09

Finally, it's Friday evening. My bags are packed and so are that of the boys.

Once it's 5 pm, I drive them to Anastasia's home. She had been so thrilled when I asked her if they could stay with her so that helped make me less worried.

In all honesty, I am a lot excited about this trip. A girls trip to unwind is just what I need right now after all the shit that my life has been turned into. Up until Alice suggested it, I didn't realized how badly I needed a getaway

We arrive at the Wallace estate soon and I immediately go to get the boys bags.

They hold onto my hands tightly, on both sides, as we walk up the steps leading to the massive entrance doors.

Anastasia immediately opens the door, a large grin on her face as she walks out, looking radiant as ever. I swear this woman is like a fine wine, getting better with age.

She hugs me and kisses both my cheeks before bending to hug the boys.

"Hey, Grandma." They greet her with wide smiles, this in turn makes me smile.

I hand the butler who walks out, their bags as I quickly turn to them squatting to their eye level.

"Now remember, I'm only a call away so if you want to talk to me for whatever reason, just tell grandma, okay?"

They nod vigorously with slightly sad looks on their faces. Heck, I'm sad. I've never been away from my children for even a day so this is going to be hard.

I hug them tightly, laying soft kisses on their foreheads before forcing myself to stand up and leave.

"Thank you, Anastasia." I look at her.

"Anytime." She says softly with a dismissive hand gesture. "And please, make sure you have fun, okay?"

"I will." I agree with a smile as I get back into the car and drive off to the airport where I will be meeting Alice. Initially, I was a little skeptical about driving myself there, but she assured me that my car will be taken home safely.

It's a slightly long drive to the airport due to the traffic, but I soon make it.

I drive into the private plane hangers where she said her father's jet would be waiting for me.

As I pull up into the tarmac, I notice that there are no cars there except for a black Bentley which wasn't familiar. I scrunch up my face in confusion. Alice asked me to be here by 6:30 and now it's almost 7pm yet no one is here yet.

I go to pull out my phone to call her when there is a knock on the window. I look up to see a young man who is dressed like an airport attendant. He gives me a smile. "Miss Freeman?"

"Yes?"

"The jet is waiting for you." He informs me with a head nod in the direction of the white majestic jet. The engines are already on from the sound of it, this just confuses me even more.

Not wanting to be rude though, I nod before getting out of the car. I go to take my bags from the trunk but the man is already doing that and passing it to another man who looks like a bodyguard of some sort in a black suit which covers his big frame. I find this a bit strange but I decide to just keep quiet.

We walk towards the jet and he pauses, "After you, ma'am."

"Thank you." I say with a polite smile as I walk up the steps. At the door, a beautiful blonde haired flight attendant is standing there immaculately dressed, her hair do neat without a strand out of place. Her make up is done to perfection and for a moment I can't help but admire her.

Once upon a time, when I was younger I wanted to be a flight attendant. One of the many things I wanted to become when I was younger.

She gives me a bright smile as she takes my hand bag from me, "Welcome."

"Thank you." I say with a smile.

I look towards the seating area expecting to see girls cheering or something but no one is there. Now I'm down right scared. What the fuck kind of prank is Alice playing with me right now? If she hates me for not being with her brother I'm sure we can always talk it out, not for her to fly me to a foreign country and dump me. Not cool.

As I walk further in, I notice a man seated there. I wouldn't have thought much of it if I didn't immediately identify that mane of thick black hair, slicked and styled.

"Oh, fuck no." I immediately say to myself as I turn around. "Mmm mm."

He immediately stands up, dressed in a perfect black suit, his huge frame crowding up the space a bit, or is it just me? I want to leave right now, but I decide to demand an explanation for this rubbish first.

"What the fuck, Henry? I was supposed to be meeting with your sister. Did you make her quit the trip just so you could back me into a corner to even be in your presence?" Something immediately goes off in my head. "Unless... she was lying in the first place." I breathe out.

"I'm gonna kill you, Alice." I mutter under my breath.

"Trust me she wanted no part in this." Henry begins speaking as he walks towards me slowly which makes me back up with every step he takes. "I just wanted to speak to you and get you alone but you weren't picking my calls, you weren't accepting to see me."

I immediately cut him off. "Yet again, Henry, you have failed to get the fucking hint! So just because I didn't pick your calls and I didn't accept to see you, you trick me to fly out of the country to God knows where. Where the fuck are we even going anyway?" I ask incredulously.

