Logan's POV For the side dish, we were served Mexican rice. The rice grains glistened with a subtle sheen, hinting at the savory broth in which they had been simmered to perfection. Diced vegetables, like confetti, adorned the dish—bright pops of red from tomatoes, emerald green from cilantro, and the earthy tones of sautéed onions. The aromatic blend promised a symphony of tastes, while the fluffiness of the grains suggested a delicate balance between texture and flavor. This Mexican rice not only tantalized the taste buds but also added a visual feast to the table, embodying the essence of traditional and flavorful cuisine. They informed us that there was dessert just as we were on the verge of concluding our meal. There was also a Tres Leches dessert for that occasion. By virtue of its ethereal attraction, the cake, which was sitting on my plate, beckoned to me. A delightful mystery was concealed within its surface, which was a canvas made of golden sponge. Each piece of the cake
Logan's POV"Do you have to?" "Yes. We have to. So what theme do you want it to be? Forest themed? Angel? All-white? Outdoor? Starry night? Name it and that is what we'll do!"Okay, slow down! How about an All white party with an angel theme and then for the guests, they all have to come with a date or a plus 1?" "Okay, sounds good but what about the kids? Should they have a separate party? Because there would be a lot of adult things going on.""Of course they would. It would be an avenue for them to also mingle and make new friends before school starts." "So what theme would we have for them?" "I think we should ask them." I agreed and then we proceeded to call the kids downstairs. When they arrived, they all sat down and Ava gave me the sign to go ahead. "So darlings, mummy and daddy are planning a party for.." as soon as they heard there was a party, they all started squealing with excitement and Nash even climbed the chair and was about to jump on it when Ava stopped him and
Aiden's POVI paced up and down in my study as I tried to place my hands on where to begin picking up my pieces from. I had played my cards the wrong way and now, I was reaping the repercussions. I wasn't ever a careful player, I was always reckless and every time things went wrong, I didn't seem to learn any lesson but maybe that was because things rarely went wrong and I always had my way.I finally realized that my way wasn't always the best way and sometimes, listening to others might save my ass from always getting burnt. I was stubborn and I knew it, I didn't appreciate the things nearest to me and I also knew it but one thing that was constant was that there was always a chance to start over and rewrite as much wrong as I could. I had started the process which began with bringing Isabella back home and although it was difficult, I had succeeded. One thing about her that I appreciated was the fact that she was good at making plans for anything, be it food, a trip, a party and al
Ava's POV"Good morning beautiful… I'll be back before breakfast.." I woke up just in time to see Logan's blurry figure leaving the room. I didn't need to ask where he was going to because I was sure he was going for his early morning workout session and since we were home, he didn't have to go to a clearing in the bush. Well, the space was still covered but at least it was inside the patch house/palace– not yet sure what they call it here. I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep but nothing was forthcoming "I guess this is my sign to just get out of bed and do something with my life." I didn't sit up for some minutes and then got up without a vision of what I was going to do. I walked past the mirror to get to the bathroom and immediately I saw my reflection from my side view, a realization hit me and so I reversed, pulled my chair out and sat in from of it.What am I even doing thinking I could find something to do? I remembered that we were no longer in Nightingale pack, a
Ava's POV It was set for six pm tonight and at four pm, neither I or the kids were ready yet. Forget about us, I couldn't even find Logan around the house. Strangling the kids wasn't easy because all they wanted to do was run around and play hide and seek. I had two problems, one was my worry about getting the kids ready and then they messed themselves up again and two, not getting them ready on time for me to get ready as well. Their nanny and I were trying our best but it wasn't enough. I felt like if their father was around he would make them do what they ought to do. After a while of searching without results, I decided to don't my way. I told the kids that If they didn't help us to help them get ready we would leave them at home which meant that there would be no popcorn or ice-cream for them either and that the other kids would be the ones to enjoy the party instead of them. At first, I seemed like they didn't care but slowly what I said started sinking in and gradually they f
Ava's POVWhen we got to the venue, I saw Logan waiting for me at the entry, and as I entered, I was greeted by a sea of beauty and breathtaking elegance. With the addition of ethereal décor, the location was converted into a sanctuary that was reminiscent of a dream. The ceiling was covered with ivory drapes that cascaded down, giving the impression that clouds were floating in the air. Soft fairy lights created a gentle, starry glow to the room.In addition to gorgeous floral arrangements that included lilies, roses, and orchids, the tables were covered with clean white linens. A warm and intimate atmosphere was created by glowing candles that were placed in glass holders. These candles reflected on the shiny surfaces of the venue. Snowflakes that were oversized and glittering were strategically strung, which contributed to the feeling of a winter wonderland.A dance floor that was completely white and surrounded by seating configurations that were simple but luxurious beckoned to b
Aiden's POVI was nervous, no doubt, because I didn't know how Ava was going to react to what I had planned. I told her she was going to love it but I wasn't so sure if she would. If my plan flopped, it was going to be a huge blow on my face. As we walked to the outer part of the venue, I silently prayed and hoped that I was going to get the best out of it and I also wondered if I should have given her a heads up. "You didn't tell me there was going to be a fireworks display!" "I wanted it to be a surprise.""It's beautiful…""I know right?" The time was drawing near and the lights on the sky started morphing into images. First it was a heart, next it was three kids. "Logan, what's going on?" "Shhhh" The next thing written in the sky was ‘i'm so glad I found you’ and then ‘you make my world complete’"Logan, what's going on?" Ava's POVI looked to my left and right and I couldn't still find Logan. I was so confused and lost because whatever was going on wasn't part of the plan.
Ava's POVand funny how I didn't even realise you were gone.""You we're occupied with playing with the kids and I saw that as the perfect opportunity." "But where did you follow? Because if you had followed the front door, I probably would have noticed. Or did you leave after I went to the playroom with the kids?""Yup. I did. Remember when I popped in to see you guys and I told the kids that I would have loved to play with them but I had work to do..""I think I do.""I left shortly after that." "You sneaky snake!" "Come on! I had to do what I had to do" we both laughed and that moment, we were asked to join in a game. We sat in a circle and then music was going to be played while a bowl containing papers went round. Now, if the music stopped when the bowl is in your hands, you have to pick a paper and do whatever is written in that paper. We started and it was all fun but the bowl stopped in neither mine or Logan's possession until all the tasks finished and they had to get anot
