66H U G OHe's sleeping.He's sleeping peacefully.He's beautiful.I can't wait to carry him on my arms.But...I don't feel it.Why do I don't feel it?I don't feel what I felt when I saw Ben.It's not here.I don't feel it.This one is different.I begin to walk back to Audrey's room feeling confused and jaded wondering why the fatherly feeling isn’t here. Now that our baby's out, this goes out all over the tabloids quicker than a second. I guess it's already out on the tabloids and online now and I am sure that everyone wants to know more about the baby right away. God I wish they would all just stop for once in their lives.I stopped as soon as I saw Rose. She is all alone and I had to take the chance to walk up to her and talk to her. I've been wanting to talk to her again the second I saw her getting inside the plane with Landon."Rose." I say.She quickly looks at me over her shoulder and spins around, "Hugo."I smile with tight-lipped. "You're alone?" I ask her as I look aro
66.5M I R A N D AI run to the nearest bathroom and burst into tears as they were falling over my cheeks which were seemingly unstoppable. It hurts so much that I cannot even describe how painful it is. It hurts. It hurts. I really fucking fucking hurts and honestly, I hate this. I really freaking hate this. I hate this so much that I do not even know how to describe it.As much as I held back everything inside that elevator, I know I need to let this one out. I grabbed onto the sink and just cried aloud while my shoulders slumped as if it was the end of the world. I feel my heart is aching so much that I feel it's terribly tingling and throbbing. I know I could not do anything about this one. I can't do something about this because this is what is right. This is the right thing to do, to end this stupidity and to end this selfishness. This is what Hugo wanted to happen and this is what he should have done in the first place, to give up on me.I never thought it'll hurt this much hea
67M I R A N D A"What about this color?" Vivian asks.Vivian keeps flipping through the pages of the booklet."Oh my god this color would be perfect for the bridesmaids." She chimes happily and I swear to God she is too excited and happy for me..She moves her head to my direction, "Don't you think?" She ask."Lavender?" I arch an eyebrow as I stare at the color intently. It is not a bad color but it’s not something I want.Vivian nods at me with a smile."I kind of want it in a shade of baby blue." I continued to say."Baby blue? Or maybe beige. Beige is a little better. It'll make my skin color whiter."I chuckle softly. "You only think about yourself when you pick the bridesmaids' gown's color when you're even my maid of honor.""I just want your wedding to look more lavish than Audrey's!" She exclaims.I smile at her. "I'm not competing against her wedding." I say as a matter-of-fact while I continued, “There is no competition at all. Besides, I want my wedding to be more intimat
68M I R A N D ABen is now stabilized and he is sleeping peacefully on top of his hospital bed. It almost gave me a heart attack when I saw Ben having trouble breathing a while ago and maybe because I knew he has asthma plus his TBI would definitely make it worse even though he has been going through therapy.Landon hasn't left Ben's side and he hasn't talked to me since we got here, even though he keeps holding me tight around his arms. I know he's still bothered about what happened and he is as worried as I am.I grab a chair and sat next to Landon. He looks a little too serious but he smiles at me ruefully as I placed my head over his shoulder. "The doctor said Ben's fine." I say.I hear him sighing heavily. "It's because of me." Landon blames himself."It's not." I tried to get his mind off of it.I know he is blaming himself for what happened but I wouldn't want him to. What happened was an accident and I was careless enough to forget that Ben had TBI."Dosa is made of wheat lik
69M I R A N D AParis and Scarlet threw a massive bachelorette party which was a lot of fun. There were almost half naked men dancing and grinding around the room that Paris and Scarlet rented for the night. The songs that they played were too erotic and sexual and Vivian kept squealing when she saw the strippers taking off a piece from their clothing.It was crazy fun.Landon said he enjoyed his bachelor's party on that same night too. I'd worry when I think about sexy women doing what these hot men are doing before us. But then Landon is such an honest and faithful man because he would call up on my phone to check on me on what's going on with the party in the middle of his own bachelor party.I never actually thought I'd get to be walking down the aisle while my soon to be husband waits for me before the altar. It’s a dream come true.I never thought that marrying Landon Thompson would happen in reality. I'd used to daydream about it a lot and now it's really happening.There is n
70H U G O The moment they said each other's vows, I knew what she felt for Landon is real. Those words they said to each other were beyond perfect. I haven't been this jealous ever since and I feel the need of running out of the church to scream it all out from my chest because I am really hurt. I don't like what I'm feeling while watching them exchanging vows and everyone is crying for Landon and Rose because of joy but here I am acting stiff and emotionless but dying inside while I watch the woman I love getting married to my best friend.The way they looked at each other. The way they smiled at each other. The way they were so romantic over exchanging their vows and how they said it with love behind their eyes. The people around were even moved, Paris and Scarlet were even crying too. Most of the guests did, even the photographer's assistant cried.But I didn't.I wanted to cry but for another reason.That Rose will never be mine.Never. Ever."You may now kiss the bride." The pr
71My heart leaps."She's the kind of rose that I would want to see first thing in the morning in my garden. Always blooming and beautiful. You're damn lucky to have her and she's lucky to have you too." He adds.My tears were uncontrollably filling my eyes."Congratulations once again." Hugo smiles and everyone began clapping.Don't fall.Tears, don't fail me now.Don't fall.Please.But I failed. They're creeping out from the corners of my eyes.Damn it Hugo Saintclare.Suddenly, from the corner of my eyes I noticed that someone handed Landon a microphone and he quickly got it with his hands."Wow lads." Landon chimes while chuckling softly. "You moved me. I didn't know you had words like that for me." He jokes.I chuckle as I wipe my tears and I hear laughter from the guests too while the other men before me were smiling as well. But as I was looking at Hugo, he was looking at me with his brows meeting at the center of his forehead. His soft lips were pursed together and he would f
PROLOGUEAudrey is crying on the couch while she covers her face with her hands. He is sitting right across her and watching her crying her heart out but he didn't care. Audrey pulls her head up to him with her tears wetting her cheeks."You promised me Audrey." He says firm.He isn't bothered about her tears, he is hard as a rock and he does not care about emotions anymore. He knows pretty damn well that she acts her way out of trouble and he's gotten a hold of it for years now. He's used to seeing Audrey getting what she wants and she knows she can't deceive him but at least she tried to. He knows she's spoiled. He knows too damn well that he needs to trim down those devilish long horns above her head and he can do it because he can manipulate her for he knows all her dirty secrets."I know I promised you!" She yells."But it's taking so long!" He yells back.She's scared. She knows he's capable of everything when he wants to do something. She knows damn well that he is willing to k
