"The 2002, if you have it" I modify the order.
"Because the 2002 and is so much better than the 2003" he rolls his eyes.
"To the discerning palate, Mr Trev" I grin, using the words Chris himself had said to me once.
"You have a very discerning palate, Mrs Trev" he laughs.
"That I do"
Emily is the first to get up to hug Crystal and Chris. We take turns hugging the couple.
"Congratulations, Crystal" I clutch her in a fierce hug.
"Way to go, champ" I give Chris a brief hug and a pat in the back.
"About earlier..." He starts but I cut him off "I know... The ring"
He nods and grins widely.
Anthony congratulates the couple after me.
The waiter has returned with the champagne which he goes ahead to open with a flourish.
Anthony holds his champagne flute aloft "To Chris and Crystal-Congratulations"
We all raise our

Anthony joins me on the dance floor and it's liberating-fun. He whirls me around with consummate skill, making me graceful, sexy even as he goes.He makes me feel loved but how can that be? He doesn't even like my type if women, he prefers the blondes.These thoughts make me a little exhausted and I'm grateful when the song morphs into another one."Can we sit?" I gasp."Sure" He leads me off the dance floor."Ugh, I'm all hot and sweaty now" I whisper as we return to the table.A lascivious smile tugs at his lips. The hungry look in his eyes unfurls something deep down in my groin.I look away hastily and try to steady my breathing.At the dance floor, Chris and Crystal are being rather indecent. I wonder why they've not been thrown out yet.Suddenly, I'm tired and I want nothing more than to go home and curl up in bed."Can we go?" I ask Anthony."Yes, let's go" he answers. Chris and Crystal join us

When I wake up, I'm warm...too warm. Anthony has his head on my shoulder, the demarcation I made out of couch pillows has been destroyed and the pillows now lay all around on the bed, some on the floor.Anthony has his legs threaded through mine and his arm wrapped around my waist, his soft breathing fans my neck as he sleeps.I've seen this in a movie once or twice. I should scream and push him off me but I can't. This isn't too uncomfortable, actually it's pretty comfortable.I try real hard not to move, aware that if I do he'll wake up and I don't think he gets enough sleep.Hazily, my mind wanders through the events of yesterday. It was really nice of Anthony to get my friends over just to make me happy.Did Stella and Emily come all the way from Portland just for this? My brother was in town but I'm not sure about Chris and Crystal. Did everyone come rushing over just for me?

"Hey, sleepyhead" Anthony wakes me by shaking me gently "We're about to land. Buckle up"I fumble sleepily for my seat belt but Anthony fastens it for me."Thanks" I mutter sleepily.A long hike and a picnic lunch on a beautiful mountain have left me an exhausted mess.I glance at Amanda. I wonder how her campaign with Luke is going. My eyes find hers and she gives me a small, sad smile before going back to looking through a magazine she picked up earlier.I shift my gaze to Anthony. He looks serious as ever, reading through a contract and annotating the margins. He works way too much.I shift my gaze to Liam. I think he feels my eyes in him because he looks to me. I give him a small are-you-okay smile and he shrugs lightly in response.Chris is snoring softly next to Crystal.The female pilot flying with Scott announces our approach to the airport and Anthony grasps my hand...a kind gesture I'm indeed grateful for.~∆~

I march right into Anthony's office without even knocking."Ms. Hart. How rude" he shakes his head."It's Mrs Trevelyan" I take off my employee ID.He stares blankly at me."You can't fire Brianna and Ethan" I say. It comes out more authoritatively than I meant but I couldn't care less." 'course I can" he shrugs "it's my company""Brianna. She needs this job. She has an older sister who's really sick. She pays her hospital bills and a lot of other bills. She can't afford to lose this job""She should have thought about that before messing around with another employee" he's cold- nothing like the Anthony I spent the weekend with."We're married, yes?" I attack his direct contradiction of his policy "I have a job here. Does that count as messing around with an employee?""That's different""Oh, really? Diff

