Chapter: Together forever ONE YEAR LATERAllison's POV “Dinner is ready,” I announced, bringing out the tray of rotisserie chicken from the oven. “Leo and Aiden, are you done setting the table?”“Yes, baby.”“Yes, mummy.” Father and son replied in unison, as they entered the kitchen.After our wedding, Leo bought a mansion in Canada, and it was there that our little family lived now.He had told me that he decided to make Canada his permanent place of residence because of me. Mu close friends were here, and he didn't want me to be apart from them.Plus, my winery was also here. About a year ago, I finally reisgned from Leo's company and took over running the winery.So far, the experience had been quite exciting and rewarding, albeit challenging sometimes.“Hmm,” Leo closed his eyes and nodded in approval. “It smells so nice in here, my love.”“I eventually made the rotisserie chicken,” I replied, to which Aiden cheered. “with fried rice.”“And I bet it's gonna taste nicer than anything,” Leo said, walking up

Chapter: Honeymoon and a gift Allison's POV “Where are you taking me?” I asked, cuffing my hands around Leo's wrist, as he led me out of the house, with his hands placed on my eyes, obstructing my vision.“It's a surprise, baby.” He said, and I could almost see him grinning mischievously.Three days had passed since our wedding, and in another three days, we were going to leave the country for our honeymoon in Greece.“Here we are,” Leo said, taking his hands off my eyes. “Have a look.”A gasp forced itself out of my throat when I saw a new black Mercedes Benz parked in the driveway, with a white bow taped to the trunk and the headlights.“How do you like it, my love? Is it to your taste?” Leo asked, as I gazed at the car in surprise.“It's perfect,” I whispered, shaking my head in happy disbelief. “I love it.”“I'm glad to hear that, honey,” Leo said, hooking an arm around my waist. “You love the color, right? Or would you like me to get someone to paint it to your desired colour?”“No, I love it like this,” I b

Chapter: Wedding ceremony Leo's POV “You have a message,” Liam announced, gesturing to the gift bag he was holding, as he entered the room.Today was D-day. After many years of challenges, trials, and tribulations, Allison was finally going to be my wife just like I had always wanted.I had to pinch myself thrice when I woke up that morning, in order to be sure that I wasn't dreaming and today was really happening.“From who?” I asked, as he handed me the bag.“Allison.”My face softened with a wide grin as I retracted a burgundy velvet box from the bag.“I wonder what this is,” I muttered to myself, as I flipped the box open.My grin widened, to the point where my eyes creased when I saw the contents of the box; it consisted of a golden wristwatch, a pair of golden cufflinks to match with a golden pen.On the three items, my initials–LDS–was intricately inscribed on it.I couldn't help but feel warm and touched by her thoughtful, sentimental gifts, so I decided to forgo my initial choice of cufflinks and wri

Chapter: Wedding Allison's POV“And I'm done,” Ophelia announced, after giving my face a final dab with the beauty blender. “You look ravishing, Allie.”Clasping my hands together to tame my nervous excitement, I breathed out. “So can I open my eyes now?”“Yes, most definitely.”Inhaling sharply, I flapped my eyes open and gasped on seeing my beautiful reflection in the mirror.Ophelia had hearkened my choice and instructions to the very least detail and had done a great job with both my face and hair.My makeup was a natural, dewy look that accentuated and drew more attention to my facial features rather than having a huge slab of foundation pasted on my face while my hair was tossed in a sleek, french bun with a diamond brooch inserted beside it.I looked like a princess who had just stepped out of a fairytale book, and I could barely hide my excitement as I assessed my face, a huge smile plastered to my face.“I look gorgeous,” I said. “You did a wonderful job, Lia, and I don't know if I'm ever gon

Chapter: Bridal shower Allison's POV As I stepped out of the bathroom after taking a refreshing shower, my phone pinged with an incoming call.On seeing that it was Tasha calling, I smiled before answering the call and pressing the phone to my ear.“Babe, you have to come to the balcony right now,” Tasha started with a tone of urgency. “Something happened.”My heart did a back flip as goosebumps instantly crowded my entire body. “What happened? Is Aiden okay?”“Just come quickly, alright? We are waiting for you.” She said, before hanging up.Swallowing harshly, I flung my phone on the bed before making my way to the closet to grab a casual outfit, while hoping everyone was alright.Fuck, I genuinely hoped nothing bad had happened on the eve of my wedding.That would be a sign of bad luck and I didn't want that. I just wanted to have my happily ever after with Leo, Aiden, and possibly our future children.We were currently lodged in a hotel in Las Vegas, as that was the destination of our wedding.Leo, his

