2024-10-29 19:42:56"Think of it, this way. Mommy is taking a vacation or a business trip and when it's done she'll come back,"she knelt down on the concrete path outside Seth's school.
She bit her lip trying to sound so tough, wiping the strands of black hair from her son's face. Next to them was James, waiting impatiently for the conversation to end and he would take the kid home per his boss' orders."I don't understand, mommy. Why can't I come with you?"This time she smiled, looked at his eyes and hugged him so tightly that the kid almost choked."I love you baby. So much. You know that right?" She held the back of his head before pulling out of the embrace and kissing his forehead."And I love you too, mommy. From the moon and back"And well that was that. She watched as the car drove away and she couldn't help it. She was leaving her baby for the very first time, that too for her selfish reasons. But no, she was not going to run. Her brother

Thanks," she smiled appreciatively taking her driver's hand for support.Immediately she was out of the car, the cameras flashed her face. Some asking her if the men behind her were her escorts. Truth be told once she had stepped out of the vehicle, she hadn't looked back to see who was who. But if there were men behind her, that would only mean that her dad had sent some men to keep watch over her despite her insisting she would be alright.She took one step at a time giving the paparazzi time to capture her beauty. Dressed in a silver strapless gown and one of her family's heirloom necklaces on her neck, she flushed a smile walking further. Odd enough, the four inch heels her mother had ordered for her felt comfortable. She took out her card showed it to the man standing out the event before getting in the ballroom.Now if there's one thing, the Griffin family were known for was their way of showing off. The party seemed nice. Formal, everything around s

MikaellaImmediately she got home, she let her legs sprawl over the bed. Tonight, she felt carefree. She felt like a teen all over again. Not a mother nor a wife to an ungrateful husband, but a teen.It was not her intention to make a fool of people at the party but Marcus wouldn't stop. Just to prove a point, he had poured hot cheese on some guy just to prove that the whole event was infact filled with snobs. She remembered how the guy had called Marcus dumb telling him that in no way did could he afford to pay for his five hundred dollar suit. The rest of the night went on with her listening to Marcus' stories of how he had encountered a bunch of snobs in the station. The night had surely brought life to her forlorn heart and from Marcus she had learnt that her life wasn't as bad as she claimed."So you are telling me you left your son just to attend what? Some man baby's party. Damn and I thought you were ruthless. Not to be confused I think you ar

RomanThe elevator doors parted and he took in the scent. Walking down the heavily scented hallway, he greeted the maid passing by carefully watching the numbers on each door.Finally arriving at her room, he took a deep breath turning the knob slightly. As fast as he was in, the cream colored room caught his attention. The delicate vases carefully settled within the farthest ends of the room. His shift drifted back to the woman on the bed. The woman in nothing but a red lingerie."I knew you wouldn't disappoint,"she stood up moving swiftly to where he was.As fast as she had her hands entangled behind his neck, he did what he came here for. Grabbing her by the neck, he captured her lips roughly and within a flash they were on the bed. He forced his tongue into her mouth undeterred by her moans. Her moans did nothing to him and he realised that but he wasn't going to stop now.Pulling away from her he unbuckled his belt tearing away the f

MikaellaDinner. Dinner was awkward. What she couldn't understand was why he was at the table this early. And just to lighten the tension, her son had spoke out numerous times about the blonde he had a crush for, Tessa Reinhart."Mommy can we go to Walmart tomorrow?" Seth asked and she returned it with a smile.All the while Roman sat across her, sending her these signals that irked her. Why was he looking at her like that if he didn't want me to be his wife to begin with? She had reasoned swallowing the lasagna. After dinner and after telling her son for the umpteenth time that they would go to Walmart tomorrow just to buy some plastic roses, she went to her room.More specifically the guest room. Sure she had come back home, but she wasn't dumb enough to sleep in the same room he was. She would bet a million dollars that he wanted Joanna sleeping next to him and not her. And the truth is, it hurt a tinsie bit but she let it go.After mi

Mikaella"Ooh mama. Work it girl! Work it!" Raque shouted.Normally she wouldn't do this, but when her colleagues chanted, she went with the flow, dancing awkwardly against the marble floor. Raquel rushed over to her, hugging her so tight before pulling back,"That leave sure did you some good huh? Look at you," Mick twirled sarcastically per Raquel's comments,"you are glowing! You had sex didn't you?"And that stopped the humor. Sex was the last thing she was having. Come to think of it the last time she had it was what? Like five or six years?"Nope. God. Why? Why would you think that?"Mikaella slapped her forehead lightly."Ok maybe not sex but the party did bring out the best of you. And that guy you were with mmh-hmm mama wants some!""What...what party?"Grabbing the newspaper from her secretary's desk, Raquel flipped it. The Sandoval heiress tamed yet by another hunk?Mikaella graced the front pa

