“Hello Aria. How’ve you been?.”~“I’m good.” Lola heaved a sigh of relief on hearing Aria’s reply. “Good.” She said.The line went silent once more, no one hung up, no one spoke, and each of the women waited to hear what the other would say next.“Why are you calling?.” Aria finally asked, breaking the silence.Lola sighed once more and her hold on the phone tightened as she stared out of her bedroom’s window. Aria might have revealed her identity to the media and confessed that she had feelings for her, but no matter what it was that had happened between them, she could not help but still feel a sense of attachment to the only woman who had stood by her and grown up with her since they were only six years old. They were both girls who had paved their way through life together and that at least, had to mean something. “I’m officially getting married this weekend, Aria… To Noah.” Lola started.“Oh… congrats, then..” Aria replied with an indifferent tone.“I know a lot has happened be
“Do you mind telling me where exactly we are going to Xena? We have a party to attend in exactly three hours..”“Ssshh.” Xena hushed as the chauffeur came around and opened the car’s door to let them out of the vehicle. “You are ruining the fun, miss bride-to-be.” She joked.Lola stepped out after Xena and looked around the familiar place. They were at the same mall they had come to purchase Noah’s birthday gifts some months back. Why were they here again? “Come on, let's go,” Xena said and hooked her left arm with Lola’s right one and led her directly into the mall. The two women passed by many stores including the one they had been to the last time they came with Aria, but Lola did not bother asking any more questions this time, since Xena appeared to know exactly where they were headed.Their destination turned out to be a lingerie store at the far end of the hallway and the store’s manager who seemed to know Xena well enough ushered them in with a smile on her face.“It's so good

And hey, do I hear the wedding bells ring already?~“Thought we all agreed to keep this ceremony as private as possible?

Notifications kept popping up and they all had the same topic, Noah’s surprise wedding.“And at the right time too,” Andy added with a frown on his
(Song Recommendation: Bruno Mars~ Marry You.)Noah tried to stay still as he stood waiting, but even he was as anxious as ever to see his bride. His polished shoes shifted impatiently on the carpet and he rubbed his palms together from time to time to keep the nervousness at bay.The bridal procession song started and everyone turned to look back at once in anticipation. The wedding location was The Penthouse, which was the largest, grandest hotel in Rosewoods and it belonged solely to the Kings family or more specifically, to Richard Kings. The main wedding venue was out in the open air in a large area that had a beautiful lakefront view. The photography team worked relentlessly to capture the beautiful moments from start to finish and the single media house which had been granted an exclusive contract to cover the event began to click away on their cameras. The bride finally showed up and amidst the gasps in the area which was filled up with only their guests, Noah felt his heart
Tyler’s gaze darkened as he watched Xena avoid making eye contact with him once again. He had tried to start a conversation with her multiple times today but she had been acting strange. If he didn’t know better, he might have thought that she was shy, but that was ridiculous. He knew Xena Sanchez from when she had styled pigtails for preschool. Xena was anything but shy.“Boss.” A bodyguard called out, just as he watched Xena walk away and meet up with a group of her friends at the far end of the hall.“What is it?.” He asked and forced his eyes to look away from Xena and face the man who was standing in front of him.“She left the hotel grounds after congratulating the bride.” The bodyguard informed. He was one of the men assigned by Tyler to keep an eye on Aria.Tyler’s eyes narrowed for a second but he nodded with slight satisfaction. He had no idea why the girl had truly come but he was glad to have her gone without having to do much. At least, Aria knew better than to cause troub
Lola heard the front door open. She hurriedly grabbed a small bag from one of the suitcases and rushed into the closest bathroom. Noah was back. She laid a hand over her troubled belly and swept her other free hand right through her lush red hair in deep frustration. The ache was painfully familiar. How could her period choose to start on such a day and time? What was worse was the fact that she had been foolish enough to not check it out on her calendar in advance. The resort they were visiting was on a low-lying coral island in the Atlantic Ocean. It had a tropical escape along Crystal Bay, a long stretch of sugar-white shoreline that’s regularly named to be among one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. For their honeymoon, Noah had booked the most outstanding suite. A penthouse, with detailed furnishings. It had three bathrooms, a powder room, a foyer, a living area, a dining area, a television room, a kitchen, and an expansive exterior terrace. Yet, she had ruined her weddin
Rose Woods City, New York.One might have expected that the gossip surrounding the sudden marriage of the city’s most eligible bachelor and their famous dance muse would have died down after a while, but this was not the case. After the news of the young Sanchez couple’s marriage had been made public, the netizens who found it had to believe that the two people had such a relationship started to dig and pull out hints that might help them understand how the relationship between the two had come about. Many gossip columns and TV shows also used this medium to promote their businesses. Luckily, for Lola, they found no way to trace back the success of her dance career to Noah and therefore disbanded the rumors that she might have succeeded because of her secret relationship with the business god.Random photographs of the two taken together in public places in the past months started to surface miraculously and the media houses and netizens eventually concluded that the woman in the rece
“Sneaky bastard!.” Grandfather Sanchez blurted out as he straightened up in his seat with sudden anger.Old Boyd might be his long-time friend but he could not trust the crafty man to sit still and do nothing when there was a possibility of him losing the bet. Knowing how envious Old Boyd was of his family’s precious heirloom, the old geezer was practically capable of doing anything possible to have it for himself.“We’ve had the couple thoroughly investigated sir.” Mr. Henry suddenly said as if guessing where his master’s thoughts had wandered to. “Surely, I assure you, It’s not in any way what you think it might be. Besides, we should trust the young master to know the right thing to do in this case. He would not let the couple remain so close to his wife had they happened to be a danger of some sort.” The butler added to dismiss the worries of his master and friend.Grandfather Sanchez finally heaved a long sigh and put the tablet away as he saw reason in Henry’s words. He had done