Chapter: SexcapadeLeo's POV “Stop it, can't you see that Aiden is here?” Allison scolded me, as I slotted my hand beneath her shirt to cup her breasts.The three of us were sitting on a sofabed in the private sitting room of my beach house in Turkey. Three days had passed since I proposed to Allison and we officially became a soon-to-be married couple.The rest of our family were currently at the other side of the beach house. I had designed the building of the beach house in such a way that my little family and I could have our own private time whenever we wanted, without any disturbance.“But his attention is fixated on Mickey mouse. He can't see us.” I argued, sliding my hand in between her legs which earned me a smack on the shoulder followed by a glare.As I made to defend myself yet again, my phone vibrated with a message.Reading through the text message which was sent by my mum, I smiled. “Mum and Dad are going for a walk downtown and they want to take Aiden with them.”“A walk with grandma an

Chapter: Birth Jocelyn’s POV “I’m seeing someone,” Ivy uttered, as she took her seat beside me, a simmering cup of ginger tea in her hold. “He's also a doctor. He was recently transferred here from Norway.”“Finally,” I squeaked, clapping my hands together in excitement.“I have to get over Brian somehow, don't I?” She shrugged then took a sip of tea.“Hold on, you are using the new guy as a rebound?” I asked. “Really, Ivy?”“Don't judge me,” Ivy sighed, throwing her hands in surrender. “In all honesty, he's not a rebound because I kind of like him too. He's funny, tall, and handsome.”For peace to reign, I decided against pushing the subject further and instead remain on the current topic which was the new guy.“So how and when did he ask you out?”“Three days ago after we finished a surgery together,” Ivy chuckled. “A romantic to the core, isn't he?”“I guess he is in a way,” I replied.“He told me he got an epiphany during the surgery and realized that life was too short to keep one's feelings h

Chapter: Silly questions Jocelyn’s POV As I flipped through the pages of a maternity book, a knock came on the door of the bedroom before Eduardo let himself in, a smile playing on his handsome face.“Hi, baby. How are you?” He asked, walking over to press a kiss to my lips and forehead.“Good,” I replied, rubbing my gargantuan belly. “The baby is kicking gently today which is quite surprising. If I didn't have an experience with pregnancy, I would have asked you to drive me to the hospital, so we could get her checked.”I was currently in the seventh month and last trimester of my pregnancy, and as much as I loved my unborn baby girl, I couldn't wait for it to come out.Last week, I had found out that I was having a girl via the surprise baby shower Amelia and Ivy had thrown me and I was very excited to meet my little baby girl.However, being cooped up at home for the past three months could be sickening and frustrating because I was always alone in the house.Three months ago during an appointment with my

Chapter: NewsEduardo’s POV Leaning against the doorway of our bedroom, I observed Jocelyn as she laid, cocooned in the blanket, face scrunched up in displeasure and possible ache, which she wouldn't admit.She had been like that for the past five hours and it was currently ten in the morning.I had come home last night to meet Ivy having dinner with the kids and Jocelyn copoed up in bed, burning hot with a temperature.All my efforts to get her to go to the hospital had been in vain, as she had vehemently stated she was fine and didn't need to be assessed by a doctor.Right now, as I looked at her, I mentally admonished myself for listening to her last night, instead of doing a better job of persuading her to see a doctor.“That does it, baby. We are going to the hospital,” I said, and watched her try but fail to sit up.I was instantly at her side, propping a pillow behind her and covering her with the blanket.“Thanks, Ed,” She said then sneezed into the handkerchief in her hand. “I don't need

Chapter: Sick Jocelyn’s POV I winced as the back of my head tightened with an excruciating ache, stifling the urge to groan in pain.“The sales memo and the quarterly report were thoroughly reviewed and evaluated by me yesterday, so everything should be perfect,” The team leader of sales department, Micheal Gould, said into the microphone, aggravating my migraine.“Okay, that's good.’ I forced myself to say, balling my hands into fists and placing it on my lap.I couldn't help but wonder why I had such a bad headache that afternoon, as the voices in the conference room blurred, and the sound of my heart thumping filled my ears.My mouth was hot, my lips numb, and my body warm as the ache intensified.I had woken up hale and hearty today, excited for the start of a new work week, and mine and Eduardo's impending dinner that was supposed to happen later today.But given how I seemed to have fallen ill all of a sudden, I knew the dinner would likely not happen anymore.The mere thought of it was beyo

After Divorce, I Became A Hotshot Lawyer
On seeing Francesco’s name, I temporarily forgot all about my cramps and swiftly answered the call.
“You are so hot, it’s fucking insane. I just can’t seem to get enough of you, April.” Francesco growled, and my eyes widened into the size of saucers.
“Ugh, i-it just won't go all the way in, should we try a different position?” April moaned, which made me cough out a joyless laughter.
“Maybe you should stop moving and let me do the work, baby,” My husband replied, and I huffed mirthlessly.

