A few months had passed and we were settling into being new parent while married. I had taken over finances for us and it was hard to keep us I must admit. Seeing all that my wife did made my head spin. She was awesome and had to have unknown super powers to get all this done daily.

I was completing taxes as I sat in an office I had added to her home. Since I love it and the location, we agreed we stay here instead of moving. I recommend some renovations and added room. To my surprise she agreed also on them. It was almost as if, if I wanted it, she approved of me having it.

I phoned a zoom meeting with Dave. He talked me through filling the taxes for the firm and a charity she had set up for at risk youth. She did so much for the kids in our community. I was unaware until we got married. I get bad for taking up so much of her attention, when I realized she had a hand in a lot of different things.

After taxes were filed and I paid the hefty fines for filing late, I looked at my bank statements. I immediately felt stressed beyond what I could take. $5,642 was all I had in my account. I still had to pay our bills which were over 10k. How am I going to make this work.

I selfishly opened a club shortly after we got married. Everything was going fine until I couldn't DJ. I had to spend the last month of her pregnancy by her side. Our son has taken a toll on her body. She was deathly ill the last week. I saw the relief, instantly, as she completed the birthing process.

I phoned Dave and asked for advice.

Dave: Sure I can help you there. You were supposed to meet with me to talk combining finances the week after your honeymoon. I haven't told her that you never made it.

M: I don't want to involve her if I don't have to. I want to alleviate stress, not add it.

Dave: Well I suggest you come to see me soon then. I've looked over everything and your account doesn't have enough to cover a tenth of you guys expenses.

M: What do you mean a tenth?

Dave: I will be here until 5. I'm willing to stay as late as 7 for you, but only today.

I agreed to meet with him. I phoned her girls to come and keep her company while I was out. They were excited I called. Once they arrived, I headed to meet with Dave. It was 4:45. The drive to him would put me arriving around 5:30.

I pulled up to the building and parallel parked my car outside the front door. Not many people were parked there at this time of the day. I hopped out and I made my way to the door. Dave let me in and switched the sign to close, locking the door behind me.

D: How you doing Mr browner? Can I get you anything to drink?

M: No thank you. So tell me what I can do to get everything back in order

D: Straight to business just like your wife. First off, the meeting you should've attended with me was very important and I knew you would come to see me. I didn't expect it to take months. However, her father's parents left her money in their last will and testament.

M: She doesn't know about this?

D: No, you were supposed to tell her about it and then you both would've came to see me again. Anyways, they left her 250 million dollars and other viable assets.

M: 250 m-million?

D: Yes. She was their only biological grand child and they left her everything. They owned businesses that are still thriving today, stocks, bonds, you name it she probably has it.

When you asked her to sign the prenup before you got married this dropped me from merging everything naturally for you. She had already asked me to combine everything. I know you have your reasons and I'm not against them. She loves you for you, and that's why I asked her to send you to me as soon as she could. Then life happened and I didn't want to slow the momentum for you guys. I need to discuss with you what your prenup prevents. As long as you two are married you have access to everything. However, should you separate or divorce, everything comes to a halt for you; especially if she gives the command.

M: So, I basically screwed myself with the prenup is what you're saying? I don't plan on leaving her so that cancel out there later part.

D: Not necessarily. You see, all she has to do is give verbal authorization and I cut off your access. So yes, your prenup screwed you. I had to tell you this and have you sign that you were informed, as condition per your prenup agreement. See your agreement states if you divorce, everything you both came with is what you'll leave with pending usage. In a nutshell.

M:I understand.

D: Once you sign here, I will activate your debit card, giving you access to your joint bank account. In the account you'll find the 250 million dollars have been deposited and grown interest over the years. The account was opened shortly after her birth, so 32 years worth of interest, untouched. Also, like yourself she is keeping a personal account but has also deposited half of her monetary assets into the joint account. I'm a stand in proxy for you both and any questions or concerns with the account, as your legal counsel I will reconcile.

Sign both highlighted lines and we can continue.

M: So my wife is heiress to businesses you said?

I signed the paperwork after carefully reading all the words and asking my questions. He explained everything again and broke it down for me.

D: Yes sir. She is heiress to several companies and international corporations. She handled all of this on her own before you. I took over to give you two time to enjoy being married. Whenever either of you are ready, I'm willing to walk you through all that needs to be taken care of daily. Amryl is aware of the entities and their needs. She sits with the accountant once a week to go over the numbers. She however, is not aware of the money or the rest of the things left to her. I have been keeping in contact with her about all I feel she needs to know at this time. I don't want to overwhelm her. I know having a baby is a big change in any home.