He ignores my question. "I just want a chance to apologize, Sandy. I'm sorry, so sorry for everything that I put you through. I-I was foolish and young and I only cared about myself and my work and I failed to show you and our children how much I love you and how much you mean to me. I wish I had a chance to go back in time, I would do everything different, but I can't. And we only have now, Sandy. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you hating me. With us not being a family. And I'm sorry it took me so long to realize this but I have finally come to my senses."

"About time." I mutter to myself again as I feel my eyes get teary.

"Those years that you were states away, I felt like only a shell of myself, like I was half a man." By now he was before me, his intense grey eyes burrowing into my soul. I gulped loudly as I felt glued to the spot where I stood. "You make me whole, you make me complete, like the man I should be. And I was so stupid for not realizing that early on."

He takes a deep breathe before continuing as if what he was about to say was hard for him. "I'm not saying that things should go back to the way it once was immediately, I just want you to be open minded to the chance of an 'us' again. I just want you to know that I will never ever neglect you or our children again. You all mean the world to me and I am never making that mistake again. I love you, Sandy, so much."

By the time he was done, the tears in my eyes were pouring down my cheeks. For some reason I needed to hear that to confirm what I already knew deep inside me but I was unwilling to admit. "I love you too." I say before standing on my tippy toes and allowing our lips to clash. Suddenly, nothing else mattered. Like our problems were all miles away in my mind. All that mattered was this moment and the tender touch of his big hand caressing my cheeks. His lips are firm against mine as I hold on firmly unto his neck never wanting to let him go.

I know we have been through a lot in our relationship, but it seems like at the end of the day all that matters is our feelings for each other. The rest, we will figure out along the way.

Hours after, I am awakened by Henry calling out my name softly. My eyes flutter open to his beautiful face with the sunlight from outside glaring behind him like a halo. He gives me a bright smile. "Good morning, beautiful."

"Good morning." I say with a genuine smile on my face. For the first time in days I feel satisfied. Like my old self.

I slowly get up and look around, noticing now that I'm laying on a bed in the bedroom of the plane. I slowly stand up, a small yawn making its way out of my mouth as I stretch a bit, my muscles feeling cramped.

"We will be landing soon." Henry informs me as he watches me with a tender look in his eyes.

I walk towards the window and immediately my breathe is taken away by the view before me.

"Where are we?" I ask, the shock in my voice unmasked as I stare at the beautiful mixture of the light blue and green before me.

"Welcome to Los Paraíso, mi amor." Henry says as he wraps his strong arms around my waist and places a gentle kiss on my temple.

"Wow."

"I bought this island, four years ago." Henry informs me as we walk down the steps of the jet. "I wanted to create a holiday island exclusively for the nouveau rich so I turned this into just that. There are a total of 20 hotels 7 star hotels on this island."

"Are we going to be staying in one of them?" I ask him as he opens the door to the sleek black limo waiting for us on the tarmac for me.

"No. I have a house here, that's where we will be staying, mi amour."

The drive to his house is filled with silence as I am absorbed in the magnificent beauty of this island. Everything here is so beautiful and natural. There are a gazillion palm trees lining up the roads which gives it a serene feeling. I immediately wind the windows down to breathe in the fresh clean air of this place that strangely feels different if that is even possible.

"Wow. It's so beautiful." I say still mesmerized by everything I've seen here so far.

"It sure it." I hear Henry say close behind me.

I turn around to see his attention intently on me which causes it me to blush. This makes him smirk slightly as he moves in to kiss me. This kiss is quick and passionate. Enough to ignite a need for him in me. But it ends all too quickly and Henry moves away, I go in for more but he smiles and caresses my cheek. "Later, mi amor." His eyes roam over my face as if searching for something. "I still can't believe that you're here."

"Believe it." I tell him with a grin.

Suddenly, lust replaces the previous look on his face. "You better get ready. Four years without you has left me hungry. So hungry that by the time I'm done fucking you and pumping you full of my cum, you won't be able to walk for days."

I feel a shiver of desire course through my body as I feel my panties become damp. Anticipation fills me. "I can't wait." I tell him. A bolt of confidence goes through me so I move towards him and nip on his lips softly, pulling on his lower lip with my teeth as I allow my hand to wander south.

He lets out a pained groan as I hold his big manhood in my hand. He is harder than a rock already and the sheer size of it through his pants is almost scary. I immediately let him go with a wide smirk on my face. The warning look he gives me leaves me even more dripping than I was a second ago.
