Narrator’s POV—
Arian was back from school and he has finished his lunch and quickly went to take his nap without having been told. After a long nap he woke up and also finished his milk and with health suppliments without making any faces!
He was eager to go to the park to meet his Dada!
“Les go! Les go ges!!” He was jumping with excitement in his jumpsuit! He wanted to show the new car that his Mommy has bought him last Saturday!
“Alright! Alright! Let’s go!” Grace chuckled seeing his excitement and left for the park holding Arian’s hand tightly! The little boy could be sometimes naughty and Grace was usually always very careful!
They reached the park at four and Anna also came to meet her and Arian. The three played for a long hour but soon Arian grew restless! His Dada was supposed to come but hadn’t! His face turned sad and small tears started to form in his eyes! Seeing him sad, Grace picked him up in her arms and said, “A
Narrator’s POV— When Arian reached the villa, it was nearly five and he immediately started pushing Anna and Grace! “Call Daddy! Call Daddy!” Arian was adamant on his point. “We will. But first let us have some ice cream and play a little!” Anna tried to distract Arian but the little boy won’t listen! Unable to stop him from crying, Anna sighed and dialled Adrian’s personal number from the landline but when the line got disconnected, she realised that Adrian didn’t want to receive the call. Her face turned pale. Arian watched Anna who was sitting beside him on the couch with the cordless in her hand. He thought that Daddy won’t talk to Anna but he would definitely talk to Arian if he called him Daddy! He also knew the redial button on the phones! He has seen his mother press that number many times while she won’t get through calls with Aunty Li or Papa Seb! While Anna was pondering on whether to dial again or not, Arian snatched the phone from
Narrator’s POV— The whole night Emily tossed and turned! She couldn’t sleep at all since her mind was full of worry! Ms Lopez clearly said that she has to reach office by 9 every day and work till six in the evening to make up for the lost time! The bus from her office arrives at six ten and reached at around seven. If any day she missed the six ten bus, the next bus would arrive at six forty and she would not reach before seven twenty or seven thirty! She had managed until now because of the kind man, but what will she do in the future? She doesn’t so much that she could hire a night nanny! After thinking for hours, Emily thought she would meet the man from the Villa and request him, if he can keep Arian for her! Maybe he likes Arian so much that he would agree? If not then she would have to put him in the crèche which would again cost a lot but would be cheaper than hiring another nanny! After an almost sleepless night, Emily woke up a bit ea
Narrator’s POV— “Hello Mr Fox, I am writing this letter to express my eternal gratitude for taking care of my son Arian! Due to recent work pressure, I often come home late and dropping him at the crèche is my last preference. I was running out of option when you and your housekeeper extended help and I really appreciate it. I came to thank you personally but unfortunately you already left for work. I made a chocolate cake for you. I am sure you must be habituated eating food made my skilled chefs but it is my way of thanking you. Kindly accept it. Also, I am ashamed to ask you for a favour but I am anyhow going to ask because I am really out of options at the moment. It would be a great help if Arian could spend sometime in the evening for next few weeks until I figure out another solution for him. Recently my work timing has extended till six in the evening and hence I need a place where Arian can spend an hour or so till I reach home. If he
Narrator’s POV— Adrian was still in the meeting but he was slightly distracted since he was enquiring about Arian’s performance. He would have gone and met the teachers personally but he had an important meeting with some other investors who would be investing in the similar projects of Entertainment park in other countries once the first one in Manhattan is successfully opened! After this he had a meeting with the Marketing team. The head of the department and even the director will be present to present on their progress on the new fashion line launch! The designers were given task to come up with several ideas. Adrian had known this vaguely. Two new suggestions on the fashion line have been chosen by his team. One was dresses for babies that were based on different cultures and traditions of different countries and it was kind of fusion and the other was dresses for special travels and tourism! Adrian liked the ideas and hence they were chosen for t
Narrator’s POV— Adrian’s face though gave away no emotions at all but within he was so stunned that he couldn’t just believe what he heard! All these months when he was desperately searching for his Emily, she was right under his nose?? Emily F Miller! Which clearly means Emily Ford Miller! Has to be her! Can it be so much of a coincidence?? No! Emily Ford Miller, Topper from William Ford Academy! She is one and only, his wife! “Sir? Please! I am requesting you to reconsider!” Jims pleaded when he saw a marginal softness in Adrian’s eyes! Adrian felt irritated! Though he still needed to confirm, yet Mr Jims too much concern for his wife was annoying! Why was he taking so much interest in her? Did they develop a special relation in past years?? Just then Adrian’s desk number rang. “Ms Lopez you may leave!” Adrian ordered and Selina smiled sarcastically at Jims and left! Jims sighed tiredly and stood up when Adrian receive
