"Princess...are you seducing me?"

"...."

Alexander in his two piece black suit was standing a few meters from the bathroom. His hands, which were inside his pockets, were tightly clenched controlling his urge to bridge the distance between him and the alluring woman.

Thankfully, the only source of light was the one coming from the bathroom. The woman's frame can only be seen as a silhouette but he's sure that the woman is bare.

Natalia's mind became sober and wild when she heard his voice. She closed the door of the bathroom so that the darkness will cover her nakedness. She walked forward towards the spot where Alexander was standing.

"Well....were you?" Natalia purred as she stood dangerously close in front of the man.

Silence...

The two of them were just standing for few minutes trying to defy the great desire which is flowing in every fiber of their being. Their eyes had slowly adjusted from the darkness and Natalia saw that the man's jaw was clenching every now and then.

"Don't test me, Natalia." Alexander told the enticing woman as she grazed her small fingers over his chest. His eyes were watching her every little move and his nose was overwhelmed by her sweet fruity scent adding to the tension. This vixen doesn't seem to know how much he had been restraining himself every time they're together. But Alexander couldn't bring himself to stay away from Natalia. He once resolved that he needed her and will stay by her side.

Finally, Natalia turned and walked slowly towards her closet. She confidently wiped herself with a clean white towel not knowing that the man was already standing inches away from her.

Alexander took the towel from the woman and used it to wrapped her body in a very luscious way. His fingers lightly touched the top of her chest as he tucked in the corner of the soft linen, securing it in its place.

Natalia smirked and went towards the bedroom door. She switched on the lights and looked over Alexander signaling him to step outside.

'This woman will be the death of me.' He told himself shaking his head then went out of the bedroom.

"So many cars.."

"So many balloons.."

"So many people!"

The children at the institution were in awe at the great scene unwrapping before their eyes. It has been years since a large number of people had visited them. The venue hall was nicely decorated, the big open ground were adorned with big tents for various mini programs and the other half were used as a field for the kiddie games.

The Belle Shop and the Zimmer Company came together to extend their blessings to the less fortunate children. Their hearts were crushed with the children's stories as some employees talked to some of them to know the children better.

Later that day, a big feast was prepared for all the people at the orphanage and as well as for the people at the church.

"Thank you Natalia, Ms. Vene and Mr. Zimmer for your generosity and good hearts." Reverend Joseph uttered sincerely.

"Seeing the warm smiles on their faces were truly worth it all." Trish replied eyeing the children who were now eating heartily inside the venue hall. The program were almost down to its end. The children had played, laughed and danced with the visitors.

After having meals, two announcements were made.

"To end this wonderful day, I have here with me--- Ms. Trish, the president of The Belle Shop, and Mr. Jake, the president of Zimmer Company to say some words to all of us." Natalia stated in front of the crowd.

After hearing the announcements from the two companies, the childern were excited and delighted.

The Belle Shop gave a set of little trinkets to the girls and personalized wrist watches to the boys. The workers at the institution also received the same gifts in adult version. As for their last surprise, the company will grant five scholarships to those who will soon enter college.

In addition, the Zimmer Company would be installing additional routers and modems with wifi at each building for studies and entertainment purposes which will be funded by the company until needed. They also gave twenty laptop computers which will be situated at the newly filled library to assist the children in their future learnings.

All of the children shrieked with joy and gave their utmost gratitude.

"Princess! Handsome Uncle! Thank you very much!" Hannah uttered and hugged each person.

"Thank you too, Pretty Auntie!" She said to Trish. The lady smiled genuinely in return.

"Boy. You can smile?" Jake teased Trish which made the latter rolled her eyes.

"Always a pleasure little one. Happy birthday in advance!" Natalia said to the cute kid ignoring the other two adults who were with them. She gave Hannah two beautiful dresses which were customized to look princessy.

"Oh! Wow! I almost forgot tomorrow is my birthday. Thank you so much Princess!" Hannah told Natalia giggling.

