Chapter: I'll love you forever...The cool evening breeze of Miami Beach hit her barely covered skin. It had been a long night of after-party and bidding goodbye as they prepared to travel. Kyla stirred in bed, her eyes opening slightly as a smile graced her lips. She couldn't help but feel her heart reap in joy as she remembered the previous event of her wedding. If she thought it would be good, then she was mistaken, everything exceeded her expectations. It was nothing short of pure Bliss and exceptional. Kyla straightened her arm, only for it to fall on the cold empty spot of her husband's side. They lay all night, tossing and turning in the sheets. Making love through the remaining hours of the night, through their tiredness, until all Kyla could remember was her passing out. She sat up looking at the open window which ushered in the cool breeze from the sea. She hadn't had time to enjoy the beach, as they arrived during the night. Setting her bare feet to the cold floor, she shivered as she walked to the bath

Chapter: The Day “Hurry or we're going to be late,” Amber almost screamed at her husband who was struggling to keep his tie straight.“Hunnie, can't you see I'm trying to keep this damn thing straight!” Justus replied in his defense, his tone full of annoyance, but Amber laughed at him in return.Justus huffed out loud giving up on his quest making him shrug his shoulders in defeat. A loud cry resonated in the room making Amber close her eyes tightly. Any other day would be okay to hear the pleasant sounds of baby Kendra, but today was just not the day.Justus muffled his chuckle, but Amber didn't miss it, making her throw him a look angrily.“You're enjoying this, right?” Amber asked, looking at him sharply.“Hunnie, I'm not enjoying anything but my little princess seems to be feeling worse than me,” Justus teased, raising his brow at her.It's been four months since Amber delivered a bouncing baby girl. She could never forget that day for anything, from the grand hall to the last bit of her deliver

Chapter: Is it what I think it is?Kyla tapped on the accept button, hating that she couldn't get rid of the foul feeling that stuck to her stomach. “Hello, Jus, what's up?” Kyla asked, her eyes brows knitted together in confusion.“Kyla, it's Liam, he's in trouble, the meeting went sideways, please come to the address I'll send you,” Justus said, getting straight to the point, panic evident in his voice.Kyla felt her body tremble and feel weak at the same time. Her legs failing to support her, making her buckle, almost sending her to the ground. She glanced at the phone, which appeared to have been disconnected.“What! Amber, I have to go, Liam's in trouble!” Kyla said in panic as she headed out, Amber hot on her heel as she struggled to catch up.“What happened? Wait for me, Kyla,” Amber said behind her, making Kyla slow down to help her down.They boarded the car quickly to the location sent, Kyla tapped her fingers on her thigh restlessly. She couldn't help but feel her heart beat fast in her stomach. She had nev

Chapter: He's in troubleThe party slowed down as nightfall neared everyone in the rush to get back to their places or other things.Kyla spotted Amber and Justus on one corner, already inseparable after their blissful moment. Kyla felt hands engulf her waist from behind. The familiar tingles telling her who it was before she could even see his face. “Why do you look jealous of Amber and Justus, Love?” Liam asked, whispering into her ears.“I just feel happy for them, at least Amber had her husband all evening unlike me,” Kyla said hinting on how busy he had been all evening.“Love, you know I love you right, I can't promise I'll spend the night with you, I have a meeting that was just set up impromptu,” Liam said making Kyla feel her heart dampen. She turned slowly, looking at him for any signs of teasing but found none.“Babe, are you seriously telling me, you'll be occupied tonight? What time will you be back?” Kyla asked, pouting as she looked at him.“I don't know for sure, but Justus will be accompany

Chapter: Surprised“Surprise!” Many voices shouted at once making Kyla and Liam halt suddenly in shock. Kyla was aware of what was happening, but she didn't expect something this grand would be done within a short time. Liam looked around, feeling his legs get weak at the beautiful scenery of what was once in ashes. As the lights came on Liam chuckled on seeing his family already present. It appeared everyone was aware except him, the burner with his late dad's name moved him to tears.‘IN LOVING MEMORY OF DANIEL STORM: HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON’Clapping came from every corner of the cheerful hall. “Babe, I hope you like it,” Kyla muttered beside her husband, throwing her dad a knowing look.Liam turned around hugging Kyla tightly before holding her at an arm's length and placing a kiss on her forehead.“I love it, thanks love, I love you so much,” Liam said, looking around, his eyes full of admiration.Kyla smiled broadly as she hugged him tightly, her heart beating fast in gratitude.

Chapter: What's going on?Liam sat up carefully looking at them, concern swimming in his eyes.“What is it champ?” Liam asked worriedly as Kyla sat on the bed next to him. It was unsure for Dean or the twins to wake up crying in the middle of the night for nothing.Dean, overwhelmed by whatever he was going through, cried even harder as Kyla hugged him comfortingly. Kyla placed her hand on his forehead to check if he was hot or sick, but everything appeared fine.“Tell us what's wrong baby, did you have a nightmare?” Kyla said, feeling her heart twist at seeing him like that.Dean nodded fresh tears brimming in his eyes. “Mommy, is being dead a bad thing?” Dean asked, looking at his mother curiously, his glassy eyes filled with tears. Kyla and Liam looked at each other both in surprise and confusion. “Why would you ask that, champ? Where did you hear the word from?” Liam asked, worry evident in his voice. No parent would imagine their child asking them about death. “I heard uncle saying that my parents are

