It's said that after the first win, you have to pick the prize and leave.
But that has always been the difficult part. Even though it will rip you off and leave you bankrupt, there's that fun part that will keep pulling you in greedily for more.
When he walked into Blackmore Corp that fateful day, he only wanted to confront Richard. He was clueless as to how best to make him pay for soiling his name until she kissed him and he got a plan.
The plan was to throw their perfect life in disarray then walk away innocently without giving a fuck. Nothing less nothing more. He wasn't going to be a bloody villain.

Minutes of remaining in the same position in utter shock, she finally recovered and thought of what to do.She went for her phone and dialed her doctor's number, hands trembling."Hello, Dr. Martens.""There you finally called. I've been waiting for you to call me since the day I sent the results. Congratulations, my dear.""I never had sex, Dr. Martins. How did I get pregnant." She asked woefully."Oh, my dear. Don't tell me you forgot what you and your husband did.""Oh shit!" She instantly remembered. "It worked?" Her tears spill."I was certain it would.""Oh God, I'm so screwed. Can I come over for a confirmation check-up?"

Of all the things that occurred, he was still that complete paragon in pulchritude.She didn't even blink once as she looked at him."Hi." He whispered in that rare English baritone voice of his. A voice she'd die to hear over and over again.Her eyes fell on the hand he had placed on hers then back to his face. Slowly, she took her hand from his."Sorry." He muttered and kept his hands away. "How are you doing?""Who are you?" She asked instead and got up to a sitting position."Excuse me." His brows furrowed.

He rushed forward and took her into his arms but she pushed him away with all the strength she could muster."Don't pet me. Do I look like I can't handle the loss of a fetus? I lost three big babies and I am still holding up fine.""This one is innocent." He pointed out."You're bent on making me miserable aren't you?" She blinked back tears. She sat crossed-legged on the bed, dropped her gaze, and picked at the frayed hems of the hospital clothes worn on her."I just want to say it's okay to feel pain but let it loose. Don't hold it in.""Stop acting as if you know me and get the h

"Yes. The fool, he really forgot.""What could have been his triumph card?"She looked up at him and smiled. He's spitting out her thoughts effortlessly without even knowing.Even though it hurt her that she lost the baby before even coming to terms with the fact, a little part of her was glad after this revelation.After all that she has done with Wilhelm, she couldn't think of bringing it to an end just so she could be with Richard and neither did she want Richard to connect to her in any way. The baby would have made it difficult to get rid of him for good.Maybe there's a blessing in every

"I'm just gonna come back later." Ara finally said and left."I was wondering why nobody walked in any sooner." She smiled but it was sad."Leave it to my sister to interrupt things.""When am I leaving here?""The doctor wouldn't tell us.""Can you get her for me? I prefer to be treated at home.""Sure." He got down from the bed and wore his sneakers.He was just in a simple slim-fit chino and gray Lacoste shirt but trust him to look good in anything.She watched him recede until he almost reached the door but stopped. He turned and began to walk back to her.

As she wiped her hands, her eyes remained on the ringing phone. She had just stepped out of the shower when it began to ring.After thoroughly drying her hand, she tapped on the green button and placed it on a loudspeaker."Karen?" Dennis's voice croaked through the phone's speakers."Yes, Dennis. Is everything alright?"" Yes. I just called to ask if you would like to join us for dinner at the Abbey's tonight.""How's Destiny?" She first asks, wondering why he'd think of dining when his granddaughter is still fighting to live."She was discharged yesterday so it means she's getting well isn't it?""Yes. I'm glad to hear." She responded in a melanch

While Wilhelm helped chop the vegetables for dinner, he felt his mother's eyes on him most of the time. When he could take it no longer, he looked up."What?" He questioned."Nothing.""If it's nothing then why do you keep looking at me?""Just check if they are in yet. I feel they are."He dropped the knife, wiped his hands clean, and gave his mom one suspicious look before sauntering out rather eagerly.His heart did a weird flip when his eyes met her. In the middle of the living room where the couches were laid, sat her. She was sitting with Charles, her grandfather, and Arabella in the living room.For a moment, he just stared at the lady in between h

“Hi.” She squeaked in a mixture of fake excitement and genuine nervousness. “I trust things are going well for you in London.

It's just…”“Just what?” He cuts her off.“Nothing.”“Nothing? Did you realize that you're ghosting me? How would you have felt if I was the one doing that to you?”“It's not me, and I know you don't give a fuck.”“Are you shitting me? How haven't you seen that I care for you?”“Care? But you don't love me.”“That's not what we're talking about.”“Really?”“You said you'll wait. You said you'll give it time.”“Oh, and then you expected me to have hope and wait when you're literally going back into the arms of your ex-girlfriends?”“What?”“ I don't want any heartbreaking surprises, and that's why I'm l

..........The buzzing of her phone woke her up. She blindly searched for it and when she finally got a hold of it, she answered without looking at the ID."I'm still in..." She was mumbling when she got cut off."Hi Des, it's...wait. Were you saying you're still in bed?"Destiny got up to a sitting position and begrudgingly rubbed her eyes. "Ara?""Yes, baby."Destiny rolled her eyes. "You sound cheery.""Of course. Wanna guess it?""You know I just woke up. My brain needs time before it starts functioning.""I'll buy your excuse.""So?""I'm going on a date.""Oh wow. You found someone or it's a man.""I found someone.""That's wonderful Ara. I'm really happy for you." Destiny got out of the bed, fully woken by Ara's good news."It doesn't mean I'm over you. I still love you, Des."Destiny sighed. It's been months and yet she's still saying that."My

.......After seven hours, her system automatically became restless. He started expecting a call or text from him.Slowly, the sun hid back behind its clouds and she was about to retire to bed herself.But could she sleep without talking to him?Her phone was beside her and she kept checking it every second. Every message tone, every incoming call sent her jumping up to reach her phone only to be disappointed.At eleven, she began to force herself to sleep as she was no longer sure he'd call her. Midnight and she was still struggling to sleep.She placed the phone on the bedside table and disappeared under the covers, shutting her eyes tight.It's not been a day since he left yet she miss him, so much.

"Whatever you do, make sure you don't miss Christmas with me." She brushed her thumb over his beautiful lips while staring deep into his blue-green eyes.She feels so weak and helpless."I won't." He kissed her thumb."Come back soon." She whispered, her voice threatening to break."I will."She dropped her thumb, tightened their entwined hands, and leaned into him, resting her head against his arm.Sooner or later, she'd have to say goodbye and she's not ready for that.

The moment the elevator dinged, her heart leaped along with it but she didn't flinch and pretended to be engrossed. The closer his steps got, the more his fragrance filled her nostrils. Her insides tightened in excitement. He closed earlier than usual today. "Mmm...what is it you're reading?" He came around and kissed the corners of her lip. "Why do you wanna know? You never cared." She asked, smiling but never looking up from the book. "I've seen you go from scared to happy, in love and despair. More of despair. You've cried a bucket full already. I can't take it." He pitched in a sorrowful tone.

Destiny invited a waiting Ara to have breakfast with them. A very awkward breakfast.When it was over she asked Ara to her room but she declined."Outside then?""Is there not a seat on the balcony?""There is." Destiny breathed, clutching to the sides of her dress.When they got there, Destiny sat on the wicker chair, expecting her to join her but she didn't.The early morning sun of mid-July warmed Destiny's skin to the point of scorching. July weather in America has always been harsh. She looked down from the blinding sunlight while waiting for Ara to speak.Ara stood against the railings and placed her hand on it while her eyes remained below, taking in the
