    Now looking at her brother and girlfriend so close to each other...breathing the same air almost...something was just not right the way both were staring at each other as if they had shared one history...the kin that was best to keep hidden.


    "I only give and you only take! Selfish!"


    John mumbled out thest part with so much furry that it hit Madi straight in her head.


    How dare he pretend as if it only had been him...that it was only him who had given and she took??


    Hell!! She had gave him her body and party a piece of her heart while choosing to betray the love of her life...and he dared say she only took from him?? And not gave him anything??


    "Fuck you!!"


    Madi hit him on his chest with both her fist and John did not budge. She went on with it, repeatedly.


    "I fucking gave you my body..."


    Hit!


    "I fucking let you see my soul!"


    Hit! Hit!


    "I fucking chose to cheat on the woman that I love to have a moment with a piece of shit like you!"


    Hit! Hit! Hit!


    John did not stop her as she ranted out everything that she had been holding up for so long inside of her.


    He could see at that moment that she was as disturbed as he had been. It made sense now why she chose to avoid him after their affair. And he had been thinking she was done with him.


    Yet it was not just her??


    He had given too...he had given her his heart when she chose his sister''s, yet he let her take it, have a look and stomp over it, walking away...


    She was not the only one hurt...not the only one confused...not the only one guilty formitting such a sin...cheating! Betrayal!


    "I fucking can''t...still do not know how I m breathing in the same room as her, every time this guilt... it''s eating me away yet all I can think of is wanting to do it again...I just want to kill myself..."


    And John held her fists, stopping her and pulling her close to his body, not letting herplete that word...he just could not let her...he could not imagine her dead...


    He mmed her lips against hers, swallowing away her sobs of pain and ache that both their actions had caused her.


    At first, she protested but then let in. She needed him...all she needed at that moment was his warm embrace, telling her that everything would be alright...to hide from that guilt trip...


    A gasp left Lana''s mouth. She enclosed her mouth with her hands from breaking loose on seeing what she was seeing.


    Her brother...her own blood brother making out with the woman she loved...the woman who was her partner.


    It did not seem one-sided at all. They were very much into each other...anyone could tell it from ten feet apart.


    Their foreheads rested against each other as they breathed in the same air of despair together.


    Somehow, somewhere both felt at peace foring out clean about something both had been avoiding to talk about.


    He felt a sudden calmness in his heart knowing that she felt it for him...if not all at least something...she wanted him the way he wanted her...


    Madison felt at ease for letting out how truly she had been feeling about all these. He knew it now...it was out in the air...something she tried to keep it in herself for so long.


    "I love you!"


    She looked up at him, peeling her temple off from his. Her ears could not believe what she just heard.


    He confessed...he could not hold it anymore in him. He would have done it long ago if in their first and only date, the unwanted truth of about his sister liking her would not have been out.


    He always wanted her...he loved her. It was the truth. He would have proposed to her most probably in their second or third date if it only had happened...


    She never saw thating...she never thought that a man like him could ever love a woman like her...such an utter mess!


    The silence was eerie...the silence was a killer one. Lana wanted to know what was next...what she would tell...what Madi would do??


    "I have always loved you...I do! It always has been you and I can''t control it anymore, Madison, not when you are dating my sister...you love her...I respect that...I love my sister''s happiness but I just can''t be like this...seeing the woman I love with anyone else, be it with my own sister...I just want you all to myself...and I can''t, not anymore pretend if it''s not the truth...its the truth...be it my sister''s partner, I love you...and I want you!"


    John dered, not holding himself one bit. Letting out his true feeling all out in the air for her to hear and breathe.


    "I want you too...!"


    Madison whispered, loud enough for him to hear and clear enough to break Lana''s already broken heart into pieces and parts.


    That was all she knew...that she wanted him. That everything about that she felt for him was lustrous yet when she let her ship sink into his, thinking that it would be over, she only craved more of him...


    Andtely, she hade to realize that it was more than lust...it had always been more than that. She wanted him more than his flesh...yet she loved Lana...she was confused, she still was.


    Lana could not stand still as her hand knocked off the flower vase from the top, mistakenly when she tried to move out from there...not being able to breathe anymore.


    John and Madi were broken up from their trance and looked up as the flower base fell, shattering to pieces...blown out to finally notice a tear strained Lana.

 Chapter 209 - ENDED IT ALL HURTING HER...

    PRECAP


    "I fucking can''t...still do not know how I m breathing in the same room as her, every time this guilt... it''s eating me away yet all I can think of is wanting to do it again...I just want to kill myself..."


    And John held her fists, stopping her and pulling her close to his body, not letting herplete that word...he just could not let her...he could not imagine her dead...


    He mmed her lips against hers, swallowing away her sobs of pain and ache that both their actions had caused her.


    Madison felt at ease for letting out how truly she had been feeling about all these. He knew it now...it was out in the air...something she tried to keep it in herself for so long.


    "I love you!"


    She looked up at him, peeling her temple off from his. Her ears could not believe what she just heard.


    A gasp left Lana''s mouth. She enclosed her mouth with her hands from breaking loose on seeing what she was seeing.


    ________________________________________________


    Lana could not stand still as her hand knocked off the flower vase from the top, mistakenly when she tried to move out from there...not being able to breathe anymore.


    John and Madi were broken up from their trance and looked up as the flower base fell, shattering to pieces...blown out to finally notice a tear strained Lana.


    "Lana?"


    A mewl left out of Madi''s mouth, totally forgetting the fact that she had been here all these times in the same house where they were both arguing...screaming and shouting.


    John was beyond shocked to see his sister. He did not what she might be thinking of him at the moment and it was heartbreaking to have broken her sister''s, fragile heart.


    "Lana? You...I ughh...he and I..."


    Madison did not say what to say...she was stutteringly knowing that Lana had probably heard everything and that there was no way, she could know how to address the situation.


    Lana was crying silently as she peeked at them the same way they were doing. They, of course, thought that she would never find out but here they were...the truth could not be hidden for so long.


    "You have to believe me...I love you..."


    And it was her breaking point. Lana could not bear it anymore of because she did not know if it were the truth or an utter massive lie at the point.


    How could one person love two people at one??


    She could not understand that logic at all. She did not bother standing there and looking at those two people...those two people, so close to her, whom she never thought would break her heart, harm her...yet ended up doing all that to her.


    Madison never thought in her wildest dream that everything would be out like this in the air...she had always thought of letting it all out in a very decent manner.


    When she tried to climb up the stairs and confront her, but Lana stopped her raising her hand up.


    "Stop! Right there! "


    Her eyes were tear strained and she held a venomous re at Madison. She stopped right in her tracks.


    "Don''t you daree near me!"


    "Lana..."


    "You do not dare utter my name through that fucking mouth..."


    Lana snapped. She felt so betrayed and hurt. Madison knew that this day woulde the moment she would have confessed the truth...but did not know it would be so dreadful.


    "Delta...please listen.."


    "Stop!"


    Lana raised her hand up to shut her brother up. She could not bear to look at him at the moment.


    She could not believe that he could stoop this low...this low to sleeping with her girlfriend?


    "I cannot even think...I cannot see and think right..."


    She spoke to herself, holding onto her chest as if her heart was hurting. It was paining from all the betrayal, from all the cheating...lies, her own people fed her up with.


    "Never in my wildest dreams...never did I think..."


    She let out a heavy sob and Madison did not know how she was holding herself upright, and not run-up to her,fort her.


    It was aching her to see Lana like that...so horrified from knowing the truth, terrified and betrayed.


    She closed her eyes, holding onto the railing hard, trying to keep her bnce. She felt like losing herself.


    If Madi and her brother did not see her from that vase breaking down, she would have run-up to her bedroom and locked herself there.


    But she had to be here, standing among those who had deceived her in all the way up...leaving no space at all.


    It was at this time that John was worried about his sister''s health. It had been a secret...she had urged to keep it as a secret for so long and he was afraid that she would lose it right at that time.


    Madison had no idea how to confront her, what to say to her, with what face? She knew that she had messed up big times...she had ruined the only good in her life.


    "Delta. I think you should go to bed..."


    "Don''t you dare pretend to carry for me..."


    Lana snarled and Madi was clueless. But she could see it...see his pale Lana looked. Her face colour was fading away.


    John did not bother listening to her anymore and pushed Madi aside, climbing up the stairs, Lana shouted for him to stay back, stepping backwards.


    Madi was shocked and was blown away when from constant screaming and shouting, Lana lost her fit. She fell down on her brother''s arms as he held her and strode towards the bedroom.


    Madison rubbed her tears off and ran up to them after having her momentary breakdown.


    She saw Johnying Lana on the bed and was rummaging through all her drawers and cabs.


    Madison did not understand what he was searching for. She looked at Lana and went up to her side.


    "What are you looking for?"


    She asked. John stopped all his movements and closed his eyes, sighing. Maybe it was time, he told Madi everything about it.


    It was because of this that he had sold Tinsley out to Kian. He could notpromise it with his sister''s health.


    "Lana is sick!"


    He said and Madi remained silent, standing beside the bed listening to him in quietness.


    "You will never tell her!"


    Her voice rang inside his head as he was about to let it all out. He knew that by doing so, he was going to get more on the bad side with his sister than he could ever get.


    She made him take a swear that he would not tell anyone. The sickness had been going on for over a year now and every treatment had really not caused any kind of improvement so far.


    "She had stomach cancer!"


    A loud gasp passed out of Madi''s mouth. John turned back to look at her. His sister was peacefully sleeping on the bed after losing her consciousness.


    She had been diagnosed way before and did multiple treatments. She had to leave her modelling career to get the chemotherapy done.


    When she came across Madison, it was luck by chance. Never in her dream, Lana thought that they could be together again yet when it happened, she had asked her brother to not tell anyone about her sickness.


    John was against it but when she requested him of the remaining few times she had, she wanted to live with Madison, being in love and happy.


    John ended up narrating everything to Madison. How it had started and how all treatments were ongoing.


    She had been lying to Madison about going to fashion shows, or modelling. She had been going to her treatment and therapy during those times.


    And then it made sense to Madison why every time, she would urge to go with her to her fashion show, Lana would deny her saying that she was fine.


    What hurts the most was, she was juggling between life and death and being with her when Madi ended all of it by cheating on her.


    "It was why when Kian threatened me that he would show the photos to Delta...I ended up selling Tinsley out to him..."


    He concluded. Madi did not say one word and kept her mouth shut.


    "I know that it was selfish of me to do that...but I could not let Lana know what I did...what we did just like that in her condition..."


    He looked down, shamed of himself...his action. His strength...so shallow for losing it and betraying his own little sister, his only family.


    "Yet we ended hurting her!"


    Madison deduced, looking up at him...into his eyes.

 Chapter 210 - ONE USUAL MORNING...

    PRECAP


    He tilted his head to the side and saw her. His grey pairs peeking into her evergreen forest ones.


    "Finally found you!"


    He smirked and it ran shivers down her spine when he said that the way he said it...the noises in the background seemed to have faded as she could only listen, and hear to his sayings in a loop...


    "Finally found you!!"


    As if there was no escaping from him anymore. He found her. He found her daughter and he was not going to let them go this time...that easily for sure!


    ________________________________________________


    "If you do not calm down, I can''t tell you why I did what I did!"


    John yelled, whispered. She was being a goddamn stubborn woman, not giving him one second to exin his reasons.


    "I do not want to even listen why...why you do it?? You just wrecked the entire ship and none of your reasons would validate the fact that it is sinking now...it already had perhaps..."


    Madi interrupted him. John sighed, he knew the intensity of the damage. But they would not be able to prevent the uing dangers if they did not talk.


    "Listening to your justification here, he might have already reached her, standing on her door, about to knock and the shock that she would have...it will be all on you, John Kravinshly!"


    Madi used him as if he had done the most hideous crime.


    ________________________________________________


    It was another same old day for Tinsley as she got ready to wake up from thefort of her very warm andfy bed.


    These days, she had been sleeping like a bull. She would be out the moment her body would hit the mattress after reaching home from her shift in the diner.


    Her pregnancy had entered the six-month course and now she could see how hard things were getting day by day.


    Her bulged out belly was visible to everyone. Her old clothes did not fit her anymore. She had already asked Jessica to outstretch the stitches and she had outgrown them too.


    She had been thinking to go to the shop and grabbing a few different clothes, maternity dresses.


    She had been saving money for the delivery and at the same time, paying the loan off in the small amount every week.


    It was hard to afford everything by her own self. Running the household, paying for the food, water, electricity bill, and other expenses...added to the pregnancy and its new expenditure.


    Even after all that she was notining. She would be willing to do it all over again just to have her baby girl growing inside of her.


    These past few days, since the starting of the six months, she had been feeling minute kicks here and there and it was such a miraculous and joyous experience for her.


    She would talk, touching her bump and would get an answer from her angel through a kick.


    It was as if she understood what her mother was telling her about from the inside.


    Jessica was the first person to feel it and Bethany was the second. They were both so delighted.


    Even though it was nothing new for Beth. She had been through it and told how things were going to get more difficult now with the kicking bing regr.


    And indeed it was the truth now. She would get her baby girl kicking so hard in times when she would not expect at all and it would leave her aching from inside and outside.


    A lot of times, while serving, she had broken too many tes and sses because of the uncertain kicks and got to hear loads from her manager.


    Bethany always came to her rescue and it was helpful. Now her pregnancy bing heavier and intense than before, she had stopped doing overtime in the bakery to do double shifts in the diner.


    "Good morning, Ava dolly!"


    She patted her belly and felt no kicks. She could tell her angel was sound asleep inside.


    She smiled and got off the bed. It had been like that. She hade to know the routine or periods when the kicks were intense.


    In the morning times, it would be very less but it would get more frequent during the noon and evening periods.


    She headed inside the bathroom and took a quick shower and brushed her teeth.


    Peeling her nightclothes off from her body, she stared at her reflection in the mirror hanging on the wall at the front.


    Her slim figure had bid her farewell long ago. Her breasts were so heavy and sensitive. Her nipples which were rosy pink in colour were darker in shades than before.


    A few times, she had spotted milk spurting out of it...a few drops when she would squeeze it.


    All these feelings, these new-look her body was having were everything new to her.


    Her belly was so bigger than before. She could no more look past her belly to her crotch anymore.


    She had given up on shaving long ago. She could not see beyond her belly while standing up, it was just next to impossible.


    Her hips had gotten wider than before, her thighs were thicker. She would constantly have this backache and swelling feet but those were all normal.


    The doctor advised her to massage her feet with oil. There was no one to do it for her. A few times, Jessica offered but she had no heart to tire up the old woman anymore.


    She had been doing enough by cooking her meals two times a day. She would feed her healthy, home-cooked meals and Tinsley was more than d because returning home after work and to cook was very tiring.


    She essed her body from top to bottom. She had this unusual feeling of heat. She knew what it was.


    She was being hormonal and the sexual drive would intensify but there was no one for her...she had no partner.


    In times like these, she would remember him unlikely and unwillingly but her damn horny mind would make her dream of the things he did to her body and she would get so wet down there.


    She had had so many wet dreams. Bethany had advised her to masturbate. At first, she was shy and ashamed of herself.


    She had never been sexual the way she was with Kian before. He had opened for her a whole new world of pleasure.


    Things that he had done to her...she had been craving it more than ever by then. It was not right for her to think that way, not think of him after what he had done to her...yet her horny, hormonal self could not help but wonder.


    The other few nights ago, she had opened up a porn video. Bethany had sent her the link to help her get off.


    She was so embarrassed, her cheeks were flushed watching on-screen people doing things she and Kian did so privately.


    She could not help but think how he had taken her in all the positions. When in the beginning, she was shy butter she became confident and bold around him.


    She was not sure if she should give in to her desires. She was worried about her baby girl learning dirty things that she should not and Bethanyughed at her the entire day for such a goddamn excise.


    A few days back, she had finally sat in with herptop and legs spread for action. She was already so wet from all the pent up desires and needs.


    When she poked in one finger inside, she felt so full, two in and she felt herself being stretched...


    Not having any sexual intercourse for months made her tighter. When her mind thought of him...how much it would ache her to amodate him back in that moment, she came within the sh of a second.


    It only took for her to see his face...his goddamn face in her mind to let herself loose.


    It had been ever since, a nightly ritual to satiate her hunger before going to bed. Her sensitive nipples were like a direct antenna to her core.


    Getting off from the shower, drying her body off, wearing the maxi back on, she could not help but think how if or not he would find her desirable or not at this moment...would any man even want her??


    That was this insecurity about her body that made her self conscious. She knew that her body was changing yet she could not feel confident anymore about herself.


    She heated up the pa fromst night, took a toast and milk. She sat down to eat her breakfast and then consume her daily supplement pills.


    Suddenly, her doorbell went on, she stood up, not expecting anyone at the moment.


    Holding her belly bump, she put on her furry coat as outside, it was cold. She opened the door and her face lost all her colours.

 Chapter 211 - EXCUSE US!

    PRECAP


    He was left with no choice but to take this path. He had spent near to million so far, trying to get ahold of his wife yet could not find one information about her because someone big was helping in keeping her hidden.


    And who could it be?? If not John Kravinshky himself... He hadnded his own jet for Tinsley to get away and used his sources to seal her identity from every source...banking, shopping, etc.


    "Tell me where is my wife and your sister will not have to know the truth that his brother is fucking her girlfriend behind her back!"


    ________________________________________________


    "Lana is sick!"


    He said and Madi remained silent, standing beside the bed listening to him in quietness.


    "You will never tell her!"


    Her voice rang inside his head as he was about to let it all out. He knew that by doing so, he was going to get more on the bad side with his sister than he could ever get.


    She made him take a swear that he would not tell anyone. The sickness had been going on for over a year now and every treatment had really not caused any kind of improvement so far.


    "She had stomach cancer!"


    ________________________________________________


    Suddenly, her doorbell went on, she stood up, not expecting anyone at the moment.


    Holding her belly bump, she put on her furry coat as outside, it was cold. She opened the door and her face lost all her colours.


    "Ma''am, your policy is due!"


    The postman handed her the file of her loan. And asked her to sign on the delivery list.


    She huffed, signing it off with the pen he had offered. She was sceptical about this thing.


    She had not paid the instalment for two months now to save money for the big day and ever since she had been getting calls after calls and emails from the bank to pay her instalment off.


    She knew, expecting that one day or the other day, they were going to visit her ce and she was just afraid that what if she ended up with nothing if they decided to seize everything she owned??


    It was just her wildest worry. After being kicked out of houses for this very reason so many reasons, fear had been ingrained in herself.


    She thought she might have to ask for that help, Madi and Lana were offering her off, paying the loan off.


    She was reluctant at first but looking at the situation now and the babying in four months, she had no choice.


    She could not do overtime either to earn a double due to her condition. She always felt so tired every time and even the employer would not allow her to work double either in times like these.


    "Hey, sugar palm!"


    Tin was about to close the door when she heard Jessica calling her back. She turned around to face her.


    "Take this potato mash I just made. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates and you need it!"


    Jessica handed her the ss bowl, containing the mashed potato. Tin thanked the old woman. She had been such a great help to her.


    "Did you get this strange ck coat guy knocking at your door??"


    Jessica asked. Since yesterday, weirdly uniform guys had been knocking on the doors of every house in the neighbourhood and the next one in line requesting for a house check.


    Tinsley shook in her head in negative. She had been out at the bakery working, the whole day yesterday.


    "They had been requesting to take a look around the house and then just leave."


    It made Tinsley furthermore conscious what if the bank people woulde looking for her like that and she would be so embarrassed in front of the entire neighbourhood.


    "Did they say anything?"


    She implored, trying to pry out answers from the olddy who thought for a while before replying that they said nothing in particr.


    "You look worried. What is it, honey?"


    Jessica noticed the lines of tension on her forehead and questioned her. Tinsley sighed, deciding that what more was there to hide about. Jessica almost knew everything about her life here.


    "The loan I took from the bank, I have put the house in as the coteral and I could not pay the instalment for two months...I have been getting their endless calls and emails...today, they had handed me a notice and I m worried what if theye for the house...what if those ck jacket uniform men are from the bank?"


    Tinsley let out, nervously. Jessica understood her reasons for worrying. Banks were very stiff about the repayment of their loans.


    "Do not take too much stress sugar palm, you will figure a way out and the bank would not just snatch your house away from you...you are with a child after all."


    Jessica opined and Tinsley nodded. The bank would not give a damn about the fact that she had been carrying a child...they never did.


    The world was about money and if you did not have it enough, you could not do much about it...it would not let you live the way you want.


    Having faced such situations too many times, the trauma had be a part of her life by now.


    She closed the door and took a sit on the sofa, opening up the letter to read it. Her eyes watered, running over the words on the letter.


    Every time, she felt like she had been doing right, not depending upon others for things, situations wouldnd her in times where she would have no options but to kneel and beg for help from the others.


    Could it be why Madi always suggested to not bring a child if she was not financially stable at first??


    It made sense to her now. There was just so many expenses she had to think about. Not to mention having babies were just too expensive in the states.


    She rubbed her tears off and took her phone to give a call to Madison. She knew that Madi would never say anything but she was just so tired from asking for her help.


    She had no idea when and how she was ever going to repay Madi and Lana. The ring went on and no one picked it up. She dropped the phone on the sofa beside her after dialling for five times straight.


    She wondered what had happened for Madi to not answer her call even for once. Perhaps she was busy? But in the very morning, it did not make sense.


    She got up to get ready for work but her stomach grumbled and she forgot that she had not eaten her breakfast yet.


    The milk had gotten cold long ago. And she hated to eat cold food. She stomped on her feet like a child, getting irritated and walked up to the stove to reheat everything.


    These days being over sensitive and over hormonal was not helping her condition either.


    She would get annoyed and irritated at the simplest of things. Get angry at anyone in the workce although she tried her best to keep it to herself but could not help it when a few days ago, it broke into a fight with the newbie teenage girl who was ring at her pregnant belly with disgust. Bethany came for her rescue at the end.


    People assumed her to have been knocked by some random dude only because she looked young but she was twenty-two of age already. She was a fucking adult.


    As she reheated her food and gotfortable on her chair to eat. The only moment, she liked was eating food.


    It was always something she liked to do yet had been restricted in her youthful times but now, she was free to do anything at her will.


    It made her think about her maternal side grandma, Cecily. If she was still alive, could she not go and ask for help from her once her baby girl was here??


    It seemed like a n, she could rely on. After all, she was the only grandchild from her mother''s side even though they never had a good rtionship with them after her father cut all the ties in a nasty fight, she had no idea what it was about.


    She moaned at the taste of the mashed potato. Eating with a mouth full, she closed her eyes, savouring the food and the doorbell went off. She red, getting up to answer it.


    Opening it, she came to face with those suit-d men that Jessica had been talking about in the morning, just a while ago.


    "Good morning ma''am..."


    "Listen...I m going to pay the instalment right away in fact, I was on my way to the bank...just please, please, this is my only house...please!"


    She did not let the menplete and started with her pleading after swallowing the solid food down her throat.


    "We are not..."


    "Just give me a second to put my clothes on and I will go with you guys..."


    "Excuse us, Robert!"

 Chapter 212 - IM NOT LETTING YOU GO AGAIN!

    "Did you get this strange ck coat guy knocking at your door??"


    Jessica asked. Since yesterday, weirdly uniform guys had been knocking on the doors of every house in the neighbourhood and the next one in line requesting for a house check.


    Tinsley shook in her head in negative. She had been out at the bakery working, the whole day yesterday.

    She did not let the menplete and started with her pleading after swallowing the solid food down her throat.


    "We are not..."


    The two men wanted to correct her for wrongly identifying them yet Tinsley was too gone, too anxious to even give them a moment to speak out


    "Just give me a second to put my clothes on and I will go with you guys..."


    "Excuse us, Robert!"


    She said quickly and turned around to get dressed inside but stopped when she heard that voice...that voice...the person who was behind it.


    Her heart raced as she heard the footstep walking forward and the men on her doorstep stepping aside. She did not dare to turn back around.


    Could she be hallucinating? Overthinking again? Missing him too much?? Hearing voices??


    "How have you been wife?"


    She skipped a breath on hearing him again. He was here...he was here! That was all her mind kept screaming to her.


    Kian stood on the threshold, his guards standing either side. He had not yet seen her...and he was dying to finally let his eyes fall over her beautiful face...his very bony wife.


    He had spent a total of three days ining here, in a whole new state, a wholly new city.


    John...that bastard, only gave him the state name. He had to find the rest all by himself. He worked his ass with his private investigator, day and night, waking up for three straight days to get ahold of her.


    Sending his guards knocking from door to door to look out for her without a word because he was afraid what if she tried to run away again and the fear...the constant fear that she had been alerted by Madison already.


    "Won''t you even grace your husband with your pretty eyes?"


    He implored. He was desperate at this point, being so close to her after so many months...He had gone crazy without her.


    Tinsley was in the midst of a battle in her mind whether or not to turn around??


    She still could not believe upon if it was real?? If for real she was not daydreaming again??


    The only way to confirm it was to turn around and see what did. A low gasp passed out of her mouth when their eyes interlocked.


    Kian was in awe for ultimately being able to see her. Oh! How much he had missed looking at that face! He thought.


    She still looked the same. Her evergreen eyes were still so bright and lively. He remembered getting lost in them and he was doing the same right away.


    Tinsley could not move from her spot. He was here...he was here for real and she had no idea what to do and what not to do?


    Should she run?? Or should she close the door?? Should she not recognize him??


    There were so many ''should she'' and none of it seemed viable. She did not know when it happened, how he walked so fast and up to where she was standing.


    He could not hold it in him. He climbed up the stairs and strode forward to embrace her in his arms.


    He pulled her towards his body in a snap. He was reckless in his movements. He just wanted to feel her...he needed to inhale her scent, that familiar feminine scent of her that he was addicted to.


    He hugged her to his chest, closing his eyes, hiding his face in the crook of her neck.


    He missed her soft body pasted against him. It was at this point, he had realized how much miserable he had been without her.


    ________________________________________________


    Seven-year-old Tinsley ran around the green field, shouting at the flying away butterfly.


    He watched her behind the bushes, hiding to not get caught by her caretaker who did not like him ying around with her.


    "I m not going to harm you, butterfly Queen!"


    She spoke to herself and very slowly leaned down to pick the fly upon her forefinger.


    "I m just asking you to go and call Kian for me. I m waiting for him toe to y with me. Will you deliver the message??"


    She whispered near the antenna of the butterfly. Kian could not help smile at her silliness.


    She was the sunlight in his bleak life. The school was hard and being bullied by everyone for being the gardener''s son was hurtful.


    He was neglected by his ssmates, discriminated against for being poor with no father.


    And here she was, the daughter of the owner, herself, who would not look at him the way everyone else did...with the eyes of disgust.


    She saw him like any other kid. Yet things had changed now...earlier he only viewed her as his ying partner, a friend.


    Buttely, he had been seeing her in apletely different light. He was changing...his body was changing, he was growing. His voice had changed, his arms had broadened, he was taller than before.


    The summer had changed so many things. Her red hairs had grown longer, she had added weight yet she was slim as always.


    He felt so wrong to stare at her in that way but he could not help himself. Hiding behind the bush, he did not know how toe to her without being a weirdo.


    Tinsley let the butterfly fly off. She had thought she would find him here, working in the field with his mother.


    It had been six months since shest visited the countryside manor. There was no n toe here again...she had missed him so much.


    She was promised to someone named Josh, her father had dered it to herst winter.


    Her father was away on a business trip and so her mother bought her here along with that Josh...she hated his guts.


    On the road, she was so excited to see him again and on reaching the manor, she ran away straight to the backyard to see him.


    Looking around the vast field, the sun shining bright up the head, she sighed, upset that he was not here. She was about to turn around when someone crawled out of the bush.


    "Boo!" He hopped out, scarring her and she let out a scream of terror.


    On seeing him, she ran up to him and he lifted her up. She was taken aback by it. He had grown stronger and so taller.


    He rotated her around as if she weighed nothing and she could not help letting out the soft giggles.


    "I missed you!"


    "I missed you too!"


    He stopped spinning and let her on her feet, hugging her close to his body. He felt electric shocks rushing through his entire body.


    "The fuck you are doing hugging a servant! Get in here before I call your father!"


    Josh''s voice made her stick out from Kian''s arm. She gave him a small smile and turned around to leave.


    Kian was so jealous...it was a new feeling, one he had never felt before. He was angry at this new guy. Who was he again??


    Josh rolled his eyes at her and red at Kian. Tinsley very meekly followed behind him but stopped on her track when Josh was out of the fence. She turned around and ran back to Kian. He held her up.


    "I m not leaving you ever again!"


    She mumbled and he nodded, holding her so tight to him as if he was not going to let her go again.


    ________________________________________________


    "I m not letting you go again!"


    Kian whispered, near her ears, remembering those beautiful days they both had shared together.


    His hold on her got tighter. He tried to pull her body closer to his as if he ever could.


    But there was something in between them that was stopping him from doing so. He tried once again and parted away to see what it was and his mind was blown away when he saw what he saw...a full look at his dear wife!

    Josh rolled his eyes at her and red at Kian. Tinsley very meekly followed behind him but stopped on her track when Josh was out of the fence. She turned around and ran back to Kian. He held her up.


    "I m not leaving you ever again!"


    She mumbled and he nodded, holding her so tight to him as if he was not going to let her go again.


    ________________________________________________


    His eyes took in her entire frame, from head to toes.


    She was wearing a knee-length maxi dress, a coat over the shoulder. Her hair was tied in a messy bun. There were traces of food in the corner of her mouth.


    She was having her breakfast when he had decided to knock at her door. He realized that.


    What caught more of his attention was that bulged out belly of hers!


    On feeling his eyes over her womb, she got conscious. She tried to hide herself with the furry coat, pulling its end to tie the knots up but Kian stopped her.


    He held her both wrists, stopping her from doing so. He could not believe what his eyes were seeing.


    He had remembered about her informing about her pregnancy. He also could recall the fact where she told him about the miscarriage from his ignorance which he chose to not believe her at that time.


    But he had seen the footage...the video on the CCTV how she had lost their child in their bedroom,te in the midnight.


    He had also checked in with the hospital where she went to in the morning for cleaning up.


    Then how could it be possible?? How could she be pregnant...very pregnant to be at that?? Carrying a child?


    His hands shivered as he made contact with her belly. She bit on her lips, trying not to let out any voices. She was herself shocked at the situation.


    He felt it...felt the movement from inside. Her angle, Ava, chose that moment to kick in. Tinsley gasped and that made Kian look up at her.


    His eyes...they were both astonished and excited at the same time. She could not understand the kind of emotion he was reflecting.


    His eyes watered, feeling the kicks, the movement of his child...their child, growing inside of her.


    He felt like the entire time to have gone frozen, finally realizing that his wife, his beautiful wife was carrying their child...their first baby together.


    Tinsley could not tell what exactly was going inside his head. He kept staring at her bump, running his hands over the maxi, as if he was amazed to feel something he had never ever felt in his life.


    He felt a sudden race in his emotions...he could not describe the way he felt at that moment.


    Today, this day, after being so miserable for months, first look at her and she had made him the happiest man he could ever be.


    And he had no idea, no clue how to thank her, how to apologise to her for all the pain he had caused her...yet going ahead and making him feel the most happiest moment of a man...the feeling when you know, you are to be a father.


    He pulled her closer and mmed his lips against hers. She was caught off guard as she stepped backwards and he strode forward, matching her steps.


    She tried to moan out in protest but got trapped in between the wall and his firm body.


    The kiss was from his side...full of so many emotions. She could not breathe as he thrust his tongue inside of her intoxicating mouth, squeezing on her waist the moment he got the chance.


    "Fuck! You have no idea..."


    He spoke out, in between the kiss. He was so engrossed in her that he did not notice to hear her faint groans of protest.


    "...how you have made me the happiest man of all right now!"


    Tinsley could not figure out what he meant by that. She tried to pry out from his hold by pushing him away through his shoulder. He did not budge.


    He was not letting her go, not now or ever again. She was carrying their child...his child. She was going to be the mother of their baby and he was never ever making the mistake of letting her go, not even when she would protest.


    When he finally left her lips free. She sighed in relief but got a heart attack the next moment on what he just said.


    "Let''s go back. I m not letting you stay here anymore while carrying my child."


    He uttered, looking around the small studio house. He held onto her wrist, about to drag her out with him but Tinsley pushed him off.


    "What the hell!?"


    He shockingly yelled, totally not expecting that move from her. He closed his eyes, trying to calm down his temper. He knew that she was angry with him and things were not that simple anymore.


    She would need more than just amand to go with him...he was all ready to persuade her, sugar coat his words even when he hated to do so but he was ready for the sake of his child.


    He could not let her live here anymore. He was going to take her back home and they were going to have this baby together like a normal married couple.


    He was ready at this point to let go of the past. At this point, he was ready to forget about the hideous truth that she was the reason behind his mother''s death and their separation...all for the sake of this unborn child...his baby growing inside of her.


    "I m noting with you..."


    "Look...I know, I did a mistake and..."


    He interrupted her. Sheposed herself, knowing that they were having a misunderstanding here...once again, him thinking that she was carrying his child...their baby together when she was not.


    "You asked me if I was ready to forget the past and walk with you to the future...I m giving you the answer.


    I m ready! I m all ready to walk with you to the future...forget everything and move forward with you and our unborn child..."


    "Stop...stop right there!"


    Tinsley spoke over, not letting him finish his words. Kian peeked at her with hopeful and expectant eyes that she would find it in her heart to forgive him...forget everything.


    "It''s not... it''s not your..."


    "Please! Tinsley...I beg of you to not part me from this happiness...I have caused you pain, hurt and whatnot...but please..."


    "Will you fucking stop and listen to me once??"


    She screamed out, trying to get him to listen to her and stop intruding on her every time she tried to clear this cloud of misunderstanding.


    "It''s not your child...It is not! She is mine!"


    And all he heard was the voice of a possessive, protective mother to be, a wife, who was angry at her husband for being ignorant and causing her to hurt.


    "It is not your baby! It is mine."


    Tinsley spoke out, encircling her bump with both her hands, in a protective manner and soon enough, the nket of the silence was broken by his thickugher, that erupted out from him.


    He could not stop himself fromughing out loud at her silliness. How could she be pregnant if it was not for him??


    "Common! Don''t be silly now baby! I know you are angry at me..."


    "I m not kidding. It is not yours, she is mine!!"


    Tinsley stretched and he red at her yfully. She did not flinch. He tried to move towards her but she raised her hands up, stopping him.


    "Fine!! Then how could you be pregnant if it''s not my baby??"


    Kian questioned, trying to put some sense in his silly wife''s head who was just being stubborn and ignorant.


    "I can...and she is not yours. She is fucking mine!!"


    Tinsley yelled thest part, getting annoyed. He had never seen her in such a form. He was running out of patience, yet he tried very hard not to break out. The situation was very fragile and he did not want to ruin his chances for good.


    "Then who fucked you if not me?? Who puts that baby in you? If not me?"

 Chapter 214 - NOT ANYONES BUT ONLY MINE...

    PRECAP


    "I fucking can''t...still do not know how I m breathing in the same room as her, every time this guilt... it''s eating me away yet all I can think of is wanting to do it again...I just want to kill myself..."


    And John held her fists, stopping her and pulling her close to his body, not letting herplete that word...he just could not let her...he could not imagine her dead...


    "I love you!"


    She looked up at him, peeling her temple off from his. Her ears could not believe what she just heard.


    A gasp left Lana''s mouth. She enclosed her mouth with her hands from breaking loose on seeing what she was seeing.


    ________________________________________________


    He felt it...felt the movement from inside. Her angle, Ava, chose that moment to kick in. Tinsley gasped and that made Kian look up at her.


    His eyes...they were both astonished and excited at the same time. She could not understand the kind of emotion he was reflecting.


    His eyes watered, feeling the kicks, the movement of his child...their child, growing inside of her.


    He felt like the entire time to have gone frozen, finally realizing that his wife, his beautiful wife was carrying their child...their first baby together.