M: So how long do I have to wait to use this debit card? I need to take care of our utilities at the house. I would love to plan a get away for us as well. I was thinking I didn't have enough to do it, but I was still going to try. If I had come to see you sooner, there's so much more I could've done right away. I'm sorry for delaying

D: That's okay. I'm glad you're here now. You're able to use the card now. If you'll hand me your phone I can let IT add the app you'll need. This will help you see all the accounts you and your wife share jointly. Also, the business accounts. Once everything has uploaded, you will be able to shoot me a message quickly and we can work together to get matters resolved. If there's nothing else, I believe that wraps up everything on my end for you.

M: Thank you again.

I got up to leave and noticed things were being added to my phone without either of us doing anything. Dave told me IT now had access to my phone. This would help them see what I was looking at. Also, they could add things and keep my phone updated for me. I looked at my messages and noticed I have 12 missed texts and 22 phone calls. I noticed my ringer was off. I looked at the call log to see Amryl had been trying to call me. I glanced at the time. It was almost 9 o'clock. I know she was worried!

Amryl

I have been trying to call Omir for hours and was unable to reach him. Just as I was about to dial the police commissioner, my phone rang.

M: Hello

O: Hey baby, sorry I worried you. I've been at the office with Dave. We were clearing up some things and I lost track of time working. Forgive me, I'm on my way home now. Do you need anything?

M: Omir, it's so good to hear your voice. I was really worried. I was about to call in a favor to try and locate you. No sweetheart I don't need anything, just you. I miss you.

O: I'll be there shortly.

I hung up the phone with Omir. I was okay now that I knew he was okay. I called to let everyone I called looking for him that he was okay and I had spoken with him. Esjaye was sleeping already. I put him down about an hour ago. He was pretty good about sleeping through the night. I turned the baby monitor on and brought the receiver from my room into our bathroom as I readied for a shower.

I removed my clothes and climbed in. The warm water felt amazing on my body. This was my favorite part of the night, showering. I showered more since I was breastfeeding. I didn't want our baby to ingest any germs on my behalf. I got out the shower 20 mins later. I dried my hair and finger combed through it. Being a new mom, I would let it air dry. Omir loves when my hair is down, so I have grown to like it in it's natural form.

By the time I was putting on my clothes and pulling the covers back on our bed, I heard Omir come in. He smiled at me as he entered our room.

O: I peeked in on our little king. He's resting peacefully. You didn't have to wait on me baby. I'm sorry I kept you up.

M: I just got done showering. I'm so happy to see you. I don't know why, but I missed you more than I think I should.

O: I missed you too!

M: How did things go with Dave?

O: We can talk about those in the morning. Let me shower and I'll come lay next to you.

He got in the shower. I plugged his phone in to charge. If I didn't, he would wake to a dead phone. He came out of the bathroom in the towel as I was climbing into the bed.

M: Ooh

O: Like what you see?

M: Yessssss

He joined me in the bed, not fully dried off. He pulled me across the bed, climbing in between my legs. He started kissing me softly. It was then I thought about how we haven't really had intimate time. He hadn't pushed and I hadn't paid attention that our s*x life was nonexistence for the past 4 months. I'd been cleared by the doctor on my 6 week check up.

I brought my focus back to his kisses. He ran his fingers down my cheek. My body responded to his gentle touches. He removed my pajama shorts and top. I reached down to grab his towel, pulling it off.

O: You sure baby? I know it's been awhile

M: I'm sorry I made you wait so long. Have your way with me

I said seductively. He gave me a smirk. He was kneeling on the bed. He pulled my legs, pulling my body to him.

O: You look so amazing. I can't even tell you were carrying my child 4 months ago.

I blushed at his words. He was looking over my naked body. He looked like he was taking mental pictures. He ran his hands up my legs stopping when he got to my hips. He was definitely teasing me. He kissed my neck and used his hands to pull my legs further apart. I started to moan lightly. He smiled into my neck. He was taking his time with me.

He asked me if I was taking birth control. I told him no. He got up and retrieved condoms from his nightstand. He pulled one on and came back to his position on top of me. He kissed me passionately. He told me how he wanted me, but he wanted to enjoy every minute. While I was letting his kisses take me away, he entered me with one swift motion. I moaned at the pleasure I was now feeling. He started slow, but then sped up.

M: "O-omir"

O: I missed this

I tried to tell him I was sorry again, but I couldn't get the words out. He continued his assault on my body. Every part of me was electrified. I moaned as I felt myself ready to release. "Not yet baby" he said. "I can't hold it." "Hold it baby" He stroked faster and more deeply. I could feel my body fluids leaking onto our bedding as he continued. I felt him enlarging inside of me. I screamed his name and he still pumped faster inside of me. It seem like he was going to keep going forever. He pumped and pumped. I found my release as he found his.

"Ommmmmiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr"

"Yes ma'am. Daddy likes to hear that."

He stayed inside of me as we calmed ourselves. He gave me short, soft kisses. He slowly pulled out of me and got up and went to the bathroom. I heard the toilet flush. He brought the baby monitor back with him. We both looked at our little man sleeping in his bed, before he sat it back on his nightstand.