"So you don't want to help me?" I croak, having barely recovered from my shock."Don't get me wrong. I only help people who need help and want to be helped. You seem perfectly fine to me" she shrugs, unapologetically."Are you sure you're a psychologist?" I ask, perplexed "cos I've seen twelve of those and they sure as hell see something wrong with me""Let's just say, I've had different training" she smiles "I know what it feels like to have a parent hurt you bad and half blame yourself for the mess they caused""Wow" I breathe, liking her already."I'm not gonna try and help you because you're not broken, Jade but I am gonna pull you out of that dark, scary haven you have made for yourself"Wow, she really gets it."And if I can't get out of it?" I ask, quietly.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by a voice next to me."I hate seeing you so sad" Anthony says.Why the hell is he here?"How did you find me?" I frown."I called Liam" he says and it's enough explanation.My brother knows me well enough to know that the first place I'll go when I'm upset is the beach."How did you know I'll be in this exact one though?""I didn't" he says simply "I checked all"What?"You singlehandedly scanned every beach in New York?" I snort."Not singlehandedly" he shrugs "Olivia, what happened?""Nothing" I say and shift my gaze to the ocean.Looking at the waters, I realize that I've not looked at the ocean since I got here."This isn't nothing. Olivia, please talk to me" he pleads."Why?" My voice is low but my tone

"So, it was you" he half laughs"I'm sorry" I laugh."Do you really have a tattoo on your boob, though?" He asks."Nope""So you lied" he shakes his head."I'm sorry" I say again."You said something to me" he squints his eyes, trying to recall "What was it again?""Always expect the worst" we say at the exact same time then I burst out in laughter."There was a reason for that though" I say."Oh, really. Let's hear it""I realized early in life that if you expect the worst and the worst happens, you're still happy because you predicted correctly and if something better than the worst happens you're happy because... Obviously, something went good. It's a win win, always win situation."He stares at me in bewilderment."What?" I ask, a grin plastered on my face."How did you come to that conclusion?""Well, I don't know... Life happened, I guess" I shrug then something strikes me.

The rest of the week goes by really quickly.It's Thursday evening and Amanda is helping me get ready for dinner with Mrs. Kavanagh and her family."You prefer it up or down?" Amanda asks as she pulls my hair up then down again and I watch her through the mirror."Which do you think is better?" I ask."I like it down" she replies."Then down it is" I shrug.I'm wearing a nice, simple, flowery short gown with my new flats and my hair has been curled by Amanda and now cascades down my back."You look beautiful" Amanda says, admiring her handwork."Thank you" I say just as a knock is heard on the door."Come in" I call. Anthony pushes through the door."Hi" I say."Hi" he replies and that's it. He just stays there staring."So?" I prompt, though I'm enjoying his eyes scanning me multiple times."They're here" he says recovering."Kay. I'll be down in a second" I reply and watch as he turns

"Rise and shine, you big baby"I'm awoken by Anthony trailing soft kisses all over my face."What a pleasant way to be woken up" I grin "You have my approval to wake me up like this every morning, dear husband"Or is it husband to be now?"I'll be sure to remember that, beautiful wife but right now, you need to take a shower" He pulls me to a sitting position."Need to?" I say, putting a hand to chest in mock horror "so you're saying I stink""I'm just saying" he shrugs, smirking "I know someone who would gladly give you good bath""Oh, really? Just make sure it's a hot guy then we're good" I smile and give him a quick peck on the lips."I think you'll like him very much" he says, pulling me back and deepening the kiss."Will I?" I murmur against his lips."I think you will"Without taking his lips off mine, he lifts me and with me in his arms, he climbs off the bed.Putting me down, he pulls away.

After two more days at the hospital, I'm allowed to go home.Anthony and I stopped by at Liam's apartment first to grab a few things I need.As we approach the mansion gate, it's getting dark outside, memories start to flood my mind and tears spring to my eyes."What's wrong, baby?" He asks, quietly, noticing my change in mood."Nothing" I shake my head, trying and failing to stop my tears from rushing down."Tell me" he orders."It's... Just that the...um, the last time I was here...oh, Anthony, I'm so sorry" I unfasten my seatbelt and turn to face him "...It was so stupid of me to leave you for so long just because... I'm sorry for my childish attitude""Hey, hey" he pauses to give a nod of acknowledgement to the staffs that bow their head in gesture of a greeting "your childish attitude is exactly what got me so into you"A huge grin takes over my tear-stained face "Mr. Trev, are you saying you're into me?" I muse.

