*****Very Important Please read****
I don't know why I'm losing followers even though I have been updating the books here. I was not gaining any new followers because you guys don't follow me, but the small amount of followers I have also started to unfollow me. It makes me very sad and angry at the same time. You guys don't appreciate my efforts. Even though my books are paid, I still post for free here. I feel so bad for myself for what you guys are doing. At least I'm not doing like another author who doesn't post for free and stops updating books in the middle, forcing readers to buy their books. Even after doing that, readers don't unfollow them. Instead, I have seen more people start to follow them. It feels like I'm making some kind of mistake by posting it for free because my work is not getting the same kind of appreciation I deserve. If it continues, I will stop updating the book and will never post new books here. It's better to do that instead of being disheartened every time I lose a follower. I'm sorry if this note offends you in any way but this is how I feel.
Sad.
Very sad.
Only if he knew he had come inside me a few minutes ago.
I pushed that dirty thought out of my mind. Erick told him that he got there when he was sleeping. He was waiting outside the room when he heard my voice. He told him a whole different story, and Dad didn't doubt it, and it made me happy. After that, I made him lie down on the bed again and covered him. Because of his medicine, it didn't take him long to fall asleep. Once he was sleeping, I kicked Erick out of the room. I have promised myself not to let him touch me for a whole week. I don't know how long I will be able to keep that promise to myself, but I will try my best.
He protested, not wanting to spend the night sitting on the waiting chair all night, but I left no choice to him. He had to give up in the end when I threatened him that I would stay at my father's place until he recovered his health. He immediately agreed, and it made me smirk. The threat works like magic every time I use it. He kept sulking the whole night in a waiting chair outside of the room while I slept on the sofa with a happy smile on my face. It was his punishment for making me do the things that we shouldn't be doing here in the first place. As Lily said, she came early in the morning even though I had told her to come at noon. She just can't stay away from my dad. My dad was lucky to have her. This morning, when I walked out of the room, I saw Erick sleeping in a weird position with his huge frame on a small chair.
"Did he sleep all night like this?" Lily asked, appearing from behind me. I took a deep breath while looking at him.
"Only after I kicked him out of the room. He was not letting me sleep," I told her in flow, and then I realised what I had said. My whole face flushed red, and Lily chuckled. I bit on my lower lip, flushing red.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I can understand you are newlywed. It's not even been two days since you got married. Don't be so hard on him. He loves you like crazy," she said while patting my back from behind before walking inside the room. My whole body froze for a few seconds when she said that last part. He loves me like crazy. Is it true? Did he marry me to take revenge on me and my dad for what happened in the past? My eyes are fixed on his sleeping face. Sometimes it's so easy to read him, and sometimes it's so difficult.
"What exactly is going on in your evil head?" I whispered under my breath while exhaling loudly. I walked towards him and then took a seat beside him. I put his head on my shoulder. He stirred a bit in his sleep, but he recognised my touch even in his sleep. He wrapped his arm around me, getting more comfortable in my touch. He was tired, so I let him sleep on my shoulder. I don't know when I doze off while resting my head on his. I heard a clicking sound from the camera, and it made me open my eyes slightly. I saw Sabrina standing in front of us with her cell phone. She was clicking our picture with a grin on her lips.
"What are you doing?" I asked little Horsley. My throat was dry after a sleep.
"Just taking a few pictures. You both look so cute," she said and clicked a few more pictures.
"Stop it, kiddo, and let me sleep," Erick mumbled while burying his face in my chest. His head was on my neck when I slept. When did it reach my chest? My eyes opened and brows furrowed. I looked down to find him comfortable sleeping on my chest. I exhaled deeply. Sabrina chuckled when he said that. I moved my eyes here.
"What are you doing here so early? Did you have half a day?" I asked while rubbing my eyes. She laughed when I said that.
"No, I didn't, and it's already noon," she said while still laughing. My eyes widened when she said that. I looked at my wristwatch, and she was telling the truth. It was already noon. I don't know how we managed to sleep till noon in this weird position and why Lily didn't wake us up.
"Sabrina, I told you not to distribute them." Lily appeared from behind her as if she heard my thoughts.
"Mom, see, they looked so cute," Sabrina said, and I took that time to push Erick away. He was sleeping on my breast. I know Lily must have seen it before, but I don't want to be more embarrassed.
"They do," Lily said with a big smile, and it made me flush even more.
"Why didn't you wake us up?" I asked her when Erick sat upright with a groan.
"You both looked so tired, so I didn't feel like disturbing you both," she said with a small smile. Erick stretched before standing up. We were late, so it was time for us to leave. I talked with Dad before leaving. Once we reached home, Erick changed into sweatpants and once again got in bed to sleep. I think he will work from home when he gets up. I took a bath and was thinking of going to the office, but he pulled me into bed, making me sleep with him. I was tired, so I gave in. I have messaged Evelyn about my father's condition, and she told me to take care of it and that she will handle everything at the office. I have still asked her to send me the new designs. Paris fashion week is approaching, and I can't slack off for now. I need to rest.
I guess I'm also going to work from home today.

Romance"Get out," I said in a firm voice, but it shook a bit at the end. The muscles in his jaw tensed when I said that. Instead of getting out, he closed the door and started taking calculative predatory steps toward me. His eyes moved all over my length...
