All Chapters of Sinful Pleasures: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Rye was ready. He planned to grab any opportunity that would place Gillian into his life so he came prepared. He had applied for a marriage license a month ago."When is the wedding?" Jamil barked at Rye."Tomorrow," he replied humbly."Too soon?" Genova reacted worriedly.

Neither of them signed a prenuptial agreement. Both Jamil and Jim thought of it but when they saw Rye and Gillian gazing lovingly to each other, no one mentioned it.They saw the love that burned between Rye and Gillian even though they didn't know yet.Jim remembered something buried deep in his memory. He was pensive when he came near Rye after the wedding.

"The baby's head already popped out!" Chedeng's nursing instinct went on rescue mode. She gave instructions to Sam and Ginny left and right.Rye did not feel relief upon seeing the trio. He was too worried. He remained by Gillian's side because of her tight grip on his hand.When the baby gave out its first shrill cry, Rye could not explain his feelings. He cried while grinning like crazy.

"I was thinking, Gillian," Rye announced the next morning."What is it?" Gillian asked curiously.They were walking side by side on the sands. They were holding hands while he cuddled Rhys in one arm. The baby was watching the seagulls flying above drowsily."I want to build a house

The next morning, they went to the property. Papa Jamil, Gillian, Rye, and Sam set out after breakfast. Rhys was with her big sister, Ginny. Genova and Tita Chedeng had business together."There! Please, hover around the property, John," Papa Jamil requested the pilot.Gillian asked the pilot to circle above the fisherman's shack twice.

Gillian had announced about the inheritance after dinner. She asked Rye to gather her parents and daughter in the library. They were seated closely in the comfortable armchairs."Serese left money to me... close to two hundred million."Both Genova and Ginny were shocked and speechless. Their eyes widened and their mouths opened but no words were uttered.

"The lock won't budge!" Rye was red and sweaty from trying to dislodge the antique padlock from different angles. It was sturdy and, well, magical.'What a wishful thinking!'There were many instances when the padlock would give in to his forceful chocks with the use of a crowbar. When he was sure he could take away the padlock with the use of his hand, the splintered wood would become 'healed!'

Alicia went to the guestroom, followed by her husband. They stayed here before and the room became theirs officially. Jamil was a generous host.The room was a suite. There was a sitting room and bedroom divided only by a bookcase and a large television that could swivel three-hundred-sixty degrees.The sitting room had a large couch and two foot stools.
