Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 251

“I’m sure they’ll enjoy it. I don’t know why you’re so worried and stressed out about this,” Zak spoke to me through the phone. He sounded so amused about all this, but I felt anxious and uncertain.

“I don’t know. It’ll be their first time so…” I replied hesitantly.

“It’ll be fine. I’ll be there to help you if anything happens but honestly, nothing will happen, Natalia. You’re just over thinking things…” Zak assured me calmly.

I could picture his overly confident face as he said those words. After the matter with his mother had settled down, Zak did what was the most responsible thing to do which was to support Lucien fix the family business together. It was amazing to look back and see how much those two have achieved together. The company was set on the right course and was able to maintain its leadership position in the industry.

As expected, Lucien was elected to be the next Elder after the scandal involving Francesca’s crimes were exposed to the public. Since Lucien did not have any children apart from me, he did not have an heir to take over. Naturally, that was where Zak came in as sort of a hero who exposed his mother’s crimes. Now all the attention and pressure are on Zak to take over after Lucien.

I was sure that this wasn’t what Zak completely wanted but he was satisfied enough with it to play along…at least for now. The best thing was that Zak could focus on his career in film and fashion more than before and he had many accomplishments over the years to show for it.

“Ok. I trust you so…we’ll be seeing you later then,” I said with defeat.

Zak was right. I can’t keep putting this off forever. I took a deep breath to strengthen my resolve.

…

“Thank you…” I said politely as a bodyguard in a black suit opened the door to the limousine and offered a hand to help me out of the car.

For this special occasion, I had chosen a bright red fully sequined long dress with a V-neck and a thigh-high slit as my outfit with matching ruby and diamond earrings and choker. The makeup artist obviously chose a ruby red shade of lipstick for me to match with the outfit. I had to say I looked fiercely sexy.

Edward commented that he hated the look when I sent him a selfie of myself before he added that he hated it because he couldn’t be here with me. I sent him a selfie of me blowing him a kiss as I wished him luck with his work.

Usually, one of my biggest worries at these red-carpet events would be tripping over my own high heels and falling on my face. However, this time, my biggest worries were these little angels.

After successfully, getting out of the car, I bent down towards the door and helped out the pair of twins. Devon was dressed in a smart suit for kids and Roseline in a pink puffy dress. They looked like real-life angels walking this planet. Next, came Ryder who could get out and help himself. Thank goodness for that. I was so proud of my little man.

The camera flashes were blinding as countless cameramen surrounded us to take photos of the children and me. I smiled brightly and proudly as I held the hands of the twins and Ryder stood next to my side for a group photo.
