She kissed him softly as she pressed her body against him. He could feel her hardened nipple pressing against his chest and his cock swelled in anticipation.

He took control of the kiss and turned them so that she was pressed against the wall.

Azure took the hem of his shirt and pulled it over his head ignoring the pain that shot through her lower abdomen at the lift of her hand. The kiss was frantic and urgent however, once Grey took a chunk of her outfit in his hand ready to rip it apart, Azure pulled back.

"What happened? Why did you pull back? "

"Shhhhh." Azure pushed him back a bit and took her time sliding down while using his body to support her as she maintained eye contact with him. She loosened his belt and took off his pants and briefs.

Grey would only be able to describe what he was feeling as pure bliss. He wouldn't have ever believed Azure would ever go down on him but not just that, she seemed like a professional, it was like she went to college and studied 'the art of making a man nuts with your mouth' because that was exactly what she was doing.

The way she wrapped around him, the warmth, the feel of her hands against him as she stroked and sucked.

When he was close, he pulled her up before he would release. He had a rule not to get a release before his woman did.

He finally had his chance to tear out the number.

He lifted her off the ground and reflex made Azure to wrap her legs around his waist as he carried her to the bed.

Azure winced at the growing pain in her stomach when he started his kisses.

She figured it was some minor indigestion and wanted to ignore it. Grey had however, already noticed her sudden discomfort.

"Are you alright Azure. What's wrong? We can stop.... "

"I don't want to stop." She made a move to plant another kiss on Grey's lips but a quiet scream left her lips at the movement.

"Azure tell me, what's going on."

"I don't know, my stomach hurts." Azure coiled on the bed as whimpers continued to escape her.

"Shit, it's the 16th. It's the fucking time of the month, fucking cockblock, fucking menstrual cycle, fucking period, ever so fucking cramps." Grey continued to mutter cusses as he put back on his pants and went to get her hot water bottle.

She usually started having cramps three days before her period and those three days were usually very agonizing for her, compared to the minor cramps she had during her period. Grey, having done this several times, knew what medicines to get from the cabinet, the only soft drink she used to take her drugs, the most comfortable position to keep her on the bed, he knew it all, he knew how to make it bearable for her.

"I'm so stupid. I shouldn't have tried this today, I should have remembered that my cramps start today and I should have just left it till I was better, I don't like you taking cold showers especially now that the weather has become really cold." Azure whispered weakly as Grey carried her to the warm water in the bathtub he already filled.

"It's okay. It's not like tonight is the last night in the universe. All I want is for you to be alright, is there anything you want?" He let her stand, using himself as support as he added her favourite scented bubbles that helped her relax a great deal.

After some minutes, he brought her drugs and drink to the bathroom for her to take. She was already sleepy and so he carried her out of the bathtub and drained the water.

He wore her a pair of pyjamas and put the hot water bottle under the shirt, letting it rest on her bare stomach.

The medicine had a side effect of making a person drowsy and so it helped her sleep peacefully.

Grey of course took his cold shower and went to bed.

Two weeks passed and none of them brought up what happened that night, they just continued their regular routine of kisses and make out sessions, none going too far. The girls had been disappointed and Azure spent more and more time with them, letting herself soak in the dirtiness of their words and actions.

Azure was cleaning the office room that late noon when Grey quickly ran into the room asking her to quickly follow him to his car. She asked why over and over again but he told her to hurriedly get in the car, that she'd only understand if she saw it herself.

When they entered, she saw the flirty doctor looking stressed and her hair was out of place. On a normal day, Azure would leap in joy that work was depressing that woman, but she knew well that the only 'work' in quote would be her father. She had thought about him and she had decided that if her father got better, she would never remind him of what he put her through, that she'd just try to forget and love her father. She pictured them living together as a happy family.

"This morning, he wasn't coming out of the room, he asked to be left alone for a while and when we got back to him, we found him dead. He slit his own throat but before he did, he left a note." She handed over the note to Azure but seeing as Azure was in shock with watery eyes, Grey took the note.

"He was apologizing for the evil things he did to you. Apparently, someone went ahead and told him everything. We found who and his license has been revoked. I'm sorry or your loss Miss Pierce." The doctor left their presence without sparing them a glance back, she blamed everyone for the death of the man. People failed to understand that it wasn't his fault and he didn't deserve to die, she could mentally see Miss Pierce and Mr Corner rejoicing at his death.

"I know you're shocked but...."

"I was willing to let it all go. I was hoping that with time, all the hatred I felt for him will fade and I'll be able to see him as my father rather than my captor because no matter what happened, he still was my father. But now, he is gone. I wanted this then, but now..... " She quickly wiped the lone tear escaping her eyes. "You can read the letter, see if it helps with the investigation and then tear it up. I'm not going to read it. He was a coward, rather than apologize he preferred to take his life. That's his business, I don't care anymore. Let's just get out of here."