Narrator’s POV— Adrian’s mind started going crazy with the emotions he was feeling! He was happy, that he has a son and that too he most probably is the same boy who has been calling him Daddy! Maybe it is the attraction of blood that brought them so close! But then again he heard Emily say that his father and Emily are not together and her current partner is very supportive! Who is her current partner? Are they into a relationship? What kind of relationship? His blood suddenly started boiling thinking about another male touching what is his! In the office Peter thought he would ask more because the boss was curious about her family. He still doesn’t understand why his boss is taking so much interest in a woman which is unlike what he has seen! Yet, he cannot defy his boss! “Arian! He is your son Ms Emily?” Peter asked. “Yes. He is my son.” Emily replied with a smile. “Good. And your current partner…is he your husband?” Peter as
Narrator’s POV— Adrian had to suppress his anger temporarily. He knew he has offended and insulted Emily so much that if he tried to claim her now she would run away from him! And he is not ready to lose her again! He quickly showered and changed into his night suit! He would for now enjoy his time with his son! Adrian quickly walked downstairs when Anna came and spoke! “Sir, Arian’s mother has sent some cup-cakes and meatballs. Do you want me to heat them up and serve now?” Anna expected that her boss would again ask her to bring a little for Arian and take away the rest but to her surprise he said without looking at her, “Yes. Bring everything. I am hungry!” Anna was stunned! It has been almost four months that Arian’s mother has been sending different food cooked by her! At least four days in a week she sends something or the other but every time her boss asks her to give a little to Arian and take away the rest! What changed?? Anna
Narrator’s POV— Adrian was in a meeting with the marketing team and the special team formed by him. He wanted to form another team. He thought two teams would be better. One for monitoring the launch of the fashion line which was just before the Christmas and the other for the entertainment park, since it was also about to be opened by end of November, which was just another two months and one week away! Adrian decided that separate teams should focus on separate things and complete the works more efficiently! “What do you suggest Mr Henry?” Henry Wood looked at the CEO and cleared his throat when asked. “It is definitely the best Sir.” Henry replied gulping. Henry has been the general manager in the Company who has been retained by the new CEO but was always on edge when he had a meeting with the CEO! Two reasons; one that the young CEO was ruthless and two that the CEO didn’t bother to reward performers or fire if u
Six months have passed and finally it was a similar night when all the family members were having a fun weekend together. Sebastian and Edith have also joined them! They were engaged now! Adrian clinked his champagne flute with a spoon drawing everyone’s attention as they sat in front of the Cottage in the woods enjoying a nice picnic. “Okay everyone, attention please! Though it has become quite normal for us to have fun on many weekends like this, yet today’s dinner is special because I have a special announcement to make! Emily’s jaws dropped hearing Adrian and she was a blushing mess! Edith who has become close friend to Emily noticed her blushing face and whispered, “Why are you so red?? What’s going on?” “I…” “So, I would like to share a good news with you all and that is……” Adrian looked teasingly at Emily and his heart skipped a few beats seeing her blushing face! “I am ….going to be…a father again!! Emily my beautiful wi
Narrator’s POV—“Daddy! I have never been on an aeroplane! It was so big! We all were flying and then Zooooommm!! And I was feeling tikles………”“Oh yeah?”“Yes! In my stomach! Here……when the plane was moving up”Emily smiled looking at Adrian who walked in front holding Arian in his arms towards the exit. She was behind them. Coming back to Odessa after more than three years now was a very big decision for her! She has many good memories of Odessa. It is the place where she has found Adrian, her lover from her past life! Also it is the place where she has conceived Arian!But at the same time most of the worst memories were also those which she has faced here! The way Adrian treated her when she first arrived in Odessa and then the way he pretended to remember their shared past and love her for months only to throw her out after humiliating her! Even tho
Narrator’s POV—They all saw the only very old picture of Philip which was not quite recognizable though all three of them recognised him clearly! Not only that, his cruel and dirty face stirred a lot of nostalgia and sadness!“For us it is easy but I don’t think it will be that easy for someone who has just seen his picture! That too this kind of black and white old picture!” Adrian said.“It is true. And I don’t think that we should think too much about it now. Anyways, he can be anywhere and anyone! I mean you two are born with the same features but look at me! You guys never would have known about me if I didn’t tell you! God knows how Philip looks! And if by chance Mrs Murdock has really seen him, then it is clear that whenever we come across a person even vaguely similar to him, we should be cautious! That’s all we can do!” Sebastian said.“Yeah….but still seeing