There's pain everywhere. Everywhere and everything hurts.I try to move my hands, then my legs but nothing moves. I can't open my eyes either. I hear hushed whispers. I try to make out what they're saying."Her ribs are bruised and she has a hairline fracture to her skull but her vital signs are stable""Why is she unconscious?" Anthony says, his voice filled with agony that makes me want to jump up and give him a hug."Mrs Trevalyan has suffered a major contusion to her head but her brain activity is normal. Just give it some time. She'll wake up soon"Where's Emerald? What happened to my baby?I helplessly try to say something, open my eyes but it's hopeless.A few seconds filled with pain later, unconsciousness starts to claim me again, stealing me away from the pain.I wake again.

Violet ventures into the room with a wicked smile on her face."Where's my daughter?" I spit "It's been hours""Relax" she smirks "you'll get to hold your daughter for the last few minutes of your miserable life"I want nothing more than to slap the stupid smirk off her face as she moves closer to me."Violet" I groan."Shut up, b***h" her hand makes contact with my cheek, hard.I wince a little but cover it up and say, dryly "Wow, Violet, you been practicing that, haven't you? I must admit, you've gotten a bit better""I've gotten a lot better, you a*****e" she raises her hand again and this time strikes hard on my other cheek."Just a reminder, I can beat you to a pulp easily" I smirk back."Do that" she pauses, narrowing her eyes at me "and you'll never see your beloved Emerald again"Touché.

As we exit the bank, we spot the van almost immediately with a lady whose hair is pulled up in a tight ponytail just like mine standing next to it typing away on her phone.As we approach, she raises her head and smiles smugly at the sight of us."I'll take those" she says to the clerks as she opens up the trunk.She stretches out her hand and the clerks look to me for permission.I nod and they hand her the bags one after the other."Great, let's go" she says, icily and I take a deep breath."Thanks a lot" I say to the clerks "I appreciate your help and promise to make it up to you soon"They both nod and scurry off into the bank."Get in" The lady spits, harshly.I rush quickly into the vehicle and slide the door shut."Phone" she groans like I'm stupid.I hand her a phone and she tosses

It's almost eleven a.m as I drive over to Anthony's house to get the chequebook.A few of the staffs who look very surprised to see receive me rather warmly and offer to call Anthony to let him know I'm here.I dismiss them as quick as I could without being rude then quickly make my way to Anthony's home office.It's only when I'm trying to open the drawers, do I realize that I'm shaking with panic.Okay, deep breaths. Relax. You're going to save Emerald.I wrench open one drawer after the other in search of the chequebook.I soon find the right drawer. There are about five chequebooks. Looking through each one, I find the one which has Mr A. Trevalyan and Mrs J. Trevalyan.Now, to go save my baby.Wait, how the hell am I going to carry the money. It must a lot of cash. I'm gonna need a bag or two? How big is five million dollars anyway?I take a deep breath and in a more composed manner, I stride to the bedroom I shared

"You're not going, of course you're not so...we...we should call the boss...tell..." Amanda starts as soon as I end the call with Violet."I'm going" I say simply and she turns red."What...what did you just say? 'Cause I heard something like...""That's what I said, Amanda. I'm going to meet up with Violet" I say again, with confidence.I'm getting my baby back."You can't do that. She won't give her back to you. We have to call the boss, he'll know what to do" she frowns."Anthony?" I spit the name, bitterly "Didn't you hear him? He hates me. He won't care""He doesn't hate you" she argues "...and obviously, he'll care very much"I don't see just how that is obvious but I say nothing.The notification sound goes off on my phone.

It's only 6 in the morning and I've given Emerald a bath, clothed her and I've had my bath and packed my bags, ready to be picked up by Anthony.I decided to feed Emerald the formula I used to feed her through the feeding tube back at the hospital instead of breast milk so I'm in the kitchen preparing that.I'm done. I rinse my hand and after putting the lid on tight, I rinse the feeding bottle too then using a napkin, I wipe it dry.Then I skip happily to my room where Emerald lies awaiting her food.I walk through the door and take a sit on the bed next to her cradle.Putting the feeder on the bed, I reach out to grab Emerald but she's not there.My baby's not in her cradle, I can't find her. Panicked tears start to rush down my cheeks.Where's my baby?I look up and there's a broken window. How did I not hear that break? Someone kidnapped my child.Oh, no. Emerald. I don't know what to do.