Roman"Sir should I order your lunch?" His secretary asked but with a smile he replied with a no.It was sudden, he knew but the urge of going to Mikaella and asking her out for lunch was great. He knew very well that Mikaella would refuse his lunch proposal but deep down what he wanted to see was her. His wife was a clever little minx trying to avoid him.Like today, she had woken up so early and went off to work just to avoid him. But that would change, he was determined to win her back come what may. "What do you mean she is not in?" Roman asked the brunette seating before Mick's office.His heart fell a little, the drive on the way here was worth it all because her and now? She was not even in? Then where was she? The question dominated his mind. Where was she?"Just what I said Sir, she's not yet back"Did she go to lunch earlier? But he arrived earlier didn't he?"Back from where?""She happ

MikaellaShe really wanted to believe him. To believe those grey eyes that made her heart pound everytime. But falling for Roman Cervantes was pure torture. One day he was into you so much that you'd almost have sex in the dining room and the next he was not. The next he was a cruel guy who didn't want anything to do with her.Color drained from his eyes when she said she didn't want him, it was like he was breaking from the inside and when Mikaella went to say something more, this came out instead,"Aaah_chew!"She sneezed right in Roman's face. Roman pulling away slowly removed his jacket wrapping it around Mick's shoulders."Let's go home" He simply stated.She couldn't quite pin it but deep down she knew he was upset. Did he really care for her?"I still have work to do so excuse me,"she replied trying to move past him but he was quick to grab hold of her wrist, taking advantage of the situation and yanking her into

RomanHe was so cautious not to touch her. Not to do anything but help her feel better. And as he fed her, he wanted nothing more but to touch her, take her hand and assure her that she would feel better in a day thanks to his killer soup. But he understood. Taking advantage of Mikaella while she was weak wasn't the right thing. That would only lead to more arguments.More arguments about the love he claimed he had for, more arguments about the Pierce guy. Ooh the Pierce guy, even without being told he could tell that Mick cared for the dang bastard. Why did she not slap the douche when he drenched all her clothes? Or dance with the guy merrily at the Griffin' party.The thought that Mikaella was warming up to another guy and not him made his heart break a little... Switching off the lights and pecking her forehead lightly he decided to leave the room but Mick's hand laced with his and the profound feeling of his heart beating was back.Roman afte

**Eight years later***"Dad! You came!" Kylie squealed jumping into Marcus' arms."I wouldn't miss it for the world princess",he spoke, parting from the embrace and giving her the purple wrapped gift."What about Pop-pop and Meemaw?" She asked looking behind him to see whether they were behind him."Unfortunately your grandfather had to bail at the last minute, something came up. Meemaw was right behind me, she's probably taking something from the car. Anyway, happy sweet sixteen, princess. Or should I say hashtag sixteen, hashtag sweet sixteen? Hashtag adobs""Eew, stop! Just stop! Happy birthday will do",Kylie chuckled.Mikaella and Roman were by the chocolate brunch flirting as always and at the same time wondering when Seth would get to the party. Kylie and Seth were bonded so much that they had an insane love for chocolate and so much that when Seth went to college, Kylie wanted to go to college with him too. The people murmured against themselves asking when the cake would be cu

Mikaella"You don't have to do this",another voice soared in the room and a pissed James turned to stare at the man standing by the door.Marcus stood cautiously by the door and Mikaella felt relieved that he was there."Daddy!" Kylie screamed wriggling in James' arms."One more step and the kid gets it. Don't tempt me!"James shouted placing the nozzle of the gun on top of Kylie's head."Look, man. She's just a kid. Leave her and her mother and take me instead. I can get you cash, ten million, twenty-any amount you want",Marcus reasoned taking another step into the house."Not another step!"James shouted pressing the gun on Kylie's head harder and Mikaella cried praying that her kid wouldn't get hurt."Money? You think I want money from you? You should have let her die maybe then my family wouldn't be dragged into this mess. You are so clueless, aren't you? I'm not here for money and I don't want to do this but Leonardo has my family! It's a good thing you came, you are supposed to di

MikaellaHer week had taken quite the somersault, she couldn't imagine that just a while ago she was in New Zealand worrying about what to cook for supper and the foundation's well being. Now she was worried about more trivial things, if Marcus had gotten released today as Roman had promised, if it was right to even go back to Roman and how Kylie would take the whole situation.She had been cooped in the condo for hours now, the logical thing at the moment was to start packing. To start preparing for a new life as Mikaella Sandoval Cervantes.Kylie was in her bedroom sleeping after an exhausting morning of playing horsie as she called it with Knuckles. Pouring the last of the coffee in her mug, she grabbed the mug heading to her bedroom to occupy herself with packing clothes she didn't really like into suitcases she hadn't even bought."I don't even like yellow",she sighed looking at the bright yellow dress on her bed.The other dresses next to her bed were even brighter than that on

