CHAPTER 85M I R A N D AIt has been a week since Landon and I have signed the divorce papers. Even though Landon planned it behind my back, I think all I've left to do was to sign the papers. I don't want to divorce him because he's a nice man but at the same time I don't want him to stay in this wrecked-up relationship that neither of us can't fix it.I guess the solution was ending it.I went back to New York after the signing of the divorce papers and I still communicate with Landon after it because he didn’t want me to feel that I lost him. He talks to me about Ben and Bethany since they were still in London. The kids still don't know how things are going between us but I wonder how will I tell Ben about this.The court are trying to sort things out about how Landon will have time for the kids since he has the right to be a father to them too.Landon still hasn't spoken up about the issue even though a part of it has already been leaked to the media. I don't want to comment anyth
CHAPTER 86M I R A N D AWe walk inside his penthouse suite after being inside the elevator while I feel my heart was still pounding against my chest. He walks his way to the living room while I follow him there. My eyes darted at him right away when he begins to take his trench coat off, loosened his tie then placed it over the table and finally unbuttoned the first three buttons of his black dress shirt while he pulled out the hems that he inserted in between in pants.Oh god that was fucking hot.He looks at me, "Do you want it hot or cold?"I gulped.Fucking hot. My malicious mind tells me. I shake my head right away. Stop thinking naughty things Miranda. He's talking about the coffee. You're making yourself horny again. I scolded myself.We went silent."Your coffee?" He asked."Yeah." I snapped myself out from my own thoughts. "Hot." I answered, clearing my throat. "I like it hot."He grins at me, giving me an evil stare while he was licking his lips. "I like it hot too." He muf
CHAPTER 87H U G OIt's been months and years since I've seen Miranda Rose, I lost count already. It's been a really long time since I've seen her and there's never been a day that I don't miss her. I know she wants space from everything that has happened, and I want her to think it thoroughly if she still wants to be with me or not.I love her and I think I'll always will, but I won't force her to be with me just because she’s divorced now.The kids are with her in New York and Ben already understood the fact that she had divorced Landon. She mentioned that Ben has been coping up after Landon left.On the other hand, I would come over if I have a free time from my busy schedule. But I always Skype with my kids, no matter how busy I am, no matter how hectic my schedule is, I always make sure to make time for them. I make sure that we talk before the end of the day, and I make sure to ask how their day went, even though it's bright as daylight here or it's pretty damn late in London.I
CHAPTER 88M I R A N D AIt's been almost two years and half, since I've seen Hugo. I miss him. I really miss being with him. I miss seeing him. I miss seeing his dimpled smile.His long brown curly hair. His handsome face. And how I feel when he's around me. So whenever I miss him, I just stare at Ben and then I get reminded of Hugo in him. I even hug Ben tight just so I could feel like I'm hugging Hugo too.During the past months, when I try to reach out to Hugo, he doesn't answer his phone. He doesn't even answer my text that much and I feel like something is wrong with how he's treating me. I know he's giving me space so I could at least have a little time for myself from everything that happened, but then I think he's really doing it wrong.He is really avoiding me.But then I try to hope he's not.Maybe he's just sleeping when I'm calling him or he's just pretty much busy with his work that's why he doesn't answer my text all the time. I haven't read news about him dating someon
CHAPTER 89M I R A N D AWhen we got home, Hugo and the kids played some video games. Ben and Bethany was having so much fun together with their dad and I was happy to see them being so happy together.When it was already getting late, Bethany had already fallen asleep on Hugo's lap where he had been humming a song to her. I walked to Hugo and carried the sleeping Bethany over my arms."You're putting her to bed?" Hugo asks."Yeah. Looks like she's pretty tired." I answered him."I'll help you." He offers."No. It's fine. Just enjoy your time with Ben. I'll put Bethany to sleep."I walked my way up to Bethany's bedroom while Ben and Hugo were still having a good talk at the living room. I carefully placed her on top of her bed, pulled the blanket up to her chin and kissed her cheek. I went down the stairs again, and heard my boys talking about random stuff that men would talk about. They even mentioned about women and Ben was asking Hugo how he could ask his crush out for a date.Good
CHAPTER 90M I R A N D ABen chuckles. "I just love you both so much. Goodnight dad."Ben stands from the couch and headed to me. He hugged me briefly and kissed my cheek. "Goodnight mom.""Goodnight, son." I kiss his cheek.Ben begins to leave the living room while I was left here alone with Hugo. He stares at me while he licked lips. "Sit with me, Rose." He says, patting the couch gently.I slowly walk my way to him and sat down silently with my knees flexed against my chest, as I wrapped my arms around my legs. I feel Hugo's hand creeping from behind me and his arm wrapping around my waist while he pulls me closer to him."Are you still mad?" He asks.We are facing each other now and his pinkish plump lips are bothering me."Yes." I answer directly.Hugo pouts. "I expected that. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all the years that I've never been with you. I'm sorry for being away and for staying away. I was just insanely jealous with the things that I've been hearing lately."My brows crea
CHAPTER 91M I R A N D AIt's been great since Hugo came in New York, he's been very hands-on in becoming a responsible father to his kids. He drives Ben and Bethany to school and fetches them afterwards, he eats meals with us, he even tutors Bethany and teaches her how to draw, he helps Ben with his math and history too and of course with Claire. He's been a great father to them and I'm happy that he's finally getting the chance to spend time with his kids after he's been gone.As for me, he's been sweet and I couldn't get enough of it as much as he couldn't get his hands and lips off me. We wake up everyday next to each other, we tease each other when the kids are at school or when we just woke up in the morning, he steals kisses from me time to time, we cook together, do groceries together, we make love when the kids are asleep or when they're not around, we shower together and end up getting the kids late for school, he drives me to work even when I’m on night shift and we always
CHAPTER 92H U G OThe sound of the Irish beat began to play throughout the ballroom. This was Ned's jam, it’s like an anthem for him because of the Irish feels and we enjoy singing to this oldie. We started giving out little dances on stage along the song. Ned was beginning to dance his Irish moves and we began to follow his moves. But we sort of looked ridiculous and failed as we begin to laugh at each other.We were getting older and this song kind of speaks to how we are terribly getting fat and old. And I miss being around with the lads like this. I missed sharing the stage with them and just singing our hearts out. I think the audience were laughing with us too, but we were just trying to enjoy the night.When I'm fat and oldAnd my kids think I'm a joke’Cause I move a little slow when I danceI can count on youAfter all that we've been through’Cause I know that you'll always understandI see Rose singing along to the song as she sways her head with the fast beat and I can't
