Chapter 15
It was weeks before we fully settled into our new home. I found a private school for the twins, and they started going.

“Hello?” David hollered, entering the living room.
п
Hey,” I smiled, and he kissed my cheek in greeting.
David has been a good friend of mine. He wanted to be more than that, but I refused him. I wasn’t ready for a relationship, and he accepted that.
Nevertheless, he brought it up again in the last six months and is determined this time, so I told him I’d
consider it.
David would be an excellent match for me. He was successful, handsome, had a great personality, made me laugh, and was good to the kids. Solara and Cay liked him too. He mostly did everything they wanted. My little monsters were manipulative sometimes and knew he had a thing for their Mommy, so they
used that.

Beautiful house,” he commented, looking around with his eyes.
The house was lovely. It was surrounded by forest, and the security detail was top–notch.
We had a pool since the kids love swimming on hot days.
“Indeed, let me give you a tour,” I told him.
I finished the tour almost an hour late, and he was impressed. David and I sat on the lounge outside near the pool.
How are you dealing with the buyout?” he asked.
It’s alright. Do we know when the New York office will be re–opening?” I asked.
“No,”
‘Why did you allow the takeover?” I asked carefully, not knowing if I had crossed a line. With the takeover, another company acquires control of it.
My parents have already sold their shares to EC–Group. I’ll still be present since I have my own shares,” he explained. Mr. Kenny Koffling sold his shares to punish David for not marrying the woman they wanted. Some parents can be too unmindful.

‘I’m sorry your father did that to you. I know how much you work for that company,” I told him.
Don’t worry, Love. I’ll get it back; this is temporal,” he assured me with a smile.
I’m glad you’re here; I just signed the new contract for EC- Group,” I informed him; it was the new company we’d be working with… Oh, working for.

Are you sure I should have?” I asked, skeptical.

“It’s a good deal. I want you by my side,” he said. I nodded, knowing this was hard for him. He was supposed to be CEO, but now, he’ll work under someone.
I looked at the clock on my wristwatch. My babies would return soon, and I needed to start making lunch.
“The kids are almost here; I should make lunch,” I told him. He stood up and extended his hand to me. I took it, and we walked to the kitchen. David helped me make lunch. We were laughing as we did, and my gaze fell on him. I will love him someday. He was a lovable person.
He suddenly held my waist. I tensed from his touch, but I didn’t pull away. My heart pounded in my chest, pulling me towards him. He was so close.
“Love, I want to be with you. I love you,” he confessed. I swallowed thickly. My eyes fell on his lips, and mine were suddenly dry. David had a knowing, smug smile on his lips. He leaned in to kiss me, and I kissed him back. It was our first kiss. It was slow and passionate. His hands were on my waist, and I placed my palm against his chest. I pulled away and stared into his eyes. They lit up.
” Davi-”

“We’ll take it slow. I won’t pressure you,” I inhaled and nodded. David kissed me again in happiness as the front door opened, and we pulled apart.
