He pulled me close to him and gently stroked my back. I felt his heartbeat against my chest and focused on it..... feeling so grateful that I have this man in my life. I laid on his arms,feeling tired and spent. I felt him lift up my hand and then slid something cold into my finger. I quickly bro

*TESSA* “You two are meant for each other.”She added. I couldn’t agree more. “My dear,I also want you to know that marriage isn’t rosy all the time.Life in general isn’t always rosy…there would always be good times and bad times.Though no one hopes of prays for the bad times but when it comes une

I prayed and hoped it would continue like this until we’re old and grey. We walked back to my apartment building hand in hand…enjoying the moonlit night… We barely made it to my apartment when he started to kiss me against the wall with a scorching raw-edged passion. When we managed to get into m

*TESSA* Declan left his company almost an hour ago and was yet to show up. I was filled with worry hoping nothing bad had happened to him. Had he been in an accident? I left the courthouse and walked all the way to Hudson’s Group. I had to walk to see if there was any sign of an accident scene
