| went to bed, optimistic that we were heading somewhere with our investigations. My father did not know we were investigating my mother’s death, and | wanted to keep it secret for now because | did not know who to trust at the moment. One certain thing was that | would be visiting Neev sooner than expected. Paul being there was an excellent cover forbecause my father would not suspect | knew anything about his trip there with my mother.

| got to the bedroom, and Tia had already fallen asleep. As usual, she forgot to cover herself, and she had also taken off the joggers, so she was just wearing the sweater and her panties. Certain things never changed, and this was one of those things. | undressed, covered Tia with the blanket and snuggled into bed with her. | was about to spoon her when she turned towardsand placed her head on my chest, still sleeping. | smiled, looking at the ceiling and caressed her back. It was moments like this that maderealise | was truly blessed? | tried to empty my mind of our discussion and soon fell asleep.

| woke up to kisses. | was able to focus my vision, and | saw Tia smiling atin her underwear, wearing red lipstick. “Wake up, Alpha. Only lazy men stay in bed until twelve noon.” She teased me, and | sat up quickly. | saw the lipstick in her hand and looked at my chest. She had scribbled ‘Sleeping beauty’ on it. “You needed true loves’ kiss to wake you up,” she teased, and | pulled her back to bed, kissing her with my morning breath.

“Eww, Luke. Go and brush your teeth,” she complained, and I laughed. | got off the bed, and my cock was hard as usual. It was the typical morning hard-on. | moved toward the bathroom and noticed Tia wasn’t following me. | turned towards her and arched my eyebrow. “What?” She asked, pretending to be oblivious. “I have already showered,” and | looked down at my hard-on. “So, are we going to waste this?” | asked her, and she covered her face. | walked into the bathroom, leaving the door open so Tia could get a view while | brushed my teeth. The moment | finished brushing my teeth. She entered and huggedfrom behind, caressing my chest with her hands and feeling my abs while she moaned. She got the invite.

“You look so handsome, Sleeping beauty,” she said, and | flashed a grin in the mirror. She tilted her head to the side, away from my back, so she could see the mirror and smiled at me.

“Don’t be smug, Luke.” she teased, and | backed her into the shower.

I took off her underwear and turned on the shower.

“I guess | am allowed to kiss your lips now,” | said, caressing her lips with my thumb while the water rained on our skin. She moaned sweetly, and a breathy ‘yes’ escaped her lips. | captured her lips with mine and kissed her sweetly. She responded and let my tongue access her mouth; | parted her other lips with my finger and rubbed her clit gently. She moaned, encouragingto do more. | went on my knees, parted her legs and delved in with my tongue. She ran her fingers through my hair and grabbed it, moaning loudly. Her legs shook, and | tried to steady her with my hands. She cin no time, and | knew her pussy was ready for me. | stood up and went to work. Wrapping her legs aroundwith her back against the wall, | buried myself in her and pumped. It felt so damn good, and | had to fight myself from cumming too soon. 1 We finished the shower and dressed up. | was yet to tell her about our trip to Neev and Dome. | also wanted to spend the entire day with her.

“I finished going through Caleb's proposal this morning while you were sleeping, and his idea might work well.

He seemed quite passionate and knowledgeable about the application he is proposing. Most things are done online now. | think we should invest and bring it to life. Tech is the way forward now,” she said, and | nodded. | was going to give him the money to set up the company regardless, but | was glad Tia thought his idea was good. | will be happy if he succeeds.

“Tia, | will be travelling tomorrow with Mike and Caleb,” | said, and she paused and looked-at me. | knew it was sudden.

“To where?” she asked, and | knew she was thinking Santa Braee.

“Dand Neev,” | said, and she relaxed.

“Doctor said we should cin three months,” She said, and | shook my head.

“I am not going to visit Paul, but | will definitely stop by the hto check on him. | am going to visit a woman called Ummul. She served my mother when my parents went on vacation there. She also ingested the spoison my mother ingested but in small quantities. It rendered her paralysed and damaged her speech.” | said, and Tia went to sit down, shocked.

“Why didn’t your father tell you this, Luke?” She asked.

“That is why | do not want him to know | am going there to see this woman. He will automatically think | went to visit Paul. From there, we will go to Dto get Caleb's grandparents. Because Mike will be coming with Caleb and me, | said he could send Natasha here, so she won't be alone,” | added quickly, hoping I hadn't done anything wrong. “I won't be coming?” She asked, and | did not know what to say.

“I thought we were going to Dtogether?” She said, sounding a bit hurt. | went to sit beside her at the foot of the bed and held her.