MikaellaᕙShe had worn Elizabeth's clothes inorder to fool the guards standing outside her door. The plan worked and right now she was on her way to Men's Central Jail.Within no time, she was standing outside the place where Marcus was being kept wondering if it was a good idea to even step foot in there. Was she even ready to face him? It was too late now, to back down."Name?"The sheriff asked and she answered Marcus Pierce. I'm here to see Marcus Pierce.It was a good thing he didn't ask who she was because she had no clue how to answer the question. She was his wife or atleast she thought she was his wife.The sheriff got out a bunch of keys opening the metallic door for her. The door creaked open and there was a certain silence that creeped her out. She followed the Sheriff walking behind him meekly. There were all kinds of people in there, one of the guys in there had a tooth, another was missing an eye, another had a scar on his face that looked like either he was burnt by h

RomanHe must have been way in his head if he thought that just because he found her, they would be one happy family.'Give her time' Most people told him that, but how much time had he lost not being with her?They couldn't understand him, understand how he was feeling after seeing her after so long. He was driving to Lisa's house, she atleast needed to hear everything from him than from another person. He knew he was going to hurt her but the truth had always hurt and at the same time let people free. His wife was back and like a love struck teenager his feelings for her were stronger. Maybe stronger than even before now that he knew he had a daughter and Lisa needed to know that. That he cared for her but he still loved his wife.At first he doubted Kylie was his daughter, which is why hours later after Marcus was brought back from New Zealand with the help of the police, Roman had been the first to visit him in prison. It pissed him off, how Marcus asked about Mikaella and Kylie

MikaellaShe sipped the wine that came with the condominium. Sitting on a warm fuzzy couch, her eyes raked the world outside the huge glass window. All her life was a lie. All those eight years with Marcus were nothing but a made up fairytale.She couldn't help thinking about what her son said. Seth wanted a mother so bad, he needed a mother by his side but she on the other hand had shut him out of her mind, had shut everyone out of her mind. What had she done to deserve such punishment, such torture?"Don't cry mom",Kylie came to her clutching Mr Knuckles in her hands.Atleast she had Knuckles with her, after everything that happened, Mikaella was sure that the new environment would torment Kylie as much as it tormented her. Which is why, she asked everyone to give her space so that she could process everything.Roman was quick to reject the decision she made but at the end of the day, her brother Gustavo thought it best. So hours later, she and her daughter were in a luxurious condo

MikaellaIn every action movie, there was always this guy who would say something dumb like 'expect the unexpected '. The dumb thing about it was that once he bravely let those three words out his mouth, there was no manual that came along with it. No list of instructions on how to confront the unexpected or how to react to the unexpected or what the unexpected really was to begin with.Kind of like how her life was at the moment. A whole bucket load of unexpected shit hit her whack in the face and there was no way to confront it, no way to tackle it because in the first place nothing made sense. It was like being hit in the head and waking up in a totally new world, where no one made sense, nothing made sense and the environment didn't make sense either.The more she stared at her shaky palms the more she felt like going crazy, her mind drowning in a whirlpool of questions. Who was she? It was like starting from square one again. Like the exact moment the doctor asked if she remember

Roman"You tell him to get a good place to hide because I'll sure as hell kill him once I get my hands on him",Roman threatened the woman standing in her living room scared."And where exactly are you taking her? Her husband deserves to know- I'll call the police if I have to,"she fired back and Roman didn't flinch.He had an unconscious Mikaella in his arms unwillingly to let her go. With an angry grunt, he tightened the grip on her waist leaving the house in a hurry and his men following close behind. As soon as she was secure in his car, the driver revved the engine and they were on their way to the airport.He was determined to get her home. He had promised Mick's parents that they would definitely see her. Getting the phone from his pants, he dialed Gustavo's number."I have her. It's her. It's really her but she can't remember. She can't remember anyone. Gather the best doctors from the world, we are going to bring our Mick back, Gus",he said smiling from sheer happiness."I-i'l

MikaellaSomething terribly fishy was going on, just the other night she had been knocking on Elizabeth's door and no one seemed home. Actually she hadn't seen her for a couple of days now since they had that talk."You are telling me they eloped to come here? What, maybe they eloped again? You know how young love is", Carmen suggested but Ruby couldn't shake off the queer feeling in her chest.If they eloped again Elizabeth would have told her, maybe thank her for everything before saying goodbye. Plus, a little prying about the Hendersons from Marcus and she found out Bill Henderson wasn't planning to move anytime soon. His wife had a great job here and so did he so why then would they sell their house?"Why don't we forget about it. So how was New York?" Ruby asked taking a sip of the coffee infront of her."Turns out I'm destined to never find love, be it in New York or here. I hooked up with this guy and after we had done it, he said he wasn't ready for something serious. He was
