I sat gazing at my beautiful wife who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she rolled on the bed causing her pink see-through nightie to go up a bit exposing her pink taut areola. I gasped as I turned away from her beautiful body. Every time I look at her is just like the first time I met her at the club, I could never be tired of her.
It has been two weeks since we got a tip from the taxi driver who had driven Deborah to the cemetery. Apparently, he had seen her face and phoned the police but still yet, there wasn't any news from her. It seems like she has disappeared underground ever since then.
It gives me sleepless nights whenever I remember that she was still out there at large. I know she loves me and wouldn't do any harm to me but I'm more scared for my wife and my little princesses. I won't be able to survive if anything should happen to them. They were my life.
And Shawn had refused to talk even after being heavily tortured by the police, Don, and John.
“ Daddy, Daddy”
I turned to see my two angels standing in front of my bedroom door with excitement on their faces. I quickly placed my hands on my mouth, signaling them to shut up as I stood up to go meet them as I didn't want them to wake their mother.
“ What is it, my angels?” I asked them both, looking from Nadia to Nora. Nora was the first one, she had her mother's caring heart and easily forgives while Nadia was more like me, she was distrustful to strangers and rarely forgives. They both have my blue eyes and their mother's blond hair.
“ Daddy, when is mom going to wake up? I can't wait to wish her a happy birthday” Nadia asked me as I bent to ruffle her hair. Something she hates a lot. I forgot to mention, she adores her mother more than I even though she had my attitude. I'm sometimes jealous of it.
“ Very soon. We shouldn't disturb her. She was busy helping your grandmother Diana last night to set up their new house” I told them as I squatted down to hug them close, breathing in their scent of lavender and vanilla. I guess Emma had bathed them earlier.
“ Come, let me make you breakfast of bacon and egg before your mummy wakes,” I told them, already dragging both their hands down the stairs to the kitchen where Emma was busy making breakfast. I smiled at Emma for always coming to my rescue even after telling her that she doesn't have to get up very early anymore.
“ Good morning, Mr. Thompson” Emma greeted me as soon as she saw me entering the kitchen with the girls.
I groaned and turned to frown at her” Emma. I thought I told you to call me Michael. You are making me feel too old” I complained to her, causing Emma to erupt in laughter. Sometimes, she intentionally calls me that because she knows I would complain. For God's sake, I was forty_two, not fifty.
“ Don't worry, Michael. I was only teasing you” Emma smiled at me before she squatted down to greet the girls who were still clinging to my hands.
“ And how are my beautiful princesses doing this morning?” I heard Emma asked Nora and Nadia as I left them to go on with breakfast.
“ We are good, Emma. But mummy just won't wake up” They both scream as they settle down on the kitchen stool.
“ Don't worry, let's give her some time. I'm sure she's tired” I heard Emma's faint reply as she repeated what I had told them earlier.
I walked down the sitting-room about to go back into my room when my phone suddenly rang. I paused and pulled it out of my pocket to see that it was Andrea calling me.
I quickly accepted the call and placed it on my ear“ Hey, Andrea. How are you?” I greeted him as I resumed ascending the stairs.
“ Congratulations, Michael. Lush Beauty ranks No 1 again in beauty and Fashion” Andrea called to me with excitement in his voice. I couldn't help the smile that spread across my face as soon as I heard that. I was so happy for Nina, ever since she took over Lush Beauty we had gotten a huge number of awards that I lost count of them.
“ Really? That's great news” I called to him with a smile on my face“ I'll make sure to pass the news to Nina. I'm sure she will be excited to hear that. Have a great day, and see you at the event tonight” I told him before hanging up as I walked into the room to see that Nina was already up. I could hear the shower running in the bathroom, I smiled while thinking if I should go prank her in the bathroom.
“No, let her be. She has been so tired yesterday with helping my parents move their stuff to their new house” I called in my mind shaking my head as I sat back down on the bed waiting for Nina to be done. I'm sure she's going to love the surprise I had planned for her.
“ Michael” I turned to see Nina stepping out of the bathroom as she dried her hair with the towel in her hands.
“ Happy birthday, angel” I called to her running over to hug and kiss her. I've been waiting all morning for her to wake up so I could be the first to wish her a happy birthday. I, Shane, and the kids had bet on who would wish her the first birthday every year since the kids arrived and like all years, I had always won.
“ Thank you for reminding me that I'm getting older,” Nina snorted at me as she stepped away from my embrace, causing me to smile at her.
“ Darling, you are thirty-five, not fifty. Try being forty-two then you will know what getting older means” I told her, scolding her gently.
Ever since she clocked thirty, she had been more conscious of her skin and beauty. Always scared that I might leave her for those skinny models she sees on screen. And she wouldn't believe me when I tell her otherwise.
“ Tsk! You are just saying that because you are so in love with me” Nina told me rolling her eyes at me as she walked to the wardrobe to pick her dress.
“Where are the girls?” She asked me already, getting dressed while I watched her with a raging hard-on. I'm so tempted right now but I've promised myself not to ever put my desire before hers except she asked for it.
“ Oh My God! What do we have there?” Nina smiled as she pointed to the bulge in my pants while I ignored her.
“ Is someone getting aroused by watching me get dressed?” She asked me, causing me to roll my eyes at her. Isn't it obvious already? I'm always like this when it comes to her. I can't control myself.
“ They are having breakfast. Quick, we are waiting for you. There's somewhere I want us to go to spend your birthday” I told her already going out of the room, ignoring her question about my private organ.
“ I'm not celebrating my birthday, Michael” Nina screamed at me from the room while I ignored her. She's always saying that but I have never accepted it. Thank God I've asked Emma to pack her bags in advance, we just need to get to the hotel and everything will be sorted out.