    ________________________________________________


    "I m not kidding. It is not yours, she is mine!!"


    Tinsley stretched and he red at her yfully.


    "Fine!! Then how could you be pregnant if it''s not my baby??"


    Kian questioned, trying to put some sense in his silly wife''s head who was just being stubborn and ignorant.


    "I can...and she is not yours. She is fucking mine!!"


    Tinsley yelled thest part, getting annoyed.


    "Then who fucked you if not me?? Who puts that baby in you? If not me?"


    Kian argued and Tinsley did not exactly know how to answer that question from him. He eyed her, expecting an answer.


    "It''s not yours!"


    It was what came out of her mouth and for a moment there, it made Kian think what if she had moved on...and the child was not his??


    She kept saying it was not his...and she kept her eyes straight at him. His heartbeat started racing thinking of all the possibilities and how it could really be not his child that she was carrying...


    And the sudden injection of jealousy was injected inside his veins, coursing through his blood all over his body as he could not bear the thought of her...his wifeying with another man...a man that was not him...and getting impregnated by it.


    He was someway holding himself back...how he had no idea. His hands curled into a fist as disturbing images of herying with an unknown man reflected inside his mind.


    "Who''s?"


    She did not get him the first time he asked. His eyes were bloodshot red, turning into the darker shades as the second passed by.


    "Who''s is it??"


    He asked again, trying very hard not tounch himself upon her and shake her body for even daring to go against him and carrying another man''s child...when he, her husband was very much alive.


    "Who the fuck is it??"


    He yelled at her and it shook her at his sudden outburst. It was then she understood him but did not know how to break it to him.


    "Nobody...nobody''s."


    She answered and he could not perceive the fact that how she was lying to him, standing so straight and peeking right into his eyes.


    Had she be so distasted of him...her husband?


    Had she not imed that she used to love him once upon a time?


    He knew that, and he had realized that he had done mistakes..mitted errors that ended up hurting her, his impulsive actions, his short-tempered nature all had culminated into a big bullock that ended up straining his marriage...their marriage.


    But the months of separation had made him think and understand that it was not that he was all saint and she was the devil in their rtionship.


    Even if there was a strain in the past, he was willing to look past it by then for all these months, being angry, holding onto that past faith had only made him miserable and not to mention how much be had missed her...how much he regretted for not being there for her that night.


    And here,ing to know that he was close to her...he had formed so many pre pictures of her reaction to seeing him for the first after such a long separation...some were pleasant and some were not. Yet he was so excited to see her, finally get his hands on her.


    But none of it prepared him toe face to face with such a truth. That by the time, he would have found her, it would be toote...sote that she would have broken their wedding vows, even though there was none in the condition they had gotten married back in the papers before the pop in the holy alter...still the marriage was real...for him, after all these months.


    He did not bother asking her anymore and just walked past her, trying to check out who was this bastard for even daring to look at his wife...more so going forward and impregnating her...


    "What the hell are you doing??"


    Tinsley questioned, in panic as she saw him walking around the small studio house like a madman in search.


    He was looking for any belonging that was that bastard''s...the man with whom his wife had decided to break their marriage.


    He strode inside her bedroom and ran his eyes over the nook and corner of the small room. Searched for any possession that belonged to a man, shuffled all her clothes in the mini cupboard, checked the bathroom.


    "What are you even doing??"


    Tinsley tried to stop him from rummaging through all her stuff. He pped away her hands all the time, she would try to hold him back but did not push her off too hard, knowing her condition.


    It was then, his gazes fell over the file that contained the name of her donor. It was lying along with her medical reports.


    He held that paper up and Tinsley noticed it. He only could read the name when she snatched the sheet away from his hold.


    "So this is it??? We fight and you run away and spread your legs for that Bam...fucking hell!!"


    He kicked off the chair on the way, shocking Tinsley at his sudden outburst. She crumbled the piece of paper, slipping it inside her maxi pocket.


    "How could you?? How could you cheat on me...did you not love me as you have always imed??"


    He asked her, thest part as if he had finally felt how a real defeat in the war felt like.


    A teardrop resting on the edge of his grey eyes as he questioned her. He knew that he had lost all his rights over her the moment he had pushed her away...too far now that wanting her back also seemed impossible.


    Tinsley shook her head. He was misunderstanding all of it again. He had not changed one bit...his nature of concluding all by himself.


    "I have not cheated!"


    She stated and he closed his eyes, not understanding why the hell, she was lying to his face even at this point.


    "Then how?? How do you exin your pregnancy??"


    He implored. A lone tear escaped from his right eye. And it made her feel a bit bad for him. She had never seen him that disturbed...the way he seemed right at that moment.


    "The fact that your husband is alive...in flesh and bones and yet his wife is carrying another man''s child...how M I supposed to feel about that, Tinsley??


    Fucking tell me how??"


    He screamed back, scarring her as she jerked backwards. She had hurt his manhood today and there was no going back now.


    To think that he was thinking of taking her back home with him, no matter the amount of persuasion needed...he was ready for it and that broke apart in the snap of a few minutes...all of it.


    "I have not cheated and I m carrying no man''s child...this is my child...my child, alone."


    Kian red at her for speaking nonsense. She sighed, not knowing how to make him understand in simple terms.


    "What are you?? Mother Marry?? Or Freya who can just get pregnant all by herself??"


    He mocked her, sitting down on the stool, tired of her denying the truth, not willing to confess it herself.


    Tinsley grabbed the medical reports and handed him the file. He looked at her first and then took it to read it.


    "I have taken onto the artificial insemination to get pregnant. "


    He looked up at her as she told him that. He read through the words as she narrated to him side by side.


    "So now you know, it''s not anyone''s baby but mine''s and only mine alone."


    She concluded and all of a sudden, he just shut the file and stormed out of her house...without a word or any reaction.

 Chapter 215 - IN THE HOSPITAL!

    PRECAP


    Lana is sick!"


    He said and Madi remained silent, standing beside the bed listening to him in quietness.


    "You will never tell her!"


    Her voice rang inside his head as he was about to tell everything to Madison. She had to leave her modelling career to get the chemotherapy done.


    John ended up narrating everything to Madison. She had been lying to Madison about going to fashion shows, or modelling. She had been going to her treatment and therapy during those times.


    And then it made sense to Madison why every time, she would urge to go with her to her fashion show, Lana would deny her saying that she was fine.


    What hurts the most was, she was juggling between life and death and being with her when Madi ended all of it by cheating on her.


    ________________________________________________


    The nurse swivelled the medicine table past by Madison, who was standing, leaning on the white hospital wall, waiting for the doctor to show up.


    They had to take Lana to her regr hospital as she did not gain her consciousness back after a while.


    It made John and Madi concerned and they immediately rushed her to the hospital, not wanting to take any risk


    Now, standing for a few minutes, outside the cabin as the doctor examined her inside.


    John was standing on the opposite side and smiled at her slightly when their eyes matched for a moment. Madison was quick at parting her gaze off and looking away.


    The doctor came out of the cabin and both Madi and John were quick to walk up to her.


    "She is fine for now. We have checked her all vitals, her health reports and there is a risk of her disease getting back to her..."


    The moment the doctor said that Madi''s heart came out of her mouth. John felt stressed too.


    They had already tackled it for about a year by then and how struggling and excruciating the entire journey had been for him and his sister. She almost went into depression and had anxiety attacks.


    Getting her to go for the treatment in the first ce was so hectic. She did not want to go through all that doctor check-ups, physiotherapy and radiations.


    John had to force her to do so. Earlier, she would deliberately miss her appointments and John had to drag her back even missing his works or sometimes in the middle of a damn meeting.


    After she and Madison got back together, she made him swear that he would not tell anything to Madi and in exchange, she would attend to her treatment without any question.


    That was the deal between the brother and the sister. And they had both abided by it so far until things changed.


    "We will conduct a few tests before we can confirm if it is back..."


    The doctor concluded. John was quick to step in once the doctor was done speaking.


    "And what if it is back??"


    "We cannot say anything right now, Mr Kravinshky. "


    The doctor shrugged, and it irritated John, wondering how could it be back after she had gone through all the treatment. It just did not make any sense. What was the use of the treatment then?


    "How could it be even back?? She went through all the treatments and it...it just does not make any sense...how??"


    John implored, worried for his sister''s health. He knew that the second time, Delta was not going to take the news well.


    "Well, still cannot say or assume anything yet, Mr Kravinshky until the test reports are out. And diseases like that could return in many cases...there is no guarantee that it will not."


    The doctor answered and excused herself out. John sighed and Madi had no words to let out.


    Soon, a nurse called them inside the cabin to have a look at Lana. John allowed Madison to go first.


    It was awkward and she was afraid how Lana would react. She knew that things could never ever be the same anymore after the truth was out in the air.


    She opened the door and saw the love of her life,ying on the bed with the oxygen mask on and a few machines beeping inside therge VIP cabin.


    The remaining nurses left the room to give them privacy. Very cautiously, Madison walked up to the bed and waited for Lana to open her eyes.


    She had no idea what she was going to say to her, with what face. She had betrayed her trust, their love. Nothing could ever justify her doings...


    "Madi?? Is that you??"


    Lana inquired, with half-opened eyes. She could only see a little, blurry vision of the person standing before her bed.


    Madison nodded and got near the bed. Lana held her hand out which she held back and took a sit on the stool nearby.


    "What is wrong with me??"


    Lana implored, opening her eyes fully this time. Madison was a bit taken aback by how she was talking to her so nicely without getting angry at what she had done before.


    "You fainted and we bought you to the hospital...here!"


    Madison replied, running her fingers through Lana''s thick blonde hair. Lana hummed.


    "We?? Is my brother here??"


    Madi nodded and it was at that moment, John chose to get in too. He was anxious about how might she react to seeing him but then when she did not say anything at all and saw how Madi was sitting close to her, he stepped inside.


    "Brother!"


    Lana greeted in her small, smiling at John. And it was weird for both duos to see her reacting as if nothing had happened before...as if she did not know the truth or forgot it?


    But after their little conversation, it was clear that Lana had chosen to forget the truth...the bitter revtions for the time being from getting hard too much.


    John left shortly after, for not being able to stand there and watch his innocent sister after what he had done.


    Madison could not leave her side. She sat with her throughout the day. Lana whined about going back home but until the tests were done, she could not go to anywhere.


    The four tests that were given, made her so tired. Later, Madi helper her eat her lunch and dinner soon after. They had to stay back for the night. John left in the evening.


    Meanwhile back in the house, Madi''s phone kept ringing. It was Tinsley. She had been trying to reach Madison after the whole drama that she had undergone.


    She had so many questions as to why and how Kian came to know about her. From where did he get to know where she lived when John said that no way he could ever find out unless he let him so.


    It made so many questions to arise in Tinsley''s mind that it was running wild. She could not yet process everything that had happened so far.


    After he had left, a day had gone by and there was no sign of him. Not that she was looking forward to his arrival but she did not know what he was going to do that he now knew everything about her.


    She held her bump protectively afraid of what Kian might do now that he knew about her little Ava?


    She was also annoyed that nobody was answering her phone calls or texts. Madison was missing in action, so was Lana and her brother.


    She dropped it thinking perhaps they could all have been busy. She waited for them to reach her back but it never happened.


    Back at home to collect some of Lana''s belongings, John noticed Madi''s phone and all the missed calls and texts from Tinsley.


    It was a sign that Kian had reached her and Tinsley was calling Madison to find out how Kian knew and also for help? Could it be not?


    He was a bit guilty of ruining her golden chance of separating from her overbearing husband as Madison had used him of.


    But he was helpless here as he had said before. He could not let his sister find out the truth from Kian although things did turn up in a very bad way.


    The doctor had told him that Lana could be having some internal memory short term loss. She would be fine in a few days.


    It was that made him concerned about what would happen next?? Not to mention the tension of the tests turning positive.


    He just collected a few of her clothes, her toiletries and grabbed Madison''s phone to give it to her.


    He did not know with what face, he was ever going to show up at Tinsley''s or even a few days from now, could he match eyes with his own sister after what he had done??

 Chapter 216 - SOME BAD NEWS!

    PRECAP


    "What is wrong with me??"


    Lana implored, opening her eyes fully this time. Madison was a bit taken aback by how she was talking to her so nicely without getting angry at what she had done before.


    "You fainted and we bought you to the hospital...here!"


    Madison replied, running her fingers through Lana''s thick blonde hair. Lana hummed.


    "We?? Is my brother here??"


    Madi nodded and it was at that moment, John chose to get in too. He was anxious about how might she react to seeing him but then when she did not say anything at all and saw how Madi was sitting close to her, he stepped inside.


    "Brother!"


    Lana greeted in her small, smiling at John. And it was weird for both duos to see her reacting as if nothing had happened before...as if she did not know the truth or forgot it?


    ________________________________________________


    Madi woke from her deep slumber when she heard the door opening. In came, John with a duffle bag and got case tiffin.


    Madison sat upright. She had beenying on the edge of Lana''s bed, sitting on the stool near the bed.


    He handed her a phone, taking it out of his pants pocket. Madison thanked him in a whisper and kept the phone aside.


    "She is sleeping."


    He said, looking over at his sister who was sleeping peacefully. Madison told him that she was under medication.


    "I bought a homemadette. You can have it from the sk. There is a paper cup in there."


    He offered. Madison went to the attached washroom to get freshened up and when she returned, John had poured her the cup oftte. She thanked him.


    "Did they carry out all the tests?"


    He asked and Madi nodded, sipping a little from her paper cup. Last night had been tiring with leading Lana to help her take all the tests.


    "She was all good but thest one drained her all the energy. She was not to eat anything so it exhausted her."


    Madi borated. John sighed. With that being said, there was nothing more to talk about.


    "Oh, and you might want to check your phone. Tinsley had been calling you."


    John remembered. Madison closed her eyes and picked her cell up. Swiping it unlock, she saw the numbers of missed calls and texts from Tinsley. Not to mention, a few were from Kian too.


    "What is it?"


    John implored Madison did not bother saying it to him anything and was about to walk out and check up on Tinsley but the door hung opened and in came the doctor with the nurse.


    "Morning, Mr Kravinshky! Miss Maria."


    She greeted them both and Madi kept her phone aside as they got ready to hear about the test reports of Lana.


    All they could hope for at that it was not back again. She kept her fingers crossed and looked over at Lana, who was still sleeping.


    "If you want, we can talk in my office?"


    The doctor offered when she followed Madi''s gaze. John shrugged it off.


    "I think we are fine here if the news is all good..."


    "I m afraid it is not, Mr Kravinshky."


    The doctor interrupted John right away and it made both him and Madi peek at into the eyes of each other, anxiously.


    "And worry not, Ms Lana will not wake up for another hour. She had been sedatedst night. "


    Both Madi and John signalled the doctor to go on with dering the test results. The nurse handed her the file.


    "It is back. I m sorry to state that, Mr Kravinshky."


    The doctor kept her words straight and forward, without wasting any of their time.


    A small gasp left Madison''s mouth and John closed his eyes, disappointed. The doctor continued, further.


    "We will have to put Ms Lana back on her previous medications and treatment. ording to the report, this time, the infection is a bit serious. If not recovered with the current treatments, then I suggest of surgery and a possible organ transnt. "


    The Doctor concluded and Madison almost lost her bnce if not for John holding her steady, standing beside her.


    "I know it is too much information for anyone in a time. But with the limited time that we have, acting on it will result in us well...and I will urge you, Mr Kravinsky to start looking for a donor that is matching with your sister. "


    John nodded. He was going to get his sister through this too. He internally promised himself.


    He was just upset that thest moment they had before her sickness was of her discovering about the grave betrayal that he had caused her of.


    "Stomach transnts are risky and very rare, Mr Kravinshky. If not for you is a wealthy man, I would have not rmended it to anyone at all. Finding a match is just the very hardest part here so I will suggest for you to start looking for it sooner thanter."


    The doctor advised. With that saying, they were possibly going to test Lana more and so she would have to stay back in.


    Once the doctor was out, alone tear spurted out from Madi''s eyes as she nced over at her girlfriend.


    She was so good. She was too good, naive and innocent at heart, why did she have to suffer like that?


    "Hey? Madison...everything is going to be fine. We will get through this together. "


    He held her hands in his and she broke down, trying to muffle her sobs in. She could have never thought that she would have to see Lana in such a condition ever.


    "All I...can think is...what I did to her...when she was going through so much...there is no forgiveness for me...for what I did to her..."


    Madi cried out, as grief and guilt enveloped her entire form. She could never live being like this in peace if her doing affected Lana''s health.


    John was about to correct her that it had nothing to do with what she had done...with what both had done at all.


    It was faith. Lana had to go through all this as a part of her destiny just like their mother had to too.


    Lana was very small at that time, but he remembered how their mother had suffered from the same diseaseter on it ended with giving up on her life.


    It was what had caused their father to lose his will to go on with life either. Being high school sweethearts, losing their mother, his wife to such a heinous disease despite having the money for every kind of treatment in the world.


    Madison pushed John away, not being able to stay in that room anymore. She ran out through the door. It suffocated her to be there.


    John did not stop her knowing what she might have been going through all at once right at that moment.


    He sighed and strode forward to get a clear look at his baby sister. He was so sorry to what he had done to her although it was totally unintentional but nothing could ever justify his action...their action.


    Meanwhile, out in the lobby, Madison kept running as if her body was on living fire. She thrashed through the nurse, the patients on the way, and did not care to look back at them.


    Her mind could only think of one thing and that was what she had done to Lana. She could not let that horrified, terrified, and heartbroken face of betrayal and hurt of Lana from inside her head.


    How she had asked her to stop saying anythinging from that mouth and rejected being close to her.


    What if when she was out from the stance of the medication and remembered what she had done??


    How would she react then and would it be good for her health right now considering the crisis she was in??


    She only stopped when she saw someone, she had never thought of seeing at the moment...Kian Randall.


    He stood by the corner, turning of the lobby end and when their eyes matched, she stopped on her track altogether.


    He looked no good...he looked as if he was done with life and they were at the same time bloodshot red too as if he was angry...anger at someone for having done something against of him.


    Kian did not wait any more time in California. He was back the very next second with his jet to Richmond to get answers.

 Chapter 217 - IF SHE LOVES YOU, WHAT ELSE DOES IT MATTER?

    PRECAP


    "I can...and she is not yours. She is fucking mine!!"


    Tinsley yelled thest part, getting annoyed.


    "Then who fucked you if not me?? Who puts that baby in you? If not me?"


    Kian argued and Tinsley did not exactly know how to answer that question from him. He eyed her, expecting an answer.


    "It''s not yours!"


    It was what came out of her mouth and for a moment there, it made Kian think what if she had moved on...and the child was not his??


    "I have taken onto the artificial insemination to get pregnant. "


    He looked up at her as she told him that. He read through the words as she narrated to him side by side.


    "So now you know, it''s not anyone''s baby but mine''s and only mine alone."


    She concluded and all of a sudden, he just shut the file and stormed out of her house...without a word or any reaction.


    ________________________________________________


    On his way to the car, his guards opened the door for him as he got inside, left her house without a second word.


    What was there more to say either way??


    She had moved on too far...did he push her too far?? It seemed like so by then.


    Was it toote to return back to what they were?


    There was no answer to that question.


    At least not yet...and there was no hope to get it in the near future either.


    The Mercedes sped away to the private airport where his jet was on standby ready to fly anytime back to Richmond.


    He hade with so much hope in here, expecting the best...the best of taking his wife back to their home and trying to live in peace and settling the past events.


    And oh lord! What had the events turned into? He could never tell or imagine that he would walk into something like this.


    The drivers opened the door of the Mercedes, on reaching the airport, parked near the jet.


    Kian got out without a word and headed towards the jet, the pilot and the air hostess, gave him a salute.


    Within a few minutes, they were up in the air, flying back from where he hade from.


    He closed the window shield, tired of watching the void on the outside and she could not get her eyes off from staring out the opened door...the door through which he barged inside, wrecked her living world and left without a word.


    She was still standing on the same spot, holding the file containing her donor''s name and health information, right beside the stool he had sat down out of being fed up with it all.


    She bent down to pick up the medical file that he had been holding and she could not help in touching the stain of the teardrop from his eyes.


    She ran her finger over it...the wetness of it still alive, on the surface of the paper, right above the word ''positive'' pregnancy confirmation.


    Her mind was still trying to process what had happened...all in the morning, she had not thought...never expected that the visitor would be him out of nowhere.


    His lips...she could still feel them above hers. Tracing the lips, he could still taste her in his mouth and realized, how much he had missed her...craved her.


    She closed her eyes, trying to get her consciousness back...trying to get herself back to normal...the normal before him...his arrival.


    She walked out of the rugs, dropping the file in the seat, she headed towards the front door to close it and bring the normalcy back again...even though it had long past gone away.


    The gates hung open as the other one closed, he got out and she turned her back to crawl back inside her bed...a sorry excuse of trying to hide from the world because he would always find her.


    His eyes interlocked with hers and he was thest person, she was thinking ofing across at the moment.


    He did not give her a second before he held her wrist and dragged her out of the lobby, to a ce where...she had no idea of.


    But she had lost the will to fight him back or hold back and break free to run in the opposite direction and never look back.


    "She cannot...you know that too. She cannot because she is married. She is fucking married!!! And I do not understand why are you so hell-bent on ending a fucking marriage when both do not want it to end of course....??? Why Madison?? Why??"


    The voice rang in her head like a siren. And now peeking at him, she could see how much miserable he looked.


    "You seem so hell-bent on ending them!"


    "There is no ''them'' anymore. He chose that. She did her best to try and make it work...it is the ending now!"


    "They did love each other though!"


    "Only she did...he never got over his pathetic past!"


    "But how could you know that Madi...some people have a weird way of showing their love...he is protective over her, pushing her away but could never let go...what do you pinpoint that as?? "


    Lana argued, putting the mug back on the table. She for sure could not im if he was in love...he did feel something closer to love, something simr for Tinsley.


    "They are over! That''s what it is!"


    Madison concluded, picking up her phone, knowing exactly how to get ahold of that bastard.


    "You do not get to decide that, Madison!"


    Lana pressed, standing up, "You do not get to determine when it''s over for them?"


    "Well, I did not, Tinsley knew that it is over...her signatures are on this paper and she had left this city for good... it''s the end, Lana!"


    ________________________________________________


    And that was when Madi broke down, tears spurted out of her eyes, raw and fresh and Kian was taken aback.


    She thrashed herself into him...hugging his body to herself and started mumbling sorry repeatedly.


    She had ended a love story before it could start and evolve...just like her impulsive actions had led to ending her own.


    Lana understood it. She saw love, she could always see it so clear when all Madi saw was patriarchy and dominance.


    She had gone too far...all her actions had never earned one satisfaction but caused so much mess and disturbances.


    "You are just trying to make it look like it''s all me because you started this problem, Madison Maria...you asked him to marry her and now she is trapped...you do not get an easy pass out every time...own it up!"


    It was her fault...all her fault. He said it right. He had said the truth and it hurt her ego, her pride...it disturbed her knowing she would forever be trapped in that circle of guilt for instilling that idea in Kian''s head...forever locking Tinsley in the prison, burning the key to her freedom.


    What she had thought was love...turned out something else. A love...such a strong feeling...then how did she end up betraying the only woman she had ever loved...the only person she loved so much more than herself.


    Then how could she qualify herself for judging what is love...which one was and which was not??


    Now that everything had drawn upon her and it was toote to take the road not taken, what was she going to do??


    If love felt trapped?? Was it not love anymore?


    But did we not want love to envelop us, encircle us with its clutch... won''t it feel trapped then too?


    Was it toote to correct it all now?? Was it toote even to try and seek out the path of correctness??


    "I will tell you only one thing..."


    She said, parting away from the hug. Kian was only looking at her, with all his attention directed in her way.


    "She still loves you!"


    And it made him breathe in and out as if his lungs had gotten the hold of fresh air only after an hour of drowning under the water.


    "What else does matter??"


    She questioned him, rubbing her tears away with the back of her hand. She continued...continued to do what Lana would have done if she was still here, standing beside her as always.


    "If or not she is carrying your child or someone else''s...either way her heart has always belonged to you and if you step out only because of that...I have nothing to say more..."


    Madison went on. She could not even think before the words kept slipping out of her mouth as if she herself did not know what she was speaking out in the air.


    "If she still could love you as you are...why can''t you ept a part that would be hers too even if it''s not yours...it would be her!"

 Chapter 218 - HIM BESIDE HER...

    "We are done for today. I will be back in the morning to check up on Lana."


    The doctor informed and left after that. Madi and John nodded. The nurse gave Lana sedatives for her to sleep peacefully.


    They were the only two people left after that in the room, breathing and with sense.


    Madi walked towards the bed where Lana wasying. She took her spot in the same ce asst night. John watched her sitting on the stool.


    And here he had been thinking to wait for the night, this time instead of her but it looked like she was going to stay tonight too.


    "I thought I would have stayed tonight..."


    "I do not mind!"


    Madison interrupted him right away and John nodded, rubbing his nose. He saw no point in arguing here to ask her to go home and rest because he knew, she was not going to get any just like him either.


    "So I...I guess I will just leave..."


    John went on and Madi gave him a positive sigh. He bid her night and then left the next instant for not knowing how to be in the same room as hers and not know what to say and what not to say.


    Madi eyed the closing door and took a deep breath. Things had gone back to being awkward once again.


    Every time, she would look into his eyes, she felt the strange connection yet she could not help it in her mind when the thought of utter betrayal crossed her mind she caused her...to her beloved.


    She turned back to look at Lana, who was sleeping so peacefully. She patted her head, running fingers through her blonde golden locks.


    "I did what you would have done, baby!"


    Madison mumbled. She leaned down to peck her lips, softly. A lone tear slipped out from her eyes and fell upon Lana''s cheeks. She squirmed and turned to the other side.


    ________________________________________________


    "What else does matter??"


    She questioned him, rubbing her tears away with the back of her hand. She continued...continued to do what Lana would have done if she was still here, standing beside her as always.


    "If or not she is carrying your child or someone else''s...either way her heart has always belonged to you and if you step out only because of that...I have nothing to say more..."


    Madison went on. She could not even think before the words kept slipping out of her mouth as if she herself did not know what she was speaking out in the air.


    "If she still could love you as you are...why can''t you ept a part that would be hers too even if it''s not yours...it would be hers!"


    Madison concluded and Kian did not speak out one word at that moment. Their eyes bored into each other. There was nothing much left for Madi to talk about either.


    "I m sorry!"


    It was the first thing that came out of Kian''s mouth, breaking the waves of the silence in a strike.


    "I m sorry for Lana...I did not mean to..."


    Kian had no intention of turning things the way they did. He only threatened John to get to Tinsley after months of waiting. He had gone restless to see his wife by then...


    And he was never intending to spill the truth to Lana, he only used it for getting to find his wife''s whereabouts. Yet how things had ended up...he could not help but me himself.


    "Don''t..."


    Madi shook her head, stopping him frompleting his sentence. She knew what he was going to say and it was not all true...for the truth was going toe out anytime...that way or this way, it was going toe out sooner orter.


    "It was all on me...It still is all on me...nobody had no doing in it."


    Kian could see how much in pain and guilt she was in. Perhaps he could link it to a little bit...the guilt of abandoning his wife and their unborn child for saving someone else''s.


    "It is all my doing!"


    She said, and a raw fresh tear spurted out of her eyes. And Kian strode forward, pulling her into his arms.


    Despite the straining, they had been having for a few months by then...they had a great history of understanding each other''s feelings...what they were going through. They were kind of simr in that way.


    "Everything will get better!"


    Kian consoled her, pulling away, holding onto her both shoulders, peeking into her tearful red eyes, giving the boost in her soul to carry on and not lose hope.


    Madison closed her eyes, rubbing her nose. It felt so stuffed. Kian gave her a moment to get herself back together.


    He hade here to confront her and to see how it had turned out. His head assistant had informed him about Lana''s health condition and his attitude changed altogether.


    He knew that his much Madi loved that woman and that she had cheated on her with Lana''s own brother...why?? He did not know himself...and felt like she did not either.


    "Funny, how we do not know how much someone means to us until they leave us and we are only left with the memories..."


    Madi spilt and it got Kian''s attention. She gave him a sad, apologetic smile...sorry for everything she had done to him and everyone else.


    Giving onest pat on his bicep, she left him all alone to be swimming in his trains of thoughts.


    ________________________________________________


    Driving back home...a home that had not felt like one for months now, he got out of his coat and strode towards the bar in the big living room, pouring himself a whiskey.


    Sipping a little of it from the ss, he took a sit on the big sofa, made of bear''s fine fur. Leaning back on the sofa, trying to soak his tiredness off.


    He nced around the big empty house...it looked scarier and void than a haunted one.


    But the void in his inside was too big andrge...ck and white at the same time.


    There was no light...only faint partial lighting, seeping in through the blinder of the window.


    She tossed and turned, trying to forget him...forget what had urred in the morning.


    His hurtful face...so sad and broken to find her pregnant with not his...but someone else''s child...


    She plopped her face on the soft pillow, trying to stop from thinking about it again and again.


    She checked her phone to see if Madison had texted her back or not and saw it all empty, her inbox had no calls, no texts...she sighed, putting it down back on the nightstand.


    She did not get why Madi would ignore all her texts and calls like that. It made her worried if something had happened to Anna Maria.


    For Madi would never rest without calling her once a day, every day. She had a bad feeling in her heart...yet she could not do anything about it...did not even know how to reach out.


    Reaching out...how should he ever reach out to her after this...after everything that had happened so far.


    It apparently seemed like she had moved on and there was no returning back to what things used to be like.


    "Funny, how we do not know how much someone means to us until they leave us and we are only left with the memories..."


    The words rang like a siren in his mind and it irritated him so much to the point of throwing his ss out at the front wall, breaking it into pieces.


    He needed her...he did....did so bad. Now that he had seen her, felt her again in his arms after such a long time, tasted her for a brief moment, he needed her...he would go crazy without her if not...


    He got up and stepped inside the bar to pour himself another drink to drown in his own sorrows.


    "I have never been this happier...getting to know that there are real people who care about me...you, Madison and Anna Maria."


    Her words broke his heart. She was so vulnerable that she never had someone to care about her.


    He cupped her face in between his hands, pulling her more close to him than ever.


    "I care about you...deeply, madly and crazily. "


    She grinned, listening to him. He caressed her hair with one hand and rubbed her cheeks smoothly with the other one.


    "I will always be there for you, Tinsley."


    "I know. "


    She mumbled as if she knew it in her heart...more than him that he would always be there for her.


    It was the scene of him and her, forehead resting against each other, eyes interlocked...


    Kian dropped the ss and ran upstairs to get his wife...to relive that moment once again in peace.


    And when Tinsley, turned around to sleep in peace, her eyes saw him...looking at her, sleeping just beside her.

 Chapter 219 - A SURPRISE VISIT...

    The sound of the utensils vibrated as Tinsley spurred outside of the very busy kitchen, just giving the chef details about one of the customers.


    Beth smiled at her, folding the napkins inside. She smiled back and closed the steel door behind her, getting out of the lobby to the main area to take up more order.


    She touched her bump, now very visible by anyone. All the customers so far who''s table she had served, congratted her.


    "You are glowing as usual!"


    Kyleplimented her, tainting her cheeks with rosy paints. It looked more prominent now that it was winter.


    "Maybe because everyone well wished for my Ava dolly!"


    Tinsley replied, touching her bulged out belly with so much affection. And Kyle smiled at her.


    "Honestly, I m looking forward too to seeing how our Ava dolly would look like...or have that red hair like her mother or not...?"


    Kyle remarked, handing her the notepad to carry on with her work. She took it from him and walked away to get other orders.


    "Good evening folks, what would you like to have today?"


    She put on a big smile for the customer, standing before the table with her pen and notepad ready to jot down their order.


    Serving the first table, moving to the other one and then to the next one. It always started with her showcasing the big happy bright smile and sometimes, she would feel her cheeks paining from smiling so much.


    "Good evening folks...oops! Sorry! Sir..."


    When she saw the man, who he was...her smile fell from her face. It was like the sun shining brightly until the moon hid it behind itself, during the sr eclipse.


    Kian looked up, his eyes peeking into hers. He had been watching her throughout the night going from table to table with a smile as bright as the stars.


    And he had also observed her blushing to the minimal talks of that young bartender, protectively holding her bump.


    He could not help the jealousy that coursed through his nerves as he saw her conversing so gracefully with a man that was not him.


    She did not know what to say...what to do either. Turn her back and strode away or treat him like any other customer?


    "What are you doing here?"


    "What were you doing blushing before that teenager?"


    It came out at the same time from both sides and the silence was quick to seep in.


    He closed his eyes, sighing for he had not thought that it would be the first thing he would throw in her way.


    "Can we talk? ....somewhere private?"


    He added, atst, looking around, hoping that she would understand. She licked her lips as it got dry and he could not part his eyes off from that action.


    "I m not over my shift."


    She excused herself, thinking that he would leave. She did not even know why he was back once again to wreck her life, snatch away her peace.


    "I m willing to wait right here till you are done."


    He let out and Tinsley raised her eyebrows at him, not liking the sound of it. She just turned her back and left him to sulk there all by himself.


    Kyle noticed the eerieness in Tinsley''s face as she came up to the bar, dropping the notepad with a list of orders noted down on it.


    "What happened?? The man did not well wish for our Ava dolly?"


    He implored, trying to amuse her up. She shook her head and when her eyes fell upon him, sitting three tables away, still looking in her direction, shamelessly, his palms curled into a fist, resting on the table.


    "I will take the orders in the kitchen."


    She said and walked away and out from his gaze. Her back disappeared inside that steel door as it closed behind her.


    She came back after a fair good five minutes and stood on the threshold of the door, looking around to see if he was still there and when those grey pairs matched with her evergreen ones, she sighed in disappointment.


    He was not going anywhere. She should have known how firm his words by now, living with him for a good number of months as husband and wife.


    She parted her eyes from his and resumed with her work, going around tables, smiling at them, jotting down their orders on her small notepad.


    Every time, the entire evening, she could feel his hot nces behind her back as he watched her throughout the night.


    "What with that man having nothing on his table yet?"


    Sandra, the manager questioned her and she was bound to walk up to him with a ss of water and drop it hard before him.


    "What do you want to eat?"


    She forcefully asked him, not wanting to be in his presence at all. But she did not want to lose her job at this point now.


    "You know what I like!"


    He said, still holding his gaze strictly on her. She rolled her eyes at him and sassily replied.


    "I do not know..."


    "Of course you do!"


    Kian stopped her and she narrowed her gaze at him, not liking at all how calm he was behaving when she was well aware of how short patient and tempered he was...


    "I don''t..."


    "You... it''s you! "


    He let out and she took a deep breath. He hoped that she would at least listen to what he had to say.


    She had no idea how to respond to that remark and so she just decided to turn around and leave but he held her back, holding onto her wrist.


    "I m not leaving till we talk..."


    He pressed, holding her steady and not giving her any space to leave. She pulled her hand away from his hold.


    "There is nothing to talk about. "


    "There is, you know that there is..."


    "There is not anything for to talk about..."


    Tinsley stood on her ground and it was his time up for the patience he was holding onto. He had always been a vtile man.


    "Yes...we will talk and unless you want me to take you out over my shoulder...you will oblige to me!"


    Kian gritted his teeth. He was boiling so much here watching men almost throwing themselves at her. Especially that bartender...fucker would not stop talking to her every time she would stop by at the bar.


    "You would not dare!"


    Tinsley dared him, looking around the people, eating, talking in the diner. He would not dare to do as he wished in a ce like this for sure, she thought to herself.


    "Try me, wife!"


    He smirked at her and when he did not blink, she knew that his psychotic ass would not mind creating a scene even in her workce.


    She licked her lips that kept getting dry, being distressed. A habit of her she would do when being tensed, facing situations she was not aware of...not knowing how to deal with it.


    "Leave my hand..."