"I wish Prince is here, too." The girl added.

"Prince?"

"Prince?"

The other two persons asked in unison.

"Yes, he's the one I'm telling you about Handsome Uncle." The girl just shrugged and to Natalia's relief, Hannah left the group to show her friends the early birthday presents.

Jake was puzzled and looked at his sister.

"It's a man that she saw and called him a prince." Natalia shortly explained not wanting to elaborate more.

After the successful event, Reverend Joseph expressed his appreciation again and again. When his words seemed to be exhausted, all of them went back to their respective homes.

"Wow. What a day." Jake uttered. Gratefully, he brought his driver with him. He can rest on the way to Zimmer estate.

"Yeah. Tiring but wonderful." Trish added. The trio were seated inside the same vehicle. All of them felt peaceful and fulfilled.

"What did you say??" Ariel asked in a surprised voice.

"I can't continue on doing it. You can seduce another man for all I care. The risk is too much." The man on the other line stated.

"You can't do this to me, Jude! You promised." The woman said closing her eyes in frustration.

The man abruptly ended the call. Ariel started to contact Jude but his number cannot be reached anymore.

Meanwhile, Devon and Euro Yushkova received the news that the officers of the Zimmer Company, who were supposed to be discharged, retracted their statements and wrote a sworn declaration to Jake Zimmer including the part about Jude Genome.

The father and son were worried about what had occurred between Jude Genome and Jake Zimmer. Did they talked about Jude's communications with the Yushkova family?

Euro was still pondering when Devon left and went towards his bedroom. He saw Ariel changing to her nightwear but stopped the woman.

He silently led her to the bathroom.

The woman saw Devon's expression. She sighed knowing it will be a tiring night for her.

"Mommy, don't follow me." A child's voice echoed. Natalia cannot see the person's face as the surrounding is filled with much brightness. She can only see a vague form of a small kid.

"Why can't I?"

"Because you're not really here." The kid continued to walk away.

"Wait---" She said. Her eyes were now hazy because of tears.

"Don't worry, Mommy. I'll wait a little longer there. We will see each other in the future." The child said running away. Natalia ran to reach for the little kid but it seems the gap between them became wider and wider.

"Angel..." Natalia woke up crying. It has been the same dream since a year ago. She knew it was her baby.

She stood up and searched something on her drawer. It was a small pair of white socks. Natalia kissed it and let her tears rolled down to commemorate the day she'd unknowingly miscarriaged.

She then went back to her bed and curled up. The socks were laid on her palm and she gently traced it with her other hand.

Natalia didn't noticed that someone had laid beside her and joined in staring at the little socks.

Alexander spooned her and held the woman tightly wanting to share her pain. After a while, the woman got up and returned the little clothe to its place.

Natalia went back to bed where the man was patiently waiting. She laid beside him facing his body.

"Stay..." The woman said sounding more like a request.

"I will.." Alexander reassured her and hugged her securely until she fell asleep.

Natalia woke up after few hours and felt a hard pillow. She lifted her head and saw a sleeping Alexander. His arm was the pillow she had been sleeping on and the other arm was clinging to her waist. She gently tried to separate herself but failed to do so.

"Give me more time with you." He mumbled in his sleep. Natalia stared at the adorable sleeping man. She kissed his nose and snuggled to his chest until sleep took over.

--------------

"Natalia?" Alexander woke up to an empty space beside him. He quickly get up and went to the kitchen but she's not there.

"Natalia!" He said her name louder as he saw the living room was empty, too.

"Hey..." The woman he's been looking for popped up behind him.

"Where---"

"Bathroom. You didn't look there?" Natalia smiled at him and embraced his tall form.

"Thank you Alexander." She added.

"Anything for you princess." The man replied sincerely.

Natalia prepared breakfast for both of them.

"So, how many babies do you want? This prince will definitely fulfilled his duties." Alexander casually asked while munching on his omelet.

Natalia, "...."