Narrator’s POV—It was nine in the morning when finally Emily woke up yawning and stretching! And as soon as she sat up she moaned sniffing the delicious smell of coffee closing her eyes! Like magic, Adrian walked in through the door with two mugs of steaming coffee in hand. He was wearing a navy blue sweat pants and a white t-shirt. His hair was wet and Emily just kept staring at him! To her it seemed like Adrian was more handsome each time she saw him!“Good morning baby! Did you sleep alright? Or….are you still exhausted from last night???” he winked at Emily before setting the cups on the night stand.“Good morning honey!” Emily blushed pulling the sheet to her neck to cover her naked self better.Adrian chuckled and closed the door before settling down on the bed beside her. “You know you may now relax and leave the bed sheet to hold the coffee mug.”Emily tucked the sheet un
Narrator’s POV— It was midnight when the friends finally decided to sleep. After being requested, Sebastian slept in the guest room in Adrian’s villa instead of going back. Adrian walked Emily upstairs to another room, where Emily could sleep with Arian. Arian was already asleep. “So, I guess, it is a good night then?” Adrian spoke through short breathes as heat between them was very obvious and it made him uncomfortable! He needed Emily in his arms to sleep peacefully! “I guess so. Good night Adrian!” Emily said in a soft whisper, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. She was blushing thinking of the love making that they did in the afternoon! The close proximity of their bodies as they stood facing each other at the door and the mind numbing smell of Adrian’s body was not doing anything good to her! She could feel her wetness already between her legs and it meant another sleepless night! “Okay!” Adrian whispered and pulled her in his embrace, “I
Narrator’s POV—“Emily? You wanted my opinion on what you should do, right?” Sebastian asked looking at the confused Emily who nodded slightly. “Great! Then I need to have a talk with Adrian!” he said and then turning to look at Adrian, he added with a smirk, “Alone!”Sebastian stood up and walked in to the guest room and Adrian followed him quietly. He wanted his life back with his wife and son and if that means he has to tolerate Sebastian, he would! As soon as Adrian entered, Sebastian closed the door and stood in front of Adrian with his arms crossed!“Are you telling the truth, Edward?? Do you really remember your past life?”Adrian though was utterly confused by the Sebastian asked, as if he too knew his past life, yet he nodded and hissed through his gritted teeth, “Yes! I remember F*cking everything!”Sebastian’s face was calm and his eyes were coldl
Narrator’s POV—Adrian couldn’t help the grin on his face to appear, after Emily left the room. He then got dressed too and walked out of the bedroom to join Emily and Arian. Arian’s nanny was there so it means something was urgent!But as soon as he climbed down the stairs, he found no one around! The villa was empty and except for the warmth of his wife’s and son’s presence and the smell of the lunch, there was nothing left!“Arian? Mily?” Adrian looked around for them but they weren’t in the hall or the room where Emily slept last night! Then suddenly he noticed a note on the table.‘Seb has arrived early. I am going back to my apartment. Lunch is made for you and I will be back in the evening and make coffee for you! If you need before I return, fetch it from the café or make it yourself.Emily’Adrian’s face became dark at the mention of another
Narrator’s POV—“You and I will talk about this later! But right now, where will I get clothes to wear?” Emily was angry that despite there being clothes of her size in the house, she was directed to a closet with Adrian’s clothes and hence she had to wear an overlarge t-shirt and just her used panties! Also, she was hurt thinking if Adrian was really in love with her now, remembered his past and came for her, then why would he have women’s clothes in his house?“Alright. Come here.” Adrian pulled her to the other end of the room where there was another door. He slid it open and behind that was another walk-in closet. “Here. This is my side of the closet and there, that side is yours.”Emily was stunned seeing so many clothes starting from dresses, skirts, shirts, various tops, gowns, night wears, lingerie, shoes, purses and even jewellery! All were brand new and unused. Emily wanted to co
Narrator’s POV— Emily noticed how Adrian limped to the stairs. His clothes looked messy and dusty. She was worried but Adrian didn’t reply to her when she wanted to know what happened! Sebastian called earlier and he was supposed to reach in the afternoon and hence Emily decided to finish cooking lunch and then would go to her apartment to change and also receive Sebastian. She was almost done cooking because Adrian left angrily and returned one and a half hour. Should she go after him and check on him? She stood biting her lips unable to decide. ‘No! If he doesn’t want to tell me, why should I be so bothered? I shouldn’t get too attached.’ – Emily thought and decided to turn off the oven and leave. It was already 12 in the noon and Sebastian should be reaching anytime soon! Emily returned to the kitchen where the curry was on simmer and turned off the oven. “Ian? Can you go and ask Daddy if he needs coffee or something else to