Chapter: A crazy surprise Josephine’s POV “As you all know, the annual lawyers retreat is coming up soon,” Chief Caruso began. “Although the date is known, the venue is yet to be decided.”Presently, we were having a meeting in the general conference room, and for some odd reasons, the room reminded me of the last person I wanted to be thinking of at that moment.My ex-husband, Francesco.It was probably because all our meetings had taken place here, so I couldn't shake off his annoying presence.Three days had passed since I found out about Dr Derek's arrest and my mother-in-law's possible involvement in the whole thing.Within that short span, Francesco had nearly blown off my phone with calls, messages, and after I blocked his line, he had resorted to sending me emails.The contents of his messages and emails were always the same thing; a lengthy apology and a plea for us to talk about things clearly soon.Thinking about how he had believed I was the bad guy for five good years and had hated me for it, mad

I think he doesn't want me to know about it yet.”“That's great, girl,” I said. “I'm so happy for you.”“Thanks, Jo,” Alice giggled. “I'm happy too.

By the way, did you see the news about that psycho American doctor?”“No, I didn't,” I asked, and she huffed. “What happened?”“Let me show you just how evil some people can be.

In contrast to how suffocated I had thought being courted by Ian would be, it was quite relaxing.Three days ago, Ian had asked me out on a golfing date, and I had accepted.“What's your favourite sport?” Ian asked, as the help set the golfing bag down on the field.“Swimming,” I replied, grabbing a golfing pole. “How about you?”“Golfing,” He said. “My dad and I used to golf a lot before his death, so I developed quite an emotional bond with the sport in order to cope with the grief. My mum died after I was born, so I never really knew her.”“I'm so sorry to hear that,” I said, as Ian placed a golf ball in my path.“It's fine, Jo,” He chuckled. “A decade has passed since then, and honestly, I don't even think about them as often nowadays because I've found someone who gives meaning to my life.”Saying so,

I had done my makeup to the best of my ability and thankfully, it came out really nice.Even nicer than I expected.Running my hands down my hips, I stared at my empty wrists, inwardly deliberating whether or not to leave them bare.Glancing at the wall clock, I saw that I had about fifteen minutes left before Ian would come pick me up, so I decided to wear chunky silver bangles.Thereafter, I slid into my pair of silver heels, grabbed my silver clutch purse, and blew my reflection a kiss.As I trekked downstairs, the doorbell rang, causing me to smile.It seemed Ian had decided to come earlier.With a huge exhale, I opened the door and there Ian was, smartly dressed in a grey suit.“You look gorgeous, Jo,” He said, blue eyes regarding him. “Breathtaking even.”“Thanks,” I replied. “You too.”“I'm flatte

I proposed to my girlfriend last night, and now we are formally engaged.”“That's wonderful news, man,” I said. “I'm happy to hear that.”“Yeah, thanks, man.”“Give me a shot of tequila,” I said to the bartender, then gazed at Nathan. “Order yours.

He hadn't called any of us after yesterday, and his phone was switched off.Obviously, he didn't feel like speaking to anyone, and that made me feel somewhat bad and mad at him.I was turning twenty two this year for crying out loud yet here he was, still policing my life.Of course, I was grateful I had someone as involved and caring as him as my father, but sometimes, his overprotectiveness never failed to piss me off.She stiffened for a moment before sitting beside me on the bed, “Actually, I suspected there was something between you both but I just didn't think too much of it.”“Oh,” was all I could say as I took a forkful of watermelon. “I was also carrying so much guilt, you know. I couldn't bring myself to ask you a question like that because I felt it wasn't my place,”

So if you don't mind, could you please narrate how it happened?”Inhaling shakily, I nodded, “I doubt it can even count as a narration. All I can remember is that I was arguing with a course mate about something and in the next minute, I was coughing out blood and fighting for my life.”“If you don't mind me asking, why were you arguing with that coursemate? What relationship do you have with them?”Looking at my dad, I swallowed harshly as I inwardly contemplated whether or not to come clean about the whole thing with Erik.Up til

What are you doing here?” A strangely familiar woman's voice, wafted into my ears as I took in the blissful scent of the flower field.Blinking my eyes open, I saw Mrs Thompson, Kimberly's mum, standing some feet away from me, a displeased countenance mauling her face.Only then did I realize something was amiss.In a blink, Mrs Thompson was standing right in front of me, her arms folded across her chest as she regarded me sternly.“Am I dead?” was the first question that escaped me as I stared at her.“Not yet,” She replied. “It's not yet your time and will never be for a while. That is why you need to go back immediately.”It was then I remembered what happened; how I had being alright in o

Putting one of them in my ear, I nodded in appreciation as Mike opened the backseat for me.I listened to the first voicemail Mary sent and my heart dropped straight to the deepest pit of my stomach.“Talia was rushed to the hospital after vomiting blood and fainting in school. Please answer your calls, soon. Alexander and I are on our way to the airport.” Her voice came, frantic and shaky.“Oh, God,” I muttered, playing the rest of her voicemails which sounded identical to the first one.I didn't need to play Alexander's voicemails because