Chapter: We're leaving On arrival at the hospital, Eva hopped out of the car heading for the entrance. The ride to the hospital composed nothing but stealing glances at each other, but none uttered a word. Hurrying through the corridors Eva sighed in relief on seeing Amy in sight. As Amy saw her, she practically ran towards her, her eyes wide in panic. “Eve how are you? What did you do?” Amy asked, looking at her friend in concern. Before Eva could respond Ronald came into sight making Amy stride towards him. “What did you do to her this time, narcist?” Amy called, pointing an accusing finger at him not caring if she was creating a scene in the hospital. “Please Amy calm down, I'll explain everything later,” Eva said, holding her back as she pleaded with her eyes. “I’m sorry for what happened Miss Amy, but that’s all over now,” Ronald explained, smiling at her slightly. Amy scoffed as she moved away from him as she dragged Eva with her. As they reached the ward room they stood as Eva held on to her ha

Chapter: Signing the contractRonald couldn’t concentrate on anything they were saying in the meeting as he kept glancing at his wristwatch. He needed to be somewhere else not listening to the same old things he had to hear all his life. His thoughts drifted off to Eva who surprisingly had not come to accept his terms. He had to admit, she was one tough nut to crack if after all he had done, she was not ready to give in yet. As he thought of the little boy he saved, he wished he could have stayed longer to see him. He remembered his front desk receptionist kept telling him of a doctor who kept leaving messages requesting him to call him back. He hadn’t had the time yet, but he intended to stop by the hospital to see the boy and talk to the doctor. “You agree sir…Sir?” his manager’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts only to find all eyes on him. “What…Yeah, you know what, why don’t we all take a break and resume after…” he didn’t get to finish his sentence as the door to the boardroom busted open, everyone’

Chapter: What's going on?Pacing quickly through the hospital corridors, Eva could be lying if she said she had slept even the slightest. Looking at her phone, she saw the multiple missed calls from Amy and the coffee shop. She pushed the door to the ward room and took another look at her son who slept peacefully all night. Her heavy eyelids protested demanding for rest as she blinked making her rub her eyes continuously. Her mind was still filled with worry from what happened last night. “Mommy?” a small soft voice called getting her attention, she could have sworn she was dreaming when she saw her son smiling at her. “Heey my charming prince, you’re awake early?” Eva said, smiling at him as she moved to his side, embracing her. “How are you feeling?” Eva asked, shuffling his hair playfully. “I’m feeling okay,” Jay answered smiling, though his tone was still a little pale. “That’s good because mommy is going to buy you whatever you want once you get better, okay?” Eva said, kissing his cheek, making him

Chapter: Wrong move...“Oh God!” Eva exclaimed looking at the man before her in terror, there was no way this was happening to her. Ronald held her waist firmly as he pulled her to him, he could feel her soft skin under the light clothing she had on. “That’s not fair, God is not here just me love,” Ronald said looking down at her like a desired prize he had won. “Please Ronald, let me go, I don’t want…” “Don’t want what Eva? Me? If it was another man in my stead, I’m sure you would be ready to jump his bones at his signal, right?” Ronald accused still holding her in position. “No, it’s not like that Ronald, it’s …” “It’s what, Eva? I’ve already paid for your services beforehand. I don't think you want to leave just yet,” Ronald interjected, letting her go gently as he noticed her trembling in fear. The last thing he wanted to see was fear in her eyes when she looked at him. Eva breathed out as she watched him sit on the bed away from her. Her brain, screaming at her to take the chance and run, but s

Chapter: Tough decisionAs they got into the house, Amy closed the door behind them, ready to interrogate her. She had never seen her like that in all the years they had known each other. “Look sweetie I understand if you don’t want to talk about whate…” “Take me to your job place tonight, I want to work, I could use the extra money,” Eva burbled out, looking at her friend boldly. Amy scoffed looking at her in shock, “gal, what’s gotten into you? Earlier you could never go with me, no matter how many times I tried to incite you, what’s going on, really?” Eva ran her hand through her hair then let them settle on her waist as she paced across the room. How could she even start to explain, and if she did, would it even make sense. “I just need money Asap,” Eva answered, not stopping in her wandering. Amy shrugged her shoulders in defeat, knowing Eva, she always liked to keep to her issues. But one thing she knew is when Eva was ready to talk, she would. “Well, you’re in luck, one of our dancers is absent

Chapter: I have to go,pleaseA loud buzzing of the phone broke their enchantment, bringing their minds out of their fantasy moment. Breathless, Eva pulled away her eyes lowered as her heart beat fast in excitement. She never thought she would feel that way after what happened years back. She felt a touch under her chin as Ronald lifted her face to meet his gaze. “Um… I should pick this,” Eva said, trying to steady her voice. Ronald held her hand a little firmer to stop her from moving away. “Be my contract wife, Eva,” he said with no hesitation in his voice. His statement caught her off-guard as she inhaled sharply in shock and surprise. Her eyes widened as she looked at him in disbelief, “wh… what?” “You heard me, I’ll pay you well, I mean you can’t ignore the chemistry between us,” Ronald said boldly. Eva scoffed looking at him in awe, the man before him was prouder than she thought. He didn’t seem to regard women very highly. “You know what, I think I need to leave,” Eva said, not sparing him a look.
