getting 38 NO HEAD ALLOWED FOUR YEARS AGO ARIEL’S POV The hard work paid off, filled with so many joy. The pain was indeed too much, but the safe delivery took place, now here i was now, with my two little adorable babies.

The moment I held them in my arms, a wave of pure love and overwhelming happiness washed over me. Their tiny fingers curled around mine, their eyes gazing up at me with innocence and trust I couldn’t help but marvel at the miracle of life and the incredible journey we had all been through together. But these little babies really kicked my belly hard so I knew that this was just the beginning of a perfect life that would be filled with unconditional love, sleepless nights, and endless joy.

Of course, after months of patience, it had now happened. I was ready to embrace every moment, to cherish their first smiles, their first steps, and to be there for them every step of the way.

The challenges ahead seemed small in comparison to the immense joy and fulfillment these little bundles of joy brought into my life. They were just so cute, and I could remember the times when I slowly moved, all because of thee little two.

I was grateful for the support of this one person who had been there for me during those difficult months of pregnancy and labor. He knew what was going on, yet he took me like his OWIL I wanted to just quit this life several times, but his unwavering encouragement and presence gave me the strength to endure and overcome any obstacles that came my way. Isn’t that just wonderful?

Now, here I was, looking into the innocent faces of my babies, It was obvious the journey ahead would be filled with love, laughter, and the most precious moments that would make it all worthwhile. Ariel, this was indeed a remarkable moment in your life.

Andre got into the room, slowing walk to my direction. Seeing the little ones, and hearing their beautiful cry, he smiled, with little tears streaming down his eyes.

When he finally got close, he sat on the edge of the bed. “They look so cute,” he said, softly touching the little faces of my adorable babies.

“I know, right?” I uttered, still exhausted from all that pushing.

“They’re beautiful, just like their mother.” Andre smiled at me. I giggled to his comment.

“They have your eyes,” he whispered. “And look at those tiny fingers, so delicate and perfect.”

I smiled, a mixture of pride and exhaustion evident on my face. “I can’t believe this day would finally come. It’s just so, unimaginable.”

“Unimaginable?” Andre looked at me. “Please, don’t say that. This is a big moment for you. You know these babies today, are going to give you different gleeful expressions.”

“I know, but I just didn’t think all of this, would happen so soon.

Andre laughed. “You never said any of these things when you were still carrying these babies.” His tone was playful, causing the both of us to laugh.

“So, you thought of names, yet??

I looked at the two lovely babies, their heavenly faces, aggrandizing my smile. “Janice and Lukel After naming them, I turned to Andre. He had this slight confused face.

“What?” I asked, smiling at him.

“I’m totally good with Janice. But Lukel? Seriously? Is that even a word? Like, why?” Andre spoke.

“I have my reasons,” I said softly, setting my eyes once again on my beautiful babies.

LUKE’S POV Harriet’s action replayed in my mind. The sting of her hand on my cheek lingered, fueling the fire of resentment within me. I could feel my fists clenching involuntarily, my whole body tensing up with a mix of rage and disbelief.

“What the hell did you just do?” I asked, brimming with anger.

“You need to watch your mouth, Luke,” Harriet told me. Her pleading tone had vanished completely. “I need some respect!”

“Respect? Do you think a whore like you deserve respect?”

“Don’t call me that!”

“Oh shut up!” I snapped. “You deserve all the insults in the world, because you’re an absolute fool.”

“You can insult me all you want, Luke. But I know you still want this.”

“Keep your disgusting body to yourself.”

Harriet ignored me, and the moment she inched closer, my unease grew. Suddenly, she knelt down and her fingers began encircling my crotch. The shock and disbelief washed over me as she swiftly undid my belt.

I couldn’t believe she was following through with this. Right now, a wave of anger surged within me.

This was completely unacceptable.

My mind raced, grappling with how to respond to this violation. Should I stab her or choke her to death?

This was totally insane, and if she thought she could blind my eyes with this nonsense, she was truly mistaking.

ARIEL’S POV Michael finally left the house, after he was done eating. Andre had already gone to the hospital. And as for me, I was just here, waiting to hear what Mason had to say.