    She asked him, yet he did not budge and resumed holding onto her wrist. She sighed...tired of his stubbornness.


    "Leave so that we can leave...after I sign out for the night!"


    And instantly, he let go of her hand. She turned around to drop her apron on the desk beside the bar.


    "What happened?"


    Kyle implored, getting concerned. He had seen the intense talk Tinsley and that man had. Who was he?


    "I m taking an early off tonight!"


    Tin replied, wearing her apron off and dropping it on the desk. Kyle collected it for her to return to the officeter.


    "But why?"


    "Something came up!"


    Tin said, hurriedly wearing her leather coat and picking her handbag. Kyle could see that something was up between her and that man.


    "Who is he?"


    She did not listen to him as she was out the next moment and onto Kian''s table. He stood up and they both left, not before he turned back a little to re at Kyle, putting his hand around Tin''s waist as they strode out.


    He just wanted to let that young boy see who she belonged to. She was always his, no matter what.


    It rmed Kyle watching Tin walking out with a man, who he was very suspicious about from the moment her smile faltered, serving his table.


    He untied his apron too and got out of the bar to check out if the man was forcing her to go with him in any way.


    Kian opened the door for her as she got out. Closing it behind, he could see Kyleing onto them and Kian took that moment, to push Tinsley onto the nearby wall out of nowhere and mmed his lips against hers.


    She moaned out not expected that at all. Kyle came onto them...kissing and he did not know what to do.


    "Hey?? What are you doing?? Leave her!!"


    He tried to pull Kian off of her and Kian turned around tond a hard fist against his face...knocking him down on the concrete. Tinsley screamed out.


    "Stay the fuck away from my wife!!"

    Madison concluded and Kian did not speak out one word at that moment. Their eyes bored into each other. There was nothing much left for Madi to talk about either.


    "I m sorry!"


    It was the first thing that came out of Kian''s mouth, breaking the waves of the silence in a strike.


    "I m sorry for Lana...I did not mean to..."


    Kian had no intention of turning things the way they did.


    ________________________________________________


    What are you doing here?"


    "What were you doing blushing before that teenager?"


    It came out at the same time from both sides and the silence was quick to seep in.


    He closed his eyes, sighing for he had not thought that it would be the first thing he would throw in her way.


    "Can we talk? ....somewhere private?"


    He added, atst, looking around, hoping that she would understand. She licked her lips as it got dry and he could not part his eyes off from that action.


    "I m not over my shift."


    ________________________________________________


    "Hey?? What are you doing?? Leave her!!"


    He tried to pull Kian off of her and Kian turned around tond a hard fist against his face...knocking him down on the concrete. Tinsley screamed out.


    "Stay the fuck away from my wife!!"


    Kian spat and before Kyle could stand up from that hard blow, he grabbed Tinsley''s wrist and dragged her away with him.


    Injured Kyle stood up, a little blood blowing out from his nose. He saw Tin being pulled away by that man...who imed her as his wife...could he be her husband??


    "Stop looking back at him!"


    Kian stressed and Tin flipped her head to the front, not being able to believe how and what just had happened.


    She could not wrap her mind around what just urred. He was furious from the very evening, the moment he saw how that stupid teenager was being too nice with his wife...he knew it...he knew that he needed to set him in his ce.


    And in the cold winter night, he let her to a secluded ally and pasted her body against the wall and his body, trapping her in between.


    He did not wait for another second as he mmed his lips on hers. She gasped. He held onto her waist tightly, trying to pull her as closely as he could to his body.


    Tinsley tried to thrash him out of her body. His hold was too bold yet when she showed a hint of struggle, he let her go. And right away, a tight pnded against his right cheek. He was astonished and controlled his anger someway.


    "How dare you touch me??"


    Tinsley spat and he red in her direction. He only came more closer to her.


    "I will touch you as I wish...you are my fucking wife! I m your husband! Do not forget that...ever!"


    Kian pressed, digging his fingers on her arms and she did not show him her weakness. She was grateful that he could not get more closer to her because of her baby bump.


    "No!!! You are not my husband! I m not your wife!!"


    "Yes, you are....fucking hell, stop being a brat!!"


    He tried to hold her fists back from punching onto his chest. She was unstoppable. She was very angry and furious at this point.


    "We are divorced!!! You can''t fool me!!"


    Tinsley yelled out. She signed the divorce papers. She remembered that all too well and here he thought he could fool her with his lies.


    "We are not divorced!!! Because I m never divorcing your ass...you are stuck with me till death do us apart, wife!!"


    He yfully remarked and held her fists in his tight hold. She tried to pull back but could not draw out herself. He was still stronger and a hunk.


    And by then, she was too tired, too worked up from all the drama that had urred in the past few minutes. She was very much pregnant after all with her baby girl growing so strong inside her.


    She felt all her energy being drained out and Kian could see the colour in her face changing. He eyed her with concern.


    "Are you alright?"


    Tinsley red at him, thinking as if he cared? One moment, he was going all gori on her and the next, he was all soft in a blip.


    "As if you care?" She mocked him, rolling her eyes at him.


    "Of course, I do! "


    Kian replied. He knew that it would be hard for her to take his words yet he wanted her to know that he still cared about her crazily and madly.


    "I have always cared about you!"


    Tinsley did not say anything as she was too worn out to keep arguing with him like a nagging child.


    Kian could see that she was going back to giving him a silent treatment and he knew how it hadsted a few times they had fights, how she was one hell of a stubborn brat who would never give up.


    And him wanting to talk with her was not even helping the cause either. He closed his eyes and sighed.


    "Let''s talk over dinner!"


    He proposed and she peeked at him a little. Mentioning about food, her mouth started salivating. She was always hungry for food ever since she hit five months of her pregnancy.


    "I m not into talking and I m not going to any dinner with you."


    She let out, folding her hands against her chest. And it caused him to take in the view of her full chest. They looked bigger and heavier than before.


    Before his mind would go gaga, he parted his eyes away from her covered breasts and cursed under his breathe for having so many disturbing sinful thoughts inside his head for a heavily pregnant woman.


    But was it so wrong?? She was his wife after all. She looked so beautiful and ethereal...being chubby and the weight, looked good on her...suited her little form.


    "Common, let''s have dinner!"


    He pushed her, trying to lighten her mood up. She did not budge.


    "I m not hungry!"


    And it was in that exact moment, her stomach growled. Her cheeks got tainted in deep shades of red as she was caught red-handed in her lie.


    "We will go to dinner then!"


    Kian confirmed, walking aside, letting here with him by herself. Tinsley felt her ears heat from the embarrassment.


    "Only because I m hungry...for food!"


    She dropped an excuse of why she was going with him, for not wanting to make it seem like she was agreeing to go out with him just like that but only because she was hungry.


    "Sure! Only because you are hungry!"


    He chuckled softly. She looked too cute at that moment that all he wanted was to hide her in his arms.


    They walked a short distance and reached a normal restaurant. He opened the door for her to get in and helped her out of her oversized leather coat.


    The waiter took them near a table of two. Kian asked for a private booth and they went for it.


    "What will you have ma''am and sir?"


    Tinsley and Kian both ran their eyes on the menu book. The food looked too expensive and Tinsley could not help but count in her head how much money she had left in her purse.


    "I will take a steak, medium rare!"


    Kian handed the waiter, the menu book and then both the men turned their gaze upon her, and she looked at them cluelessly, not knowing what to do with the situation.


    "I will go for...Ummm...the sandwich with tuna....?"


    She ordered the cheapest item from the menu and it was then, Kian understood her hesitancy.


    "Just the tuna sandwich, ma''am?"


    The waiter intervened and Tinsley nodded. She handed him back the menu book.


    "And also the steak, without garlic!"


    Kian added. Tinsley eyed him in protest but he ignored it and turned over to the waiter asking for a full bottle of red wine too.


    "Why would you do that?"


    Tinsley questioned him, the moment, the waiter was out to get their orders. His eyes were trained into hers.


    "Were you not hungry?"


    He implored and she rolled her eyes at him. He curled his fist, trying so hard not tounch upon her.


    "I forgot my card at home!"


    "I still can pay for two!"


    Kian joked. And that made Tinsley more than infuriated. Seeing her red, he apologized right away.


    "I was just kidding...I m still capable enough to pay for my wife!"


    Kian said, softly. Tinsley looked away from his grey pairs, not wanting to get lost in those mysterious eyes.


    "Why are you back again...after everything?"


    "I want in...I want you back!"

 Chapter 221 - "BUT WHY???"

    PRECAP


    "I can...and she is not yours. She is fucking mine!!"


    Tinsley yelled thest part, getting annoyed.


    "Then who fucked you if not me?? Who puts that baby in you? If not me?"


    Kian argued and Tinsley did not exactly know how to answer that question from him. He eyed her, expecting an answer.


    "It''s not yours!"


    It was what came out of her mouth and for a moment there, it made Kian think what if she had moved on...and the child was not his??


    "I have taken onto the artificial insemination to get pregnant. "


    ________________________________________________


    "If she still could love you as you are...why can''t you ept a part that would be hers too even if it''s not yours...it would be hers!"


    Madison concluded and Kian did not speak out one word at that moment. Their eyes bored into each other. There was nothing much left for Madi to talk about either.


    "I m sorry!"


    It was the first thing that came out of Kian''s mouth, breaking the waves of the silence in a strike.


    "I m sorry for Lana...I did not mean to..."


    Kian had no intention of turning things the way they did.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison watched Lana sedated for her treatment from outside, through the sspartment.


    The treatments regrly were draining all her energy as her face had lost all her bright colours and the glow had long faded away, dark circles around her eyes, her lips dry all the time.


    Madi always made sure to keep her hydrated and still it did not matter. John had gone crazy looking out for a possible donor.


    The doctor was right in saying how it was difficult to find one that would be matching.


    He had alerted all the agents in all the Richmond hospitals and out of the states, yet no luck so far.


    But they were keeping their hopes up, wishing the treatments alone could make Lana better.


    "Hey?!"


    Madison turned around to see John, standing behind her. He was a bitte today. He always made sure to visit her during her morning therapies.


    "Hey!"


    Madison gave him a brief smile and then again parted her eyes off of him right away to focus her attention back on Lana.


    "Your nana wants toe to visit you and Delta here."


    John informed. He had been looking after the old woman as Madison spent all her time, nights and days in the hospital.


    Madi took a deep breath. She knew how stubborn her nana could get with her demands. Ever since she grew old with age, she had be more childish.


    "Is she asking for it often?"


    She implored and John nodded. She knew that it was time, she gave a visit to her nana at home.


    "Maybe you should visit her once?"


    John proposed and Madi took that proposal because it made sense too.


    "I''m thinking about it too!"


    She said, still not looking at him and it always made him upset that she was still not over it.


    That she still could not look him into his eyes after that day...the big revtion day.


    Even though he should not, yet he could not help it in himself and craved to peek at her warm ck eyes.


    Even though by then he hade to ept the reality that they could never be together without feeling the guilt and the betrayal they had caused his sister...her lover.


    It hurt him for losing all the hope of ever being with the woman he loved...the woman who would not even look into his eyes for a second.


    "When will you go then?"


    "Maybe after this?"


    Madison presumed and John supported her, saying he could stay back for the time being.


    "Sounds good! I will look after Lana until you are back!"


    Madison thanked him and when Lana was out a few minutester, after settling her in her canine.


    Madison dropped a small kiss on her forehead and with onest nce, she left John with his sister, all alone, wondering where this was even going?


    ________________________________________________


    "I forgot my card at home!"


    "I still can pay for two!"


    Kian joked. And that made Tinsley more than infuriated. Seeing her red, he apologized right away.


    "I was just kidding...I m still capable enough to pay for my wife!"


    Kian said, softly. Tinsley looked away from his grey pairs, not wanting to get lost in those mysterious eyes.


    "I do not like kidding!"


    Tinsley firmly replied and Kian noted it down in his mind. It was something worth noting a change in her...she always loved jokes before.


    "Why are you back again...after everything?"


    And when all of a sudden, she dropped that question, he was taken back a bit because that was the whole point they were here for to talk about it.


    She peeked at him as he was out of words, how to start, where to start from and when you begin, what to say...


    When he was about to open his mouth, the waiter came by to drop the red wine and took his time, opening the bottle and pouring it into each of the flutes.


    "Your orders would be up in a few minutes, sir, ma''am!"


    He informed, gracefully and Tin nodded at him. When he was out, she shifted her attention back to the man, who was still due in giving her an answer.


    Kian took a breath in and he knew that no matter, how much he would think or n the words in his head, it would nevere out right...so he decided to put it in simple terms.


    "I want in...I want you back!"


    And that provoked Tinsley to the point of no return. What did he think of her?? Did he take her like a fool?


    She stood up as he awaited her response. The waiter chose that moment toe up with their ordered dishes.


    He looked at her confused, for standing up.


    "Thank you very much! But I m going to go now!"


    She said to the waiter and directed thest few words to Kian, who stood up too and before she could flip around, he held her wrist.


    "You are not leaving until you finish the food!"


    He pressed and trained his eyes at hers. The waiter nervously and very awkwardly watched the duo.


    "You can leave!"


    Kian excused the waiter and the man was out like a light after serving then the food on their table.


    "You cannot stop me!"


    "Let''s be civil and talk like adults!"


    Kian proposed. He is no way wanted to force her into doing anything yet he could not help but be annoyed when she would behave like an untamed brat.


    Looking around, seeing people watching them through the periphery of her eyes, she decided to cool down and take her sit back.


    They both sat down in silence and used the fork to cut their steak without a word out.


    "I want us to go back to what we were."


    "But I m not!"


    Tinsley replied, setting her fork and spoon down on the ceramic table. Kian had never seen her being so straightforward.


    "We are still married."


    Kian pointed out and she did not know how to address that fact. She really thought that they were divorced.


    Even though she never thought that they would have ended like that yet when signing the papers, she could not help the ache in her heart then should she be ted to know that they were not.


    "What do you want??... What do you want?"


    Tinsley sighed, not understanding him at all...what did he want. Why was he all of a sudden after so many months?....why was he here?? Asking her back??


    "I told you...I want you back like before!"


    Kian said and continued, not giving her any moment to reply back.


    "I know we have had it bad, gone through some dark phrases but I want us to be back like before...because this is our future and we can''t deny it...neither can I..."


    "My future is my daughter..."


    Tinsley interrupted him and hisposure changed altogether but he held himself back.


    He knew what kind of a situation he was drowning himself into but it was obvious, he could not live without her.


    "I know...and I want to ept it all..."


    "But why??"


    She could not help herself in questioning him at all.

 Chapter 222 - GLIMPSE TO THE FUTURE!!

    20 years from now!


    "Shawn, Maples and Kitty...hurry, before you gette again for another time in the week!!"


    Tinsley screamed at the top of her voice, packing the lunchboxes of her threezy children.


    The maid resumed handing her all the items as she packed them inside the boxes.


    Today was the tiffin sharing day. Although it was ridiculous that Shawn, starting his high school, also had this day. Kitty was in her middle and Maples, having this day, made sense because she was still in preschool.


    The school, Richmond High, where all the wealthy kids of Richmond went to was very strict about tiffin sharing day.


    In the big house with a very wide living room and adjoined dinner hall along with the kitchen, she always had to scream her lungs out to get the kids out of their rooms all the damn time.


    "No, Marry...handle the blueberry sauce. Madi and Shreya''s daughters love my doughnut with blueberry sauce."


    Tinsley said and Marry nodded, giving her the freshly baked blueberry syrup and Tin sprayed it all around the doughnut.


    Madi''s younger daughter was the same age as Kitty and they went to the preschool together.


    Shreya was another mom, whom they had befriended in the school and now the trio would go out, every Friday night to take a much-needed break from all the household chores.


    With the kids growing up too fast, works only piled up more. Oh! How wrong she had been thinking that her works would lessen once they would grow up ut it was the total opposite.


    "I do not even know what Shawn''s friends like to eat...they all are grown up now! Do they have the same taste as before?"


    Tinsley questioned herself, getting distressed that what if her son''s friends would not like the tiffin, he would take today.


    "Madam...you are stressing too much...teenagers, either way, do not care about eating from lunch boxes at all!"


    Marry tried to calm her down. She had watched Ava grow up and start high school and how all her lunch boxes woulde untouched on every tiffin day.


    "Ahhh!!! Marry!! Do not remind me of Ava dolly! "


    Tinsley said, also recalling that how her eldest daughter was a loner, not much of a talkative person like her father.


    But it was a totally different case with her son. Shawn, who to her fear from day one turned to be that handsome boy with the smile that made girls go crazy.


    He had a bunch of friends...they call it the popr kids. He only had five best friends since preschool and the circle grew, as he grew together with them...puberty made him look as eye-catching as his father.


    "Shawn is a different case!! They call him the popr kid...I do not even know what is that??"


    Tinsley nagged to Marry...the maid smiled. Attending All-Girl School, Tinsley never knew what it was like going to a free school.


    "And I do not want him to be pulled down from his socialdder for my tiffin!"


    And from up the stairs came, the boy himself. When he stood before his mother and Marry, opposite of the kitchen counter.


    "Ohmon! Mom, your tiffin can''t tarnish my reputation!"


    Shawn let out. His voice had grown to be hoarse and so manly for his age. Tinsley, along with Marry had to look up at him for he had be taller than them. Everyone said that he would cross his father one day...and that one day could be approaching soon.


    "Good morning to you too, son!"


    Tinsley gave him that mocking tone. It was an informal signal for him to know that she was not fine with him waking upte again.


    His little sister, Kitty looked up to him and followed all his actions so Tinsley always tried to correct Shawn to correct Kitty.


    "Don''t mom! I know I m upte but I got Kitty ready!!"


    He smirked as he made his baby sister,e out from hiding behind his tall frame.


    And instantly it made Tin smile. Shawn picked Kitty up in his arms. He was just like his father, who knew how to warm up one''s heart.


    Marry took the tiffins to the living room to get them inside the backpack of the children.


    "Where is Maples??"


    Tinsley asked. Her second daughter, who had her periods, two months ago, was obsessed with makeup and looking like Kylie Jenner.


    She had forced her father to get her the signed kits of Kylie and Tinsley was against it...yet he went ahead and got her one, costing him a near to million. His excuse was that his daughter was going to be the fashionista of this generation and he would support her all the way through.


    "I m here mom!"


    Came out, Maples, busy applying lipstick to her thin lips, staring at the mini mirror. Shawn rolled his eyes.


    "We are ready to go,mon!"


    Shawn spun the keychain around his forefinger, dropping Kitty on her feet and Tinsley picked her little daughter up, hugging her to get the chest.


    The school was not so far away and so they allowed, Shawn, to drive with his temporary driving license.


    "I packed Sugar bread for De, Shawn. Please give it to her!"


    Tinsley requested him as they all walked up to the porch. De was Bethany''s daughter, the same age as Ava in grade eleven while Shawn was in ninth, starting high school.


    "Isn''t she with Ava?? Why should I hand her tiffin?"


    Shawn implored, totally not liking the sound of it. It was not because he was toozy to hand the tiffin...but De, had a thing for him and he totally did not look her in that way.


    Right now, his eyes were trained on Brittney, the school''s head cheerleader and they matched with each other, him being the basketball team captain...a beautiful blonde.


    While De, older than him, not like he had any problem with that. Britney was too a year older than him. But with Ava, he had always seen her as a girl who was always there with his family...growing up.


    She was obsessed with him. Had ruined so many of his dates, not to mention how many times, she had tried to seduce him...he was just not into her and was tired of her bullshit.


    Her mother, Bethany, was a nice woman, who still worked in the bakery. It was only because of his father, De was able to study in the same school as them. He had taken up De''s education responsibility.


    "Your elder sister left even before I was up!"


    Tinsley chuckled. She knew that Ava purposefully did that to avoid taking the tiffin.


    "You are going to be a good boy and hand De, the sugar bread, Shawn!"


    Tinsley sternly said, making Kitty sit on her baby chair at the back, buckling her up. Maples got inside too and Shawn headed towards the driver''s seat.


    "Isn''t this dad''s job?? Why am I doing everyone''s job??"


    Shawnined, yfully, gesturing at his baby sister and teenage, annoying one, still busy dolling her face up at the back.


    "Drive safely and share the tiffin!"


    It was all she said before the Porche was out of the main gates. Their father had a long night and she blushed, thinking about it. Time to wake him up!! Now that the kids were gone.


    ________________________________________________


    Parking the Porche in the driveway, Maples took Kitty out to her ss, not wanting to stay longer and watch Shawn eat his supposed girlfriend, Britney''s face out, leaning against the hood of the car.


    "Look Ade is here!!"


    Chad, Shawn''s one of the best buddies pointed it out as she walked inside the school gates. Her eyesnded upon Shawn and his group, hanging in the parking lot as usual.


    All of them teased Shawn with De for how direct and obsessive she was for him.


    When De saw Shawn and another girl kissing, she very angrily kicked off an empty soda can, hitting on his porche and everyoneughed when Shawn stopped kissing Brittney to see who did it. And sighed when his eyes connected with De''s maddening ones.


    "Bruh!! What is she gonna do next year when she will graduate ??"


    One of them let out from Shawn''s group. Brittney kept a firm hold on his hand and so did he. Jax rolled his eyes at Chad''s uing remark.


    "She us going to fail another ss just so she could wait and keep an eye on our Shawny boy..."


    They allughed. She had failed in her previous semester and all of them made fun of it thinking she did it knowingly to stay back and graduate with Shawn''s ss instead of hers.


    De did not listen to them as they mocked her love and walked past them, hurt that Shawn had his hand around Brittney.


    Later in the lunch break, when Shawn saw her eating all alone, he was reminded of the sugar breads. He went ahead and handed it to her.


    And that very simple gesture, made De, blush, thinking he still cared...he will fall for her one day...hopelessly just like her as he went back to his popr ground...standing there all alone.

 Chapter 223 - TAKING THE MATTER TO THE LAW!

    "I know we have had it bad, gone through some dark phrases but I want us to be back like before...because this is our future and we can''t deny it...neither can I..."


    "My future is my daughter..."


    Tinsley interrupted him and hisposure changed altogether but he held himself back.


    He knew what kind of a situation he was drowning himself into but it was obvious, he could not live without her.


    "I know...and I want to ept it all..."


    "But why??"


    She could not help herself in questioning him at all. It was very unlike of him to head somewhere, there was no profit for him.


    "Why not?"


    Kian dropped the question back at her. He had no idea why she was being so stuck up when he was offering to cooperate in with her even after she had gone too far...breaking their wedding vows, although they had taken none but just signed the papers of the marriage certificate.


    She was carrying another man''s child when he was very much alive and capable of giving her his seeds to grow pregnant with.


    But he hade to a point in his life where he needed her and did not know how to start over again.


    He just wanted to go back in time and live in peace with her the way they were living before all these turns of events took ce.


    Their eyes were interlocked as they were both swimming in the pool of their thoughts...trying to find out what could be the possibilities either side had to gain from this whole setup...


    They both had walked away from the rtionship where the motto was not given and taken...at least for her, it was not like that.


    She could have given all of her to him...and she did that, in the way she lost herself in it and maybe that was the reason why she had to run away, so fat from him before she ended up giving in again...because that was all she knew around him.


    Here in the new city, trying to find herself, trying to belong to someone...she could not until this pregnancy...her baby girl was her reason to keep looking forward.


    And here he hade again to take away from her, and if it was the olden times or perhaps if he were here before she had conceived, she would have...she would have given in...yet things had changed now.


    And he could not help the minute thought that kept screaming in the back of his mind...telling him that her reluctance was the answer to the fact that she was unwilling to y family with him...for she might be wanting to go back to the man, who''s child she was carrying.


    And the very notion about the whole thing...the sh of her with an unknown man, his hand around her waist as they watch the child that she was carrying running around the meadows...just like the painting, halfpleted by her...made him boil in anger and jealousy.


    "Why are you nning to go back to the baby daddy??"


    He rudely questioned her, palms curled into a fist as he tried very hard not to just sprung her upon his shoulder and keep her hostage in one of his many secluded inds...for she then would never be able to run away from him again.


    Tinsley was taken aback by his question and she could see the furry in his deep grey eyes. He had not changed one bit.


    He was still the same man, who got all riled up whenever even the smallest of things were denied to him or if things did not go his way. She possibly could not even think of having his bipr attitude anywhere near her daughter.


    For her baby, she promised herself that she would be away from all kinds of toxic...even being away from people that she loved to protect her child.


    "What baby daddy??"


    "Don''t feign innocence now!"


    Kian spat, being irritated by her at the moment. He just had no clue why he was here, bargaining to be with her when he was still her husband and he had just all the rights to drag her back home.


    "You are not ready toe back to me even after I m letting you go free, not punished after the stunt you pulled, getting impregnated by someone else because you want to go back to the father of the child, you are carrying when it should have been my child inside your womb!!!"


    Kian let out all in one single breathe. And Tinsley raised her eyebrows, astonished at how much he was hiding it in himself from the moment his eyes were upon her.


    He was still insecure, jealous...but could not be happy in her happiness that she had never felt for months.


    "There is no man...it is my baby!"


    "It is my goddamn baby!!!"


    She remarked, vehemently, stomping her right fist on the table, trying to make a point here.


    Kian closed his eyes, knowing that he had angered her once again when he should have been softer because it was not her but him, who was trying to strike a deal with her.


    "So why note with me?? Even after I m ready to give their child my name, rendering you free from all your shame?!"


    Kian implored. He was ready to take the responsibility of the child as his if she came with him.


    And here Tin, for some slight second thought that he genuinely wanted in to be with her and then in a flip, he broke that out.


    He was only willing to take her in along with her baby to not impose shame to his great name that his wife went ahead and carried someone else''s child but not his...her husband.


    "I do not need your name for my baby and I m not ashamed of what I did...she will be my pride. She already is."


    Tinsley very proudly said. And Kian was really losing his patience of trying to get her to understand that he wanted in with her...the entire package.


    "Oh yeah?? Who''s name are you going to give then?? The baby daddy''s?? Fucking over my dead body!!"


    He cursed. He was not going to let her humiliate him like that before the world, imposing him aughing stock for not being able to give his child to carry to his own wife that she had to go to a fucking clinic to have someone else''s.


    "It''s my baby!!! For Christ sake!! And I will give her my maiden name."


    Tinsley answered. She was very annoyed every time he chose to forget that it was nobody''s but only her baby...only her and no one else.


    "That''s never going to happen!"


    She was aghast as to why not and what right he had to stop her?? What right he had to decide things for her??


    "And who are you to have a say in anything of the matter??"


    She folded her hands against her chest, challenging him with her eyes, ring at him.


    "Your husband!"


    He smirked. She shook her head in a no but then he pulled out a pile of papers from the court. She looked at him questionably, not knowing what they were.


    He always had a n B ready in case things did not work out the easy way. He did not want to take this path but she forced him to...he had no other choice but to get her consent this way.


    "You are still married to me and as such, this child, growing inside you is mine as much as it is yours. I have the equal right as you have over it...legally, I m the father even though you went ahead and impregnated yourself without my consent...I could sue you for this with adultery and that child would be born as a bastard..."


    And before he could say more, a tight pnded against his cheek. She did it in the heat of the moment, forgetting they were out in the public.


    Thankfully, they were secluded from others in the private booth. He closed his eyes, trying very hard to not punish her for being an untamed brat.


    "I will divorce you!"


    Tinsley gritted. She was beyond angry at him for trying to impose her unborn daughter to be a bastard.


    "How will you?? When I will never sign!"


    Kian challenged her and it provoked Tinsley to no ends. She could not believe how quick he changed from requesting to correct things with her to threatening her toe back to him.


    "I will sue you for abusing me emotionally!"


    Tinsley voiced out and all she got was a bitter, cruelugh from him. She could not identify who he was anymore.


    "Let''s see you in the court then, wife! Even if we get divorced, there will be a custody battle and I promise you here today...I will win the full custody, and snatch that baby away from you either way or the other...so you decide now!"

 Chapter 224 - FIRE AND FEAR IN HER SOUL...

    "How will you?? When I will never sign!"


    Kian challenged her and it provoked Tinsley to no ends. She could not believe how quick he changed from requesting to correct things with her to threatening her toe back to him.


    "I will sue you for abusing me emotionally!"


    Tinsley voiced out and all she got was a bitter, cruelugh from him. She could not identify who he was anymore.


    "Let''s see you in the court then, wife! Even if we get divorced, there will be a custody battle and I promise you here today...I will win the full custody, and snatch that baby away from you either way or the other...so you decide now!"


    He whispered thest part near her face and she had gone frozen, hearing him threaten with her that he was going to take away her baby girl.


    "You will not dare take away my baby from me!"


    She softly, let out, wrapping her bump with her hands, protectively from his gaze and he noticed that.


    He could see that he had set the fire and fear in her soul. It was not his he wanted her to oblige to him...to give in to him but she had left her with no choice.


    "Oh, I will! You know that...I get what I want!!"


    And she very well knew that...in these months of their marriage, that was the only thing was fixed about his character.


    He would get what he want...when he set his eyes on something, there was no stopping him and it made her tear up, then and there.


    He was totally taken aback by her reaction. He was really not expecting her to break apart for that...it was just a little threatening to get to oblige him.


    Of course, he was never going to sue her...hell never in his life! She ended up deceiving him in the fields, separating him from his mother and being the reason for her death...yet he could not bring it in himself to hate her to death...and here he was thinking of all the ways, how he could bring her back with him.


    "Please!!"


    A little whisper was out as she let out a huge sob and Kian cursed under him breathe for ruining this talk once and for all.


    "Please!!! This baby is all I have...please don''t take her away from me..."


    She was about to join her hands to beg him and he walked out from his chair and joined her side, stopping her from doing so.


    "Hey!!! Hey....stop crying...I m not going to do that..."


    He held her hands and tried to calm her down as she continued to sob. The raw tears in her eyes pierced his heart deeply.


    He could see by then how much this child...this unborn baby meant to her. She was crying because she knew that if he really took her to court, he was going to win the custody.


    He had the money...recently turning into a self-made billionaire again. He had the power, the words, the men and thew, which would give it''s a verdict in his favour.


    She could see it in her head as he would take her...snatch her daughter from her chest and never allow her to see again.


    The dream...the one she had recently, a few months ago where Ava ran up to him and not her...she could see that turning into a reality as she thought about all the circumstances that she was in at the moment.


    "I m not here to do that ok...please, stop crying!"


    Kian rubbed away her fresh tears as more flowed out. She had never felt the force of defeat like that hitting back in her.


    "You are here to take my baby from me...my baby!!! My Ava..."


    "No...I m not if you agree to my terms, Tinsley...all I want is you...back with me and if this child is in the package, I m ready to ept it..."


    Kian tried to exin it to her and she was long gone to her horrified memoryne where he had conquered her...injected fears in her soul.


    All she could see was that Ava ran up to him, instead of her. She did not turn back even when she tried to get her back.


    Kian held her Ava up in his arms as she giggled and cruelly red at Tinsley as he threw her daughter up in the air and then held her back...Ava''sughter was the only sound presently audible...happy with him.


    "You will take my baby away...."


    She was having a panic attack and he could see that. He cursed for being so stupid enough to scare her off that way.


    He tried to get her back to normal and when her eyes matched with his...she let out a horrified expression, afraid that he would snatch her baby from her...


    Before he could get his cell phone to call his driver to bring the Mercedes to the front of the restaurant, she had pushed him off and tried to storm out of the booth...


    The waiter heard themotion and walked inside. He saw Tinsley up, about to exit and him blocking the path. Kian also stood up but Tinsley lost her sense and she fainted, the waiter was quick to hold her before she could hit the floor.


    "She is my wife. She is heavily pregnant...please call 911!"


    Kian pulled Tinsley back to his arms from the waiter''s hold and informed him to get the ambnce, worrier about her health.


    The waiter was quick in dialling for the 911 and said the ambnce was on its way.


    He could not wait, patiently for the ambnce to arrive and so when his driver was here with his Mercedes, he picked her up in bridal style and let her inside his car and to the hospital.


    He constantly kept rubbing her palms to keep her heated. He also made her wear his coat over her leather ones to keep her warm.


    On reaching the hospital, he quickly carried her inside and all the hospital people looked at him rmed. Sine recognized him and some did not.


    "Help here, please!!! My wife is pregnant and she fainted!!!"


    He screamed out. The nurse from the counter came up to him and the ward boy pulled the carried with him asking him to drop Tinsley on it. He was unwilling to let go of her afraid.


    The doctor came in and was shocked to see that it was Tinsley...the same doctor who had been treating her.


    "Tinsley? What happened to her??"


    The doctor asked, looking at her and then up at Kian. He recalled knowing the doctor knew her....but how??


    "You know my wife?"


    "I m her doctor! Who are you??"


    The doctor questioned back and it irked Kian that the doctor did not hear him the first time.


    "I m her husband!"


    The doctor let out a monosyble oh and urged him to put her down in the bed carrier. He obliged and she was taken to the secluded area, where other people were not allowed. They closed the ss door on his face.


    Kian''s guard held the people back who were busy trying to take his pictures and his security head urged for privacy on this floor of the hospital from their management to which they obliged right away...after it was Kian Randall, himself was here.


    All he could at that moment thought that his he was a bad news for her.


    Look he had done to her the first time they ever talked after months of separation and now she was behind those closed doors...he did not even know what was happening inside there.


    He should have been in more control. She was so vulnerable and he went ahead and threatened her of suing her in court and taking the baby away from her...he was basically bullying her into taking everything that she had from her at the moment.


    All he wanted was to be back with her and look at what he did??? He fucked up again as he always did when it came to her.


    He dropped a message to Madison stating how he had once again ruined everything for good.


    ''I fucked up!''


    And switched the phone back in his pocket when he saw the doctoring out.


    "She is fine! She had a panic attack!"


    And he sighed in relief, knowing that she was fine. The doctor continued.


    "But Mr Randall, it''s not a good thing in her case. I had checked her pregnancy and all her miss carriage reports, the major cause was her mental stress and anxiety that created a hormonal imbnce in her body and hence thosest two pregnancies resulted in a miscarriage...


    She was doing fine so far but since you are here now, make sure to keep her out of stress if you don''t want your wife to lose the baby now that she hade so far..."

 Chapter 225 - A CONTEMPLATION...

    PRECAP


    "If she still could love you as you are...why can''t you ept a part that would be hers too even if it''s not yours...it would be hers!"


    Madison concluded and Kian did not speak out one word at that moment. Their eyes bored into each other. There was nothing much left for Madi to talk about either.


    "I m sorry!"


    It was the first thing that came out of Kian''s mouth, breaking the waves of the silence in a strike.


    "I m sorry for Lana...I did not mean to..."


    Kian had no intention of turning things the way they did.


    ________________________________________________


    "Let''s talk over dinner!"


    He proposed and she peeked at him a little. Mentioning about food, her mouth started salivating. She was always hungry for food ever since she hit five months of her pregnancy.


    "Only because I m hungry...for food!"


    She dropped an excuse of why she was going with him, for not wanting to make it seem like she was agreeing to go out with him just like that but only because she was hungry.


    "Sure! Only because you are hungry!"


    ________________________________________________


    "She is fine! She had a panic attack!"


    And he sighed in relief, knowing that she was fine. The doctor continued.


    "But Mr Randall, it''s not a good thing in her case. I had checked her pregnancy and all her miss carriage reports, the major cause was her mental stress and anxiety that created a hormonal imbnce in her body and hence thosest two pregnancies resulted in a miscarriage...


    She was doing fine so far but since you are here now, make sure to keep her out of stress if you don''t want your wife to lose the baby now that she hade so far..."


    The doctor briefed him, not leaving any information untouched. She was serious in her words and tone.


    It got him into thinking that how things would be like because he was the cause of that panic attack she just had a whole ago.


    He had gone so far as to threaten her of taking the baby away from her if she did not give in to him when she was already in a very vulnerable position ever since his arrival and it made him very disgusted of himself.


    He had seen the footage of her losing their second one, alone and in that cold night, with no one by her side to help her.


