Arabella. I’ve felt this before. This heart-racing, breath-stopping body-numbing sensation. The moment when your whole world has been ripped away from you and you’re suddenly falling, knowing there’s nothing at the bottom to catch you. Save you. Feeling like the whole breath inside you has been kno
I moved to the side and he took a step sideways too, he wouldn’t stop no matter how many times I glared or yelled at him to stop pulling attention to us. Some people were already glancing our way including his grandfather and I hate to know that Ashton would see us in this position and assume the wo
Arabella. Ashton angrily dragged me to the car, he was aggressive but tried not to show it since we were still at the party ground. He led me to the front of the building as we waited for his driver, minutes later the car parked in front of us. I stepped in before him and without another word, th
Gosh, it has been a rollercoaster night, and just when I thought I could have a little peaceful time Ashton wanted a fight. “Don’t turn this on me Arabella, this isn’t about me.” He snapped. “Really? Then what’s it about?” “It’s about you and that damn grandson of Mr Castillo. I saw the way he wa
Arabella. I looked at the bed we share as husband and wife then at my husband who acts impassively. “Ashton….” The whole look on his face made every word I intended to say go back in. Right now I was scared, scared of what he would do if I didn’t do as he’d said. I wasn’t going to disobey him(I w
Arabella. The bright sunlight from the windows peered into the room, I groaned and touched the other side of the bed hoping to feel my husband's skin again after such a long time. My eyes snapped open when I found it empty, I blinked and looked around but there wasn’t any sight of Ashton anywhere.
Arabella. After saying that the whole place went silent, Lily and her mother stopped eating while Ashton glared at me. “What did you just say?” He asked, with blazing eyes. I opened my mouth but no words came out, the courage I had had suddenly disappeared. “Repeat what you just fucking said Ara
Alejandro. The universe really has a way of fucking you up. It has a way of playing with your emotions, bringing you down, and making you feel unwanted only to have someone you love slipping away from your fucking hands. The universe has a way of fucking with you, it can give you love and happines
Agnes. Life isn’t fair. Life is fucking cruel. But we only get this one, so we have to make it count. You can’t dwell in the past, you look ahead, count your blessings, and plan for the future. That is what someone close to me always tells me. At first, I thought it was bullshit but now I can se
It was almost seven and I didn’t want to go home now. “I don’t know, anywhere my legs take me to,” I answered with a shrug. We kept walking without saying anything for a while, just enjoying the silence and the cold air. “What you did back there was badass Ara,” he said and my lips curled up in a
Arabella. He thought I couldn’t do it. He was edging me, thinking I was all bark and no bite but then I proved him wrong. “Everyone, I would like you to meet my husband and his mistress!” I said, yelling at the top of my voice so it would attract the attention of everyone in the restaurant. And
“No, this one is more than a thief. He’s a fucking cheater.” Okay with those words I needed no one to tell me whom he was talking about. My whole body tensed as the familiar scent of his cologne wafted into my nose. He’s here. “Woah, Ara you didn’t tell me his mistress is a human Barbie,” Dan spo
Arabella. It wasn’t working, none of the plans in my head worked. After doing everything I thought would work including threatening him that still didn’t get Ashton to sign the fucking papers. I mean, why wouldn’t he just sign so we can both be free? He has his mistress living with him already so
Arabella. I got home fuming, I couldn’t believe Alejandro could say such a thing; offer me a job out of pity because he’s aware of my father's condition. If he thinks that would make me accept his offer then he’s wrong, I would rather remain like this or even go out there and work a different job f
Alejandro. It was like fate was giving me signs that this could work again, that whatever Ellie and I had in the past could happen again and I'm starting to believe that. Seeing Ellie here in my office was coincidental, hell I had no idea she was going to be among one of the applicants. I should h
Arabella. I stood in front of the building where I would be doing my second interview for the day, the building was larger than the rest I had been to. The name of the building ‘Andro’s Corp.’ was boldly written at the top in a beautiful golden letter that shone so brightly with the sun facing it.
Arabella. “Miss Owen, this is attorney Cheryl,” Cheryl said as soon as I picked up the call. “I know Cheryl. How did it go?” I asked, balancing the phone between my ear and my shoulder as I opened the door of the taxi. The wait intensified as I waited for her answer. Cheryl called me two days ag