Mason walked down the stairs, his confident stride caught my attention. He strained an air of mystery, featured by the leather jacket that hugged his frame and the sleek black jeans he Wore.

approach, a mix of curiosity and annoyance flickered across my face. He was an annoying jerk.

“Have you been standing there, waiting for me?” He asked, giving me the fake smile.

“I don’t have time for jokes. What is it you want to talk about?”

“You need to calm down woman.” He kept on with his two–faced smile. I rolled my eyes in annoyance, as I let out a deep sigh.

“You’ll have to follow me,” he said, taking his shades off his eyes.

I couldn’t help but give him a confused look. “Where?”

“You’ll know when we get there,” Mason answered, and transposed to the door.

“Go somewhere with you, at this time of the night?” I turned to him. “I see you’re planning to take my life already.”

He reached for the doorknob. “There’s no need for you to panic. I’m not planning to kill you any time soon.”

“Wow,” I spoke, crossing my arms. “That means you’ve actually fixed a time when you’ll chop my head off. You know, you can just do that now.”

“No, you still have a mission to accomplish, remember?” He slowly turned around, giving met the baleful smirk. “But if you try to act stupid, you’re gonna regret it. Your little babies will join you in hell.”

LUKE’S POV With my belt taken off, as well as my pants, Harriet’s hands reached towards my boxers, a surge of conflicting emotions washed over me. The lines between desire and restraint blurred, and my instinct kicked in.

I seized her hands, my fingers tightening around her sensitive wrists. But before I could react further, a sharp pain shot through my body as she sank her teeth into my flesh, forcing me to release my grip.

She quickly dipped her hands in my boxers, pulling out my member, which was now hard in her hands.

But I refused to let pleasure get the best of me.

She was about to take it in her mouth, but I was fast enough to stop her. No head allowed.

37 SORRY CHANGES NOTHING LUKE’S POV Harriet could notice the anger on my face right now, burning within me like flames. And I could tell she was scared, but she wanted to act tough. I was not going to be blinded by her desirable looks.

Still glaring at Harriet, I forcefully pressed her hand, which I had a hold of..

“Ouuu,” she vocalized in pain. “Luke, what are you doing?”

“I’m just fulfilling your wish–making you scream.” I squeezed her hand harder.

“This is not how it’s supposed to be.” Harriet struggled to cease my grip, but it was just too tight.

“Then how?”

“Let me go, and I’ll show you.” She tightly shut both of her eyes.

I didn’t give Harriet a reply. But instead, I kept on inflicting pain on her.

“Please Luke, let go of me!” Her scream only got louder, and I had to do as she said.

After letting go of Harriet, I grabbed her face, forcefully pressing her jaws. “Now listen, I don’t want anything to do with you again. Don’t think you can use your body to make me forget about everything you did.”

“I said I’m sorry!” she spoke, with the words barely coming out of her mouth, since I was pressing her jaws like hell.

‘Sorry’s going to change nothing,” I spat bitterly. “You tell me, if you throw a plate to the ground, causing it to shatter into peices. And you tell it sorry, is it going to be fixed? Is it going to get back to normal?”

“No,” she answered lowly, barely audible.

“Is it?” I snarled, moving my face closer to hers, still pressing her jaws forcefully.

“No!” Harriet screamed clamorously this time, with both of her eyes still closed. I thrust her visage backwards after that.

She stood still for a moment, trying to catch her breath. And seeing her face, the hatred grew more and more.

ARIEL’S POV Mason and I exchanged a gaze, which lasted for some seconds. Of course I knew what he wanted to talk about, but would this guy even let me rest?

“So what are you trying to say? That I shouldn’t follow Andre?” I asked Mason, installing both of my hands on my waist.

“Yes,” he answered coldly, dropping his phone on the table. “This is important.”

“Important?” I blurted out, letting out a short sigh. “I know what you want to talk about. Can’t that wait till when I get back?”

RY CHANGE “No, no, it can’t,” Mason replied, getting up. “You might take too long, and I’m afraid I’ll fall asleep, waiting for your lame ass.