    And here he was back to ruin things for her once again. He had heard enough from Madison and why she hade forward with the pregnancy.


    It was because she had felt lonely, with no one to rte to herself. After she had thought that they were divorced...there was nothing much for her to look forward to and he could understand that part.


    Right after she had left him in the office, he could not carry on. All he could see was her face...that sad and morose one...and the words...thest ones, she had directed at him.


    His resort was to iste himself, get drunk till his mind was numb to erase her memories from his soul but how could he do so when he had lived with her for so long, shared his space with her...it was as if she had be his part...


    And without her, he felt himself missing it altogether. Perhaps, she had felt the same way and she resorted to having a child to wipe that empty hole from her soul.


    And here they were, in a very different spot of life. He knew that he could not just take her with him anymore...she was not alone anymore.


    So to confirm things, he found his feet taking him to the doctor''s office and she was a bit taken aback to see him standing by her door.


    She nodded for him to get inside. During this recess, she had taken up the liberty to google him and she was beyond shocked to find out that her patient, Tinsley was the wife of a self-made billionaire.


    "Good evening, Mr Randall! Is there any problem??"


    She questioned, not knowing exactly why he was here. She had ordered the nurse to let him see his wife as she was fine by then.


    "ording to the IVF policy, there is no way the donor coulde iming for the parentage right?"


    He implored and the doctor understood why he was here. She handed him their file and exined it to him.


    "Yes, there is no way. It had been legally acertained that the baby is only Tinsley''s and now that she is married to you, of course, you be the father if you want to...?"


    Kian did not say another word as he ran his eyes over the file. He borrowed the file from the doctor and gave it to hiswyer for review. The doctor allowed it.


    He did not dare to step inside the cabin where she was sleeping peacefully, not before he heard it from hiswyer.


    He waited impatiently, contemting if he really wanted to ept a child, that was not his...if he wanted to go on with it??


    He knew that he could never have her now that this child was in the equation. Five minutes after, his phone rang and he picked it up immediately and thewyer give him a green signal.


    He let out a breath that he had been holding it in for so long. All of a sudden, he felt free, felt alive...not trapped anymore.


    Madison''s word rang in his head as to how she had imed what else does it matter if that baby was a part of her also...if he could ept her back, could he not ept a part of her even if it was not his??


    He had lived a long with three miscarriages and perhaps at one point he had even given up on the concept of having children of himself.


    The first time, he was against the thought of a child was after Serena had left out of nowhere, right after the miscarriage and it led him to deny Tinsley of not wanting the kids when she asked for it the morning after their wedding night.


    Because everything was going fine with him and Serena and then this miscarriage had ruined everything.


    And he did not want that to happen between him and Tinsley. Yet,ter on, it was him who initiated to get her pregnant because he liked the idea of her carrying his baby.


    And then they had the miscarriage which ended up scaring her off from ever wanting to get ready for another one sooner than when he was ready.


    And the second time, it was entirely his fault now that he understood why it happened and he shall forever curse himself for it.


    Perhaps if he would have stayed back with her that night, nothing would have happened and instead of carrying another man''s child, she would have been carrying theirs.


    To think of, he had pushed her too far and now she did not even want toe back to him.


    And he was toote in time to start over again, not that he wanted that either. He was too attached to her that he could ever be willing to move on, now that he had her.


    When Tinsley''s eyes fluttered open, and she felt her throat dry from being thirsty. She tried to reach for the ss of water on the nightstand and ended up knocking it down the table.


    It got Kian''s attention and he immediately stepped inside without a second thought and poured another ss of water for her, sitting beside her, helping her up, he bought the ss closer to her lips.


    Tinsley was too thirsty to notice who was helping her. She gulped the water down her throat hastily. When she coughed, he rubbed her back and that was only when she tilted her head to see him.


    Their eyes interlocked and he was afraid that she would freak out to find him back, near her...


    Meanwhile, she was cautious about why he was here. The memory of his threatening with snatching her baby girl from her was very fresh in her mind.


    And instinctively, her hands wrapped around her bump protectively and he noticed that action. He understood why she did that and it made him sigh, in defeat that she thought of him as a danger to her and her child.


    She did not trust him with it. And he deserved that. But the moment he had stepped inside through the door, he was no longer going back.


    He extended his hand and ced it on her covered bump, Tinsley was taken back by his action.


    It was in the exact moment, baby Ava chose to kick, making them know that she was present at the moment and it was a miracle for Kian for he had never felt something like it.


    He ced both his hands, wondering how it could be, a smile graced his face when he felt the kicks were directed to where he would touch.


    "He is kicking!"


    "It''s a she!"

 Chapter 226 - AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE!

    He extended his hand and ced it on her covered bump, Tinsley was taken back by his action.


    It was in the exact moment, baby Ava chose to kick, making them know that she was present at the moment and it was a miracle for Kian for he had never felt something like it.


    He ced both his hands, wondering how it could be, a smile graced his face when he felt the kicks were directed to where he would touch.


    He moved his palms around as he felt the kick too following him. Tinsley was too astonished. It was as if baby Ava was responding to the touch.


    "He is kicking!"


    Kian said, totally being amazed by it. He had never felt or seen something so unexpected like this.


    "It''s a she!"


    Tinsley corrected him and his eyes fell upon hers. It was the first time after what had urred in the restaurant.


    She was clueless as to what to do...what to say and whatnot. She was also sceptical about how to treat him...ignore or just be formal??


    She did not want him to get angry either and then drag her to the court, battling for Ava''s custody for she knew that he would do, he could do it...


    The best trick here was just to be formal and not raise his temper up. Now knowing that they were still married, she was scared of her future.


    Kian remained static as she ran her evergreen orbs over his grey ones. His hands were pasted on her belly and a tight kick made Tinsley curse out.


    She held onto the spot and winced. The kick was hard. Kian immediately withdrew his hands to rub her back.


    "Hey? Are you alright?"


    He implored being concerned. She nodded after a while and he sighed in relief. For once, he thought she was having those dreaded cramps. Their moment was interrupted by the doctor.


    "I see you are up, Tinsley!"


    The doctor greeted and Kian rose up from sitting on the bed, beside her. The doctor began to narrate her vitals.


    "You are alright and so is the baby. But now that you are going to enter the seventh month soon, you need to be more careful with everything...only two months would be left before you deliver your child, Tinsley..."


    Both Tin and Kian intake a sharp breathe, thinking how close she was to birth her baby girl and for Kian to see his wife give being a mother to someone else''s child.


    The two months left in between could change a lot of things. And Tinsley was sure to carry on with these two months very carefully.


    "I would suggest you start working less because you need rest at this moment. "


    The doctor advised and it was the harder part knowing she could not just yet drop out from work otherwise she would have to return back to work soon afterwards the baby was delivered, using up her maternity leave sooner.


    "And also if you are leaving alone, I would ask you to have someone close by, living with you at your disposal so that they can be near you in your time of immediate need."


    It was at that moment Kian decided to step in and take the opportunity of the chance.


    He knew that he had only these two months in between to earn her trust back and to prove that he was willing to provide for this baby, even if it was not his...he wanted to try and give it a shot.


    When Tinsley was in a grave thinking about what to do with needing people at her disposal.


    Although Jessica woulde forward, she could not rely much on the old woman after everything she had been doing for her.


    And maybe, she thought it was about time, she could call either Madi or Lana toe by since they had been asking to visit her for so long and she had denied it...but now the time seemed right.


    She would really need someone during her delivery. It was an emergency to have someone close by and she was hoping that Madi would be free to stay.


    "I will leave you two to decide the rest of the things up. And you can be discharged right now if you want!"


    The doctor dered and Kian spoke up.


    "I could stay...I mean can, of course, look after for the two months anding months..."


    "No need, I will contact someone else."


    Tin stopped him and by now the doctor knew that their rtionship was aplicated one.


    "I can look after..."


    "I will hold it in myself, thank you!"


    Kian pressed but Tinsley remained adamant and the doctor decided to drop in at that moment.


    "You know it will be good if you let him stay...since he is your husband!"


    The doctor let out, biting her lips, not really wanting to step in a personal matter and she was outright after that to let the couple decide on their own.


    "The doctor said it so..."


    "Still..."


    Before Tin could say something more, Kian strode closer to her and she sealed her lips, keeping his eyes upon him, not wanting to provoke him into dragging her to the courthouse.


    "It is decided then I will take you home!"


    He finalized. He could tell that she was still intimidated by him and for her to let him stay, he needed for her to remain like that or else, she would not wait a second before kicking him near from her.


    She was a bit confused that which home he was going to take her to? Was he going to take her back to Richmond?


    "To my home?"


    She implored and he turned around to see her. She was still seated on the bed, unmoved till she knew where he was going to take her.


    "Of course! Nowmon...please!"


    The soft ''please'' from him, made her ultimately step out of the bed and they both walked outside.


    She chose to stay sit in the back and he was a bit upset by that act but he did not argue. She was d to see her bag and coat inside the car. Kian had collected it from the restaurant and also asked his guards to drive back to their base.


    The driveway was silent. The city lights reflected on the ss window as it moved backwards, the Mercedes raced forward.


    Soon they were home, and as Kian parked the Mercedes on the street corner for she had no spot to park in her small front yard.


    He helped her out, with the big bump, it was a bit hard to get out like any normal person. He picked up her leather coat and also the bag.


    Before she could unlock the door, Jessica, came out from the other house. Tin tilted her head to greet the old woman.


    "My.y!! You are fine! I heard you left early from the diner and took so long to arrive, I thought something was up!"


    The olddy touched Tin''s face, worried, checking out if she was alright. Tin nodded that she was fine.


    "I forgot to give you a call, I m sorry!"


    She apologized. She could tell the old woman was tensed for her. Jessica then turned her gaze over to Kian, who stood there ideally, holding the coat and her bag.


    "And who is this?"


    Jessica implored and before Kian could open his mouth to answer, Tin stepped in.


    "He is Kian...here to drop me!"


    Kian could see that she was hesitant to introduce him as her husband and to not rile her up, he decided to stay silent.


    "I m Kian! "


    He went along. Jessica had her eyes scanning the young man from head to toe, trying to figure things out herself.


    "I bet your face resembles with a man thates in the TV often...the magazine!"


    Jessica''s eyes wore the red clothes of suspicion and it was Tin''s cue to drag him inside the house before Jessica found out who he really was and what he was doing here.


    "It''s cold...we better get inside!"


    She excused herself and held Kian''s wrist and pulled him inside, bidding night to the old woman, who had her eyes on Kian briefly.


    Tin stepped inside the living room and turned around to see him putting her coat in the hanger as if he knew that she hung it there all the time. He also kept the bag behind the coat, hanging it up.


    She had no idea how could he know but then the cold winding from the window made her turn to look at it and she saw two of his guards on standby mode.


    It was all clear to her that he had been watching her all these long and she very angrily, stomped near the window and closed it with a thud, annoyed to no extent.

    Jessica implored and before Kian could open his mouth to answer, Tin stepped in.


    "He is Kian...here to drop me!"


    Kian could see that she was hesitant to introduce him as her husband and to not rile her up, he decided to stay silent.


    "I m Kian! "


    He went along. Jessica had her eyes scanning the young man from head to toe, trying to figure things out herself.


    "I bet your face resembles with a man thates in the TV often...the magazine!"


    Jessica''s eyes wore the red clothes of suspicion.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison heated the chicken soup again and bought it up to Anna Maria''s room.


    The old woman was sick again and was stubborn to eat anything unless Madison spilt everything out to her.


    Chicken soup was her favourite and Madi was trying to get her grandma to eat it by luring her with her food weakness.


    "Common nana!!! Eat it!!!"


    She pestered. Anna Maria did not even spare a nce in her way. Madi was tired of nagging for sometimes now. The old woman was not going to let go easily.


    "How will you have your medicines if you do not eat anything at all??"


    Madi tried to reason with sense yet to no use, Anna Maria kept a straight face, staring at the wall.


    Madi looked back at the nurse, the care taker, she had appointed to look after her grandmother was and now she could understand what the nurse was telling her...about how much hard it was to get her nana to oblige by.


    Madi dropped the bowl on the nightstand, giving up. There was no way, she was going to let go this easily.


    "Fine!!! You want to know the truth...let me say it for you..."


    Madi started and it instantly got Anna Maria''s attention. She gave her side gaze to her granddaughter.


    "Lana is sick!"


    "John told me the same thing...what kind of sickness??"


    Anna Maria implored and Madi closed her eyes, telling the truth in the process.


    "She had stomach cancer."


    It was a whisper, but Anna Maria heard it and let out a small gasp. She could see how much her granddaughter was in pain at that moment.


    "The doctors are doing the therapy and all the possible treatments but they think, she would need an imnt. John is looking for her matching donor but no luck yet...I do not know even what is to happen next..."


    Before Madi could break down, Anna Maria pulled her in for a hug and the tears seeped out of her eyes soaking her cheeks and the old woman''s sweater.


    "So many things have happened!"


    Anna Maria spoke to herself, rubbing Madi''s back, trying to soothe her up. She could not take the fact that both her daughters were going through such a rough patch at the time being.


    "Everything will be fine!!..we all know that.You do too!! Don''t you??"


    But Madi shook her head in negative. She was not sure this time if everything was going to be fine.


    Not to mention after what she had done. The kind of sin, she hadmitted which had no forgiveness at all.


    "I love her so much!!"


    She cried out. And Anna Maria nodded. She knew and saw how much Madi loved Lana. It was very obvious to anyone who stood ten feet apart from them.


    "What will I do without her??? What I m going to do, nana???"


    She sobbed her heart out. At the hospital despite of all that was happening, how heartbreaking it was to watch her go through those therapies and treatments, yet Madi could never break down before her...she had to maintain this strong, boldface for her...to give her support.


    But inside, she was breaking down into pieces, tiny ones and there was no way she knew how to fix herself if something gravious, horrendous happened to her??


    Anna Maria pulled Madi out of her embrace and rubbed her tears off. She could not see her granddaughter in such a state.


    "Ask her hand in marriage, my child! "


    And it shook Madi''s entire core and feature. She was not expecting her grandma to give her such advice.


    "When you have limited time, you got to start acting fast and if she is the one for you, my child...then what is there to wait for more for??"


    All at that time, Anna Maria wanted was to make her do the one thing, she would have done if Lana was still not sick and might regret itter for not acting upon the matter when there was still time left.


    "But...how..."


    Madi was clueless. She just did not understand how a marriage could be possible in a time like this??


    And would Lana even agree to wed with her after what she had done??


    Even though she was reacting as if she did not remember but Madi could tell that sooner orter, she was going to remember everything and then everything would be over for good.


    "There are no buts...if you love her...do it. So thatter on, when it iste, you do not repent that you did not do it sooner..."


    Anna Maria pressed and Madi could not match her eyes with the old woman, not wanting to let her know what kind of betrayal she hadmitted on Lana.


    "I did something bad, nana...I..."


    "What did you do??"


    Anna Maria was stern and serious when she asked Madi about it. She just hoped her granddaughter did notmit a heinous crime where there was no redemption.


    "I cheated on her...with someone close..."


    Madi finally let out, closing her eyes with nothing more to say anymore. Anna Maria just watched her with silence.


    "What do I do??? What do I do, nana!!!"


    Madi urged as she could feel the stiff judgement from her own grandma. She did not want grandma to look at her like that.


    "It''s all up to her now, Madi!"


    It was all she had said and it was all Madi had to listen to before she left her grandma in the care of the nurse.


    On going back to the hospital, she saw John, waiting for her in the lobby. She very slowly strode towards him.


    "You are back!"


    John greeted her. Madi nodded not knowing what to say or how to react.


    "She is fine...she is for all the tests today!"


    He informed her and they could see how awkward, things had been between them ever since.


    With everything going on, every incident, every look of judgement, disgust, directed to her...Madi felt suffocated and in that midst, she looked up to see him.


    Her surrounding went frozen, her senses had bid farewell sheunched herself up and grabbed his face in her hands, mmed her lips against his.


    She was using him as her fair escape from reality and John could see that. He could feel it. Things did not go well with her grandma. He could sense it.


    But he could not help himself and question if this was what they say love being their weakness??


    Madi had pulled him to the empty closet nearby the cabin. The hospital at that time was not much crowded. It being the private VIP area.


    She fumbled with his belt, he let her do as she wished and when they both connected with each other...it was this mind-shattering pleasure, peace, the euphoria that Madi could not help herself froming back for it...again and again....


    What worst was none of them even felt guilty about it!

 Chapter 228 - A LOUD SCREAM ECHOED IN THE HOUSE...

    "What are you doing here??"


    Tinsley asked, turning around, after closing the window and finding him still in her house.


    "What do you mean?"


    Kian implored, not understanding her at all. There was a fear that she might ask him to go out and he was nowhere willing to do so.


    He was looking forward to staying with her here if it was the only way he would be staying near her in this small apartment, he was going to do so.


    "Should not you be heading to your hotel or any of your spare condo in San Francisco?"


    Tinsley questioned. She was not going to let him stay here. It was totally not possible...he and her not going to stay under the same roof.


    And even if he would induce himself to stay here, where was he going to sleep?? She thought to herself.


    "I did not book for any hotel!"


    Kian replied. She narrowed her eyes at him.


    "Then go to your condo!"


    "Don''t have one here!"


    He innocently answered and she was having a hard time believing him. She had seen and read about how he bought several secluded inds for God''s knows what reason?? And to say, he did not have any condo here??


    "Then maybe just get one or book a hotel...do whatever you like...I m tired and need a good night sleep."


    Tinslemented and Kian raised his hands up in surrender, letting her know that she could go ahead and do it.


    "Fine! You go...you had a long day..."


    He said and it made Tin annoyed at the way how cool he was acting. It was not as if he had not been threatening to take her to the court a while ago.


    "What about you??"


    "What about me??"


    Kian reverted the question back to her instead. He knew that she was insisting for him to head out but he was not going to...he was just hoping she would not get too riled up and kick him out of the house.


    "What are you going to do??"


    "Me??"


    Kian pointed his forefinger at himself, acting as if he was clueless, she had been meaning him all this while.


    Tinsley very well knew what he was doing. It was obvious he was trying to y the naive one and she was only controlling herself from screaming and yelling at him to get the fuck out...because it was not good for her baby girl...


    "Who else?"


    Tinsley rolled her eyes at him, and he strode forward, making her self conscious about what he was going to do next.


    He took his ce on the sofa and she got her answer. She just shrugged and left inside her bedroom, closing the don''t behind her.


    "What a night!"


    She mumbled to herself and went to the bathroom to change into her nightwear. She washed her face, applied her cream and rubbed the organic oil all over her bump to avoid stretch markster.


    When she was out and about to get on her bed, a knock was heard on the door. She sighed and sat up.


    "What is it??"


    She yelled out, pulling the duvet close to her chest. Hearing some fumbling on the other side, he spoke up.


    "I need to use the washroom! Can Ie in?"


    Kian requested. Tin closed her eyes and let him in. The door hung opened and in came Kian.


    He had worn his coat off, rolled his shirt sleeves up and the first four buttons of his shirt were undone.


    "I will be quick...you can switch the lights off."


    He said and disappeared inside her mini washroom. All she could think was if he could even fit inside, without knocking her things off.


    Kian closed the door, and his nose got hit by her intoxicating feminine smell. The bathroom was a size of a cube and he could not even get around without getting stuck.


    There was no bathtub, no showerpartment. Only a small ss, vanity, toilet nearby and the shower feet apart.


    He could only think how she had been surviving here for so long? He wore his shirt off and hung it on the hanger but knocked down her clothes off.


    "What is it??"


    Tinsley shouted when she heard the noisesing in from the bathroom. Kian had messed everything down.


    His right hand knocked off her small cab, containing her toiletries off mistakenly and he cursed out.


    "Everything is fine!!!"


    He answered back, not wanting for her toe and check upon him. He did not want her to get irritated and kick him out in the middle of the night.


    "It is just too small!!"


    He let out, picking up her clothes and hanging them back on the hanger. Tinsley rolled her eyes.


    "Then just go somewhere it is big!"


    "No!!! I m absolutely fine here!!!"


    Came his reply, in the sh of the second and she gave up, switching the lights off,ying back on the bed.


    Kian also settled every item back on the cab. Hisst step was to pick her underwear up and he could not help but notice that she was using different bra sizes.


    The image of her heavy breasts, hanging out of her chest in that pink dress in the diner made him curse out and he felt himself straining against his pants.


    He kept her bra up and to notice her white panty, he could not help but think if she was a sleeping bare and the very thought made him hard as he had ever been for months.


    "Fuck!!! Hell no!!"


    He looked down at himself and there was no way he could walk out of here with this hardness poking out...she would sure misunderstand everything.


    He took off his pants and also the boxer. And his cock sprang out as a hard pole. He turned the shower on and it was cold and he was d so that it would get him rid of this unwanted erection.


    Listening to the shower running, Tinsley thought about what he was doing in the cold water??


    Kian was beyond aggravated to see that he was still rock hard and there was no way, this hardness was going away...his mind was full of all the sinful thoughts about her...her delectable body.


    It had always been like that. When had he gone one day without fucking her brains out when they were living together??


    And now without months of having any sexual intercourse, not to mention how he had remained calibrated so far after seeing her and not dragging her and spreading her legs apart...was beyond him.


    He could tell by now that it was not going to go off. He needed to let himself off. He turned the shower off and sat on the toilet seat.


    He started jerking himself to her thought. All he could think was what a shame that he was blowing himself off when he had a very sexy wife, sleeping right next door!!


    When it took longer, he took her panty and sniffed it. He looked like one disgusting pervert but it was only his wife''s underwear. He had done more than sniffing her panty in the past.


    It smelt like her core and it made him crazier. A deep mad craving to have her sted through all the cells of his body.


    Meanwhile, Tinsley was tossing and turning in her bed, wondering what he was doing inside...what was taking him so long??


    Kian started to close his eyes and picture her naked body. He could just pull out his phone and swipe through all the nude pictures, he had of her but at this moment, all he wanted to see was her changed body...the pregnant one.


    He had done his fair research about pregnant women and their bodies. He could not help but be informative.


    If he was going to let his way back into her, he needed to be prepared and ready. He needed to make her feel that he was for really wanting her back in his life...baby or no baby. He just needed her back with him.


    He had seen that glow in her face, the one that made her look so bright and refreshing.


    He had noticed her gaining weight...it suited her small frame. Her breasts...fuck!!!


    He cursed...he could tell that they were heavy with her milk and it was a sinful fetish of him to have those but not anymore...they were standing in a very different situation.


    He started running his hand up and down furiously, with all the dirty workouts he would do with her.


    He was going to have to wait before she would even allow him close to standing near her...and it might take longer if he did not behave himself.


    When she heard a groaning noise, she rose up and strode towards the bathroom...it made her worried about what he might be doing inside for so long.


    And when the door hung opened, a loud scream echoed in the house!

 Chapter 229 - HOLY JESUS! WHO IS THIS???

    PRECAP


    "Ask her hand in marriage, my child! "


    And it shook Madi''s entire core and feature. She was not expecting her grandma to give her such advice.


    "When you have limited time, you got to start acting fast and if she is the one for you, my child...then what is there to wait for more for??"


    All at that time, Anna Maria wanted was to make her do the one thing, she would have done if Lana was still not sick and might regret itter for not acting upon the matter when there was still time left.


    "I did something bad, nana...I..."


    "What did you do??"


    Anna Maria was stern and serious when she asked Madi about it. She just hoped her granddaughter did notmit a heinous crime where there was no redemption.


    "I cheated on her...with someone close..."

    When she heard a groaning noise, she rose up and strode towards the bathroom...it made her worried about what he might be doing inside for so long.


    And when the door hung opened, a loud scream echoed in the house!


    He was caught off guard with their eyes interlocked. The scream just came out of her mouth involuntarily.


    He did not realize the fact that the door had no bolt. Of course, it did not have, being a ce solely for one person. He thought to himself.


    He grabbed her panty and dropped it over his hardness. She could not part her eyes from the scene...as if it was one of the crimes.


    His eyes took in her form, dressed in a flimsy nightmare, doing absolutely nothing to cover her thighs, now thicker than before or her tits...he could tell that she was not wearing any bra.


    When Tinsley felt his eyes upon her, she realized with what state she hade, rushing to check up...no words were being exchanged as the door closed behind and she left.


    He sighed and closed his eyes for ruining the things up once again. How was he going to match eyes with her and let her know that he had only good thoughts for her...for them??


    Tinsley plopped under her duvet, pulling it till her neck...trying to hide herself from the present situation. She was just feeling too many things.


    After a while, she heard the doir swing open and out came, Kian, very carefully, in the dark, not wanting to wake her up from her sleep in case she was asleep.


    He took that time to check out her small, cosy bedroom. The room was lighted with the partial lightinging through the blinders of the window from the streetmps.


    A bed, big enough to fit two people, a closet to the left, two nightstands, a small bureau and a bigmp, beside the bed and then the attached bathroom.


    Some would not believe that her, being an heiress before was living in such a small box, called to be her residency at the time, working in a cafe and diner for a living...he could not help but pity her situation.


    He strode towards her and watched her sleeping face. He leaned forward and pecked her red, parted lips softly, not wanting to wake her up from her deep slumber. He promised to take her away from here...not for his sake but for her''s.


    He closed the door behind him getting out of the bedroom and Tinsley let out a big breathe out.


    For a moment, she thought that he would try to seduce her after what she saw him doing in the bathroom. What worst was...she would have given in and that made her want to choke herself.


    Kian settled himself on the small sofa. His feet were hanging down because he was too tall for to fit in.


    He cursed himself...at his luck for what he was doing to get back on his wife. He had already asked his assistant to take care of the matter for a week. He was very sure to take her back with him in a week time.


    The next morning sun shone sooner than expected and Kian was fast asleep on the ufortable sofa.


    Tinsley woke up as her rm went out. She strode her tired heavy body to the bathroom and could not help herself when she recalled the incidents fromst night.


    Was he still here??


    How could he be though??? He could not be living in such a poor condition?? Could he??


    She thought to herself and it could be the reason why she did not try to push him away from the house when he had urged for staying back...for she knew or perhaps thought that he could never stick in here for that long..could he??


    She had no idea if he was here either so with fingers cross and a positive vibe, she opened the door of her bedroom, closing eyes and opened to see him, there...lying on the sofa, very ufortably with no shirt...only the boxers on.


    She shook her head, not being able to take it. She closed her door back, louder, hoping he would take up and leave after she was done, getting ready for the day.


    Done brushing her teeth, floshing it, getting a warm shower, and wearing one of those white open body maxis...she loved those now that she felt so hot, out of nowhere these days.


    She was d that she had ate shift at the baker today and following the doctor''s advice, she was going to reduce her time ofbour, not wanting to take her maternity break just yet.


    When she got out, he was still there and she for one almost forgot that she had in unwanted guests, sleeping out on her sofa.


    For once, she could tell that he had ate night and so he was still sleeping, without a care in the world at almost nine in the morning.


    Plus, she could not ignore how ufortably he wasying on the sofa. He must have felt cold, with no nkets to cover him??


    She halted her trains of thoughts right there, from giving him mixed signals and just casually strode towards the kitchen to cook her breakfast. It was not her fault, he was being stubborn and not giving up.


    When she heard the knock at the front door, she could tell it was Jessica with her morning pie. She smiled with happiness...food always made her happy these days.


    "Good morning, sugar plum!"


    Jessica greeted and handed her the pie. Tinsley epted it without a word, smiling with thank fullness.


    "Wait up, I bought some kale sd that you wanted to try from the diner...I will bring it up."


    Tinsley said. The old woman could not afford to donate a fortune in trying some fancy sd in her diner so she had saved up a bit fromst night in her bag amidst her shift, solely for the olddy.


    Jessica''s old face lit up and waited when Tinsley went inside to grab the sd. She would have given it freshst night but after all the drama, she had forgotten herself about it.


    When Tinsley was pouring the sd from the tin foil to a bowl, she did not think that Jessica woulde inside and see her almost naked husband...whom she had introduced to her as a stranger dropping her home, nowying naked with no clothes on, except for the boxer on her sofa.


    "Holy Jesus!!! Who is this??"


    And that made Tinsley turn around almost immediately to see Jessica looking at Kian with big saucer eyes.


    "Shit!!!"


    She whispered and walked up to where Jessica was standing. Hearing themotion, Kian woke up at that moment.


    He opened his eyes, partially to see the two women gawking at him. He abruptly sat up, getting reminded of his situation.


    He searched for his shirt, to cover himself up and Tinsley tossed him her scarf from the chair. He grabbed it.


    "Are you not the stranger dropping Tin home??"


    Jessica questioned, with narrow eyes.


    "What are you doing here??"

 Chapter 230 - CANT CONTROL MY FUCKING LIFE!

    "Holy Jesus!!! Who is this??"


    And that made Tinsley turn around almost immediately to see Jessica looking at Kian with big saucer eyes.


    "Shit!!!"


    She whispered and walked up to where Jessica was standing. Hearing themotion, Kian woke up at that moment.


    He opened his eyes, partially to see the two women gawking at him. He abruptly sat up, getting reminded of his situation.


    He searched for his shirt, to cover himself up and Tinsley tossed him her scarf from the chair. He grabbed it.


    "Are you not the stranger dropping Tin home??"


    Jessica questioned, with narrow eyes.


    "What are you doing here??"


    It only rmed Jessica, thinking who was this young man. Tin was panicking about how she could divert Jessica''s attention and let her out of the house.


    Kian got up, not knowing what to say and what not for he knew that one wrong word used, he would end up getting his path tossed with his wife and he for one, at that moment, wanted anything but that.


    "He...he..."


    "I crashed here for the night because my car got t tires."


    Kian blurted out, interrupting Tin and for once, she was grateful to how he covered up for her.


    "Well, that is not how you sleep without clothes in a single woman''s house, boy!! Learn some decency!"


    Jessica spat, ring at him, his entire form from top to bottom and maybe, it was for the first time, he felt self-conscious and insecure under someone''s gaze.


    "Now don''t stay there, standing, gawking at us...off you go, put your clothes on and get the hell out of here!!!"


    And it was enough for Kian to be on his feet, moving speedily in the direction of the bedroom and to the bathroom.


    "Where is he going now??"


    "He is going to put his clothes on in the bathroom."


    Tinsley said, trying to calm down the old woman and in the midst of it, she could not help theughter, she was suppressing it in herself as she saw how the man, who nobody dared to even look back at, was getting scolded by an old woman.


    "Being kind is a wonderful thing but do not let a stranger live in your ce like that...you do remember the incident when your house got robbed..dont you??"


    And standing on the corner of the bedroom, listening to the conversation, he could not be more riled up, worried about her protection, thinking when her house got robbed. There was so much he did not know about...what had happened to her in these past months.


    "Keep me updated when he is gone."


    Tinsley nodded, handing her the sd and the olddy was out, lovingly bidding her farewell for the moment.


    At least, she had someone who cared for her and after her when he was not there to do it himself.


    When she closed the door behind her, she looked in the direction of the bedroom, thinking what was he doing this time inside??


    And she was not going to be daring enough to check him out this time. Her face got heated, getting shes ofst night in her mind.


    She tried to divert her mind from wandering to the wrong ces and went to the kitchen to have her breakfast.


    She did not know whether or not she should leave a bit of breakfast for him? Was he entitled to after he literally threatened her of snatching her own child from her??


    But should she be in benefit of getting him all agitated and mad enough to drag her to the courthouse for real??


    She decided to leave two toasts on the te, near the coffee maker so that when he came, all ready to leave, he could see it and have it for himself.


    She took her sweet time, eating her pie, the toasts, munching on it as she sipped her ss of milk, asionally stealing nces to the bedroom, wondering where was he??


    She was gettingte for her shift at the bakery and she could not leave him in the house, all alone when she would be out.


    Then a few secondster, he finally made his appearance, dressed back on his shirt and pants. He dropped the coat on the sofa and headed towards her.


    His hairs were slick and wet from the shower and when he inched closer, she could smell his Cologne and it made her delirious, she looked away.


    "Uhmmm..."


    "I m gettingte for my shift at the bakery."


    Before he could say anything, she stood up, taking her empty te and ss to the sink to clean them.


    "I could do that..."


    Kian strode forward and grabbed the te from her hand, pushing her aside from the sink, turning on the faucet, to clean it up.


    "Didn''t the doctor tell you to take off from working?"


    He questioned, simultaneously, washing the dish off and ss, getting it dry and she helped in putting it back to its ce.


    "I have to pay my bills and save up for the baby so I can''t take off this early."


    Came her reply, and it made Kian annoyed, that she was still keeping this act up if being all independent.


    "I m here now so you don''t need to worry about those..."


    Kian said and she could tell, where this conversation was going to go. Their encounter about her first time getting a job, back that time, how he reacted by asking her to drop out when she only wanted to help him...he had not changed one bit.


    So she decided to ignore him instead and walked out of the kitchen to get her bag and wear her shoes to go.


    Her attitude was pissing him off as he could presume she was giving him the silence back yet again.


    "Hey...talk to me!"


    Kian stepped up to her, putting his hand on her shoulder and turning her around to face him.


    "I have nothing to say!"


    She answered and he closed his eyes as she tested his patience in the very morning and he was trying very hard not to let it all out.


    "Yes...you do! We do need to talk!"


    The intense eye stare at each other, not moving, not backing down. She was the first to pull out and push him aside.


    "I m gettingte!"


    She plopped down on the sofa to wear her shoes. He watched her for a moment and then walked up to her, standing before her stature.


    "You do know that we are married right?"


    And Tin took a deep intake of air, the very mention of the word marriage always gets her.


    It reminded me of her...what a failed marriage she had?? And here he was reminding her of that...the one thing she thought she would never end, which she did and ran away from it.


    "Thanks for reminding me! I keep forgetting. "


    She passed him a sly smile and stood up, walking past him. His patience was running short and he followed behind her.


    "Do not talk to me like that!"


    "Like how??"


    She posed, turning back to look at him. Her hormones were acting up. She could not bear the sight of him at that moment.


    "Like this...trying to act that you are all independent but you are not..."


    "Of course, I m...I m an independent soul..."


    Tinsley interrupted him and did not step aside or backwards when he strode towards her...in her directing, looking as intimidating as ever.


    But in her mind, she knew that if she would show him that she was affected by it, he was going to like it and she was not going to give him that joy.


    "You are married to me and that child, you are carrying...is mine now...so you better start acting like a proper wife when there is time..."


    Kian let out and it only got Tin chuckling at him.


    "Just why not give up??? Wanting to ept another''s blood as yours...give up Kian Randall!"


    And it hit him hard and he knew that she was intending for him to get hit by it, taking a step back and leaving her to be.


    But she was far from aware of the reality, he was not going to leave her...not today or ever in the future.


    "ying dirty or tell me I m too good to ept someone else''s blood as mine...legally, I m the father of that child you are carrying...I have an equal say as much as you on her behalf."


    He pointed out, holding her wrist and pulling her close to his body. She did know that he was going to beat around the bush with thew with her from henceforth.


    "Yet I m going to go work and you do not have any legal authority to control my fucking life, husband!"


    She spat and pushed him aside, grabbing her bag and getting out, pissing him off for good.

 Chapter 231 - TRUST ME BESTIE!

    "ying dirty or tell me I m too good to ept someone else''s blood as mine...legally, I m the father of that child you are carrying...I have an equal say as much as you on her behalf."


    He pointed out, holding her wrist and pulling her close to his body. She did know that he was going to beat around the bush with thew with her from henceforth.


    "Yet I m going to go work and you do not have any legal authority to control my fucking life, husband!"


    She spat and pushed him aside, grabbing her bag and getting out, pissing him off for good.


    Kian was stunned, watching her react that way and then leaving like that after pissing him off.


    Tinsley continued her walk to the bakery, asionally turning to look at her back if he was following her.


    She was did not want him to create another drama in her workce. Last night, what he did to Kyle, it was just uneptable.


    She did not even get the time to check up on him. She checked her phone for any texts or call. And the fact, that Madi had not returned any of her calls or texts was eating her up too.


