41 Drawing The Line Luke.

Making love to Tia felt better each time. It was no joke, but my body craved hers all the time. I had tohave her that morning, and I did. I noticed she wasn’t so vocal in bed, so I decided I would try to makeher speak up more so she could enjoy it just as much as I was enjoying it. Breakfast was great and,above all, peaceful. There was no Stacy to get on everyone’s nerves or Caleb sulking and staring at mywife obsessively, Monica trying to flirt with me,

or my father bringing up unnecessary unrelated ¿ topics to talk about. The height of it was when he

decided to discuss our first heat on the table. It was private to Tia and me, and he had made it a publicaffair and even tried to bring up my mother. The man had no limits or shame.

This was our first morning in the house, and Tia looked overwhelmed with happiness. Caleb had calledme to inform me that Gabriel was in the warehouse for questioning, and I was eager to learn everythingabout him. I wanted to know who planned on killing me badly. While we ate breakfast, a call came fromthe hospital, and I cringed.

“Good morning Alpha Moon,” The doctor said, and I looked at Tia. I had the urge to excuse myself, so Icould speak to the doctor, but I had promised that I would not keep secrets, so I stayed.

“Good morning Doctor Green,” I said, and Tia looked at me with a knowing look. “We need you to signsome documents, and I also want to discuss some things about Miss Barnes. I promise it won’t takemuch of your time.” He said, and I looked at my wife. “Okay,” I said and hung up.

“What is the matter?” Tià asked me.

“They want me to come and sign some documents, and the doctor wants to discuss some things withme,” I said, and she rolled her eyes. “Don’t they know we are on ‘vacation’?” she said, making the quotes

sign with her fingers, and I laughed. “I guess we have to make a stop at the hospital then,” Tia said, and Inodded reluctantly. I honestly did not want to see Elisabeth.

We finished our breakfast and headed out. Jacob and Michelle were in the house, so there was no needfor us to lock up. I let them know we might return late, so they don’t worry. “While I drove, I placed myright hand on Tia’s thighs and squeezed. I knew this Elisabeth thing was taking a toll on her even thoughshe hid it. She looked at me and smiled.

“We will get through this, Luke,” she said assuringly, and I was glad for her optimism; I needed it.

I drove quickly to the hospital and parked the car. I held on to Tia’s hands so she would not lag behind!

like last time and walked quickly into the clinic. Not having time to waste, 1 headed straight for thedoctor’s office. Doctor Benjamin Green was surprised to see me with Tia, but he controlled himself.

“Alpha Moon. Good afternoon,” He greeted me, and I replied.

“Good afternoon Luna Tia,” He said to Tia, and she smiled at him.

“Alpha Moon,” he said, handing me sorne documents to sign.

“What are these?” I asked, and he looked at Tia and then looked at me.

“It is okay; you can tell me anything you want to say in the presence of my wife,” I told him, and hesighed.

“We believe your mistress might….” he said, and I cut him short.

“Elisabeth is not my mistress, doctor. I know the nonsense going around, but I have no dealings with her.She got pregnant as a result of our break up sex. I haven’t touched her since,” I stated because I knewthe news had gone round that I had a pregnant mistress. I wouldn’t put it past Stacy or Elisabeth herself;

I intended to correct the misconception at every given opportunity. He cleared his throat and apologised.“Miss Barnes has been inducing her symptoms which might be harmful to the baby.” He said, and I

already knew that. Then he looked at Tia.

So, what is the way forward?” I asked him, and he sighed.

“She needs to be watched to ensure she doesn’t continue seeking attention this way. Also, She needs toundergo psychiatric evaluation. That is why I needed you to sign the consent form.” He said, and Inodded and signed it.

DEL

“Will that be all?” I asked, getting ready to leave.