“You are carrying our baby Tia, and this period is crucial. What if we have to fight to protect ourselves? These territories do not belong to my family even though we are in charge of the entire Island. | would not survive if anything happened to you and our baby, Tia. Please stay in the City for my sake. That way, | can focus and do what needs to be done without fear or worry, “I explained, and she sighed and nodded.

“I understand your position, but | do not want Tasha in my house. She can visit, but that is it. | need my privacy, and Kimberly is already here,” she complained. That was fine by me. “That is okay. | will think of something, and she will remain at home,” | said, and she sighed. “Is this why you are takingout?” She asked me, and | nodded. “Where are we going to,” she asked. “The park or the cliff?” | asked: While speaking to her, 1 linked Michelle to prepare snacks and drinks that we would use for a picnic.

“Easy choice, Luke. The Cliff. That is our sanctuary,” she said, and | kissed her, grateful that she didn’t givea hard time.

“How long will you be gone?” she asked.

“Five days?” | said uncertainly.

“Remember, your father is officially handing you the position next week. | can cover up for you and say you went to visit Paul, but he won't be happy if you don’t attend the ceremony. Not like it is necessary since your Key Mark is active, but | think he wants to do it for show.” She said | had forgotten entirely about the handover when we made our plans last night. “I guess we will be spending three days then,” | said, and she laughed.

Michelle finished preparing the snacks an hour and thirty minutes later, and we got ready to leave. Caleb and Kimberly were going at it in the room while Emma rested in Michelle's arms in the living room. | guess the two love birds were trying to make up for lost times.

“Tell my brother that | took my wife for a picnic when he comes out,” | told Michelle, and she smiled. | could imagine the image she had of the Moons right now. Tia and | were always at it, making a lot of noise without caring about our environment. Caleb and Kimberly were now doing the same.

The picnic went well, and we returned hearly forto pack for my trip. After packing, | called Mike to see if he was all set.

“We should be on our way at six in the morning. We will be taking the helicopter to Neev. | booked a nice place for us to stay, and they have a helipad. Ummul’s daughter, Miss Wahab will cand get us at the hotel. She seems a bit excited to see you. She was very specific that you come,” He said, and | was pleased he made the arrangements. Even though Woodclaw was an Island, | believed it was more like a continent because it was so big that we needed to fly to | could not wait to meet Ummul and her daughter too. | needed sanswers.

“We can only spend three days on this trip because of the handover,” | reminded him, and he laughed.

“I thought as much. It didn’t click until this evening when they announced the ceremony on the news. Everyone has been celebrating. They claim you are as strong as Leonard Moon, who was your bloodline’s strongest. Seven speculate you might be a reincarnation of him. In other words, people are happy about it,” he said, and | giggled. Tia and | needed to watch the news more often. It just doesn’t seem necessary when you call the shots and know what will happen.

“About Natasha coming... Tia will be going to the office.” | lied, and he interrupted me.

“I spoke to Tasha about it, and she wants to hang out with her folks instead. The wedding is the day after the handover,” He reminded me, and | sighed. | actually felt weird lying to the guy. It was a win-win situation for both of us. | did not know why Tia did not want Natasha to stay in our house, but she was the boss. | hung up and was about to call Caleb when a call cin from my father. | answered and greeted him. “Luke, what is this | hear about you taking the chopper to Neev? Have you forgotten the handover is in a few days from now?” He asked me, and | sighed. “I just want to check on Paul briefly,” I lied, and he sighed. “Are you going with your wife?” He asked. “No, she will be here,” | replied. “Good, It means you won't be staying long. Please be careful in Neev. The place isn’t as safe as they try to make it seem,” he said, and | knew why but since he never toldabout his experience, | decided to ask him why hoping he might open up a bit. “Why?” | asked him, and he sighed.

“Not everything should be discussed on the phone. | will tell you when | feel it is the right tbut just be careful. Do not go to restaurants or bars there. Is it true Caleb is coming with you?” he asked “Yes,” | replied. “What about Kimberly and Emma?” He asked, and | sighed. “They will be here with Tia,” | replied. “You are not helping that boy, Luke. You should push him to do the right thing and marry that girl,” He said, and | nodded. “We are working on it,” | told him, not wanting to go into details, and he was silent.

“Okay then, return quickly,” he said and hung up. | sighed and called Caleb. After discussing with Caleb, | put down the phone and cuddled with Tia in bed to watch a movie. | did not want to talk about anything serious. | just wanted to have a peaceful twith my wife so I could travel in an optimistic mood the next day. | dreaded what | would find on the trip.