    The bell rang as she opened the door of the bakery and the sweetdy at the counter greeted her.


    "Morning, L!"


    Tin smiled and got off her coat, wore her apron back and entered the kitchen. Bethany was there, helping with the dough.


    "Look who is here!"


    Tin walked up to her and Beth pulled her in for a hug. Their pregnant bellies get on their way of giving each other a warm embrace.


    "I heard what happenedst night from Kyle."


    Beth said and it instantly got Tin''s ear straight up. She did not think Kyle would tell Beth about it.


    "So is it true??"


    Beth implored, Tin poked her eyes into Beth''s, not understanding what she meant by the question.


    "What is true??"


    "That he...the guy is your husband?"


    And that was it...it was something Tin had thought, she could hide her past from this present...yet the past came knocking against her door.


    "Is it true??"


    Beth, slightly touched her arms, bringing her back to the present and it felt like there was no use lying to them...


    So she gave Beth a shaky nod. And she was freaking out if Beth would scream out in shock or astonishment but was d when she kept herposure.


    They resumed their work. None said another word after that and it was killing Tin inside to know what was going in Beth''s head.


    Pulling the dress down, he chained his zipper up. She licked her lips as she felt them dry and before he could say anything, she stormed out of the empty storage room in the sh of the second. He followed her and tried to call her back.


    "Madison??"


    But she kept walking away. By now, even he was annoyed and irritated by her behaviour....the way she was treating him.


    Instead of going after her, he decided to give her some time and clear her head. She was of course not in the right state of her mind at this point...or even before and during their act of shame.


    Doing the dishes and putting the ordered cakes in the oven, Beth walked out of the kitchen to install fresh cupcakes on the counter and then she saw him.


    She quickly slipped her phone out from the apron''s pocket and swiped it unlocked, to see the image of the man, Kyle had sent her the other night.


    She immediately turned around to go and stop Tin, before she woulde out of the kitchen, but out came, Tin, holding the tray of cupcakes and she smiled at Beth.


    When she saw the changedplexion on Beth''s face, she followed her gaze and then saw who it was...who was sitting on the booth, right at the front.


    Her eyes got stuck and she could not help but think how did he even know the address of the bakery. He only saw her working in the diner.


    But then when she sawst night, how two guards were stationed in the alley where she lived, it made sense and she was not shocked how he knew where she worked and what she did.


    "I will handle him."


    "Huh?"


    Tin was taken back to the present by Beth''s soft nudge. She looked at Beth, who was giving her those helpful eyes.


    "You go inside. He has not seen you yet...I will handle him."


    Beth offered. She could tell what it was like to see an unwanted person, back from your past, where that person had tormented and hurt you so much.


    "No use...he would create a scene if he finds out I m here...which of course he knows and I did note to him."


    Tinsley shook her head. She was aware of his short-tempered nature and how he was the kind of man, who would not hesitate twice to create a scene in her working ce.


    "Do not let him see that he still can bend you to hismands...I will handle him...believe me, I have done it enough."


    Beth pressed. She could see how much Tin was affected by this man, who was her husband.


    It was a surprise because she never thought she to be married for even a second when they first met.


    "I don''t think..."


    "Trust me, bestie!"


    Tinsley was about to oppose but Beth interrupted her right away. Upon, Beth''s insistence, she faces up and before turning around, she looked back at him.


    He was checking his phone, sitting all alone in the table of two. And the people, nearby were gawking at him, whispering things they knew about him...who the man was!


    And out of nowhere, he raised his gazes up and then their eyes got locked, before he could do anything, she sped inside the kitchen.

 Chapter 232 - A DEMAND FOR PROOF!

    PRECAP


    Pulling the dress down, he chained his zipper up. She licked her lips as she felt them dry and before he could say anything, she stormed out of the empty storage room in the sh of the second. He followed her and tried to call her back.


    "Madison??"


    But she kept walking away. By now, even he was annoyed and irritated by her behaviour....the way she was treating him.


    Instead of going after her, he decided to give her some time and clear her head. She was of course not in the right state of her mind at this point...or even before and during their act of shame.


    ________________________________________________


    He was beyond furious when she stormed out of the house, closing the door on his face like that.


    But then he tired to m himself down knowing her state...the condition she was in at the present moment.


    ''Pregnant women have constant mood swings and no one should mess with her."


    The line of advice of Dos and Dont''s! read in the Pregnancy Guide file he had downloaded in his iPhone.


    "Fuck!!!"


    He cursed, throwing the phone against the wall, getting irritated.


    How the hell, was he going to put sense in her stubborn head if he did not confront her just because she was pregnant and she was having mood swings??


    A knock on the door made him look back at the front door. For once, he thought, she must have been back to get something or perhaps, she had realised that shemitted a mistake?


    He quickly opened the door and saw that one person, he was never looking forward to ever see in this life.


    There stood, Jessica, with arms crossed against her chest, giving him that judgemental look...the one he had felt so insecure of in the morning.


    "What the hell are you doing here??


    For one, I know Tinsley had gone to her job...what is your work here??"


    The old woman narrowed her eyes at him, stepping forward as Kian took a step backwards.


    There was a high probability that if he tried to outsmart this old woman, or ended up hurting her ego in any possible way with his crude, nonchnt replies, she would end up calling the neighborhood for help and shit would go only downhill from since there.


    "Are you a thief??"


    Jessica suspected and when no clear answer came from his mouth, she held onto his wrist.


    Kian was taken aback as she started to check his shirt pockets, pants pockets, thinking he had stolen something from the house.


    "What the hell you are doing??? Touching me, old woman!!!"


    Kian angrily yelled and tried to push the woman off of him. Jessica was pushed off from him. He was a strong, muscr, tall man.She had to raise her head up high to look at him and talk.


    "I will call the police right now and also Joana..."


    Before Jessica could scream the names out, Kian held her back, enclosing her mouth with his hand and closed the door first, locking it.


    Jessica tried to protest. She was scared of her life at the moment. It was not how Kian had ever thought he would be handling an old woman like that in his life.


    But here, in a situation like this, he had no choice. There would be a huge problem, if he had called upon anyone from the neighborhood or involved the police...which in turn would have involved the media and the whole thing would have turned into a mess...not to mention, his chances, with his wife would have gone down the drain long ago.


    "I m not going to harm you, dammnit!!!"


    Kian said and made Jessica sit on the sofa. He raised his hands up to show her he was not going to hurt her in any way.


    "Who are you??"


    Jessica voiced out, scared for the first time. She did not dare move from her position.


    Kian thought for a while...what should be do?? Should he tell the truth??


    He was not leaving Tinsley for theing months or the next week until she gave in to go back home with him.


    And this old woman, here was her regr visitor. Of course, if not now butter, she was going to have her fair share of suspicions and what not.


    Old women were known to be nosey and suspicious about everything. He closed his eyes, thinking more about the situation.


    "I m her husband!"


    "What??"


    Jessica spat out, not being able to believe what her ears were hearing to. There was no way...was it??


    "I m Tinsley''s husband!"


    He stated clearly. He could see it in her eyes, that she was having a hard time taking his words as words. Of course...she was not going to believe him...after what he did a while ago.


    "I know it is hard to believe...but we had a fight and she left me...I was searching for her all these months because someone helped her in hiding her identity...now that I know, I m back here to take her with me back home to Richmond."


    He exined, not giving all the kind of information about why they had separatedut enough for the olddy to know and make sense of the situation.


    "Say something!"


    Kian requested, not knowing what was going inside that head of hers. He was so frustrated with all the drama he had been getting involved, right after the moment his jet hadnded in San Francisco.


    "I do not believe you..."


    Jessicamented and Kian was expecting that. He took a sit on the nearby stool, tired.


    "...not till you give me proof to believe your words..."


    It got Kian''s attention and he was quick to stand up and pick his phone up to give proofs to this old woman.


    "Fine then...I m not going to hurt you, just going to sit beside you to give proof."

 Chapter 233 - REVEALING IDENTITY!

    "I do not believe you..."


    Jessicamented and Kian was expecting that. He took a sit on the nearby stool, tired.


    "...not till you give me proof to believe your words..."


    It got Kian''s attention and he was quick to stand up and pick his phone up to give proofs to this old woman.


    "Fine then...I m not going to hurt you, just going to sit beside you to give proof."


    Kian said and waited for the old woman to say anything. It took a while for Jessica to nod her head in a yes, allowing him to sit beside her.


    He sat back and then unlocked his phone. He thought of showing the picture of their wedding certificate would give enough proof to this old woman.


    He went to his gallery and Jessica had her eyes straight on his phone''s screen. He went to the folder where he had her pictures saved.


    And the first picture that popped up was of Tinsleyying on the bed, naked, only the white duvet covering her feminine core...she was smiling look at him...


    Jessica poked his eyes at him as she swiped down through several such many nude pictures of his wife...


    He cursed under his breath as he kept shipping down. Lord, he did not himself have any clue of how many pictures of her he had clicked during their stay at that town apartment.


    All throughout that, till the time, he had reached the very awaited picture of their marriage certificate...the one he had been meaning to show all along.


    "Here, look at this...it is our marriage certificate, sealed with the stamp of Richmond Council. "


    He gave the phone to her for having a clear look at the picture. Jessica could see Tinsley''s name and also get a signature.


    But it could not be true just like that right??


    She questioned herself. People these days could edit any picture and present them to as proof to old women like her, thinking they could deceive them.


    "Why should I believe this is real??"


    And the question irritated Kian to no extent. Why should she not believe it since it was real??


    "You could have edited a picture and just showed it to me...you can''t fool me, young man!"


    And Kian wanted to bang his head against the wall. What else could he give this woman as proof to believe him...his words??


    "Why will I do such a thing?? She us my wife...and I m done trying to prove it to you...believe it or do not believe it...up to you...I m done proving to an old unknown woman..."


    Kian stood up, getting fed up with the game of trying to prove that he was speaking the truth.


    Meanwhile, Jessica swiped down through all those naked, nude pictures of Tin and some of them where they were both being intimate in a very eye spring way.


    Kian had not realized that his phone was still in the hands of the old woman, but when he saw her very attentively going through his phone''s content, he snatched it away from her hand.


    He pushed it back inside his pants pocket and could not help but feel that intimidating judgemental look directed in his way.


    "What??"


    "Husbands do not have such naked vulgar images of their wife!"


    Jessica remarked and Kian raised his eyebrows up, not understanding herpletely.


    "Then who has it?? I m her husband...of course, we had a lot of sex and so I have those pics...will I have it if I weren''t her husband??"


    Kian tried to reason with the old woman. He really needed her to believe him for his peaceful coexistence here.


    "People do not have sex only if they are married these days...for all I think is you could have taken advantage of her and now you are ckmailing her with those pictures you have of her...."


    Jessica countered back. And Kian could not help but shake his head in disapproval. This old woman was just something else...


    "I think you are a pervert, ckmailing her..."


    "Fuck it!!! I m not a pervert...damn!!! How could you even conclude that??"


    Kian stopped her frompleting that sentence. This conversation was not going anywhere good...he could see that by now.


    "Tell me...what will make you believe me?? One thing that will confirm all your suspicions to be wrong..."


    Kian proposed and at that moment, it seemed intriguing to Jessica, wanting to see just how far this young unknown man was going to go to prove her doubts as him saying the truth altogether.


    "Who are you for real?"


    She dropped the question because she always had this suspicion. From the very moment, she saw himst night, dropping Tin at home.


    She had seen him somewhere...somewhere meaning in the television, the front page of the magazine or the city centre billboard.


    His face was just so familiar yet when Tin denied abiding by that fact...Jessica could not just sit still.


    Kian knew that revealing his identity would be the end case. He always had a hard time whenever somebody knew who he was...basically, everybody knew.


    Whoever was active watching the news, The Economic Times or the business channel, had time to check out the Forbes magazine or any such other tabloids, his face in the billboard for being yet again the self-made billionaire for the second time...sure it would not take a genius to find out who he really was.


    His trip to San Francisco had been a top-secret one. He had spent a near million for the security to keep the paparazzi away from the entire county where he was going to be.


    If one civilian...just one came to leak it that he was here, all the money, all the hard work of his team would be flushed down the toilet in a sh of the second.


    "I m Kian Randall, CEO of the Randall International Corp.!"

    His trip to San Francisco had been a top-secret one. He had spent a near million for the security to keep the paparazzi away from the entire county where he was going to be.


    If one civilian...just one came to leak it that he was here, all the money, all the hard work of his team would be flushed down the toilet in a sh of the second.


    "I m Kian Randall, CEO of the Randall International Corp.!"


    And the long silence that followed after his confession, it was eerie and for a moment, he felt like the old woman was not even believing him by then too.


    "So does it mean...Tinsley is Tinsley Rutherford in real??...the heiress whose parents left her nothing...and you marrying her made your aunt, Valeria Wilson to disown you from the Wilson Oilpany??"


    Jessica implored and Kian just gave a short nod to all her questions. It was true. She just narrated their history together in a short note.


    "So basically I have been helping out an heiress all this along??"


    Jessica questioned herself. Never in her life had she thought of a thing as such that that would happen to her.


    Heiress...were no more less than what or how a princess was raised. Although it was a modern society, these titles no longer held so much importance and value in them...


    ...but Jessica was an old woman, an olddy who in her times had seen how the heiress used to live...and Tinsley being one and living all along in such a shady ce, allowing amoner like her to help her, be in her presence like that...made it so hard to believe.


    "Yes...but she is my wife now...no heiress. Being my wife is the same as being a fucking Queen!"


    Kian stated with pride in his tone. Yet he could not pinpoint out why she was resisting him so much now that he could provide for both her and the child, she was carrying.


    "Hush! You dumb man! You could be earning seven figures...or more but you were amoner, who married an heiress...do you know her worth??"


    Jessica let out. It was the same as amoner marrying a princess. And to that being pointed out, it was the root cause of all his insecurity so far.


    Her status...her birth status had always been a problem to him. And the fact that everyone knew about it was another problem.


    No wonder why Nathan, who could also be nominated as being an heir to the Anderson Industries so much boosted about himself being the right one for his wife....


    ...or how her own dead bastard of a father, arranged her marriage with a joke show heir like Herrington even when he could have found a better match for his only daughter.


    It was only because they were all heirs while he was just a simple man, who had climbed up thedders with his hard work and intelligence.


    No matter how much he earned, how much wealth he had, it could be surpassing those heirs could ever have but still, he was just amon man.


    And now that he knew the past...what he was, who''s the son he was??


    A gardener''s son, the one who worked under her father...she was the daughter of his mother''s employer...


    "So does it means our marriage is invalid?? I m not fit to have her as my wife??"


    Kian interrogated. He needed to know what people thought about their union.


    Of course, it started as a marriage of convenience to protect her but with time, the meaning of their marriage had surely changed.


    "Does not mean an heiress could not marry amoner...princesses keep doing that...what I meant to say was you are a lucky man...or were..."


    Jessica started. The old woman could see the hint of confusion, insecurity in the man''s grey orbs as he questioned his own marriage.


    "Something must have happened for her to leave you ande to live like that...leaving all the luxuryforts up, doing more than per time shifts in a bakery and diner to sustain herself, selling paintings in the city centre...an heiress, she was as you say...what could have gone wrong being married to you for her to leave everything behind?"


    And it made Kian close his eyes, and the brief sh of her crying out in pain as blood spurted out from her core as she clutched her abdomen in ache,ying on the floor...circted inside his head.


    "I m curious to know about that..."


    And the moment, Kian heard that he opened his eyes back. He could never let anyone know what had urred for them to be separated or else this old woman here was going to help Tin in getting rid of him.


    He just turned around, collected his Mercedes keys and strode towards the door.


    "I cleared your suspicions...you know who I m...you know who she is but if I find one paparazzi lurking around here...I will not hesitate to sue you in the court old woman...I m grateful for all the help you hadnded to my wife in my absence but her husband is here now...you better stay away from us now..."


    Kian threatened, going off and Jessica just smiled at that young man''s struggle to take his wife back home.

 Chapter 235 - A ROSE TO HER...

    PRECAP


    "I don''t think..."


    "Trust me, bestie!"


    Tinsley was about to oppose but Beth interrupted her right away. Upon, Beth''s insistence, she faces up and before turning around, she looked back at him.


    He was checking his phone, sitting all alone at the table of two. And the people nearby were gawking at him, whispering things they knew about him...who the man was!


    And out of nowhere, he raised his gazes up and then their eyes got locked before he could do anything, she sped inside the kitchen.


    ________________________________________________


    He checked his iPhone, sitting inside his Mercedes, parked around the corner, in front of the bakery shop.


    His head security texted him saying that the area was clear. He immediately after that text, grabbed his spectacles to conceal his face and a ck Adidas cap as he stepped out of the car and walked towards the bakery.


    The bell rang as he opened the door and saw several customers, eating and chatting. Ady at the counter...freshly baked cupcakes stores on the desk.


    No sight of Tinsley. He thought that she could have been inside the kitchen. He silently walked inside and took a seat at the front table.


    He checked his phone, getting constant updates about his security from his head guard as he sat, waiting for his wife''s arrival.


    "Something must have happened for her to leave you ande to live like that...leaving all the luxuryforts up, doing more than per time shifts in a bakery and diner to sustain herself, selling paintings in the city centre...an heiress, she was as you say...what could have gone wrong being married to you for her to leave everything behind?"


    The words of the old woman kept ringing inside his head. The more he wondered, the more he could see what a life she was living in...choosing to leave him yet she was not ready to go back with him.


    He knew that he was a veryplicated man to be around with. He never wanted to show his vulnerability to anyone else.


    He wanted to be in control of everything and when she came along in his life, she was like the first ray of light...the smooth petal of the white lotus, so fresh and refreshing...


    He wanted all of her to himself as he got more and more involved with her. Not like with any other women after his affair with Serena.


    He was a selfish man...he was not good for anyone...neither her but he had a taste of her, and he was not going to let go of her ever.


    He could see now why she chose to leave him, the way she chose to abandon Josh or everything her patents had offered her of...the luxurious, glittery life...a life with so muchfort, yet chained to the ground.


    She craved for freedom, a sense of independence of her soul and when she felt that threatened by him, she had packed her bags up.


    He had not been the best of the husband to her. He had surely given her all kinds of pleasures of the flesh yet he had failed to understand her desires, her aspiration at one point.


    The reason why where their marriage stood at that moment. He could see it, all in his head at that moment.


    Anna Maria had said when he went to visit her before he left for San Francisco, how her childhood had been not the ideal one.


    She had seen her mother suffer and die day by day in a loveless marriage and the terror of it was so fresh and had affected her mind to great extent.


    Perhaps, he had made her feel like her mother and she decided to leave all of it behind to not follow in the same footsteps as her mother.


    It was true that aftering to know what and how he was separated from his mother...for whom and who''s a fault...how could he not me her for it??


    Would she not have done the same??


    But they had entered into such a serious,plicated rtionship that parting ways, was just not the solution to this problem...


    He needed her and he would kill someone even before he could get in with her...


    In this life, she was going to have only him...and he did not mind staying married to her even though she was the reason behind every misery that followed his life after his mother''s death.


    And then he saw her...their eyes interlocked for a while and before he could move, she was out of there at the speed of light.


    Heid back on his chair as he knew, he would have to wait for another hour now before her shift was over.


    He married her to protect her, give her the life she deserved. It was never about him...yet she had turned it for them...created the ''us'' in them.


    And he was going to give her the life, she was born into. He was going to give her the dress in pink yet let her fly up the sky...as she had always wanted.


    He had bought all her paintings, she had sold out in the city centre with the help of his agents.


    Beth walked up to him as thedy at the counter asked her to take the order of that lonely man, sitting there for more than two hours without anything on his table.


    Beth stood before him. Kian looked up to see her, her very big pregnant belly catching his eyes'' attention for a while before looking up at her face.


    He thought in his head that this woman...had to be the famous, '' Bethany Wims'', who introduced artificial insemination to his wife and helped her with it.


    "I swear if you are here to hurt her, I m going to stab this inside your skin!"


    And it was only then he felt the tip of a share knife aimed at the corner of his abdomen. Bethany gritted her teeth.


    "Just give this to my wife..."


    He handed her a red rose and Beth was taken aback.


    "Tell her I m waiting for her here!"

 Chapter 236 - INTENTIONS!

    Bethany came back from the lobby into the kitchen and Tinsley had been holding her breathe thinking what was going out there.


    "Hey!!!"


    "Hey!!!"


    She greeted the moment, Beth entered inside and Beth passed her a little smile.


    She resumed with her work and it made Tin restless, wondering what had happened outside.


    None spoke a word and Tin could not pull Beth to have a little chat in the corner either for the schedule today was packed.


    Beth did not look up in Tin''s direction and continued with her task. She felt her gaze all through the time, yet she pretended as if to not notice and carry on with her work.


    She knew who he was...by now she also knew who Tinsley was. After the texts that Kyle had sent herst night with the photos, she had gone through google and did her fair share of research.


    What had led her to leave him? ...she had no inkling about any of it. But she could tell that something hard, something unsolvable had led her to take such a step.


    Once an heiress, now a wife of a billionaire, leaving her luxurious life behind, working at a bakery in the day, at a diner in the night, doing double shifts for money, living in a small studio apartment, selling paintings in the city centre anding to a point of carrying a child that was not her husband''s...a lot must have had happened.


    Beth had known her for more than six months now, and not once did she feel like Tinsley had in herself to be a bad woman.


    Instead, she found her to be a naive one in lots of things...perhaps her upbringing as an heiress answered why she was so clueless about simple things in life.


    They had be friends...good ones at that and sharing a unique bond of going through the most important phase of every women''s life...being a mother together...she cared about Tinsley.


    And she had not seen her as happier as she had been since the starting of her job here in the bakery.


    She was always sad, lost, morose and by that everyone here could tell she had been out of one bad hellhole...just like her.


    And since the journey of the pregnancy began, it was like a new hope of light for her that she was so brighter and bubblier than before.


    She was not going to let the return of a man...no matter if he was even her husband or a goddamn billionaire, she was going to let him drag her back to the ce, she for sure had escaped to find herself back again.


    So she dropped the icing, stopped doing what she had been doing since the moment she had stepped back inside the kitchen and looked over at Tin.


    Tin was working back again. Designing the car-shaped cake as instructed by the customer.


    Fifteen minutes...that long, she had been stealing mini nces of Beth, thinking when she would look back in her direction and she would signal her toe to her side so that she could ask what had happened...what did he do?? Did he leave or not??


    But now, she had given up and was giving her full attention inpleting her task before lunch so that she could herself leave and confront that man, obviously waiting for her to show up.


    Beth left and strode towards his table. Kian looked up at her. He had not drunk the coffee, she had served him...not even a sip.


    "I do not like normal coffee."


    Kian remarked, when he noticed, her eyes nced at the mug. He always preferred ck coffee.


    "Of course! You like it extravagant and we do not serve anything close to that or your billion-dor standard!"


    Beth gave him a sly reply, mocking him at the same time. She could see how his facial features changed. She could feel his calmness leaving him.


    Yet, she stood there, both her hands resting on her waist, challenging him to insult her back with anything...anything at all.


    Kian had had it enough. Back at the apartment with that old stubborn, suspiciousdy and now here, from a mere baker cum waitress...


    It was as if his wife had appointed these mini irritating, annoying, loyal securities for her before he could get to her...


    It was impressive how all of them were caring and protective of her. He felt at ease, knowing she had these people, not just one but twodies to look after her in his absence for so long.


    In the apartment, she had Jessica. Here at the bakery, she had Bethany and at the diner, ...even the thought of that guy made him so angry but he had found out, he always dropped her home in the night and also helped her with that burry incident.


    But all of them were wasting their protective instinct on the wrong person...he meant no harm to Tinsley.


    He was her husband after all.


    "I m not here for any of your services!"


    "Then why are you here, sir?? Care to exin?"


    Beth insisted. She was not letting him go clean just like that, taking peace away from Tinsley.


    "I m waiting for my wife!"


    His reply was straight and forward. He did not like to beat around the bushes and Beth could tell that he was getting annoyed by her presence already and she was here to test him for how long he could go on without putting off?


    Before she could give another sassy reply, L, thedy at the counter called her up to get back to her work.


    "I will take my lunch break now, L!"


    Beth said, and L nodded. She signalled Kian to get so that they could go outside and talk. Kian remained seated on his chair, not having any idea.


    "What?? Common get up!! Let''s talk outside."


    She proposed and after a second of thought, Kian gave in. Standing up from his ce, he followed her as they stepped out of the bakery together.


    He noticed that the rose, he had handed her to give to Tinsley, was still with her, inside her coat pocket.


    They had walked up to the backside of the bakery. It was calm from the front side, away from the noises of the city cars.


    Beth took out her warm drink and drank it, feeling the cold stiff weather outside.


    Kian gave her a weird look as he noticed her drinking from a small nub bottle where people usually store alcohol.


    For a moment, he thought that she was drinking even when she looked as heavily pregnant as his wife until she told him otherwise.


    "It''s a warm drink. Not alcohol!"


    Beth corrected him when she noticed his judgemental look. She slipped the bottle back inside her coat pocket.


    "So you are ok with having a rtionship with another man''s child, growing inside your wife''s womb?"


    It was the first question that she had dropped it in his way and he was sort of expecting a simr such kind of intervention from her side.


    "Yes...I m...I havee to ept it...if it''s not a part of me but it is going to be a part of my wife...and if I can ept my wife, why is it so weird epting a part of her?"


    Kian very shrewdly answered. He had followed the words that Madison had spoken out to him upon their visit.


    And as much as those words felt alien to him since then at that time, yet by then, to this day, at this moment, those words started making sense to him.


    Beth raised her eyebrows, not expecting such a nice exnation to her question. There were no loopholes that she could find in it and challenge it against him.


    "So you don''t mind?"


    She asked him again, looking in his direction and Kian poked his eyes back at her.


    "No, I don''t!"


    He shook his head in negative. There was a bit of silence after that until he voiced up first this time.


    "You did not give her the rose?"


    He implored and that made Beth, drop her gazes down to the rose, resting in her coat''s pocket.


    "I did not!"


    Beth replied and that made Kian question her back.


    "Why?"


    Beth took her sweet time in replying to that. She needed to know why he was here although it was very clear why??


    He hade to take her back...take Tinsley, his wife back with him to their home in Richmond.


    She had surfed the inte finding out where they lived, what they did, how they got together and in what kind of circumstances.


    To tell, she had known a brief about their life together and with everything that had happened, that she had read from the gossips from the tabloid, one thing was clear...they had a thing for each other!


    "I need to know what your intentions are before I give this rose to her!"

 Chapter 237 - LONGEST WALK OF HER LIFE!

    PRECAP


    Pulling the dress down, he chained his zipper up. She licked her lips as she felt them dry and before he could say anything, she stormed out of the empty storage room in the sh of the second. He followed her and tried to call her back.


    "Madison??"


    But she kept walking away. By now, even he was annoyed and irritated by her behaviour....the way she was treating him.


    Instead of going after her, he decided to give her some time and clear her head. She was of course not in the right state of her mind at this point...or even before and during their act of shame.


    ________________________________________________


    His trip to San Francisco had been a top-secret one. He had spent a near millio?n for the security to keep the paparazzi away from the entire county where he was going to be.


    If one civilian...just one came to leak it that he was here, all the money, all the hard work of his team would be flushed down the toilet in a sh of the second.


    "I m Kian Randall, CEO of the Randall International Corp.!"


    And the long silence that followed after his confession, it was eerie and for a moment, he felt like the old woman was not even believing him by then too.


    "So does it mean...Tinsley is Tinsley Rutherford in real??...the heiress whose parents left her nothing...and you marrying her made your aunt, Valeria Wilson to disown you from the Wilson Oilpany??"


    Jessica implored and Kian just gave a short nod to all her questions. It was true. She just narrated their history together in a short note.


    ________________________________________________


    Madison fed Lana her hot soup from the bowl in silence.


    The talk with the doctor regarding her ongoing treatment had not gone good. It was only more worrisome.


    She and John were both there when the doctor informed them that the only way Lana could get better was through a possible transnt.


    But the operation to perform such aplicated operation was very risky and chances were not all good.


    So by that time, the doctor had already passed them the message that after all these treatments, the nonstop tiresome procedure, Lana was not getting any better.


    And that the transnt was the only way. The big decision was to be made by then.


    Madi had left the doctor''s cabin without sharing any word with John. It had been like that since their time together in the secluded storage room.


    She had quickly gone back to Lana''s chamber where she excused the nurse to feed Lana herself.


    "Why are you so silent today?"


    Lana questioned. She could notice the sad mncholy colours on Madi''s face.


    Not like they had a normal chatty conversation on other days, but today, Madi was just awfully silent.


    "I know that I m not going to get better!"


    She let out. She knew that. Her brother and her partner did not have to worry about such a failing matter.


    It made Madi look at Lana. She smiled at her and held Madi''s hands in hers, sitting up straight on the bed.


    "It has been the reality all along. Do not try to turn a failing matter into a winning one!"


    Lana said and a lone tear escaped Madi''s eyes. She smiled at Madi, rubbing the tears away from both her cheeks.


    Getting the transnt done at the right time was theirst hope. But even after a month or two of searching for her matching donor, there had been no green answer to it.


    John was more than frustrated as he had ever been. He had taken leave from his work, imposing all the responsibilities upon his cab as he went around only looking for that possible donor.


    It had been a hard week. With not one good news, they both were losing hope day by day and could feel that bad feeling taking over them...their entire form.


    "I have epted it... it''s about time, you both do too...especially you!"


    Lana asserted and it was like a knock...a big hit to Madi''s heart and she broke down.


    From the outside, standing by the door, hiding his presence, John was listening to all of his sister''s words and it made his eyes water.


    He saw them hugging as Madi cried her eyes out and Lana tried to console her, rubbing her back.


    He could not withstand that sight and turned around to leave. It was the same as the one, twenty years from ago, his mother...dying like that...


    _________________________________________


    Just because Beth had gone missing in action, Tinsley had to cover up for her part of the task too.


    After a short lunch break, she tried to look for Beth almost everywhere but could not find her so eventually returned to get the work done for the limited time left.


    In the meantime, find out that he had left and was thereon more, she found relief in herself.


    Although she knew that the drama would be waiting for her back at the house.


    When the door hung open, she looked up to see Beth, who walked up to her position.


    "Where have you been??"


    Tinsley asked and Beth just smiled at her, wearing her apron back.


    "I had to cover up for half of your shift."


    Tinsleyined and Beth still did not say anything, taking up her position to start with her work.


    "Not a big deal, I have helped you out many times too!"


    Bethany remarked, rolling the dough. And that made Tinsley to tilt her head to have a nce at her.


    "I did not say I minded doing your task."


    She really did not mind doing her task. She just got worried when she could not find her and after a time where she went to confront him.


    "I just could not find you and that made me concerned!"


    Tinsleypleted. Bethany did not utter out anything and continued with her work.


    Before Tinsley was about to leave, Beth called her out and it made Tin to stop and turn around.


    "Take this!"


    She forwarded a rose in her direction and it made Tin, not understand the situation at first for why Beth was giving out a rose to her.


    Yet she epted it and pinned it to her hairs in the backside. Giving a sweet kiss to Beth, both resumed with their work silently.


    And when it was time to leave, Beth left first, still not saying anything to Tin rted to that...and it only made her wonder more what had happened.


    Tin collected all her belongings and walked out of the bakery. It was almost dusk and in the front, she could see him, leaning by the hood of his Audi, arms folded, in the corner.


    He looked up and their eyes interlocked. She held her bag tighter, not knowing what to do.


    He did not move from his position and waited for her if she woulde to him by herself or not. He was not going imply force to get her toe to him.


    After a bit of timpse, their eyes trying to find the right word tomunicate with each other, she gave up and turned around, walking forward.


    He could see that she was not going to ride with him and he ran up to her, crossing the road and got to her side.


    Tinsley looked at him, halting on her steps, expecting him to argue with her, scold her and try to push her towards his car.


    But when none such happened, she very slowly stepped forward and so did he.


    They did not talk throughout the walk and continued moving forward in the twilight, without saying a word.


    It was a very awkward walk of her life. She had a habit of talking and strolling with Beth or Kyle.


    They would talk about their day as they moved forward, some celebrity news, about foods, and mostly make fun of their bosses.


    It was what cut the time short from the shop to home walk yet with him by side, walking step by step together, it seemed the journey was just too long and draining.


    It felt like never-ending. There was not going to be a quick exit out from this path either as they had alreadye halfway through...turning around was not an option now.


    Mostly, she was expecting what might ur once they had reached home. She was worried and also anxious.


    Even though the doctor had asked her to stay away from worrying too much, excluding being anxious, but with his presence and his unsteady behaviour, she just could not help it in herself.


    Although she was trying hard to keep it stable. When they reached their alley, her steps got steadier, not wanting the neighbours to see her walking home with a stranger.


    She reached the doorstep and saw the pie from Jessica, lying on the porch, wondering why the old woman did note herself to give her.

 Chapter 238 - LETTING HER KNOW!

    Jessica watched through the window, secretly as Tinsley picked up the pie, she had baked for her for dinner.


    She had decided to keep away from the couple, for the time being, giving them the much needed time to heal and figure things out by themselves.


    It was weird for Tinsley to find the pie lying on her doorstep instead of Jessicaing herself and handing it out to her.


    The pie was hot too which implied that it had been kept in her ce not for long by then.


    Kian could see his wife wondering, holding the pie in her hands. He knew that she must have been thinking about the old woman.


    And then cursed under his breath, realizing how he had practically threatened the old soul to sue her in a court ofw if she loomed anywhere near him and her wife.


    "It''s getting cold!"


    He said, getting close to her and opening the door for her to get in as she was holding the pie.


    It made Tinsley to look back at him. Their faces were almost so close. His body passed to her back and she could feel his body heating from her.


    Their eyes interlocked, her lips half parted as the cold breathe vapour blew out from her mouth.


    He noticed her wearing the rose, pinned to her beautiful red hairs near her ears. He smiled, leaning to give a sweet kiss on the flower. It made Tinsley breathe in, closing her eyes.


    "It looks pretty on you!"


    She had thought of him dropping a kiss on her lips but it only ended up on the rose in her head.


    Was she disappointed that it did not happen otherwise??


    She herself had no idea as she turned around and before things could get more weirder, she stepped inside without a word.


    He followed in right after her, closing the door behind him, not before looking to the right and left, checking if anyone was there watching over them.


    Jessica saw the door is closed and with that, she too dropped her curtain off the window, wondering if they had shared a small brief kiss on their porch just a while ago?


    Before she could drop the pie on the table nearby to get rid of her coat and hang it up on the hanger but he did it for her.


    She then was about to lean down to open her shoes but he got down on his knees right away, hanging the coat up on the hanger.


    He untied theces and then peeled each of the shoes from her feet and dropped a sweet kiss on the top, making her breathe skip.


    He made her wear the slippers, looking straight into her eyes. He kept the shoes aside and then stood up.


    "Bending down in this time is not good!"


    He said, taking the pie from her hold. She let it go, without a protest as she was too duped into those grey orbs, surprising her with things, she had not really thought about.


    "I will prepare dinner...you go freshen up!"


    He pecked her lips and before she could even react, he was on his back, walking away towards the kitchen.


    She stood there, ideal, not knowing what was even going on. She watched him, moving around her small kitchen, taking things out to make dinner.


    He took out some fresh veggies from the fridge and started to chop them as if he was a pro.


    He turned on the faucet in the sink, raised his sleeves up, exposing his manly wrist, ran his fingers over the vegetables, washing them clean.


    She could not help when her senses took a different turn and her body started to react totally, entirely different watching him doing the chores with so much concentration.


    He turned the stove on and put the pan on it, spilling the oil over it. Soon he poured the peeled veggies on it, cooking it to its edible state.


    The way he moved his hands when he poured the salt and dipped his finger, bringing it up to his mouth to have a taste.


    She bit on her lips as she saw him licking his forefinger, totally focused on his cooking, oblivion of the fact that his wife was watching his every movement like a hawk.