“If you can help talk to her so she can eat, it will help. She can’t receive treatment without eating food,and she has refused to eat since you left yesterday. It is very harmful to the baby.” The doctor said, and Icouldn’t care less at this point. This whole baby blackmail thing was getting to me now. I was done withthis woman. We had said our goodbyes, and clearly, she has moved on, so why is she doing this to me?“No,” I told the doctor and stood up. “I have signed the document and given you the go-ahead, but I donot want to have any dealings with that bitch. If she wants to starve herself to death, so be it. It wouldmean fewer problems for my wife and me. Let her know that if she starves herself to death, she will bedoing Tia and me a huge favour,” I said and got up, The doctor was shocked, but I knew I had to drawthe line. If not, she would continue doing things to gain my attention, and Tia can only take so much. Icould not subject my wife to constant emotional abuse like this. This was it; I was done. If she everinduces any symptoms again, she will be on her own.

“I am on vacation, doctor. Refrain from calling me, please. If papers need signing, my butler Bart canattend to the documents in my stead. Am I clear?” I said, and the doctor nodded and stood up. Tia didthe same, and we walked out of the office and out of the hospital. I had drawn a line, and it felt damngood.

We entered the car and headed toward the warehouse.

“Are you sure about this? You know Elisabeth can be daring,” Tia said, and I nodded.

“I am sure she will be okay. Look at Kimberly. Caleb doesn’t spare her one look. They sleep in separaterooms, and she goes for her antenatal alone. He is obsessed with you and has shown it, yet she hasdone nothing to lash out. How often has Caleb had to rush to the hospital to be beside her? Yet this bitchwon’t let me rest. I have done everything. I pay money to her account weekly. I kept her rent and paid herbills even after we broke up. I offered to give her money to start a business then she did this to me. Whatmore does she want? Once I replace the unfortunate man she is screwing, she will be out of the moonmansion and out of my life.” I said. I was irate; I felt my mark burning. I had had enough of that bitch.Soon Tia’s phone began to

ring.

“Who is it?” I asked my wife, trying to calm down.

“Unknown number,” she said and answered it. “What. What is your problem? …. You need help,

Elsabeth,” I heard her say. I did not bother to care what the bitch was saying at the other end. I used myright hand to take the phone from Tia and hung up.

“Do not communicate with her again. Block her line. I will ask Bart to deal with her henceforth. We havetried. She is impossible, and the doctor might be on to something when he said she might have some

mental issues.” I told Tia, and she was silent. I wondered what Elisabeth might have said to her on thephone.

‘Don’t let her words get to you, Tia,” I said to my wife gently. “I am okay, Luke. It is just disturbing howshe can be this way.” Tia said I did not say anything else because I wanted the conversation about Lisato end. Now that I had drawn the line, she would get the message. All this while I had softened towardsher because of the baby. I did not want anything happening to my child, but it isn’t my fault that Elisabethis a psycho.

I parked at the warehouse, and the moment I turned off the car, Tia drew me in for a kiss. It was hungryand determined, and one thing led to the other. Before I knew it, she was riding me. I needed it. I neededher because I was seething with anger at that moment. It would have been in the wrong state of mind toquestion Gabriel. I filled my senses yp with Tia’s scent and calmed down. The release brought me morecalmness, and I realised that Tia might get sore soon at this rate. Wearing the dress

was a good idea. We both left the car feeling optimistic and refreshed. Elisabeth’s matter was longforgotten, and I looked forward to replaceing out who was trying to kill me.

We both entered the warehouse, and the guys there

greeted me with the utmost respect. I walked to Caleb and shook him.

“Awesome job, Caleb,” I said, and he nodded and gave me a brotherly hug.

“Tia,” Caleb said, waving at Tia, and she responded. There was always an awkwardness between thetwo, but today was different. It was as if Caleb was beginning to accept the situation.

“So how do we begin,” Caleb asked, removing the blindfolds from Gabriel’s eyes. Caleb had done anumber on him, and I knew it was because Tia had almost lost her life during the attack. Things peopledid for love.

I walked up to the guy and punched him in the stomach.

“That is for my wife,” I said and sent another punch to his stomach. “And that is for me.” The guycoughed out blood, and his plain was pleasing to see.

“Tia, kindly do us the honours,” I asked my wife, and she beamed at me. Ready and willing to questionGabriel. We all wanted answers.