His last words caused Michael to look at him.

“What?” Mason asked Michael in an unfriendly tone, noticing how he was just staring at him.

“You just disrespected her,” Michael answered.

Mason took a quick look at me, before fixing his gaze back on Michael. “So what?”

“You’re not supposed to do that,” Michael defended me.

“This is unbelievable.” Mason couldn’t help but laugh. “It seems like you have no idea who you’re talking to.”

“I do. And don’t start thinking too high of yourself,” Michael retorted.

“Oh shut up!” Mason slammed the table with his fist. He was burning with rage, breathing heavily, glaring at Michael. “You do not want to regret this.”

“What are you going to do?” Michael spat back.

“Okay that’s enough!” I had to put an end to their little fight. Mason was insane, and I didn’t want Michael’s life to be in jeopardy..

Mason and Michael glared at each other, silent, yet burning with intense rage. And this was definitely not something I wanted.

“Ariel, aren’t you coming?” Andre screamed from outside.

I looked at Mason, and he raised his brows at me, faking a smile. Crazy how he changed that frowny expression in seconds.

LUKE’S POV “I don’t see the need for you to still be standing there,” I told Harriet, still not taking my glare off her.

“Get out.” I gestured toward the door.

“Why the hate of all a sudden, Luke?” Harriet threw a dumb question at me. And I gave her a look that showed how stupid she was.

I didn’t say anything, but she continued to scrutinize me, waiting for an answer.

“That’s a dumb question, you know.” I had to let her know. “And you better get the hell out of this room, out of this house. Just taking a look at your face, makes me sick.”

“This is exactly what I’m talking about,” she uttered and continued, “A love you claimed to have for so many years, is going to come to an end just like that?”

“You don’t have to keep repeating this, Harriet. You changed, so I decided to change as well.”

“I never changed!”

“So that means you’ve been sleeping with other men since day one.” I chuckled promptly, averting my gaze. “I should have known.

“You made a lot of promises to me, Luke. They’re still in my of them.”

head. And couldn’t fulfill any you.

“Well, it’s all because of you,” I retorted. “If you had just remained loyal, I’m pretty sure we won’t be like this right now.”

“Things can still change, Luke.” Harriet moved closer, and I took a step backward. “We can back to the way we used to be.”

still go “Impossible,” I disagreed. “There is no way I’m getting back together with a whore like you. “Did you just call me a whore?” She asked, a broken tone.

“Was i wrong to call you that?” I spat. “You’re the one who brought this upon yourself. Doing something so disgusting.”

“But I said sorry.”

“Sorry changes nothing!” I snapped right away, and gave her the usual glare. “Sorry’s just a word, okay? And even if it did change situations, it wasn’t going to be in this case.”

Harriet’s look wasn’t nice, and she paid attention to every word I spoke.

“I gave you a chance, a chance to change your ways. But what did you do? You squandered it. And it’s not like those men are more handsome than me.”

“I don’t see the need for this long talk. Just tell me, is your decision final? Do you really want to end our relationship?”

“If I’m not mistaking, I already ended this shit. I don’t know why you’re still asking me this question. It’s pretty stupid of you.

“I see. So you’re telling me that you no longer want this ravishing body of mine?” she flaunted her figure, feeling so pround of herself.

“Dead things don’t come back to life. I hope you know that,” I told her. “The dead decades and as time goes on, they’re forgotten. So let me make things clear to you, Harriet. You are now a dead person in my world. And all the beautiful moments we had; I consider them to be nothing. I was only wasting my time with you,.

when there were other loyal wom out there.”

“You’re forgetting that I’m the one who saved your life when we were little.” She crossed her arms, harking my mind back to the past.

“No, no. Don’t get things wrong around here. You only found a way we could escape. But because you were terrified, you refused to follow the way, but I did. I was the one who gathered the courage. So apparently, I saved myself.”

“I can’t believe you’re saying all these.”

“And I can’t believe you’re still wasting your time. You should be somewhere else, getting banged by those good–for–nothing men. Because that’s clearly what you’re good at.”

Harriet slapped me immediately.