    He was impressed that it tasted alright. He knew that she needed her food on time to be healthy and so only took a whole of five minutes to cook some fresh veggie snacks.


    He lowered the stove temperature and thought to call her out. And when he looked up, he saw that his pretty wife was still standing on her same spot, unmoving, her eyes trained over to him.


    "Dinner is ready!"


    He dered and it broke her stance. She immediately strode inside her bedroom, her cheeks flushed from being caught red-handed eyeing him all this while.


    She closed the door behind her and inhaled a huge chunk of air. She looked at her reflection, sshing the water over her face.


    She felt herself in heat. She looked different. She could still feel his lips against her lips even though it was only for a brief second.


    "Tinsley?? Dinner is getting cold!!!"


    His voice made her look away from the mirror. She quickly wore her maxi dress and walked outside.


    She stood on the threshold of the door, seeing him arrange the dinner on the mini dining table.


    When everything was ready, he called her in. She very hesitantly stepped towards him and he pulled the chair out for her to sit.


    He turned around and stood by her side as he poured her the boiled, cooked vegies and the bread to eat with.


    He waited until she ate the first piece in and looked forward to getting anyments orpliments about his food.


    When she did not say anything, he asked it out himself, not being able to anticipate any longer.


    "How is it??"


    And his question took her off guards. She looked up at him and saw how expectantly, he was waiting for her to say anything...even a word.


    She parted her eyes away from his, looking back at her te of food, she gave him a monotone answer.


    "It is alright!"


    And it was enough for him. He too sat down in his chair, facing opposite to her and poured the food on his te too.


    They both ate in silence, stealing sigh nces of each other from time to time without a word.


    It was all very different for Tinsley to have someone''spany while dining. For months, more than a half, she had been alone.


    Cooked alone, served alone, a tea alone in silence. And out of nowhere, she had a man cooking for her, serving her dinner and also eating together with her.


    Not just any man...but him...her husband!


    And here, he was eating a wholesome meal with not just any woman...but his wife!


    It had been ages since they ate together like this. Before it was so usual to be eating together and by now, today, it felt weird.


    "I have to tell you something!"


    He said, dropping his fork and spoon on the side of the table. It got Tinsley''s attention too and she looked in his direction.


    "What is it?"


    She implored. She was not like the tone, he had used and anticipated bad news on its way.


    He knew that it would be hard for her to listen to this but she would have to be told sooner orter.


    And with her condition, what the doctor had warned him about, he did not intend to give her all the shock together.


    "It''s about Madison and Lana!"


    And it hit her right...she could tell something had to be wrong with Madi or else, she would have never ignored her calls, or texts even...not when she had dropped the message of Kian dropping by.


    "Lana is sick!"


    He let out and Tin did not dare to say anything unless he was done saying. She waited impatiently for him toplete.


    "She has cancer back in her stomach and is now undergoing treatment..."


    "What do you mean the cancer is back??"


    Tinsley could not help it and interrupted him right away. She had never heard of Lana being sick ever.


    "Nobody knew...not even Madison that Lana was sick all along...all those months and a year before...she had made her brother swore to keep it a secret."


    Kian exined it to her and a heavy gasp passed out of her mouth. Kian could see how disturbed she was and he was yet to drop thest and final bomb.


    "She was undertaking the therapy but then things fell apart and her health got deteriorated...she had to be admitted in the hospital and now, only a possible transfer could heal her..."


    Kian borated. Tinsley did not underistand the things fall apart part.


    "What did things fall apart?", she asked, being curious.


    "Lana found out Madi cheating with her brother!"

 Chapter 239 - THE WORST MATCH TO ASK FOR HER HAND!

    PRECAP


    "I m Kian Randall, CEO of the Randall International Corp.!"


    And the long silence that followed after his confession, it was eerie and for a moment, he felt like the old woman was not even believing him by then too.


    "So does it mean...Tinsley is Tinsley Rutherford in real??...the heiress whose parents left her nothing...and you marrying her made your aunt, Valeria Wilson to disown you from the Wilson Oilpany??"


    Jessica implored and Kian just gave a short nod to all her questions. It was true. She just narrated their history together in a short note


    "So basically I have been helping out an heiress all this along??"


    ________________________________________________


    The next morning, footsteps moved forward in the hospital lobby and opened the door of Lana''s cabin.


    Madi was sleeping on the edge of the bed as usual with Lana sleeping peacefully on the bed.


    The curtains were draped over the window blocking the sunlight from entering the VIP cabin.


    The nurse came inside and John gave her way to get in. She walked towards the window and opened the curtains.


    The sound of it woke Nadi up from her slumber. She had no idea when she had dozed off after crying for hours on her beloved''s shoulder.


    She was afraid if she had drained Lana''s energy out for the day from having to console her all the time since yesternight.


    She looked up to see the same nurse in the room, opening the curtains and the windows to let the fresh air inside.


    She turned around and saw him, standing, leaning on the door frame. Their eyes interlocked but she was quick to part it away before it could linger too long.


    She stood up and did not bother to greet him, instead nodded at the nurse in recognition and got inside the attached bathroom.


    By then, John was used to having such cold treatment from her. From what he hade to know so far was that Madison Maria was oneplicated woman...mostly who had no idea, herself what she desired or wanted??


    From her red swollen eyes and pale face, he could tell that she had been crying longer than her whole life after he had left, not being able to listen to the painful words of his sister''s surrendering to the fight of life.


    As Madi sshed the cold water over her face, she could not help but notice how at ease he looked than he had ever did a month before.


    Ever since the admission of Lana to the hospital and her ongoing treatment there had been no peace and rest for their soul.


    The hospital had be her home where she slept and woke up for another new day to assist Lana in her treatments.


    John woulde up in the earliest morning as if he would be waiting for the entire night, looking for the sun to be up and he could see his sister, being the first-ever visitor of the hospital for the day.


    When she hade out of the washroom, Lana had woken up too. And the other nurse was helping her in getting fresh.


    John was not there anymore and she sighed in relief. It was a regr struggle to look at him and not drag him inside her.


    She hade to terms with her never fading lust for him while her undying, unconditional love for his sister existed together at the same time and same ne.


    It was hard toe to terms with it yet somehow for the sake of the mental peace she did...it was not easy regardless.


    Lana smiled at her and Madi smiled back, walking up to her side, she dropped a sweet kiss on Lana''s cheeks.


    "Brother bought this refreshing white lily from Paris...his fancy-ass!"


    Lana showed her the bouquet of the white lilies, resting on the nightstand.


    Ever since Lana had been admitted into the hospital, her brother woulde with different variety of fresh flowers to greet her in the morning every day.


    "Of course, he did."


    Madi muttered, looking over at the lilies, blooming so gracefully. Lana peeled one from amongst the many and bought it close to her nose to smell it''s enchanting scent.


    "His fancy-ass!"


    Madi repeated Lana''s phrase, making thetter giggle and from the doorstep, he was watching the entire scene unfold before his eyes.


    And he could not help the smile that graced his face. The love bond between Madi and his sister was something unique...the one he wished and admired if only he could have with not just another woman but the same one.


    He was happy because she made his sister happy. He was happy for her but could not back away and say if he were not jealous to be in her position or be the one to whom Madi would confess her love.


    Lana''s coughing bought him out of his reverie as he saw the nurse trying to calm down Lana''s cough, and Madi rubbed her back trying to soothe her body.


    The entire moment was broken when the doctor entered with her team of nurses with reports and John too stepped inside.


    "Good morning, Ms Lana, Madison...Mr. Kravinshky..."


    The doctor greeted all of them. Madi took her position beside the bed, giving space for the doctor toe and examine Lana. John stood just feet or two away from her, stealing mini nces from time to time.


    "How are you doing today, Ms Lana?? Feeling any better?"


    The doctor questioned, taking Lana''s hand to check the pulse.


    "Same old same old, Mimi!"


    Lana answered, casually, smiling both at her brother and Madi, knowing exactly how much those words were going to trouble them the whole day.


    "Well, everything looks as same old same old too here..."


    The doctor, named Mimisa, short Mimi said, dropping Lana''s hand and stepping back up.


    "I suppose Mr Kravinshky has not given you guys the good news yet!?"


    Mimi implored and it made both Lana and Madi to look at each other, not understanding what the doctor meant by that.


    There was some kind of sparkle in his blue eyes, she could see that and knew that something was up right up straight.


    "Mr Kravinshky has found the correct donor for Ms Lana!"


    And the very news was enough to make everyone''s face glow up. John was himself ecstatic when he got that newsst night.


    The donor was a brain dead man, who matched up for the sample of Lana. John had it sent all over the continent and was nning to send it to Asia in fact but the good news had arrived to him sooner than moreter.


    It was from Los Angeles and it would be bought to Richmond in a week time. If the extraction took a bit longer, it might take a fortnight not more than that.


    John had himself made it clear to the hospital staff in Los Angeles to do it faster as they could. He had adopted the hospital in his charitable trust and it was enough to give them the boost.


    "The sample would be up in best here in fourteen days time period or earlier with Mr Kravinshky''s efforts, the medical team at Los Angeles is working their asses off to be here.... Once it gets here, with a few documents to be signed from Mr Kravinshky, we could do the operation on Ms Lana."


    The doctor informed and it sounded like music to Madison''s ears. Lana had tears on her face and so did Madi but they were tears of joy...tears of hope.


    "But not to demote any spirit, this operation is going to be hard and critical so until we are done doing it, we cannot give any feedback of hundred per cent recovery, but the news of getting a donor is towards a great start here...let us hope for the best!"


    The doctor borated and although for a moment, the situation got gloomy but John''s determinedment cheered all of them up.


    "My sister is a fighter, doctor...she will make it through but we want your team''s hundred per cent credibility. "


    Lana smiled at her brother. She was the luckiest sister to have a brother like him who had been through so much for her.


    "We assure you, Mr Kravinshky, I and my team will give our better than best!"


    Mimi said and Madison got closer to draw Lana into her arms. She had hoped but did not think the Gods would listen to her so soon.


    "In this happiest asion after a month of sadness, I also would like to propose."


    Madison dered, pulling away from Lana warm embrace. She got off from the bed and stood up straight.


    Everyone looked at her, awaiting what proposal she was going to make. Lana''s eyes were trained into hers and John was looking at them like a hawk.


    "I m the worst match ever toe and say this to you but still...will you do the honor of marrying me Lana Delta Kravinshky?"

    "Nobody knew...not even Madison that Lana was sick all along...all those months and a year before...she had made her brother swore to keep it a secret."


    Kian exined it to her and a heavy gasp passed out of her mouth. Kian could see how disturbed she was and he was yet to drop thest and final bomb.


    "She was undertaking the therapy but then things fell apart and her health got deteriorated...she had to be admitted in the hospital and now, only a possible transfer could heal her..."


    Kian borated. Tinsley did not understand the things fall apart part.


    "What did things fall apart?", she asked, being curious.


    "Lana found out Madi cheating with her brother!"


    ________________________________________________


    "My sister is a fighter, doctor...she will make it through but we want your team''s hundred per cent credibility. "


    Lana smiled at her brother. She was the luckiest sister to have a brother like him who had been through so much for her.


    "We assure you, Mr Kravinshky, I and my team will give our better than best!"


    Mimi said and Madison got closer to draw Lana into her arms. She had hoped but did not think the Gods would listen to her so soon.

    Madison dered, pulling away from Lana warm embrace. She got off from the bed and stood up straight.


    Everyone looked at her, awaiting what proposal she was going to make. Lana''s eyes were trained into hers and John was looking at them like a hawk.


    "I m the worst match ever toe and say this to you but still...will you do the honor of marrying me Lana Delta Kravinshky?"


    Madison proposed and it made Lana feel out of her body. She was not expecting such a thing from Madi in a moment like this.


    "I know...I m not the perfect one for you..."


    "No..no! Stop!! You do know the condition I m in right, Madi??"


    Lana interrupted Madi even before she could say anything else.


    "I do not care! I should have asked for your hand way before but I m doing it now...I do not care about the situation you are in...I do not!"


    Madi dered and at that moment, both the women were conversing with each other as if there were no one around them in the cabin.


    It took a moment for Lana to think. She did not know if it was the right thing to do...trapping Madi with her in a future that was very very uncertain at the time being.


    She had already witnessed how Madi had gone crazy and did not leave her side ever since she had been admitted into the hospital.


    She could see how much Madi loved her, cared for her and it made her afraid that what would happen to her if things turned the other way.


    It had happened the other day though...she had seen it. She had to console her the entire day after her treatment and the rest of the night to let it go.


    After the doctor had dered that she was not getting any better through the therapies, it had taken a toll over Madi''s head.


    She just did not want to take the opportunity of her love...her unconditional love.


    What if she did not make it??


    What would happen to her then??


    It was that question that was eating Lana from inside.


    After a person was dead, there was no regret or to be happy for that person bit the tragedy remained with those who were left to live on after the death.


    What they would feel?? How they would be doing???


    The dead person would nevere to know.


    It was all upon the ones who would be alive to witness the days and nights, that were toe in the future.


    Lana knew that her brother would not be ok...but he would live on. He was a tough guy.


    She had seen him care for her, taking over the family business when he was still young after their mother''s death had broken their father''s will to live.


    But she was not sure about what and how Madison would react.


    Over the days, she had gotten a hint that it would break Madison...although she knew that her being a strong woman woulde back alive from this hurt but still...it would wound her badly.


    And that was what concerned Lana. And now she was asking her to marry Madi...she did not know what to say to that.


    If only if it were to happen before all of this...she would have jumped up and down saying yes, a million times!!


    Yet they were here and she did not want to break Madi''s heart denying the proposal or either marrying her and dyingter to break her heart apart in the worst way possible.


    Madi''s eyes were looking into hers with so much expectation and hope...a hope that she would agree and ept...say yes to it!


    Madi licked her lips as she could see how Lana was fighting a battle inside her head, deciding if or not she should say yes?? Or just leave her waiting for a possible reply?


    She knew that even though Lana would not bring up the thing that happened before she got admitted to the hospital...she was aware of the fact that Lana knew it.


    She had just chosen to leave it be and ignore it...as if it had never happened for she was not sure how long she was going to be alive at this point.


    She did not want to die fighting and creating mountains between her brother and her girlfriend.


    She wanted the both of them to be with her as she took herst breathe and only have happy memories together.


    John had not thought that this would be the kind of proposal, Madison would be making in a situation like this.


    He was not even himself sure what to do...how to feel about it.


    Should he be happy for his sister??


    Or should he be grieving that his beloved would be marrying someone that would be not him??


    It was a dilemma...a very big one for the three of them together. And as the moments passed, time ticked away, seconds turned to minutes and more...a fear loomed in Madi''s heart and so in his.


    She did not by any ount want Lana to scream out the betrayal right then...or for daring to throw a proposal like that when she had done her so dirty...


    The two nurses, the doctor, all of them, the three included, awaited for Lana''s answer very patiently.


    "You know that..."


    "I know what??"


    Madi questioned, not understanding Lana''s iplete reply.


    "You know my answer..."


    Lanapleted and Madison still eyed her cluelessness and confusion. She wanted a bold, clear and lucid answer.


    "I do not...you need to say it out loud my love!"


    Madison voiced out, although it was a mere whisper, John heard it. And his heart was thumping so hard...same as Madison''s.


    "It is a yes!!!... It will always be a big YES!!"


    And a scream broke out from Madi''s throat. The others pped and the sounds faded in John''s ears as he saw Madiunch herself up on Lana, cupping her face and mming her lips against his sister''s for a deep kiss.


    It was a very emotional moment for both women. They were just oblivion to the other''s presence as they kissed each other with the utmost love they both shared for each other.


    The doctor and the nurses congratted them both after their sweet kiss was over.


    Lana was blushing furiously and Madi''s soul was in a st mode. She was so happy that she felt she would pop out of this worldly existence.


    For once, she had thought that Lana would reject her proposal. Scream about her betrayal to her and humiliate her in front of all to dare and ask her hand after all she had done to her with her own damn brother.


    When everyone left the room shortly, it was John, who remained standing in his position, frozen and unable to form any word in his throat.


    It was thinking about him, made Madi look up at him and when their eyes matched...she saw it...


    She saw the hurt, the redness, the cry of his heart right in his eyes. And she did not know what and how she should feel about it.


    It was toote by then...she could not go to him anymore. Or wrap her arms around him to console him or be hurt for him either...


    "Will you not congratte us brother??"


    Lama chirped, and it made John look at his sister, parting his eyes away from Madison.


    "I m happy...indeed very happy for you...both of you!"


    He said, smiling at Lana but his smile faltered upon looking at her. Shortly after, he excused himself off.

 Chapter 241 - THERE IS NEWS!

    PRECAP


    "I m the worst match ever toe and say this to you but still...will you do the honor of marrying me Lana Delta Kravinshky?"


    Madison proposed and it made Lana feel out of her body. She was not expecting such a thing from Madi in a moment like this.


    "I know...I m not the perfect one for you..."


    "No..no! Stop!! You do know the condition I m in right, Madi??"


    Lana interrupted Madi even before she could say anything else.


    "I do not care! I should have asked for your hand way before but I m doing it now...I do not care about the situation you are in...I do not!"


    Madi dered.


    ________________________________________________


    She had not gotten used to it yet...but she was hoping she would soon.


    Getting used to him seeing him do the dishes as she drank the tea, he had made for her in the morning.


    Or get used to him watching make breakfast, lunch and dinner...all the three meals as she just sat idea, contemting whether or not she should stand up, go and help him?


    Trying to get used to him waiting for her, outside the bakery or in her early shift at the diner?


    He would wait for her in the out, as the snow would shower over him as if he had nothing in this world to work for...as if he had to not run a billion-dor globalpany??


    Or Get used to walking by his side, together on their way to her home...which had be his too for the time being.


    Or get used to his hands, pulling her feet to hisp and massaging it so well that even her mind, body and soul did not want to resist...instead desire more of that warm touch of his hands all over her body...in every inch of it...


    She was having mixed feelings...unknown, unresolved feeling that was just so hard to exin and think about...


    "Pancakes are here!"


    He served her a te of two pancakes and then bought the chocte syrup to pour all over the pancakes.


    She looked at it and then up at him. His hopeful eyes were staring into hers, waiting for her to eat it and then give her feedback about how good he had cooked.


    Without a word, she grabbed the fork and cut a piece of the pancake, and engulfed it inside her mouth, chewing it, savouring the taste of it on her tongue.


    It always had been hard to watch her juicy lips move as she ate the food. Hell! The way she would be busy eating as if to give him the most honest feedback in his simple cooking...it always fascinated him.


    He patiently as usual waited for her to finish and give him feedback. He always had a fear that she might not like it yet every time, her positive feedback would make him happier than he had ever been the past months.


    "So how is it??"


    He would ask, right away, right after he would see her throat move, gulping the good in.


    She would look up at him and then say...his heart would thump against his chest, keeping his finger crossed.


    "It is fine!"


    And he would sigh in relief. She would go back to eating and he would keep watching not until she would nce back at him weirdly and he would excuse himself away to get his own te to eat together with her.


    It was always weird for her to have him run his eyes all over her as she would take her first bite, and then the next, followed by the other...yet he would just stand there, watching her like a hawk.


    She had no idea how he could maintain calm and peace as her everyday feedback would be the same...but still he would make sure to wake up earlier than her to cook her meals.


    It was so unlike of him. Not like he did not how to cook but he was not the most patient kind of man.


    "There is news!"


    And that got her attention back on him. For a moment, when in her thoughts, she would forget that he was still here before her.


    "What is it?"


    She asked, hoping it for not to be bad. Not after what she had heard from him what had happened to Lana, Madi and the love triangle.


    She had tried to reach out for onest time to Madi, giving her well wishes and that she would keep them in her prayers...she understood her reluctance of not receiving any answer back...she had stopped contacting ever since, knowing how busy Madi could be.


    "John has found a matching donor for his sister and they would be operating soon."


    Kian replied and it was a relief to hear that finally after so much of a struggle, they had found it and made Tinsley so much happier.


    "Does it mean that everything would be fine now??"


    Tinsley asked, with so much hope in her voice. Kian could see the faint smile of expectation that he would give a positive answer.


    "They cannot say anything until after the operation has been done...yet it is a good start...there is hope!"


    Kian remarked and although, it was not as amusing as it was, the information but it was something of a good start...she had said...there was hope.


    "There is one more thing."


    And Tinsley''s eyes reverted back to his figure. She prayed that whatever he was going to say next was going to be a good one...apletely fine one!


    "Madison had proposed to Lana!"


    And the moment, Kian dropped the news, Tinsley did not know how to react to that.


    For every reason and no reason, she was totally not expecting him to bring up such news next...


    "And??"


    She pressed. He picked up the mug of his coffee take a sip before he opened up his mouth to speak up again.


    Tinsley did not know how to feel about it. For one fact, she knew that if Lana had rejected the proposal, it would still break Madison, knowing how much she loved Lana even though she had betrayed their love not just once but more than that...


    "Lana has said YES!"


    And a heavy gasp passed out of Tin''s mouth. She had no idea on what basis Lana had epted Madison''s hand in marriage yet if not love was the hardest thing to understand and the pain thate with loving a person...it all had been a very treacherous loop.


    "They will be having a wedding before the operation privately..."


    "Are we invited? "


    Tinsley interrupted Kian right away. It just came out of her mouth before even she could think it through.


    And when Kian''s reply did note right away, her shoulders slumped down, all her excitement had slowly started to vanish away...


    "Of course, they want you there..."


    Kian stated, upon noticing how her face turned sore when he took longer to reply because he had only heard about Madi''s proposal and nobody had told him anything otherwise.


    And it was him, at that moment lying to keep her happy. She got up overly excited and it made him look at her, thinking if he did a mistake by inly lying about it.


    He himself had no idea what kind of situation they were in fact having back in Richmond and now he had instilled a false hope in his pregnant wife.


    "What are you doing...you have not finished eating your breakfast??"


    He implored when he saw her standing up, pushing her chair back inside.


    "There are so many things to be done. I have to get a dress and shoes, a magnificent present for both of them, and also I need to do my hair, book a ticket back to Richmond..."


    "Wait, wait!!"


    I have stopped her in the midway, not being able to take the part where she mention about booking a flight ticket back to Richmond...


    It was something he had been wanting to do...to take her back with him and things had not escted to that level of making her go back with him but here, she was herself wanting to go back to Richmond.


    At that very moment, an idea struck his clever head. It was very wrong of him to use that opportunity yet he had no other choice but to use this up to his advantage.


    "We can go together in my jet since I m too?"


    He offered to her and even though, she was sceptical at first, she obliged thinking about the situation in a neutral manner.


    "Do you agree?"


    He asked, hoping for a positive answer and she gave him a slight nod in approval. His heart was about to explode in joy.


    "And what about your jobs?? "


    "I m going to take my leave as I m nearing my close of contract anyway!"


    She replied and Kian wanted to jump up and down with it.

    PRECAP


    "I m her husband!"


    "What??"


    Jessica spat out, not being able to believe what her ears were hearing to. There was no way...was it??


    "I m Tinsley''s husband!"


    He stated clearly. He could see it in her eyes, that she was having a hard time taking his words as words. Of course...she was not going to believe him...after what he did a while ago.


    "I know it is hard to believe...but we had a fight and she left me...I was searching for her all these months because someone helped her in hiding her identity...now that I know, I m back here to take her with me back home to Richmond."


    _________________________________________

    "She was undertaking the therapy but then things fell apart and her health got deteriorated...she had to be admitted in the hospital and now, only a possible transfer could heal her..."


    Kian borated. Tinsley did not understand the things fall apart part.


    "What did things fall apart?", she asked, being curious.


    "Lana found out Madi cheating with her brother!"


    _________________________________________


    "I m the worst match ever toe and say this to you but still...will you do the honor of marrying me Lana Delta Kravinshky?"


    Madison proposed and it made Lana feel out of her body. She was not expecting such a thing from Madi in a moment like this.

    "We can go together in my jet since I m too?"


    He offered to her and even though, she was sceptical at first, she obliged thinking about the situation in a neutral manner.


    "Do you agree?"


    He asked, hoping for a positive answer and she gave him a slight nod in approval. His heart was about to explode in joy.


    "And what about your jobs?? "


    "I m going to take my leave as I m nearing my close of contract anyway!"


    She replied and Kian wanted to jump up and down with it. For she had been agreeing to do everything he had been wanting her to do all along...that to by herself and not by his tactics.


    "You got any problem??"


    She asked, upon not getting any replies from him for a long time as if he was lost in his own thinking for the moment.


    "Hell no!! I have no problems!!"


    He was quick to answer. He did not see how he could have any problem with this ever??


    "I was just thinking that you need no worry about the dresses, hair, shoes...or the presents...I will get it for you...I will get ready everything."


    Kian proposed and she gave him a curt nod although said that she would go shopping for her dress, shoes and present herself. He said that he would tag along.


    And Tinsley did not see the sensible reason to oppose him at that moment for he had been doing that the exact same thing to tag along with her everywhere for the past few weeks.


    "Do not forget about the dinner... Was not me who invited Beth, it was you do you will do everything!"


    Tinsley dered, raising her hands up. He had invited Bethany over for a dinner and it really took her by surprise.


    Beth had really not told her anything about what had happened between him and her that day when she went forward to talk to him.


    After that day, he would escort her to the bakery and just wait outside very patiently, letting her go inside.


    It would be only during the lunch break when he would get in to hand both her and Beth, their bags of lunch.


    Beth enjoyed the homemade lunch, the freshly squeezed fruit juice. He would prepare all of that even before she would wake up in the morning.


    It fascinated her how he did everything so early, fast and in time, together with preparing her breakfast.


    Ever since his arrival, she had dropped all the household chores on him. He would do all and everything else.


    She did not even know how and when he would get the time for doing grocery shopping as she would find the refrigerator always stock with food, fresh vegetables and fruits.


    "You do not have to worry about it at all. I will do all the things!"


    He said, smiling at her. She nodded and turned around to head inside her bedroom to get dressed for work.


    Kian rang Drake, his head guard to get the grocery ready for the dinner. He did not want to take any risk of disappointing her or her friend Beth.


    When she came out, Kian also wore his jacket back and they both headed out. He would collect the grocery from Drake on their way to the bakery.


    As Tinsley locked the door, she could not help but notice that Jessica had avoided from making any kind of contact since then.


    Kian just sighed and they both continued walking together. Once they reached the bakery, Tinsley went inside without a saying.


    Kian kept looking at her as she had a talk with thedy at the counter and then walked inside the kitchen.


    He was having a constant thought inside his head as to how he could get Madi to make her invite them both to the wedding?


    He had given false hope to his pregnant wife and now he did not know how to handle the situation with ease.


    Not to forget that it was his golden opportunity to take her back to home in Richmond and finally settle the disputes with her for once and for all.


    As he got ready to get today''s dinner menu ready, he got a call from Drake who had supplied all the required grocery items into the studio house.


    After giving a text message to Tinsley, saying he would head back home to get everything ready, he went off to the house.


    He thanked Drake and soon began the cooking business. In his head, the menu was ready and nned.


    He was going to cook a chicken dish, Italian pasta, pae and a dessert for the ending.


    Not much but preparing all that would take time for he was the one and only cook who would have to do everything from chopping veggies, cooking and also serving at the end.


    Meanwhile back in Richmond, after the proposal, Madison had been getting a lot of congrattions thrown in her way.


    Almost the entire hospital staff hade to know about the did and all of them lined to congratte Lana.


    Madison as usual assisted Lana in her treatments and therapies for the day. After which as always she was very tired and fell asleep right away without a word.


    There was this feeling hitting Madi''s mind that if or not she did the right thing by proposing to Lana and now have to think about to nning a damn wedding.


    It was not like she was not interested. She was. In fact she was looking forward to it. She wanted to n a very private ceremony with only the closest friends and families.


    But the question was if Lana could be up and in health to go through the entire wedding pressure and process.


    It was what hitting her mind knowing how weak and fragile she was...how much tired he would get after her therapies were over and it made her question herself if she did the right thing dragging her yet another tiresome task when all she needed at that moment was to rest.

    And when Kian''s reply did note right away, her shoulders slumped down, all her excitement had slowly started to vanish away¡­


    "Of course, they want you there¡­"


    And it was him, at that moment lying to keep her happy. She got up overly excited and it made him look at her, thinking if he did a mistake by inly lying about it.


    ________________________________________________


    The door opened and Kian yelled out a sweet, ing!'', voice.


    He dropped his apron on the kitchen counter, straightened his t-shirt and strode towards the living room entrance.


    There stood Bethany and Tinsley, together. Both came straight from the bakery as Kian had asked Drake to pick them up.


    "Wee!"


    Kian awkwardly said, not knowing what to say and what to say not.


    "You guys get in, getfortable, I will bring the snacks in."


    That was all he said, before turning around and leaving again for the kitchen.


    Bethany nodded at him and Tinsley led her inside. It was not like she had not visited this home ever, she did and often she and Tinsley would share the pie made by Jessica.


    Oning to the living room, before Tin could ask Beth to sit on the sofa, her eyesnded on the pillows and a nket, that Kian used to sleep at night.


    He must have forgotten to pick them up, so she did instead, a bit embarrassed that Beth had to see that.


    "Excuse me! I will just keep these in the bedroom."


    Tin said and it was only then, Kian noticed it. He cursed under his breath for forgetting that and hoped that it did not ruin the evening before it could start.


    After collecting the pillows and the nket, Tinsley went inside the bedroom to keep them on her bed for the time being.


    She put her pillows aside to adjust his and in came Kian too. She tilted her neck to see him, holding his clothes. She had missed seeing them lying on the couch near the sofa.


    "Where do I keep these??"


    He asked and Tinsley could note up with any solution right away.


    "Hmm¡­I really forgot to tidy up the living room."


    He scratched the back of his neck, flustered for forgetting such a thing upon inviting a guest for dinner.


    "Give them to me!"


    She took the clothes from his hold and ushered him out of the bedroom. Before he could say something, she closed the door on his face and he turned around to see Beth awkwardly ncing at him.


    So to say, there was no denying Beth did not know in what kind of a situation those two were.


    "I¡­uhh¡­will get the snacks and tea!"


    He mumbled softly and went towards the kitchen. Beth sighed thinking what an awkward dinner, this was going to be.


    Meanwhile, inside, Tinsley was having a hard time thinking about where to keep his clothes in her very upied small bedroom.


    She walked up to the cupboard and put them inside, not carrying to fold the clothes or anything like that.


    She licked her lips and went to the washroom to get freshened. She washed her face and sat on the toilet to pee when she remembered what she had seen him doing here.


    She closed her eyes and tried to stop thinking about it. It was not just once but so many times, she had heard him¡­his uneven breathing, his deep groans¡­the way he would look at her, run his eyes up and down her body.


    Lately, it had been hard to live together just like that. She had been not able to even let herself off for she he was right next door, sleeping on the sofa in the living room.


    Her pregnant horny hormones were not helping her either. Most of the time, he would roam around the small house, bare and shirtless, exposing his manly body to her lewd eyes.


    She inhaled and exhaled for a short period, trying to calm her hormones down and then got out to be with Bethany.


    "Where were you, woman?"


    Beth questioned, smiling and patting her spot beside the sofa toe and sit. Tinsley nodded and sat beside her.


    Kian took that very moment and came with the hand-baked brownie and lemon tea. He kept the tray on the wooden table.


    "I like brownies!"


    Beth let out, and very excitedly picked one piece up. Tinsley followed her too. Kian stood by, watching both the women eat, waiting for theirpliments expectantly.


    "Ever since, my pregnancy, I just love baked things so much!!"


    Beth eximed and popped another inside her mouth. Tinsley smiled at her and so did Kian. He was d that at least she liked it.


    "Why are you not eating?"


    Beth implored when she saw Kian standing and not even sitting beside them or eating anything at all.


    "I m here to only serve you both, I guess?"


    He replied, not sure about his position at the moment. Tinsley kept stealing nces of him from second to second.


    "Ohmon!! Drop it. I do not want this dinner to be as awkward as it is alreadye sit and we talk. There is still time for dimmer."


    Beth pressed and Kian looked over at Tinsley, thinking what she might feel about him sitting and conversing with her friend.


    No way, did he want to make her feel threatened. He had talked with Beth in that day and he could tell that she was an easy-going open woman.


    All he wanted from this dinner was to prove that he cared about Tin''s friends too. He just wanted to make her feel not trapped with him anymore.


    "Comee sit!!"


    Beth pointed towards the couch and he finally gave in. Tinsley did not say a word and kept mum, eating the piece of brownie.


    "It had been ages since I got invited to a dinner."


    Beth mumbled, sipping her cup of lemon tea. Both Tinsley and he look up to her.


    "Don''t you have any family or friends other than Tin?"


    Kian implored and Beth gave him a sweet smile. She dropped the cup on the table and started to speak, knowing this duo was not going to do so considering the situation and circumstance they were in. It was just hard to be civilized.


    "I had ever known who my father is or was. I only had my mother who died of the pressure stroke and then it was just me after that¡­"


    Beth stated and it somewhere made Tinsley to think about her past, a few months ago before being married, how she had lost both her parents too.


    How she had turned to be an orphan and was lost, not entitled to anything at all.


    And how after so many tortures from that bastard Josh, her way had been entangled with him¡­she looked up in his direction, her husband.


    "I was in a rtionship with a man for more than five years. It was intense and we were reallymitted. He was the only family after my mother''s death and he was all I had¡­"


    Beth continued after sipping more of her tea from the white y cup. Tinsley could tell from the way the story was being narrated that things were not going to end quite well.


    Beth had always avoided telling her past to Tinsley and she never forced it either knowing Tinsley, herself was not ready to share her past or reveal her true identity to anyone at that moment.


    "But things, as they say, do not always remain the same. When he lost his job, things changed and there was a big flood of problems in our way. He started to see me as a burden and to sum it up, I lived two out of five years in an abusive rtionship thinking he would change someday¡­.as he would always apologizeter and say he would.


    He would promise me but naive me took a while to understand that his promises were fake and empty. They hold no value of his words and it was hard at first to think or even do it¡­but I did it. "


    She looked up at both Tinsley and Kian, who were quietly listening to her, not daring to utter out one word or two.


    "¡­I left him and for days, I thought I did a mistake but not anymore¡­not now!"


    Bethpleted, petting her bulged out belly, lovingly.

 Chapter 244 - COULD A PERSON LOVE TWO PEOPLE?

    Chapter 244 ¨C COULD A PERSON LOVE TWO PEOPLE?


    After letting Lana rest, Madi pecked her lips for onest time, she sped out of the room, following him.


    He had been avoiding her ever since her proposal to Lana. He had been avoiding to even making eye contact with her for a brief period either.


    She saw him in the lobby, walking away, so she strode forward, in determination to get answers out of him for his damning ignorance on her.


    "Hey?"


    She called out and he tilted his head a bit back to see her. She stopped on her track and so did he, looking at her.


    But then he rolled his eyes and resumed to walking forward. It annoyed her to no extent and so she ran up to him and held his right wrist.


    "What is wrong with you?"


    She whispered out, only for him to hear. He still did not turn to look back at her. She tightened her hold against his wrist so that he could not slip out of her.


    "What is wrong with me?? Is that what you ask??"


    John gritted his teeth, questioning her back a secondter when he could see that she was not letting go of him, taking full advantage of the fact that they were outside, in the lobby and he could not inappropriately with her.


    "Let''s talk somewhere private!"


    She proposed and he inhaled sharply. He looked around and snatched his wrist out of her hold.


    "Lead the way!"


    He said and she was about to walk back in the direction of the same empty storage room, but he held her back. He was not going to go in there ever again.


    "Not there¡­."


    "Then where??"


    She asked, irritated that he was behaving like that to her. As if they had no brief history together, which they had shared for a long time now.


    "Follow me!"


    And after walking for a while, in the direction of going outward. Madi suddenly held his hand and pulled me to the side, quickly opening the door and pushing him inside, closing the door.


