His mom stood up and walked toward "You are welcome," she said. Her gaze suddenly fell on her. "She is?" She asked as she looked at her with a gentle look. "My wife," he introduced. His dad was drinking water before, but he suddenly threw up the water inside his mouth and choked. "Cough Cough" "What is your name, dear?" His mom asked with a gentle look, not sparing her husband a glance. "Sylvia. Sylvia Adams," Sylvia responded. She felt nervous at her gentle look and clasped her hands nervously. "Nice name you have there, darling," his mom complimented. Sylvia blushed. "Thanks, Aunty." She thanked her shyly. "You are already married, but you are still calling me Aunty. Hmm?" His mom teased her. Sylvia was dumbfounded. ‘Then what should she call her?’ She thought. His mom saw her looking clueless; all her thoughts were written all over her face. She does not know how to hide her expression. But she still felt that she was being too honest. His mom stretched
Sylvia was suddenly surrounded by water in her dreams. "Help me…help me.." Sylvia was trying hard to breathe, struggling with her hands like someone drowning, trying to grab something. Her voice sounded desperate. Stephan was about to put his hand behind her back to console her, Sylvia grabbed his arms. She looked relieved, she was soaked in sweat. Stephan frowned a little. He was a little curious about what her nightmare was but he couldn't ask her. She was sound asleep again. He tried to remove his hand from her hand but she held his hand tighter. "I'm sorry.. I won't do it again…" She whispered, her voice sounded sad. Stephan stopped moving and let her just hold his arms. … Sylvia woke up the next day feeling refreshed, she took her bath and wore a casual clothes. She carried her bag and walked out of her room. She has work to do today, the leave she took will be deducted from her salary. The moment she walked out of her room, Stephan also walke
She asked as she looked around the restaurant. The restaurant was still a little empty because it was still early in the morning. So people have not started coming like normal. But Her partner had already started making the food. While Sylvia cleaned the table, as time went on, Customers started coming in one by one to eat. “Sylvia.” The manager called her from behind. Sylvia turned her head and looked back. "Manager,” she said, and she walked towards him respectfully. "Go to room 9 and attend to the VIP customers there,” the manager said to her. Sylvia nodded. "Okay, sir,” she said with a smile. Sylvia walked towards the counter and took the book menu. She walked towards the room and walked in. The man sitting down, his back was facing her, so she did not see her face. “This is the menu here. What are your orders, Sir?” Sylvia asked respectfully. The man suddenly turned and faced her. Sylvia was stunned when she saw the man’s face. Sylvia's heart raced as the man turned to
“Do you vow to stand by Sylvia to support and protect her and to be your partner in good health and bad?” The pastor’s voice echoed in the silent hall.There was a pause in the hall. Sylvia's eyes shone with happiness as she gazed at Nicole, her expectant look palpable. But Nicole's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowing as he clenched his hand and drummed his fingers with an anxious intensity.Sylvia's heart raced with anticipation, every second feeling like an eternity.Just as he was about to respond, his phone rang. He hesitated for a few seconds, then pulled it out of his pocket. “Hello?”The hall fell silent; all eyes were fixed on Nicole.He spoke up again after a few seconds. “I’m on my way now.” He spoke the words quickly, his hand dipping back into his pocket with a soft jingle of keys. As Nicole turned to leave, his eyes flashed , and Sylvia felt a shiver run down her spine. She hoped it is not her dreams coming to pass.Sylvia's hand shot out, grasping his arm. “Whe
Sylvia stepped into the familiar lobby of her father’s house. She entered and saw her stepmother and stepsister in the living room. Sylvia looked around, wondering where her father was.Victoria and Emily gazed up from the couch, their eyebrows furrowed in exaggerated worry. ''Oh, Sylvia, dear, what happened?' Victoria asked, her voice sugary sweet, her eyes gleaming with a calculating intensity. Emily nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with malice.Sylvia already knew that they didn’t like her and were just pretending whenever her father was around, and they acted and treated her very well whenever her father was around too. “Oh, my bad. I forgot that you were left by your supposed husband on the altar inside the hall.” Victoria's voice was a masterclass in insincere empathy, her words dripping with honeyed concern as she cooed, 'Sylvia, darling, you must be heartbroken!' But Sylvia heard the faintest hint of a smirk beneath the surface, a telltale sign that Victoria was secre
Sylvia gasped for breath as she hurried towards the forest, her mind racing with uncertainty about Nicole's cryptic message and the possibility of him postponing the wedding.. The thought sent a thrill of hope through her—she'd be overjoyed if the wedding was truly rescheduled.She got to the oak tree and sat down beneath it as she looked around. Nicole hadn't arrived yet, and Sylvia was not in a hurry and was ready to wait for him.Sylvia had sneaked out of the house without her father's knowledge, forgetting to grab warm clothes. Now, she shivered in the chill, her thin garments offering little protection against the biting cold. She wrapped her hands around herself as she shivered. The cold made her eyes red, and she thought about the picture Tendy sent her, of Nicole in the hospital.She wondered if Tendy had sent the message using Nicole's phone.As the hours ticked by, Sylvia's anxiety grew. She checked her phone for what felt like the hundredth time, her eyes scanning the scr
Sylvia raised an eyebrow when she saw the familiar features. “It is you,” She said softly.The man raised an eyebrow when he heard this. “Yes you were probably fascinated by my looks that you fainted out of shock. Now I have no choice but to carry you back to my place” He said with a deep voice.Sylvia's eyes narrowed, her eyebrows furrowed, and she gazed at him with an intensity that made her eyes flash. “What do you mean?” She asked glaring at him. ‘Why is he so flirty?’ She pitied his girlfriend, if he had one, and wondered why he was so flirtatious.“The food is ready, master,” the maid said.The man looked at Sylvia with a smile on his face. “Let’s go and eat instead of you looking at me” He said with a winkSylvia shook her head and followed him into the dining room.Sylvia entered the dining room, her dress rustling softly on the polished wood floor. The aroma of roasted vegetables and fresh bread wafted from the table, tantalizing her taste buds. Her stomach growled in antici
Sylvia turned around, her eyes narrowing as she took in Emily's curious expression. Sylvia calmed down when she saw that it was Emily, she rolled her eyes when she heard this “Who is who? She asked. “The owner of that car? Did you find another replacement so quickly?” She asked, raising her eyebrow enviously, she wondered how Sylvia was always able to get so many rich men. “I don’t know him,” Sylvia said calmly as she walked away. Emily's long strides devoured the distance between them, her deliberate movements a stark contrast to Sylvia'- calm demeanor, as she blocked Sylvia path. ''You got out of his car, didn't you?' Emily accused, her voice trembling with a mix of jealousy and envy. “Get out of the way” Sylvia said growling, she was already tired and did not have time for Emily dramas. Emily frowned unwillingly too. “Who is he?” She was adamant. Sylvia already had enough of her dramas and questions so she pushed her away gently, Emily suddenly fell down on the floor
