How could he lose her? Within a blink, he had planned to tell Barbara his true feelings for her, he had the ring already, he just wanted to tell her, his feelings and then marry her straight. Only for him to return with this big blow right on his face, he is bleeding inside and outside.Peter had teased him earlier that he was too slow, he flashed back to the day, he bought the ring before his trip.****Flashbacks****"Are you buying that? Don't tell me, you finally want to settle down.""Can you stop talking nonsense? I have always wanted to get married, is just that I am waiting for Barbara." Peter looks at him."Are you saying Barbara is ready now? She too wants to marry you?""Why do I feel you are mocking
Kathleen had been indoors since she arrived at the hospital, and she was practically sulking, Aria pushed the door to Kathleen's room, and seeing the face of Aria, she frowned."Don't you know how to knock?" Kathleen yelled at Aria."Sorry, I will just knock." She walked out and hit the door but Kathleen didn't ask her to come in, at the fourth knock, she let herself in."You should know I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to see the face of anyone, especially you.""I want to talk to you, I want to ask for your opinion about something." Kathleen looks at Aria, then moves her eyes to the couch, instead of Aria taking the couch like she normally does, she moves to the bed, that Kathleen is lying on."I didn't ask you to sit on my bed, I said take the couch.""I prefer here, I want to breathe the same air as you, and I want to have close skin contact with you."Kathleen looks at her, and she poutes."You should stop doing that.""I look terrible in it, right?" Aria asked."Saying t
Aria and Kathleen ended up sleeping on the same bed, Cole admires his two daughters, for years he had hoped that they get to know each other and live as siblings do, even though they are not from the same mother, he doesn't want the two to be like Barbara and Claudia, his friend's daughter, they were siblings yet more like enemies.After Riley tells him about his intentions for Aria, he is happy and still afraid, that his two daughters might not get the opportunity to make amends. Yet fate is on his side."Father!" Aria called, she was the first one to open her eyes."Shh! Look how naughty the girl is." Atty Cole points at the sleeping Kathleen."She is more beautiful and calm in her sleep," Aria added."Maybe, we should make her keep sleeping.""I heard that," Kathleen said opening her eyes."Silly!""Good morning Dad!""Good morning my lovely daughter." Aria looks at her father."Stop looking at me, you are my daughter, my youngest daughter.""Hm! I have heard, I go to my room now an
"You might think he is an asshole, he is everything bad, even if I try to convince you that he is nothing of that, you will not believe me, all I could say is that he loves you.""Then what will I be to him? A home wrecker? A second wheel? I don't see the love there, if he loved me, he would not have hurt me, he would have told me that he loved me and not trying to get engaged to his fiancee."For the first time Dante laughed, Kathleen was jealous, she looked at him."You are jealous?" Dante asked."No, I am not, it's not my business what he does with his life. And please, I don't want to sound rude but please no more of Jayden, I am tired.""Fine, I will respect your decision, but I can see in your eyes that you missed him, you can't stay without him just as he can't stay without you. You can't deny or hide it, you long for him. So before you finally pass your judgment, you should hear him out, but not to worry, he is trying to right his wrong.""I will think about it. She let out a s
"Yes, do not be speechless, I Know that you are shocked, you aren't expecting my reaction to be like this, but what can I do? What do you expect me to do?"She managed to compose herself, but she is finding it difficult with Jayden's eyes, she move her gaze from Jayden and then move to the window, she want the wind to take away all her pains.'It's been a long time, and I have almost forgotten how it's too long for someone, to be loved by someone. To long for yourself or the one that you love not for your parents. To wish, to cry, to be happy because of your heart's desires.""Gracy, I still think that there are people, who are out there, capable of being loved."'What about me? Am I not capable of being loved? I am not all that bad, am I? Do I look incapable of being loved?" Now her voice betrayed her, those emotions she tried to keep inside, even though she seemed unaffected."I know you don't love me and you never love me but still, you agree to marry me, why?""Don't you think it's