    "What the actual fuck!!"


    He snapped at her. She did bring him back to the same storage room. He could not even wonder that they were going in the same direction.


    "Then where do you suggest we go?"


    Madi questioned him back, folding her hands against her chest, challenging him to say it otherwise.


    "What do you want??"


    John implored, not liking to be alone with her at all. Because every time they were alone in a ce, things were meant to go wrong.


    "What do you think I want?? "


    Madi retorted him back with the same tone. She could see that he was having a very hard time in controlling his anger around her.


    "Why does it matter what I think you want?? You have always done and said what you wanted!! You have never cared about me or Lana or anyone else but you¡­that is how much selfish you are, Madison Maria¡­so so fucking selfish!!"


    He roared thest part, out of frustration. He had never at any point in his life felt so vulnerable and helpless in any circumstances so far apart from the time when his parents were gone¡­dead and he had to cater for both his younger sister and thepany.


    Nobody said anything for a few seconds. Silence loomed over the room just as the darkness as nobody desired to switch the lights on.


    They were the best talking in the dark. The darkness would help them from matching eyes or having to look at each other.


    "You are not happy for Lana and me?"


    It was what came out of her mouth, and he closed his eyes as that was really the truth¡­he was not happy¡­not happy to see the woman he loved, had fallen for was marrying someone else.


    John strode forward and stood before her, towering over her short frame and holding onto her shoulders, he let out.


    "No!! I m not!"


    And that felt like a major blow to Madison. What she had been thinking for so long, specting for so long, turned out to be true.


    All along, she had been suspecting that. He did confess his love to her and if he did really love her, he ought to get hurt and jealous.


    But what she did not know was what to do??


    Should she be happy that he felt that way?? Missed her??


    Or should she feel miserable that she could no longer turn back time andfort him??


    "I could never be happy knowing your engagement with someone else¡­even if it is with my own sister."


    John truthfully dered, boring his eyes deep into hers, hoping that she would understand the way he was feeling at that moment.


    She raised her hands up and cupped his big face in between her palms. He closed his eyes, her touch always affected him so much¡­just like his mere presence did wonders to her.


    It had been a mystery to her as to what she felt for him¡­how strong was their pull that made her to betray her one true love to be with him?


    Yet how strong it had to be for her to feel no guilt and keep running back to him¡­to feel his warmth and embrace?


    Being with Lana and the world, she felt all of them judging her, looking down at her, the guilt would engulf her whole form to the point of strangling her to exhaustion.


    She would die if not for him¡­if not for his presence,ing to save her, pull out from all that judgemental stares and guilt of betraying her own lover.


    Could she love one person a little less than choosing to be with another?


    For her, it was clear that she loved Lana more than anything, and that their love would never fade.


    It never did but she ended up cheating with another man even so in love with her.


    What did it mean?? What did her actions mean??


    She was not mentally unfit?? Was she?


    It felt like that constantly trying to juggle between the wrong one and the right one.


    Yet she for this time, had been unable to make up her mind. She needed to be with Lana, she could not go without her smile but when he would appear, she could not hold herself back from running to his arms.


    Where did she go wrong??


    What happened to true love never letting off the hook??


    Could she be then in love with the two people?


    She had tried to ask that to herself so many times by then. It was a crystal that it was not just lusting what she felt for him¡­it was more than that.


    But if they were all put in the same room, she would still choose to be with her, Lana¡­yet turn around and extend her other hand for him to hold onto.


    "Is it possible to love two instead of just one?"


    It was a mere whisper but he heard her in that darkness. It was a question,ing straight out of her vulnerable and scared heart.


    It was a side of her, she was letting it out to him, trusting that she would not judge her, hoping to findfort in his arms even after that.


    The dilemma¡­John could understand but not again at the same time. One thing that he could clearly see was the struggle in her eyes¡­the constant battle she was fighting in her head.


    "You chose her¡­you will always do it."


    He replied and she sighed, getting the hurt in his voice. She would hurt too if she saw him with someone who was not her. She would burn in hell if it were to ever happen.


    "And I will alwayse to you too."


    She replied. He did not understand how could this work?? Neither does he want to be her second choice¡­a fucking rebound in the darkness, behind the closed door, locked away from the outside world.


    "I do not want to be your rebound¡­I will not settle for second best, Madison!"


    He dered and she immediately held him tightly, afraid that he would leave her.


    He was not a second-best to her¡­neither a rebound. He was so much more to her that he was failing to understand or she was not being able to depict to him.


    "How could I show you what you mean to me?"


    She questioned and it was for the first time, she was begging for him to stay in their entire history of hide and seek rtionship.


    "Be mine!"


    It was a straightforward answer. He peeked into her orbs, expecting hopefully that she would give in.


    He knew that there would be no one for him but her. He was so duped into her that there was no escape he could see.


    "I m yours¡­behind the closed doors, always yours!"

    ________________________________________________


    Beth and Tinsley enjoyed their lemon tea as Kian went back to the kitchen to get the dishes ready for dinner.


    "You never asked me from where I gave you that rose a few days back at work?"


    Beth dropped the question and it made Tinsley to look back at her, totally caught off-guard with such a thread.


    "The rose? That you gave me?"


    Tinsley implored, not remembering it in the first go. But then after a while, it clicked to her mind and she made her mouth transform into the o shape, letting Beth know, she remembered.


    "Where did you get it from?"


    She asked and Beth kept the cup back on the table. For all this time, Tinsley had been thinking that Beth had gifted her the rose.


    "He gave it to me to give it to you."


    Beth simply said it, pointing at Kian, who was oblivion of their talk as he was busy reheating the dinner since he had cooked all of them in the evening itself.


    And Tinsley did not know how to tract to that. She was as clueless as her heart was about the feelings she had or still had it for that man¡­who was her husband.


    He had been sincere in what he had said and he had been keeping his words so far.


    Ever since his arrival, she had got nothing to worry about. He had been doing all the household chores from cooking three meals a day to cleaning.


    She had even no idea how he was managing it to go so long so far. It was surreal thinking he had a billion-dor globalpany to run.


    When did he get the time to work for himself?? It always was a cause of wonder for her. Because in the daytime, he would follow her around her job.


    "He asked me to give the rose to you the first time but I did not. Not before I knew what his intentions were for you."


    Beth said and it made Tinsley to tilt her head back to see her. Then why did she give the rose by then?


    "But when I knew it¡­I handed it to you. "


    Bethpleted and she was hoping that Tinsley would take her words for words. She expected that Tin would trust her words.


    So did Bethe to know his intentions for her??


    Was it the same as he had told her aboutt it?


    She was so clueless as she stare at him for God knows how long and yet, every time she had a hard time from stopping herself from throwing herself into his arms.


    He could be so so good to you that you would lose your mind and run up to him, not being able to hold yourself back at all.


    He would be that good¡­that good enough to make you confuse about your own self.


    But then he could also turn to be so so bad that you would want to cry your eyes out and scream bloody murder for ever thinking that he could change.


    And if she was alone, she would have taken that chance¡­a chance with him yet again, trying to brave herself, be courageous to have another heartbreak if it would follow.


    But then her hands crawled down to pat her pregnant belly and she was not alone anymore.


    She could not just take the risk, totally thinking about herself because now she had her daughter to think about.


    Who would want to ept someone else''s blood as their own??


    And that question¡­it had no simple, clear and straightforward answer.


    Knowing what kind of a man, he was¡­how could he ever be ready toe to a point of doing what he was saying he would?


    "I m not alone anymore!"


    It was the first thing that came out of her mouth as she reverted her eyes from him to Beth.


    And Beth understood what Tin meant by those words, she just let out. She extended her hands and held onto Tin''s.


    "For a mama, her babygirl would alwayse first!"


    Beth mumbled, smiling and it made Tin smile too, d that Beth could get her so good.


    "Ladies, the dinner is served!"


    Kian dered, setting the tes and food upon the table, and waited for them toe up to where he stood, waiting for them.


    "Let''s go. He really worked hard on this!"


    Beth whispered to Tin and they both stood up. Holding hands, they walked up to the table. Beth let go of her hand and Kian pulled her chair, letting her sit.


    "Thank you!"


    Beth smiled, cheekily and then Kian turned around for her, she took a sharp breath as she felt his back making in contact with her front as he pulled her chair.


    "Sit!"


    His lips were almost touching her frozen ears, now getting hot from his mere touch.


    Her mind had gone frozen, but she then gave up and sat down, pressing her thighs together as she felt him taking his seat just beside hers.


    "Have it as much as you like but do let me know how it is!"


    He let out. Beth gave him a curt nod as she began eating and Tinsley too held her spoon and fork to cut her steak but he stopped her, holding her hand.


    "Let me cut it for you!"


    He offered and before she could say anything, he took her te and started to cut the steak into pieces and held one piece out for her.


    She awkwardly looked at him, then back at Beth, whose eyes were trained on both of them.


    She had nevere to see such a thing in real life and for sure, she was enjoying with a te full of food.


    Finally, not wanting to offend him or make a joke out of him, she let in. Leaning towards him, opened her mouth wide for him to put the food inside her mouth.


    Their eyes were peeking into each other, throughout the moment as he slide the fork back outside. She started chewing on it, slowly.


    He extended his hand forward and cleaned the side of her mouth, the corner of her lips and she curled her palm into a fist, below the table trying very hard to resist this non-erotic touch of his.


    Getting lost in his grey orbs, she forgot to chew on her food and when Beth, knowingly lightly kicked on her leg to make her gain her senses back, she choked, coughing out.


    Kian was quick to stand up, bring the ss of water near her mouth. She quickly drank from it as he rubbed her back, trying to soothe her up.


    "Fuck! You are ok?"


    He asked, looking straight into her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Beth could not hold in it herself theughter yet controlled it somehow.


    "I can eat myself!"


    Saying so, Tinsley snatched her te from his hold and started to stuff food inside her mouth, before he couldment otherwise.


    She was obviously affected by all his actions that she did not want to create another drama in front of her friend. She did not want him to see what his simple actions could do to her.


    "Kian?"


    "Yes? You need something?"


    He asked as he was too lost staring at his wife. He felt a bit bad when she denied being fed by him. He did not know what wrong he did?

    She was obviously affected by all his actions that she did not want to create another drama in front of her friend. She did not want him to see what his simple actions could do to her.


    "Kian?"


    "Yes? You need something?"


    He asked as he was too lost staring at his wife. He felt a bit bad when she denied being fed by him. He did not know what wrong he did?


    "Why don''t you get your te too? Let''s eat together!"


    Beth proposed and to that even tho before Kian was hesitant, he let in and served his te.


    "I can''t believe it!"


    "What can you not believe?"


    Kian questioned Beth as they are slowly from their te, savouring the taste of the food.


    Not once in her life, Beth had dreamt that she would be eating from the hands of a frisking billionaire, sitting beside an heiress.


    "That you cooked all of these!"


    Beth pointed out. Sheid out food on her te and the big bowls. The steak was cooked so well that it felt so juicy inside her mouth. So did the rest of the dishes.


    "Why can''t you believe it?"


    Kian implored, dropping his fork on the te and that made Tinsley finally look up at him and back at Beth.


    "You being a billionaire, I just never thought you could even cook, let alone all of these?"


    Beth let out, pointing at all the dishes served on the small round table.


    "Before being a billionaire, I had to fend for myself, Beth¡­my aunt, although make sure I had everything when she admitted to the ivy league school, I decided to learn things, be independent because I did not want to be in her shadow or take advantage of herfort more than required."


    Kian answered and the mentioning of Valeria, made Tinsley go back to the times when she felt so threatened by that woman.


    "Well, all of it came handy when I left everything for my wife, and when we moved into a small town apartment, just a bit bigger than the one we are living in¡­my wife had no idea of how to cook or even make a good sd dressing."


    And that made Tin re at him. He smirked, being reminded of those sweet days.


    He could still remember the first time, she tried to cook watching YouTube, making an apology dinner for him, she ended up burning it up and crying like a damn baby over it.


    "I was not that¡­that bad!"


    Tinsley defended herself and that made Beth smile, watching them reminisce their sweet memories together.


    "Of course, you were not. You just cried over a simple sd dressing, burning it up, the first time she ever tried to cook for me."


    He said, reverting his eyes from her to Beth, who could not stop fromughing at how he narrated the entire story out.


    "I was distracted¡­that is why it happened!"


    Tinsley tried hard to not make herself look like a fool, a spoilt princess before her encounter with him.


    "Oh sure, you were distracted, wife!"


    He mumbled, yfully staring at her. Tinsley rolled her eyes at him and Beth dropped another question.


    "What were you distracted about, Tin?"


    And it was then, Tinsley did not know how to say it¡­she only half-remembered it but then the pictures of them eating naked, her sitting on hisp as he fee her from the te shed all over her eyes.


    She closed her eyes, her cheeks got tainted in deep shades of red and nothing more was to be said. Beth understood without words being any to be let out.


    Kian knew that she was seeing them in her head. He was too much familiar with those rosy cheeks of her.


    And damnation! How he was controlling himself so far, so long?? He himself had no idea.


    He had been living with blue balls for so long. Living with her, not being able to touch her and caress her, it was the hardest thing, he probably had ever done.


    From time to time, he would try to relieve himself through his poor hand. Not even in his teens, had he ever resorted to his hand for letting himself off and now married to such a beautiful redhead, he never thought such a day woulde to him when he would have to beat his own meat.


    It was tiresome. And for some days, he knew that she could hear him, jerking himself off in the bathroom as she pretended to sleep quietly on the bed.


    Because when he woulde out from the bathroom, and walk up to her bed. Sweat beads would be dancing on her temple, the uneven fast breathing¡­he could tell at that moment exactly, what she had been doing herself.


    "I''m full!"


    Beth dered after they were all done with the desert too. It was time to wrap the evening up.


    Beth stood up and both Kian and Tinsley walked her up to the door. At the very same time, Drake came in through the door.


    "Thanks for inviting me over to such a wonderful dinner!"


    Beth thanked, wearing her coat as it was still cold outside. Kian said not to bother. They were d to have herpany.


    "Still I will thank my faith for letting me have a dinner hand cooked from a billionaire and to eat besides an heiress!"


    Beth remarked, and Tinsley lightly pped on her arms for saying such a thing.


    "It''ste so Drake will drop you home."


    Kian said and Beth did not mind opposing that offer. She was d because the night streets were for no sensible reason were ever safe for a heavily pregnant woman.


    "Do not hold yourself back, give yourself to him¡­at least to water your hunger!"


    Beth whispered it near Tin''s ears as she pulled her in for a hug before leaving. It made Tin raise her eyebrows at her.


    "We both know how hard it is to control our horny hormones!"


    Beth reasoned. It was also upon Beth''s insisting, she had given into self-pleasuring herself for the first time.


    "You have such a man wanting you, do not let go of such a snack!"


    Beth said, giving her a sweet kiss on her cheek, making Tinsley almost choke on her own saliva for even saying such a thing.


    And after bidding them both farewell, Drake opened the door for Beth, she went out. Soon enough Drake drove away as Tinsley kept watching the speeding car away in the darkness.


    She did not know that he was standing right behind her. She felt the heat radiating from his body and that made her take a sharp breath.


    "I will clean up! You can go rest for the night!"


    He said, being so close to her. She bit her lips as she tried so hard to moan out even at the slightest touch of his.


    Throughout the evening, his cheesy talks, the way his lips would curve into a smile, a smirk, his manly presence¡­it was eating her from inside for wanting to have him all for herself.


    When she turned around, he was not there anymore. He was working in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes in the sink, taking them one by one from the table.


    Before she would lose her resistance, she strode inside her bedroom. And after cleaning herself, she got inside the bed.


    Her mind could not stop thinking about what Beth had said. Of course, she had been frustrated too. But she did not know what to do about it.


    When he came out of the bathroom, changed in his pyjama, no shirt over him.


    "Good night!"


    He said, about to switch off the nightmp, standing on the threshold of the door. Tinsley sat upon the bed.


    "Come to bed!"

 Chapter 247 - THE TALE OF A CURIOUS CAT!

    Chapter 247 ¨C THE TALE OF A CURIOUS CAT!


    PRECAP


    "How could I show you what you mean to me?"


    She questioned and it was for the first time, she was begging for him to stay in their entire history of hide and seek rtionship.


    "Be mine!"


    It was a straightforward answer. He peeked into her orbs, expecting hopefully that she would give in.


    He knew that there would be no one for him but her. He was so duped into her that there was no escape he could see.


    "I m yours¡­behind the closed doors, always yours!"


    ________________________________________________


    Throughout the evening, his cheesy talks, the way his lips would curve into a smile, a smirk, his manly presence¡­it was eating her from inside for wanting to have him all for herself.


    When she turned around, he was not there anymore. He was working in the kitchen, cleaning the dishes in the sink, taking them one by one from the table.


    He was oblivious to her stares. She could not part her eyes off of him as she thought of her bodily desires.


    Before she would lose her resistance, she strode inside her bedroom. And after cleaning herself, she got inside the bed.


    She took off her nighty coat and dropped it on the floor, pulling the duvet over her body, sheid downfortably on the bed.


    Her mind could not stop thinking about what Beth had said. Of course, she had been frustrated too. But she did not know what to do about it.


    Then the door opened, and in came him. He nodded at her, asking for to use the bathroom and although, she did not give him any wordly reply, he entered inside.


    Soon she heard the shower being turned on, the water making a pitter patter noise as it fell down the floor.


    shback of them showering together, all naked and in skin slideshowed all over her head and she cursed herself for feeling her panty getting damped.


    When he came out of the bathroom, changed in his pyjama, no shirt over him. His taut body was on disy for her. His abs and the pyjama hanging lower on his waist, showcasing the v of his abdomen. She closed her eyes.


    "Good night!"


    He said, about to switch off the nightmp, standing on the threshold of the


    door. He kept his eyes trained on her sleeping frame for a while, even though he could not see her face clearly, due to the deam lighting, he could tell that she was looking in his way.


    And then suddenly when he was about to switch the light off and head out, she rose up, making him stop in his movement.


    "Come to bed!"


    She said and he heard it. It was not exactly loud enough but very clear.


    He thought that he had heard it wrong and did not move from his position as she repeated once again.


    "Come to bed!"


    She thought he had not heard her the first time and this time let her voice out a bit louder and audible.


    He could not believe his ears as he did not know what to do and what not to do.


    Her sudden proposal¡­and such a provoking proposal took him by surprise and off-guard. He was not expecting such a thing at all.


    It was a tempting offer. The kind of offer, he had been dreaming for months by then to sleep beside her, holding her soft sweet body, smelling her feminine scent, loving and worshipping that intoxicating body.


    But he could not¡­not just yet. He could not be able to stop himself if he got anymore close to her and sleeping beside her would render him a crazy man if he would not get to touch her the way he had always done before.


    She did not know what was he thinking, standing ideally by the door, unmoving, unspoken.


    "I can sleep on the sofa just fine. But thank you for your kindness!"


    He said and closed the door abruptly before she could even say anything, leaving her to sumb to the darkness, all alone in the closed room.


    He got on the sofa andid back, thinking what just happened. While sheid back on her side, her eyes watering up, wondering what she did wrong ?


    Did he not desire her anymore?? Did he not feel attracted to her now that she was carrying a child?


    Was he disgusted by her fat body ? Perhaps she should have been careful about her figure and even her own husband did not want to sleep with her even after months of separation.


    A deep sob escaped her mouth and then the door hung open, she hid her face under the duvet and closed her mouth tightly.


    He could not just sleep on the sofa¡­not after she had called him toy with her after such a long time.


    Tinsley could not help but think why he was back here again to torment her already tormented soul.


    She heard his footsteps and then felt the other side of the bed dipping down. She did not dare move from her side or tilt a little to see him.


    She felt the other end of the duvet being pulled and then she felt his hot body getting under it.


    She remained static, not once turning her back to look at him because it would be the end of her.


    Heid straight, the duvet up to his chest. His hands were itching to get a hold of her skin and flesh.


    All he wanted was to pull that seductress into his arms and get on top of her, mming his mouth against hers and kissing her breathless.


    He cursed under his breath as he felt his hardness tightening against his cks. He knew such a thing was going to happen if hey with her.


    "Good night!"


    He whispered and tried to go to sleep, knowing it was the furthest thing in his head but still¡­he switched the lights off.


    It was then, she turned around and faced him. He was sleeping, eyes closed, hands upon his head.


    She licked her lips as she observed him. His body¡­naked taut chest, the defined abs on disy to her naked eyes.


    She missed resting herself against his skin. She wanted to feel his body, touch it and see if it felt the same still.


    She extended her hand and very slowly, carefully, afraid that he might wake up, she traced his body, running her fingers over his skin.


    Her forefinger traced from the bob of his back, going down, touching his chest, his rigged abs. She stopped right above his beating heart to feel it beating so fast just like her was.


    Kian did not know how the hell he was even controlling himself. He was aware of her eyes, her touches yet he decided to act to be asleep to see what his innocent wife was up to.


    Very daringly, Tinsley rose, her curiosity took over her frame. She got close to him.


    She leaned down to have a clearer look at his face.It had been the closest she had seen him for months of separation.


    And her wondering fingers could not stop touching his face too. His closed eyes, his breathing nose, his sharply shared jaw and then his lips.


    Fuck!! He wanted to bite those slender fingers.


    She could not know what took over her when she did thest thing. She must have gone crazy or maybe she was for real had turned to be the bitch in heat?


    She slipped the duvet off of his body and Kian could not help but be conscious because he knew, she was going to see the hard-on.


    His erection was going to be so lucidly visible to her naked eyes and God only knows, what she might be going to think about him from thereon.


    And indeed, her eyesnded there and she took a sharp intake of air. She felt herself getting wetter.


    Fuck! She was going to leave a damn wet spot on the bedsheet!


    She thought to herself. Ever since his arrival, she had not been able to pleasure herself. And she was beyond frustrated to be not able to do a damn thing.


    Kian waited impatiently wondering what was even going inside that vixen''s head.


    And then before doing anything, she just popped back on the bed to her side, thinking it was wrong¡­how could she take advantage of his sleeping self?


    Would it not be wrong to do such a thing??


    He clearly was tired and worn out from having to do everything and was in a very deep sleep.


    She should not disturb him and try to go to sleep too but there was this part of her that wanted to be bad¡­very very bad!


    And was she at loss? Would it be taking advantage when that was her husband?


    So she turned around and tried to touch his member, slipping the pyjama off but he stopped her.


    "What the hell are you doing?"

 Chapter 248 - YOU SEXY VIXEN!

    Chapter 248 ¨C YOU SEXY VIXEN!


    Fuck!! He wanted to bite those slender fingers.


    She could not know what took over her when she did thest thing. She must have gone crazy or maybe she was for real had turned to be the bitch in heat?


    She slipped the duvet off of his body and Kian could not help but be conscious because he knew, she was going to see the hard-on.


    She should not disturb him and try to go to sleep too but there was this part of her that wanted to be bad¡­very very bad!


    And was she at loss? Would it be taking advantage when that was her husband?


    So she turned around and tried to touch his member, slipping the pyjama off but he stopped her.


    "What the hell are you doing?"


    He held onto her wrist in the snap of time and she fell caught in the act of crime¡­caught red-handed.


    She was so close to slipping his pyjama off from his waistline. Her heart was thumping so fast against her chest.


    Their eyes were interlocked as she thought of how to get out from such a situation¡­she had really thought him to be dead asleep for even after touching with her fingers, caressing and teasing from his whole face to his body¡­he did not even move once.


    And then suddenly, he flipped her over. She shrieked, for she was in too deep thinking, trying to figure out how to get things back to normal without getting caught about her real desires.


    He got on top of her as her back came in contact with the mattress, him holding both her wrists up her head, her body trapped between his thighs.


    Before she could ponder more and or time could get the best of them, he mmed his lips against hers.


    She moaned out and responded to him almost right away. He was delighted to know she was not holding back on him.


    Although when he tried to deepen the kiss, she raised her head a bit to match with his movements.


    But the bump was getting in between them as he could not get close to her body as much as he wanted and attempted to get in more¡­yet failed miserably.


    He let go of her wrists and she bought her hands up to cup his face in between, holding him intact as she thrust her tongue in his mouth, dominating the kiss.


    He had never seen her respond to him so urgently as she was doing at the moment and that made him a bit concerned.


    He knew how pregnant women were in those times and perhaps, she could be too and that made him pull out, not wanting too but he had to for he did not want her thinking that he took advantage of her in a condition when she was not in her real senses.


    "Hmm!!"


    Tinsley moaned in protest as she tried to hold him back but he pulled off andid back on the bed, beside her, both breathing high.


    There was silence for a millisecond. She turned to look back at him, his eyes trained upon the white ceiling.


    "Why did you stop?"


    He was a bit taken aback by that question as he tilted his head to see her. Her eyes were all over his face and she seemed frustrated.


    He looked away for a moment, trying to think of what to say to her without getting her offended because she looked like she was at that time.


    "I did not want to take advantage of your condition!"


    He replied, honestly, staring into her evergreen orbs, turning darker in shades as the moments passed.


    He waited for hereback but it never came in words as she rolled over and got on top of him. He groaned out, totally not expecting that.


    She looked conscious and lifted her weight off a little by bncing with her hands on either side of the mattress.


    She had forgotten the fact that she was no more a thin woman. She was pregnant, heavily at that and had added a lot more weight than before.


    "I m sorry¡­I just thought you could¡­"


    "I could not lift you?"


    Hepleted it for her. His eyes ran into her willful face and then held her by her waist, putting her all weight on top of him.


    "I will always be able to bear your weight, my love!"


    He smiled for her and it melted Tinsley''s heart right away as she felt swayed by his handsome face in the dim light.


    Keeping her hands on his naked chest, his hands on either side of her waist, she could feel his hardness lined against her crotch area.


    She leaned forward to kiss his lips and he pecked her, repeatedly, not wanting to dive in deeper before he would get lost and beyond the past of losing his resistance¡­the dying urge to feel her body against his.


    "Why??"


    Tinsley questioned, as she sensed his reluctance and was wanting more than just kissing.


    "We can''t¡­Tinsley we can''t!!"


    He let out, shaking his head. She was killing him by rubbing herself against him. He was so hard for her.


    "Why not??"


    She pressed, kissing away on his neckline. His hold on her waist got tighter as she moaned out the words of the question, totally invested in kissing him, making him lose his damn mind.


    "Is it because I m fat now?? I m not attractive to your eyes anymore??"


    She implored, raising her head up, pouring her eyes into his and he cursed out, internally, it was thest thing he wanted her to specte about.


    "Fuck no!!"


    "Then, what is the problem??"


    She pressed and her boldness was slowly fading away as she could see that he did not want to have her either way and she felt embarrassed to be the one throwing herself on him like a wanton woman.


    "Because¡­"


    Before even he could say, she rolled herself off of him and rolled to the other side, sleeping not facing him, pulling the duvet over her body.


    It all happened so fast that he did not even know what to do. But he indeed could hear her small mewling sobs for feeling rejected when all he wanted to be inside her too but¡­that damn brat was thinking otherwise.


    He rose up and pilled the duvet from her body, making her turn back. He spread her thighs over and she tried to protest.


    "What are you doing??"


    She asked, not knowing his intentions. He came up, their faces only an inch away, almost breathing the same air together.


    "Doing what I should have done ages ago!"


    He said and then pulled her lips in for a deep wet kiss. She tried to hold him in for longer but he had other ns.


    "Now only open this mouth to scream my name out, ok?"


    He voiced out as if requesting her to abide by him. And like being under the strange spell of his aura, she found herself nodding to him right away.


    He spread her thighs apart and raised her cotton nightgown up from her knees up to her waist but she held him back.


    She had not been able to shave herself or at least trim clean around the area for months now. The bump had rendered him blind from seeing anything down.


    She did not herself know how the conditions were downstairs and did not want him to be disgusted by it.


    "What?"


    "I have not¡­"


    She was about to tell him but he intervene her right off, knowing what she was going to say.


    ''Girls and their insecurity about body hairs!''


    He thought to himself as he lifted the nightgown up, regardless of all her threats that only seemed telling to him.


    "Fuck! If you still think I care about that!"


    And when his eyes came in contact with her bare self. Her heart was racing wondering his reaction for she could not see him, behind her huge bump.


    "Jesus!"


    He whispered out and she tried to see him, what he was swearing about.


    "What is it??"


    She knew that she was hiding a damn bush for him down there and if it turned him off, she would understand.


    His face came up and she looked at him, not knowing what exactly it was.


    "You have been bare without a panty all this time??"


    Her cheeks painted themselves in deep shades of pink. He rose up and kissed her furiously. She was having a hard time keeping up.


    "You sexy vixen!! "


    He let out, pecking her lips one more time, he went down again. Her feminine core smell hit his nose and it took all his genuine thoughts right away.


    "Fuck!"


    He cursed out as he spread her inner thighs more apart, kissing her as he went closer and closer to her core.


    Tinsleyid on the bed, her eyes and heart, excited and nervous at the same time for what he might do next¡­

    PRECAP


    Pulling the dress down, he chained his zipper up. She licked her lips as she felt them dry and before he could say anything, she stormed out of the empty storage room in the sh of the second. He followed her and tried to call her back.


    "Madison??"


    But she kept walking away. By now, even he was annoyed and irritated by her behaviour¡­.the way she was treating him.


    Instead of going after her, he decided to give her some time and clear her head. She was of course not in the right state of her mind at this point¡­or even before and during their act of shame.


    ________________________________________________


    "Lana has said YES!"


    And a heavy gasp passed out of Tin''s mouth. She had no idea on what basis Lana had epted Madison''s hand in marriage yet if not love was the hardest thing to understand and the pain thate with loving a person¡­it all had been a very treacherous loop.


    "They will be having a wedding before the operation privately¡­"


    "Are we invited? "


    Tinsley interrupted Kian right away. It just came out of her mouth before even she could think it through.


    And when Kian''s reply did note right away, her shoulders slumped down, all her excitement had slowly started to vanish away¡­


    "Of course, they want you there¡­"


    And it was him, at that moment lying to keep her happy. She got up overly excited and it made him look at her, thinking if he did a mistake by inly lying about it.


    ________________________________________________


    "You have been bare without a panty all this time??"


    Her cheeks painted themselves in deep shades of pink. He rose up and kissed her furiously. She was having a hard time keeping up.


    "You sexy vixen!! "


    He let out, pecking her lips one more time, he went down again. Her feminine core smell hit his nose and it took all his genuine thoughts right away.


    "Fuck!"


    He cursed out as he spread her inner thighs more apart, kissing her as he went closer and closer to her core.


    Tinsleyid on the bed, her eyes and heart, excited and nervous at the same time for what he might do next.


    When Kian''s mouth got closer to her feminine core when his eyes first came on the direct view of her¡­he was greeted by that familiar scent and he felting to the home.


    Although due to her thick public hair, it her core was notpletely and clearly visible to his naked eyes.


    Heid down on his stomach and very slowly extended his hand forward to reveal her opening¡­that tiny hole that he craved to be inside all along.


    He parted her small hairs apart and it made Tinsley squirm which made him hold her steadily holding onto her thighs.


    "Stay still!"


    He mouthed, with his voice so hoarse and husky. It sent a direct tingle to her core making her body jolt.


    When he saw her inner lips, he was mesmerized. They looked different than thest time. They had grown darker in shades and it made sense because she was carrying a child. She was pregnant.


    When she felt his fingers, cold fingersing in contact with her hot vulva, she almost cursed out.


    He very slowly started touching her, making her get used to his touch once again.


    It had been long¡­so long since being able to touch her that way again. He parted her pussy lips with forefinger and thumb and saw her opening, it was wet and glistening.


    "You are soaking baby!"


    He said out loud. It made her skip a breath the way he let those words out as if it was the most unique thing in the world he was viewing at the moment.


    He let one of his fingers inside, very slowly, afraid that she might get hurt and she squeezed his finger like a snake does to its prey.


    Tinsley licked her lips, sweat beads danced on her forehead as she felt him adding another finger¡­she almost felt being stretched to her limit¡­it had been a while since she felt anything like that.


    When Kian started moving his fingers in and out, the real spells of magic started taking over his wife''s body and mind.


    She had to hold onto the edge of her pillow with both hands, biting her lips, trying to hold back the moans¡­louder once for she did not want her close neighbours to be awake in the middle of the night.


    Tinsley''s small moans and mewling online ignited him to go harder and faster. He kept changing the number of fingers inside her glory hole, prolonging her orgasm.


    He let his fingers in and out¡­in and out continually without stopping even for a second.


    The liquid was gushing out of her hold. It''s all over her pubic hair. He had made a mess with her mess.


    The noise of the friction was making him crazy added to her moans and movements.


    When he leaned in and reced his fingers with his wet tongue, it was then Tinsley could not hold herself back and let out a big scream, rising up with her torso from the bed as he kept thrusting his tongue inside her vagina.


    Kian was licking her as if his tongue had note in contact with water for ages. Her taste¡­it was what he had missed for months¡­more than six long months and he was losing his mind.


    The moment he tasted her, he felt like tasting the divine liquid¡­the only one he had ever known and he was not letting it go.


    He''s good on her thighs got tighter, his actions got harsher¡­ rougher. Not that Tinsley wasining, she was too lost in the ocean of ecstasy to even be bothered by it¡­for she wanted nothing but more¡­more of what her husband was giving you her.


    "I can''t hold it¡­I can''t¡­.I¡­"


    She let out, giving up, trying to hold it and prolong this lustrous game. Kian also wanted to see her beauty graced by the waves of pleasure.


    He softly bit on her wet nub with his lips and like a button, Tinsley came within a second of it and she pulled his hairs as he kept licking her up throughout the entire course of her high.


    He had no heart to stop licking her or running his hungry tongue over her core but when he got up, he was greeted by his wife''s sweet mouth.


    She kissed him with so much passion, holding his face in his hands as he ran his hands back and forth over her small back.


    She could taste herself in his mouth and she did not give two fucks about it. Kissing him, her hands slipped down, getting under his pyjama.


    He squeezed her heavy breasts and when he felt the wetness sipping out from her covered nipples, he groaned out into their kiss.


    He immediately started to unbutton her shirt and she took out his hard length and started rubbing it up and down.


    When his eyesnded over her uncovered full breasts, he could not believe his eyes at what they were staring at.


    Tinsley never had the biggest breasts. She had the medium of small ones and he loved them either way.


    He could have never thought that pregnancy would make his wife look so beautiful, so ethereal, so divine.


    Her bulged out belly and her heavy breasts hanging down from her chest, her dark ares leaking the white liquid in drop¡­it made his mouth water.


    Her red hairs rundown, cascading all over her frame¡­she looked like Freya to him¡­


    "God!! You look so fucking beautiful magnificent!!"


    He whispered out, his hands could not keep it to himself. Their eyes interlocked. Hispliments were boosting her from being bold and confident with his eyes ncing at her bare and naked.


    Whatever, doubt, fear she had of him not liking her new overshaped body had slowly started to bid farewell and on its ce, her old self joined in her shoes.


    "May I?"


    He asked for her permission to explore her body as she gave him a slight nod. He was afraid to touch and hurt her. She was nursing a life¡­a new life inside her body and it was magical¡­ a miracle.


    When his hands palmed her breasts, she closed her eyes, liking the touch of his warm hands.


    She asked him to be careful as her nipples were super sensitive these days..not to start his they were leaking drop by drop.


    Kian''s hands wandered to her bump and he was excited and nervous at the same time, touching something like that.


    "She is sleeping!"


    Tinsley said as he kept caressing her belly as if wanting Ava to kickback. He had felt her kicking in the restaurant and the hospital.


    "Better because she does not need to know what mummy and daddy is doing!"

    He said and the words did not go unnoticed by Tinsley for she never thought or was ready to hear anything like that.


    His hands were still caressing her bump, curiously but for her as if the time hade to a stop, she could not stop from thinking what he had just said over and over again.


    ''Mummy and daddy!!''


    Was she ready to y a family with him after everything that had happened between them??