Grey didn't dare argue with her. He took her with him to his PI's house as he went to talk. He knew that she needed to be with him.

Not Roseline, not Talia, not anyone but him. He was well aware of how she was holding in all the newly found anger towards her father and how she was holding back on the tears she wanted to release.

"I could've come to you Nick, you didn't have to come to my house."

"There's no difference, just tell me what's the update and if there's anything I need to do."

"We have a great learning who the murderer is. The truth is that it's indeed a woman. We looked into the footage we received the other day and we were able to track down who was always going to that floor. It was indeed a staff but she goes by the name Zina Cora and not what Mr Pierce was used to.

We have arrested her and are currently trying to get some information from her. She lawyered up and refused to give us any information saying that she just happened to be going upstairs at that time. It could've been anyone."

"So, we can't do anything to her. If she is the killer's accomplice then she's not going to be that easy to take down."

"We looked into her phone call records, emails and card transactions. I really didn't expect to find anything there, I suspect that she uses an untraceable phone for her calls. Then again, she is a head doctor and she deals with manipulating people's minds as treatment and so it's allowed for her to purchase such drugs. The problem is that she doesn't seem that rich, the hospital is backing her up to say that they financed the drugs. It's all in a circle but I'm sure we'll find something sooner or later."

The two of them left after talking some more. Azure was quiet the entire time during the ride until she finally decided to let off what was on her mind.

"Did you ever try to find your real parents." Shock filled Grey's head causing him to stop the car abruptly making them jerk forward a bit.

"What do you mean real parents. I have just a pair of parents and you know them."

"Okay, have you ever tried finding the man and woman who brought you to this world? I know you would've, you're one who likes investigating a lot."

"I found them. Eight years back I was curious and I was already a billionaire. I wanted to spite them. I found out who they were and where they lived, they were drug addicts and had kids roaming everywhere. The kids looked like they were going to die any moment from then and I haven't told you this before but I run orphanage homes. I took all of them when they were out and sent them to one far from New York and under special care, those people are what you call a disgrace and I haven't bothered to look for them since then. The kids, who are my siblings apparently, are happy. I'm happy and no one needs those despicable people. I go to see them when I travel on business trips and I buy them a lot of presents and toys. They're always so happy. It's as if they're just glad to be out of that house with those fools."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

"It's fine. I was going to tell you anyways, I probable just forgot."

"Why didn't you bring your siblings to stay with you? I'm sure Talia's parents wouldn't mind. Then again, you were already the one taking care of the home by then."

"I was afraid. I thought I wasn't ready to be a parent to them or even a sibling to them. I felt like rather than a brother, they needed a friend."

"Did you ever wish that they'd been better parents to the kids after you? So that you could start a life with your biological parents without much resent to them?"

"No way. Do you have any idea where Talia's parents found me? They were a sweet couple doing their chores together and they went out to throw away their bags of dirt, I was in the container filled with rubbish. They literally threw me away, every fucking pun intended, and left me to die. People like that don't deserve second chances. I wanted to ruin them, but fate already did the job for me." shock filled Azure.

"My goodness, what kind of parent does that." Azure saw Grey in a totally different light. Someone who rose from the garbage can to a multi billionaire and with a soft spot for kids. "I'd like to visit the orphanage some time if you don't mind."

"No, not at all." Grey suddenly remembered that he forgot to give her the phone he got for her.

"Here. It's a phone, you can use it to call me if you're ever in danger or if you need to tell me something. I have my number as well as the others and our parents saved in it. My PI, Lawyer, Chef, Cook, everyone important. Just in case for some reasons, I'm not around." he pulled it from the back seat.

"Oh my gosh! It's the latest iPhone. Talia has been bragging about hers and now I have mine as well. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you so fucking much."

She threw her arms around his neck and pulled him down for a deep kiss. The kiss took away all the sorrow they were feeling, all the pain of being abandoned by parents who should love and care for them. At that moment, they became their everything, mother, father, sibling, lover, friend, everything needed.

"What the fuck! What are you losers doing here?" Grey yelled the moment he came face to face with the couple by his door.

Azure didn't need any confirmation, the grey eyes she loved so much were on the man's face and the resemblance was too much.

However, she was proved right when they spoke.

"Now son, that's no way to talk to your father."

Grey was ready to throw a punch at the man's face but Azure stepped in front of him, ready to defend what was hers.

"Look here Mr. Man, we have been through a lot today and we aren't in the mood for more drama. It would be safe for you and I if you just get out now."

"I will get out. But you have to understand that we won't be the ones to hit rock bottom first, it's only a matter of time before you'll see your dear boyfriend locked up behind bars for life. Good bye for now." The man took his wife and left there without further need to exchange words.