He pulled the bedding off the bed and discarded it into the floor. He went to the closet and got a replacement. I usually like to lie nakedly in the bed afterwards, so he covered me and got in bed. He slid to the middle and pulled me over to him. My back against his chest, he kissed my neck, and I found my eyes closing. "Good night" I lastly heard him say, before drifting off.

Omir

She was pulling the covers back onto the bed as I came into the room. "You didn't have to wait on me." She told me how she had just finished in the bathroom after her shower. I quickly got in the shower and joined her back in the room. I teased her for a little bit then I made love to her. When we finished, I discarded the condom in the toilet, then I pulled the soiled bedding off the bed. I found a replacement in the closet. I got in bed and pulled her close to me. I gave her a kiss on the neck and said good night. She was falling asleep as I said these words.

I lie awake holding her for hours. I couldn't sleep for thinking about all Dave and I had discussed about her inheriting 250 million dollars from her grandparents. Buildings, businesses, and other assets. How could she not know about any of this? I roll over and look at the monitor. I see Esjaye resting and I smile at my babies sleeping so peacefully. I noticed she plugged my phone up for me. She always plugged it in for me. I unplug it and pull up our banking app. I open it to see we have a balance over one billion dollars. I think the shock rendered me unconscious.

I awoke the next morning to her coming out of the bathroom. I hadn't felt her get up.

A: Hey handsome, good morning

M: Hey baby, what you doing up? I didn't do a good job if you're up before me

A: I enjoyed last night. I'm sorry I ignored your needs. I won't do it again and don't you let me.

M: I hear you. I wasn't thinking about that. I knew when you were ready we would

A: Want some breakfast?

M: You cooked already?

A: Not yet, I'm about to head down now

Amryl POV

I came downstairs and started preparing breakfast for us. I went ahead and pumped a bottle while I worked. 20 minutes later, Omir came down the stairs with Esjaye. He brought the baby swing in the kitchen with us and placed him in it. He watched us move all around the kitchen. We sat at the table eating, then Omir asked me about my grandparents.

O: Did you know your grandparents had a will?

M: Which grandparents? Either way no

O: Your father's parents? I went and spoke with Dave yesterday and we were going over things and he informed me about the will and what they had left you. The prenup tied his hands with merging all our accounts and he helped me understands some things.

M: I didn't know anything about a will. My dad never mentioned it. Wait, why are you just now discussing our accounts? We've been married over a year now.

O: So...to be honest I didn't go to the meeting you scheduled for me. I forgot. I'm sorry

M: Okay.

O: I really am sorry. I found out so much last night. They left you 250 million dollars.

She didn't even flinch when I told her this. She kept eating and checking on Esjaye.

M: That was nice of them. I only knew about the businesses I inherited from them, as they would need upkeep to continue running. I knew nothing about a will or money.

O: Apparently, when you and I got married this opened the money up to you. Because of the prenup I put in place, it blocked me from having access to the funds should we go our separate ways. I explained to Dave I don't plan on going anywhere.

M: So, you are just now getting the bank debit card? I mean I don't look at the statements every month, but if I did I would've saw that you didn't have your card. Dave looks them over, he and the accountant, for errors.

O: So you're not shocked about becoming a millionaire?

M: I was a millionaire before the inheritance

O: What? That explains why our account has over a billion dollars in it

M: Yes, I see the light bulb went off. I don't worry about money. I'm very smart with spending. I don't buy what I don't need.

O: The money your grandparents put aside grew interest, but I wasn't thinking enough to gain billionaire status.

M: I tried to mention my finance when we sat down and went over the prenup. I signed it to give you that clarity.

O: I used the money from my account the past year to pay for all of our expenses. If I had went to the meeting I would have gotten this information already. I was letting the stress of my shrinking account get to me. All because I didn't want to worry you.

M: I see. I made my first million dollars as a 17 year old. I didn't have anyone or anything to spend it on. I saved my money. Made renovations whenever a male figure in my life was available to proxy. The firm rakes in millions of dollars annually. I assume Dave is still doing the taxes on that?

O: Yes I only handled ours, the charity and the club. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this.

M: Take your time. We're good on finances though, I should've checked that you got the debit card for our joint account. Spend what you need to. Like I told you when I signed the prenup, I'll still share everything of mine with you as long as we're married.

O: That's what Dave explained. Basically, if you decide you don't want to share with me any longer, verbal authorization will stop it all.

M: I shouldn't have to stop joint accounts with you. I will tell you there's stipulations in place. If you try to spend a million dollars or more it will requires both our authorization. Otherwise, like I said, spend what you need to. I trust you

I saw the worry leave his face. I don't know what he expected me to say. I already had billions of dollars by the time we got married. My grandparents leaving me millions, just added to what I already had. I knew this would be difficult. I am glad we are talking about it and he isn't freaking out. We'll see how he handles being in a new tax bracket.