    For all that mattered, she still could note to terms with the fact that how could he ept such a thing so genuinely, without a drama??


    She had known him for almost four to five months before leaving him. And he was a very possessive man who did not like to share things that belonged to him even one bit.


    She had seen him getting out of control over the smallest of things and in a matter, as gravious as this one, he seemed so calm and confined.


    It was as if he had epted his faith¡­their faith and was sailing smoothly with the flow, not trying to resist it or do anything about it at all.


    Tinsley had not felt so protective and cautious about anything at all but with theing of her baby girl¡­Ava, things had changed.


    She would not let things that happened to her¡­any of it to her daughter. She had vowed to protect her from all the evils and to nourish her with only love and care.


    With Kian, now in the picture, she did not know how things were going to be like anymore.


    For she could not even try and push him away after what and how he had threatened her with.


    She did not want her Ava to be juggling between a court case of custody, the moment she would be born¡­just because her mother cared about separating from her husband more than her daughter¡­it would be unfair to Ava.


    Tinsley was not alone anymore. A life was growing inside of her, who would be totally depending upon her in every step of the way.


    And she was not going to disappoint her just like her parents did. She was not going tomit the same mistakes as her mother had done.


    With everything that had been happening and as her eyes fell upon him¡­his grey pairs staring back at her with so much concern¡­


    As she felt her sensesing seeping back into her nerves, the cold brushing over her skin making her recall, she was naked in front of his gaze¡­


    The blood coursing through her hand, and what she had been touching, she pulled herself out from holding onto his manhood.


    And right then and there, Kian hade to know that she hade back from her highs and just like he had been expecting¡­or was thinking all along, she was going to regret it¡­regret the moment they had shared.


    Before she could say anything, he leaned down andid a chaste kiss on the middle of her bump, patting it for onest time.


    Her eyes were seeing everything, yet her mind and mouth could not think of doing anything or uttering out even a single syble.


    He started buttoning up her nighty one by one, pulling down the drapes of her nighty, he asked her toy down and so she did¡­for not knowing what else to do at that moment.


    She turned around, to face the other side and then the darkness loomed over them as he switched the lights off.


    She felt him getting under the duvet,ing closer and then wrapping one of his arms around her waist,ying one soft kiss on her neck and mouthed a sweet good night.


    A lone tear escaped her eyes, but he would nevere to know about it as she felt his hot breath fanning over her cold ears and neck. She closed her eyes.


    When she opened it, partially, she felt the bed cold and turned around to find him to be nowhere there.


    She tried to listen to the water running in the bathroom but heard nothing. So she rose up and wore her night coat, getting up from the bed.


    Her eyesnded on the clock hanging on the wall, stroke four in the morning. With barefoot, she opened the door of the bedroom, hoping to find him sleeping in the bedroom.


    But he was not there, neither in the kitchen. She ran back to her bedroom and opened the bathroom, and found it empty without a soul too.


    She came to the living room and found his clothing were gone. His shoes and everything else.


    She went back inside the bedroom and opened the cupboard and found that the other spare clothes of him were not there too.


    Her heart was thumping against her chest as she wore her shoes, sitting on the stool.


    It felt unusual to be tying the shoces all by herself as he had been the one doing it for her all these days¡­almost a month by then.


    She opened the front door and found the cold serene street to be empty as it should be¡­not one lively soul could her eyes see.


    She wrapped the shawl over her body as she walked outside, trying to see if he was out here, taking a walk or running because he had a habit of doing so whenever things got heavy on him.


    She had found him doing so before too. Leaving without a word for clearing up his head.


    And she hoped to see at least thest sign of him being here¡­but when she saw that his Mercedes Benz was nowhere to be found¡­it was gone.


    Her eyes wandered from the left to right corner of the parking lot and there was no spot of his luxurious vehicle¡­neither the one Drake drove, the grey Audi¡­it was gone too.


    Her mind was in a frozen state. One side wanted to run and stop him from leaving¡­if he had already or about to?


    She had no idea. She bit her lips, trying not to break down right there in the middle of the early morning street. She closed her eyes.


    Shutting the door behind her, she tried to bend down to open the shoces but struggled to get close to it and her face got red, anger and frustration¡­another crack on her heart, burned all over her as she fell down on the floor, tired and hopeless.


    A scream of hope submerged echoed out from her throat as tears after tears greeted her cheeks¡­her nose red¡­her mind and vision ck.


    He had left her once again¡­.


    She was out of his reach¡­


    The ckness in the night sky reasoned with his mind and he had to leave her in the dark¡­before she would even know about that he had gone¡­


    He had no choice but to do so. He knew that he was forcing himself upon her. She was nowhere ready to amodate him in her new life and he had threatened her into doing so¡­


    Everything was wrong¡­everything he had done so far with her was so wrong. Past was past. She had wronged him too and that had left an imprint upon his entire life.


    And here, his life was linked to hers. And his soul was nowhere ready to part his ways from hers. He was so attached to her¡­so used to her.


    Last night was magical¡­so enchanting. He had not thought for things to escte so fast¡­the way she called out for him and let him worship her after such a long separation and then when he saw the rejection¡­


    The way her eyes reflected the look of rejection, and how much his heart felt dejected at the very sight¡­


    He knew¡­he saw it that he was hurting her all over again. Stopping from her happiness,ing in between once again.


    He could not be with her¡­.knowing his presence was only hurting her, she was tolerating him out of fear and anxiety¡­scared of his threat.


    Once again, he had started on the wrong note. He had done it again. Nothing was correct about this.


    He had to leave her for her sake.


    And all she knew was that he had left her once again¡­lighting the candle, only to blow it away, right when the warmth was taking over the cold.


    It was cold again¡­

 Chapter 251 - AS REAL AS THE ONES OUT...

    Chapter 251 ¨C AS REAL AS THE ONES OUT¡­


    She got out of her clothes as fast as she could.


    Untied the knot of the fancy tie hastily, unbuttoned the buttons of her blue shirt, kicked away her heels and moved forward.


    He saw her. Seeing her a smile curled upon his face. It had been a while since he saw her this excited.


    She let the skirt fall down her waist, with ck stockings still covering her legs, when she saw him, she ran up to him and jumped over him.


    He was quick to hold her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and both leaned forward, joining their lips together.


    He deepened the kiss, she pulled onto his hair, he squeezed her butt cheeks making her moan out inside his hot mouth.


    She was liking his hands working up and down her heated body. Their fight over taking over the kiss¡­to dominate one another was at its peak.


    Her hands slid down to get his shirt off. He did not let go from caressing her bum. She started unbuttoning his buttons andter ended tearing it all in one go.


    That made him pull out off and look down at his torn shirt and back into her mischievous eyes.


    A loudughter broke out from him and so did from her. He could not believe she did that when he should have done that in the other way around.


    He walked them to the sofa and put her on the sofa. She very chastily waited for him to peel the torn shirt off from his lustrous body.


    She eyed him with so much lust and so did his eyes were trained on form. He unzipped his pants and that was the cue for her to get her t-shirt off and followed by her push up bra.


    And within seconds, he pushed her onto the sofa, and she obliged without a fight at all.


    His lips kissed each of her nipples, turning harder than they were ever. She wanted more of his mouth as she pushed her breasts more in his direction¡­impatiently wanting more of what he was giving.


    Her actions only ignited him more to do more, give more. He sucked harder, turning her rosy nipples red from his ministration.


    His hands sipped down and she willingly spread her legs apart. He started rubbing her wet pussy from atop of her panty and stocking.


    His lips littered kisses all over her chest, her neck, her vicle as he furiously began to rub her covered cunt, making her feel more hotter than ever.


    He had to draw away to get those damn ck stockings off from her slender legs, together with the panty. It was a wet mess by then.


    He licked onto her toes as he pulled the stockings off. She bit her lips as his tongue tickled her feet. Their eyes interlocked all this while.


    Soon she wasying naked and thighs spread for him. He got rid of his boxers and did not waste another second, as he dived inside her heat¡­his version of heaven.


    Both gasped at the contact, the magical sensation, the friction. She leaned forward, cupping his face in between her palms, pulled his lips for a kiss.


    She never got enough of him kissing, neither did he. He started moving inside of her and she wrapped her legs around his waist.


    As time passed, his movements got faster and she could not help but look down at how good they connected.


    He followed her gaze and could not help but feel the same way. He parted her pussy lips with his forefinger and thumb to have a clear view of it and it was enough for her to convulse as she reached her high.


    It was always so otherworldly to watch here. Her eyes would rotate around her socket, her thighs would shake¡­as if her soul had left her body for the moment.


    And it booster his ego, knowing he did that to her, he could not get enough of wanting to make her feel the euphoria over and over again.


    He would stop moving, giving her a moment or two to return from her high and get back to normal.


    Her pussy would get so wet that it be so hard not to slip out of her core when he would try to ram in faster than before.


    His manhood would feel oveing all over him and it would calm him down¡­the very feel of it. It was better than his orgasm. But the best was yet toe.


    She would open her eyes and the very first thing she would see was him¡­and her face would curve into a smile.


    Being connected, she would rose up fromying on the sofa. Holding his face, she would kiss him hard and see, letting him know how much she liked it¡­how much she liked what they were doing.


    She would get over him, wrapping her legs around his waist. The position would change, he wouldy on the sofa and she would sit upon, with legs dangling from either side of the sofa.


    Her hands would be resting upon his chest. His taut muscr body gave her chills, which would make her want to devour him all by herself.


    She would lean down to drop kisses from the underside of his ear, going down to the length of his neck.


    She would make sure to draw blood with her lips, giving him what they call it a breaking love bite¡­she loved them on him.


    Her signs of him marking him as her. Her imprint on his body, letting another know that he was taken, not avable for anyone else on this earth¡­but her, just her.


    And he would proudly wear her marks, without a protest, without a sign of struggle. It did not make him seem any less king on the bed, just as much she was his Queen.


    A Queen marking her King!


    Sounded sexy as hell and it made him more harder for her so did her. Her pussy would sp around him, sometimes he felt breathless but he was notining at all.


    She would lick his erect nipples and pull them in between her teeth, trying to get a reaction out of him and when he would return her the favour by pinching on hers, she would pull away, rubbing herself over him.


    He knew that it was her way of torturing him¡­for noting sooner, for leaving her. More so, it was a way to prolong their lovemaking session and he was not offended at all.


    She would kiss each one of his abs, licking them as she would go further down. He would hold her hair in a tight hold so that she could do a good job on him.


    Still connected, she would take her sweet time worshipping his green God like the body just like he always does.


    He would raise his hips up a bit letting her know that he wanted her to move, her heat, her tightness was killing him.


    She would kiss her way back up to his face and onto her lips. His hands would hold her hips and then she would lift her body up a bit, getting ready for another ride.


    His movements would not be as fast they had been. He would only very slowly pull out and push back inside.


    Their eyes still interlocked as each knock would slightly lift her body up and her parted lips would soon call out his name¡­anytime from then once he would start ramming his way inside of her.


    She would peel his hold from her butt and then sp it on top of his head. He liked it whenever she decided to take over¡­take control of everything.


    It only showcased of how much she was into it. How much she loved their moments together and it was very important.


    She would lift up a bit and fall down onto him. The sound of skin pping, the squeaky noise as her liquid would sip out, rolling down his length, still hard and pulsating inside her.


    She would repeat her movements, moving to and fro. They would see smoke around them as soon she would ride him up and down as if her life depended on it.


    Her wavy hairs move, just the way she would move up and down as fast she could. Their eyes still peeking into each other.


    The rest of the world would go frozen around them as they would be lost into each other''s arms¡­the warmth and heat radiating from each other''s bodies would shoo any kind of coldness from reaching out to them.


    She would apply pressure onto his chest as she would try to increase her speed and her mouth would make that ''o '' shape and he knew she was close and so was he¡­


    And then they would explode into each other.


    So what if, their rtionship was behind closed doors, it was still as real as the ones out¡­yet could only be more passionate!


    "I love you!" She mouthed.


    "I love you too!" He kissed her lips.

 Chapter 252 - MY WIFE AND I, ARE EXPECTING...

    Chapter 252 ¨C MY WIFE AND I, ARE EXPECTING¡­


    Sitting all by herself, ideal, her feet dangling from the high chair as she waited for her husband''s guard in watch to return with the foods, she had been craving.


    Kian had left Drake in search of the two pregnant women and it was not something he was trained to do.


    He was Kian''s most trusted man inmand. Even when Kian had lost everything and could not afford any guards, Drake stayed back in his service without pay for whole four to five months.


    He could not leave his wife in such a crucial stage like that all alone. So if she did not like his presence around herself, he needed to find other ways through which he could take care of her needs.


    So he had left Drake behind that night, stationed at Jessica''s house. Kian had a brief talk with the old woman about the entire ordeal before leaving.


    So when Tinsley screamed out after returning home, searching for her husband who appeared to have left her.


    It was at that moment, a knock on the door was heard and how Tinsley went silent altogether, wondering if it was him¡­and he had not left but she thought him to be?


    So when she stood up and quickly opened the door, appeared Drake on her doorstep with Jessica¡­that morning at four am.


    Exining everything to her, Jessica tried to console her but each word fell into Tinsley''s deaf ears. She was too moved to get any of it.


    All she could think was why did hee back only to run away once again??


    Why did he have to show that he cared?


    As she would watch Drake cooking, cleansing around her small studio apartment, she could not help but see him¡­just a few days ago, doing the same thing.


    Beth had be her guest for a few days too by that time. Drake was given orders to look after Beth too and it was quite difficult to look after two heavenly pregnant women to and fro so Beth made it easier for the poor man by moving in with Tin.


    And for that Tinsley was d. She could not live alone with a stranger, working in her house as if she did not live there.


    All Drake would do was working and no words were to be spoken as he did not


    himself know what else to say.


    Tinsley had been giving him a very hard time, thinking he would quit and that irritating husband of her would have to appear for her once again.


    She had not left one chance or gone one minute without throwing a tantrum and it was only Beth who became a source offort for the poor man in duty.


    She would make him work twice and then again pour water all over hisbour just to get in his nerves but what she did not know was that he was trained to work.


    "Here is your peri peri chicken, ma''am!"


    He offered her, walking straight from the counter in her direction. Beth had her fruit punch in her hold and stood beside Drake.


    Tinsley with a bored expression snatched the packet from him, bought the chicken to her nose to smell and acted gagging. She pushed the pack back to Drake''s hold.


    "I can''t have this¡­ it''s stinky!"


    She nagged and Beth knew that she was acting. But poor Drake! He could not do anything about it.


    "I bought it straight from being cooked, ma''am. Look it''s even got!"


    Drake tried to reason. Beth eyed Tinsley to take it easy but the woman had promised to give him hard time. He would have to pay for her husband''s elopement.


    "I did not lose my senses either but my pregnant nose can''t bear the smell. Get me one of these that''s Beth having!"


    Tinsley said, and Drake looked at the counter. The line was never-ending. He had a hard time, ordering the peri peri chicken in the first ce.


    "You can have mine here¡­I will have the peri peri!"


    Beth offered and Drake mentally thanked this kind woman, who had tried to make things a bit easier for him but Tinsley had other ns.


    "No¡­I want one fresh¡­"


    She shook her head like a kid. Drake sighed. He really was on the verge of quitting but he could not when he came so far¡­only a month left before the delivery. He could not quit then.


    "I can wait here¡­.go now!"


    Tinsley shooed him and he turned around to get her second order for the day wishing she would not make him get another after this because this had be her way of torturing on daily basis.


    "You have to spare the man for someday."


    Beth remarked, sitting beside her eating the peri-peri and sipping the fruit punch.


    "What did I do?"


    Tinsley feigned innocence, and took one chicken from the pack, making Beth re at her.


    "What?? I need the fruit punch too!"


    She said, trying to act like she did not just eat the chicken when a second ago, she wasining about its smell.


    "Were you notining about the smell a minute ago??"


    Beth implored and Tinsley did not respond to that. It had been confirmed that she was pretending all of it just to get on his nerves.


    "Just so you know¡­"


    "Know what?"


    Tinsley interrupted Beth, looking in her way. Beth smiled and answered.


    "You are punishing the wrong guy!"


    It hit hard. It made Tinsley think hard¡­everything around her got frozen and so did in his world.


    He had been on a world tour, visiting all the newly built headquarters in Asia and Europe.


    He had missed a lot of work catering for his wife''s needs, bing her personal caretaker thest month.


    And now he was working twenty-four multiplied by seven around the clock, day and night to catch up and also because he knew that once the baby would arrive, he would need a paternal break to look after the mother and their child.


    It was a necessity, it had be his priority. From Drake, he was getting her reports every second and he even felt pity for Drake. He was just thankful that Drake had not quit just yet.


    He knew what her intentions were. And he could not help but want to go back yet he could not bring it to himself¡­he could not dare to show his face after what had happened.


    Madison had gone missing in action after Lana''s admittance to the hospital and John had been busy so most of the work hade under his jurisdiction.


    So here, he was visiting each one of the headquarters, looking through the industries, making sure the products would be fine. He did not want a bad name in just a year of starting.


    Because if he miscued a loss, there was a line of investors whom he would have to pay back and he could not manage to do so without going bankrupt.


    So he personally dropped by to check the lines. He could not take risks at this point,ing so far¡­he could not risk tainting his name more than once in the business world.


    And there, his wife was being a brat, not understanding his situation, neither giving him peace of mind to work wlessly where he was without being worried about her not even for a second.


    Before he had inserted a chip on Drake and he could see her im hisptop, anytime he wished and he could not but feel the want to fly back and spank her ass red for being such an untamed brat.


    Despite all these, he had made sure to visit Madi and Lana once and things were changing for the better for both of them.


    They had decided to do a small intimate wedding due to Lana''s fragile health and for Tinsley''s sake, they had postponed the wedding by three weeks so that after the baby was born, both Tinsley and her small daughter could attend the wedding.


    It was upon Lana''s request. She could not have a wedding Tinsley and thetter was too heavily pregnant to be able to travel at this point in time so they had decided to wait and go for the transnt right after the wedding.


    Madi tried to reason with Lana that they could have the transnt first and then the wedding but Lana was being stubborn, there was no chance that she might survive this operation so she did not want to take a chance.


    She was going to get married first and then only she would go for an operation. And that was settled.


    Everyone was waiting eagerly for the baby to pop out anytime at this point and the excitement was to the neck.


    Kian, after sessfully settling the deal with the Seikh, he came out and Thea followed him. Nathan was behind.


    "I heard you are taking a leave from next month, why?"


    She asked. He had just gotten back from God know where and was leaving once again.


    "My wife and I are expecting."


    He answered.

    Chapter 253 ¨C WHY WOULD YOU KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME?


    PRECAP


    A Queen marking her King!


    Sounded sexy as hell and it made him more harder for her so did her. Her pussy would sp around him, sometimes he felt breathless but he was notining at all.


    She would lick his erect nipples and pull them in between her teeth, trying to get a reaction out of him and when he would return her the favour by pinching on hers, she would pull away, rubbing herself over him.

    "I love you!" She mouthed.


    "I love you too!" He kissed her lips.


    ________________________________________________


    Kian, after sessfully settling the deal with the Seikh, he came out and Thea followed him. Nathan was behind.


    "I heard you are taking a leave from next month, why?"


    She asked. He had just gotten back from God know where and was leaving once again.


    "My wife and I are expecting."


    He answered, very proudly. Although, Thea could not understand what it was for real. She just waited for him toplete. It also got Nathan''s attention that he strode forward, holding his ss of champagne, even though Kian and Thea did not notice.


    Nathanst saw or heard anything about Tinsley that day during the ident and when heforted her but that was all.


    He still did remember though how disturbed and scared she looked. His feelings for her were still the same and he could not get over it.


    He was aware of the fact that she was a married woman but the fact that she had left him did not go unheard by him.


    He had heard it from Thea''s gossips with Mrs William, Valeria when they threw a Christmas party in the William mansion.


    Kian was not there. It was during those times when he was furiously working for hispany to make ite to the bullion dor market from being in the multi-million clubs for a few months then.


    He had not heard about it but when he did that Tinsley had left him¡­he was taken aback too.


    And he would not lie and say, he did not see that as an opportunity to take it and warm inside Tinsley''s heart. But he could not find her.


    Everything was so short and hidden. And then a monthter, Kian went missing.


    And then he returned with very unexpecting news. And at that moment, he was standing right behind them, his ears straight and open, ready to hear anything they would say.


    "You are expecting what?"


    Thea questioned once again. She did not get him in the first ce. She wanted him to be clear.


    "We are pregnant!"


    And then and there, Kian had dropped the bomb, blowing off not just Thea but Nathan at the same time.


    For Thea, she had no words¡­she was rendered speechless. Her chances¡­any of it if were there to be with him someday¡­the only man, she had ever loved, had be negligible.


    Because after how Tinsley had left him, what Valeria had told her, there was hope for her¡­and now with the current announcement, everything was ruined for good.


    And same was for Nathan, he almost choked in his champagne. He could not believe his ears.


    "She is due next month so I will take my paternity leave to be by the side of my wife and our baby girl."


    Kian further stated. He somehow felt this very warm feeling for talking to someone else about this stuff. He felt proud.


    "Baby girl?"


    Thea could not believe it. How? When? Where? What in the freaking world???


    "Yes¡­we are going to call her, Ava¡­ it''s the name Tinsley liked so much¡­she started calling her Ava from the day one we got to know it''s a girl!"


    Kian exined and what he did not know was, all these details were only hurting Thea bit by bit.


    "Wow!! You guys are having a child for real this time?"


    That all that came out of her mouth first after being silent for more than a minute or two. Because she could not process all that he had said in one go.


    "Yes¡­I m officially going to be a father!"


    Kian dered, being as proud he had even been in his life. And that was something, Thea could never withhold.


    So after congratting him, she just disappeared out of there. She could not stay there even for another second or else she would burst out of suffocation.


    Were not they were over??


    That was what Valeria had told her. She had informed her of how Kian and Tinsley were over for good and here they were having their first child together.


    So she was flying back to Richmond. It took eight hours or more. Not taking any rest, she ordered her driver to drive in the direction of the Willson mansion.


    And when she had finally reached her destination, she did not wait for the doorman to take her inside. She went herself in.


    "Valeria?? Valeria!!"


    She screamed out. She was so angry and hurt and felt betrayed for being lied to.


    Why show her false hope when there was never a hope??¡­.not even a dime of it!!


    After a while, Valeria came climbing down the stairs and saw Thea Stilton. It had been a few months for them since they had metst time.


    "Look who is here!"


    Valeria chimed. With her old days and ailing body, she would get so few visitors and under the doctor''s prescription, she ought to have only rest and not much talk. She got bored.


    "Stop the nonsense!!"


    Thea spat and Valeria was taken aback by her behaviour. She could tell that something was up.


    And now, in her weak heart, she could tell that this news was going to affect her too.


    Her nephew had not contacted her sincest month and she had not bothered him much thinking he was busy working after he had cared for her since the beginning of the treatment.


    "What is it?"


    She straightforwardly asked, not cutting around bushes. Thea gave her an unbelievable look.


    "Why did you not tell me that your nephew and his fucking wife are expecting, for Christ sake!!!"


    Thea spat. The very thought of it was making her crazy. Valeria did not know what to say or what not to say.


    "What do you mean??"


    "They are having their first child in a month¡­in a MONTH!!! And you decided to keep that away from me¡­??? Why???"


    Thea yelled and it was a huge blow to Valeria. She was so much shocked that she had forgotten to breathe until she heard that the child was due in a month¡­


    "I had thought¡­.fuck!!! It does not even matter now anymore¡­does it??"


    Thea mockingly asked and sat down on the nearby sofa, defeated. For the first time, she felt like she was not going to get that one thing¡­one man she ever liked so much when all her life, she was used to getting what she ever wanted.


    "I did not¡­I had no idea until now¡­that my nephew had impregnated that woman again¡­"


    Valeria let out, cluelessly. When she had thought that this chapter was over for good only to find that it only gotten more deeper.


    She remembered Tinsley saying how she had lost two pregnancies and how she had med it on her¡­.and here she was pregnant again.


    This time, it would be so hard separating them for with the baby in the equation, there was no way, Kian would ever leave her¡­or even if he did, with the child, they would both share, they would be connected to each other forever.


    And it was something Valeria never wanted. Now she could tell and understand why Kian had gone missing.


    He had found her after more than six months of trying to find her. And when he did find her, he did not bother letting his aunt know, because he knew she would never be happy about it.


    And how oh how!!! Tinsley had to be pregnant before she decided to leave him behind only for him to find her and to never part ways again.

    ________________________________________________


    Just another usual day, strolling in the park.


    It had be a routine for Drake to apany the two very pregnantdies in the nearby neighbourhood park for regr morning walks.


    Beth and Tinsley were sitting on the green grass, feeling the cold fresh breeze of the morning.


    Drake was only a foot or two away from them, looking around. He was ready with their bags of necessity, everywhere they would go.


    "I like the mornings so much!"


    It made Tinsley tilt her head and look at Beth. Beth''s eyes were staring at the horizon, with a dreamy gaze.


    "Because it''s the starting of a brand new day¡­you know? It excites me to know how my day would go and end¡­And the ending would make me wonder about the starting of the next day again on the bed!"


    Beth stated and smiled at her own words. Tinsley was very silently listening to her¡­those words were deep and carried even deeper meanings.


    "My mother used to like the mornings!"


    Beth never talked about her parents and her childhood and it got Tin''s attention as she listened to the narration with utmost vignce.


    "I never understood why¡­only because I never could wake up as early as her.


    Not to forget, it annoyed me as she would roam around the house, making noises, breaking my precious sleep."


    Beth giggled, remembering those old days and it made Tin to wonder about hers.


    They were of course not in the same situation. She had never seen her mother, Marshally Rutherford waking up in the morning for she would be too tired to do so after attending night long rich parties.


    Marshally''s presence was a rare urrence at the breakfast table when Anna Maria would be feeding her all by herself and her father would drop by only for his cup of coffee and leave for work.


    That was how Tin had grown up. She would never know what it was like to have a mother roam around the house in the morning, getting her household ready for a brand new day.


    "And when I became a teenager, I never understood her logic of being happy for reliving the same day over and over again¡­there was nothing special about it.


    Everything was always the same day until when I broke apart from Jeff, I started seeing theing days in a totally different view¡­a brand new day!"


    Beth smiled. Tinsley returned the smile. She could see that the old memories were for some reason surfacing on the shore of thoughts of Beth.


    "And being pregnant¡­I could understand now why my mother did what she did¡­A mother has to make her entire household to look forward to a brand new day¡­it was not about just her¡­"


    Motherhood could change women for a better perspective¡­that their lives carry so much more meaning than they seemed to be.


    "Can we make a promise today?"


    Beth dropped it out all of a sudden and all this while, when Tin was mute, she opened up her lips for the first time.


    "And what that would be?"


    "That we will not let our girls go through the same shits we went through!"


    Beth said and poked into Tin''s evergreen eyes. And waited for Tin to reply¡­say anything.


    "If we let our girls go through it then we will be a joke of a mother!"


    Tin remarked and that made both burst out in a fit ofughter. Meanwhile, Drake stood, ideal, wondering what was so funny about a fuzzy cold morning.


    When Beth turned to look at Drake and their eyes matched, herughter intensified. For the poor man had no inkling of any kind, what was going on.


    "We should seal this promise with something."


    Tin proposed and Beth was quick to agree.


    "A vani ice cream!"


    And it was all it took, for Drake to run outside of the park and buy two fresh vani cones with two scoops of vani toppings as requested by both thedies.


    "Why is it taking him so long?"


    Tin argued. Ice cream was her favourite and even the wait to have it killed her inner craving self.


    "He is here¡­he is here!"


    Beth pointed out and they both smiled, holding their ice cream cones as they started licking around the toppings.


    "I m scared¡­"


    Beth let out and Tin could understand her in one go. Who was not to be a mother for the first time?


    "I m terrified too!"


    Tinsley joined in and both looked into the eyes of each other, afraid, clueless as they both headed towards this unknown journey of motherhood together.


    Tinsley was d to have someone like Beth to apany her on a journey like this. She could not have wondered to go through all of these all by herself.


    When it got too much chilly, they both decided to return back home. Drake closed the door behind him as the two women walked inside the small studio house.


    Tinsley was quick to open her coat and hang it on a hanger and kick out her feet off the sports shoe. Drake bought the ones withoutces for both of them and easy to put in and wear off. Kian had custom ordered them from a leading brand.


    Beth followed in too. She pulled her coat off and was about to hang it up when she felt a strict pain in her lower abdomen.


    She nudged it off when the pain subsided after a brief second. She held onto the table on the corner as she felt another wave of pain, hitting her right on the below.


    "Ahhh!! Ouch¡­"


    She moaned out and looked at the front in the living room and found Tin nowhere, meaning she had gone to the bathroom to freshen up and Drake was in the kitchen, preparing their breakfast.


    She closed her eyes and let breaths out in a series of numbers as the trainer in their yoga ss had taught them to do so.


    They both had been attending the yoga sses for pregnant women upon the request of their Ob Gynaecology and when Drake had reported it to Kian, he was quick in signing both up in fancy yoga lessons for the pregnant women¡­only the wealthy could afford.


    At first, they both would do yoga watching the YouTube tutorials and now after Drake''s interference, they had to move their asses to attend the real yoga lessons.


    Beth''s hold at the ends of the table got tighter as the pain started kicking in repeatedly and she could not hold in any longer.


    She let out a small mewl of pain and it got Drake''s attention. He was quick to interrogate.


    "Are you fine there, Miss Gomez?"


    Beth did not respond right away but after a while, she nodded her head, giving him a sweet smile amidst of the pain, looking in his way for a millisecond.


    "I m fine, Drake¡­and for the nth time, I m¡­Bethany!"


    She gritted her teeth as she felt the cramps covering all of her womb. She was aware of the fact that this kind of cram would be amon thing since her due date was almost nearer¡­the next week.


    "You do not look fine at all, Miss Gomez!"


    Drake voiced out after a while, once again, checking up on her, still standing on her same spot, holding onto the table ends, hitting on her lips, trying not to scream out in pain.


    "These¡­these are normal cramps!"


    She let out, in gaps. She was a first-timer and could not pinpoint the difference between the day to day cramps and the ones that initiate or give signals to thee starting of thebour period.


    "Do you need me toe there and help you??"


    Drake implored and came out of the kitchen, ready to carry the woman if needed.


    "No¡­no! I m fine!!"


    And then the water poured out of her from nowhere, shocking both of them in one go.


    "You definitely not fine!", Drake concluded.

    "No¡­no! I m fine!!"


    And then the water poured out of her from nowhere, shocking both of them in one go.


    "You seem not fine!"


    Drake concluded and ran up to her, seeing the wetness, it was confirmed that the baby wasing today¡­almost right at that moment.


    He immediately picked Beth up in his arms as if she weighed nothing and took her out to the car. He made her sit in veryfortably and then ran inside to get the pre-ready baby bag.


    "What is happening??"


    Jessica popped out and questioned Drake when she heard minute screams of pain from Beth.


    The old woman was just on her way to deliver breakfast pudding but then saw him carrying Beth out and putting her inside the car.


    "The baby ising!"


    It was all that Drake had said before disappearing inside the house. Jessica followed behind, not before peeking inside the car and saw Beth mewling in pain.


    "How do you know that? She is not due until next week!"


    Jessica implored and it was at that very moment, Tin came out to the living room, a little clueless as to why Drake was roaming around the house like a mad on fire.


    "Her water broke!!"


    He replied and grabbed the bag. It wasbelled as Bethany for two such bags were already prepared beforehand.


    And it took just that for both the women to freak out. Tinsley ran outside and so did Jessica, following behind Drake.


    Tinsley tried to get in but Drake stopped her. He could not keep check up on two women when one was going intobour.


    "Ma''am, please, you stay with Jessica. I will take Miss Gomez and will take care of everything else."


    He requested, hoping for her to understand. Tinsley shook her head and looked over at Beth, whose eyes were trained on hers too.


    "I m not going to leave her alone!"


    She said and Drake did not know how else to make the damn woman understand.


    He could not understand how was she was going to take care of Beth when she was very pregnant herself.


    "Your condition is not very fruitful for such things, ma''am please try to understand!"


    Drake pressed, and Tin still shook her head in negative. He turned upon Jessica for help there.


    "Jessica¡­"


    He signalled the old woman and all the time being wasted on this was making Beth lose patience, she just wanted to push the baby out of her aching body.


    "He is right, my dear¡­you will be no help there. Your condition is very ripe just like hers¡­"


    Jessica let out, holding onto Tinsley''s hand and it was in thest moment, Beth decided to speak up.


    "Pray for my baby girl!"


    "What do you mean? I ming with you!!"


    Tin stressed,ing closer and holding Beth''s hand. Jessica did not know how to break them apart and Drake was almost considering of taking them both but as always, Beth came as his saviour.


    "You will not! Drake drive, please!"


    Beth said and she let go of Tin''s hand. Drake came forward and closed the car door. He walked around and got inside the driver''s seat.


    "I will keep you guys updated. Do not worry!"


    Drake assured them both before starting the engine and driving away. Tinsley stood ideal along with Jessica, watching the Audi drive away before it disappeared from their sight.


    "Drive faster, please¡­I feel my body is going to be torn apart in two halves!!"


    Beth yelled out, trying to stick by the cramps that constantly kept hitting her womb repeatedly. Drake prayed for a miracle that traffic was clear.


    But on the main road, the traffic was yellow. He cursed out, punching against the steering wheel. His eyes looked at the rearview mirror to check up on her.


    "Hold onto your strength, Miss Gomez!"


    He said, almost scared by the woman''s red and sweaty face. She was gritting her teeth, biting on her lips, not wanting to scream bloody murder.


    "Do not give me advice!!"


    She let out furiously, frustrated. Her emotions, the pain, the ache, everything was all over her body and mind. And here a man, who had never in his life bore a child was giving her advice!¡­


    "As you say, Miss Gomez!"


    He replied curtly, totally getting that the woman was in too much pain. He did not seek the moment right for further conversation. And right at that moment, the traffic went green. He thanked the Almighty.


    "For the nth time, I m BETHANY!!"


    She screamed her name out. Why could he just not address her like that?


    Meanwhile, in the middle of the investor meeting, Kian''s phone rang and his eyes were quick to check who it was from.


    These days, he had been keeping his phone close for he needed to be ready whenever that call would be made of his wife going intobour.


    Two people were calling her. One was from his aunt, Valeria, whom he had not contacted for two months straight by then and he could only wonder why all of a sudden, she was calling him?


    She might havee to know that he had found Tinsley? And it was about time, she woulde to know either way.


    Another was from the woman, who had not bothered calling him once ever since their separation¡­his wife.


    His heart already started beating on seeing her name on the screen. He did not think twice before picking his wife over his aunt.


    "Kian¡­attention here!"


    Thea tried to bring his eyes from staring at his phone screen up to the presentation. He excused himself right away, adjourning the meeting.


    "I have to go. It''s from Tinsley¡­my pregnant wife!"


    He dered thest part, informing the delegates and before they could say anything, he was out.


    Thea, remained seated there, listening to the gossips of the officials about how much he cared for his wife that one call was enough for him to sum up his million-dor contract meeting.


    "Hey¡­Just breathe ok!! I will be there in exact about an hour from now!"


    He said, right away after answering the call. He knew that sometimes babies appeared beforehand their time off due.


    Tinsley was taken aback by his speech of asking her to breathe as if she did not know how to. He seemed like he was on a run.


    "Carlos inform Johnathan to ready my jet, we will fly to San Francisco in an hour!"


    She heard him ordering his driver in the background. He was not giving her any damn second to speak up.


    "Why are you flying to here?"


    It was the first thing that she asked him. Kian sat inside his Mercedes as Carlos got ready to drive him to the private airport.


    "Don''t you want me by your side when you deliver our child?"


    Kian implored. He did not know why would she ask him such a silly question. He knew that she was angry and was going to act like a brat again.


    "You know what, I ming either way¡­you want me or not! I ming for my daughter!"
