Eighty nine
Zeke’s POV
I woke up feeling an unusual warmth and softness around me. Stirring awake, my eyes fell on Kamille, perfectly snuggled in my arms, her face peaceful in sleep.
My gaze roamed over her delicate features, her smooth skin, and I couldn’t help but recall the night before. The memory of how we had come together with such intensity and passion made me smile.
I had tried to control myself, but the moment I realized she wanted me just as much, I lost all restraint. Now, looking at her, all I desired was to replay everything that had transpired between us.
I picked up my phone and sent a message to Mr. Rogers. We would need new sets of clothes as my eyes settled on the clothes strewn across the floor of the room.
Kamille stirred and slowly opened her eyes, meeting my gaze. “How long have you been awake?” she asked, her voice soft and sleepy.
“Not long,” I replied with a smile.
She returned my smile, but then sighed. “I have to go meet the kids,” she said, starting to sit up.
“Okay, but I’ll escort you,” I said, a mischievous glint in my eye.
“Okay,” she agreed, but she didn’t realize my true intentions.
As she started to rise, I followed her, and she turned to see my mischievous grin. “Zeke,” she blushed, “I’m still feeling sore from last night.”
“I just want to make sure you’re fine in the bathroom,” I said, my voice low and teasing.
She rolled her eyes but couldn’t help laughing. “Go away,” she said playfully.
But I was already following her to the bathroom, and despite her protests, we ended up having sex again in the shower, unable to keep our hands off each other.
Stepping out of the bathroom, our clothes were already laid on the bed. We got dressed and headed out to the private car park. We arrived at the penthouse just as Nanny Dona was setting the breakfast table for the kids before school.
The children ran towards us excitedly, their voices filling the room with joy. They engulfed us in a bear hug, their laughter infectious.
“Daddy! Mummy!” they chorused, their happiness evident.
I noticed the constant smile on Reon’s face and the excited expressions of Royer, Torin, and Tyris. It warmed my heart to see them so happy.
Nanny Dona looked at us and said, “Seeing you two here this early, I presume you haven’t had breakfast yet?”
Kamille nodded and turned to me. I nodded in agreement. “No, we haven’t,” I confirmed.
The breakfast table was beautifully set, with an array of fresh fruits, pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon. There were glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice and a pot of steaming coffee. Kamille and I sat down with the kids, enjoying the meal together.
As I watched them, I felt a deep sense of contentment. I promise to make this a reality as soon as possible. I smiled softly at Kamille, who smiled in response.
After breakfast, we took the kids to school together. Seeing their excitement as they headed off to class, I knew we were doing the right thing for them. Once we dropped them off, I drove Kamille back home.
“Thank you so much Zeke,” She said as we stepped into her house.
“You’re welcome,” I replied, wearing a bright smile. “Nanny Dona will be brought back here with the kid’s stuff soon,” I added.
“Alright,” She smiled, then we shared a lingering kiss before I headed to my office.
I had to be the most fucking fulfilled man on earth today! I smiled contently as we arrived at my office building.
As I stepped inside, I noticed the soft whispers among the staff. Normally they deserved a punishment, but because they were fulfilling my task without knowing, I would overlook their gossips on my facility.
The more people carry around the information of Kamille’s return, the more powerful she becomes and the more followers she would gain.
Entering the building, Rogers hurried to my side, and together we took the private elevator to my office. Once I settled down at my desk, I looked at him expectantly. “So, what’s the status around here?” I asked.
Rogers gave a positive report on the office activities. “Everything is running smoothly, sir.”
“Good to hear,” I said, leaning back in my chair. “And what about the lawyer?”
Rogers’ expression turned serious. “We have confirmed that the lawyer is indeed in Ellen and her father’s hands and we cannot reach them because they have stationed guards everywhere.”
My eyes darkened at the news. “I don’t fucking like the sound of that,” I muttered, clenching my fists.
Rogers nodded in agreement. “It’s definitely concerning. We need to be cautious.”
I stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the city. The view didn’t calm me as it usually did. “We need to find a way to turn this to our advantage,” I said, more to myself than to Rogers.
He stepped closer. “What’s the plan, sir?”
I turned to face him. “First, we need to keep a closer watch on Ellen and her father. I want every move they make monitored. Secondly, we need to ensure Kamille and the kids are safe. I don’t want them to know anything until we’re ready to act.”
Rogers nodded, making notes. “I’ll get our best men on it.”
“Good,” I said. “And Rogers?”NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Yes, sir?”
“Make sure this stays between us. I don’t want anyone else involved until we know exactly what we’re dealing with.”
“Understood, sir,” Rogers nodded. “I’ve already increased surveillance on them. We’ll know every move they make.”
“Good,” I said. “Keep me updated.”
With that settled, I tried to focus on my work, but my mind kept drifting back to Kamille and the kids. I couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. Ellen and her father were dangerous, and I needed to ensure they couldn’t hurt the people I cared about.
Somewhere in my mind, I could sense a raging storm coming our way. But I could not definitely pick out what it was.
