My Father's wife

"So how long are we to wait before we hear them tinkle?" He asked with his eyes staring at the black sky,his hands in his pockets.

"Not too long, sister Jessica says only the heart hears them"

Nenye shut her eyes and stood still with her face upward while Michael watched her intently.

She opened her eyes to find him staring at her.

"You're supposed to be facing them and listening with your heart, else you won't hear " she cautioned

"I doubt I would if I tried. My heart is quite preoccupied with pumping blood at a quicker rate. " He moved closer to where she stood and reached out to her face.

She looked puzzled for an instant before her face relaxed.

"why's that?" She enquired surprised at how squeaky her voice had become.

He caressed her face gently ignoring the question she spouted.

"Are you certain that you're not a minor because I'm sure Christine would bury me alive if she found out I did what I'm about to do"

Nenye nodded softly affirming that she was indeed not a child.

"And what exactly are you going to do?" She enquired a bit breathless. She should have never taken a sip out of that glass. Her eyes fell on his lips and her lips parted softly.

Michael smiled before drawing her chin up.

"I am going to hear the stars tinkle"

Michael comes home after so many years only to find an intruder who poses a threat to his inheritance. He is determined to remove her from his and his father's life.

But all doesn't go his way as he realizes that some enemies can never be defeated, instead he sees himself falling deeper and deeper into her wicked charms.
