Arabella. I carried my tired and battered body out of the grocery shop to my car, the bag of foodstuff in my hands didn’t do well to help me. It added more burden than relief to me. I let out another sigh as I placed the three bags in one hand and then tried to open my car door with the other. It
Arabella. I found myself making the croissants and vegetable salad just as they requested, I couldn’t disagree more not after Ashton threatened me with cutting the funds. Ashton decided to also eat from the croissant. I mixed the dough and rolled it as I stared at the wall clock. It was almost eig
Arabella. Morning came too quickly and although I still needed much sleep I carried my tired self to the kitchen. I prepared breakfast for them, didn’t care to ask what they wanted to eat, and microwaved the croissants; that’s if they wanted any. I did all of this before any of them would wake up,
Arabella. I got to the cafe before seven thirty and without even bothering to clean up I went straight to the back store to start preparing the customer's order. I was done a couple of hours later and my heart felt full that morning knowing I brought a smile to my customer's face. They liked it
Arabella. “Miss,” The lady glanced up at me with obvious worry in her eyes. “Is the dress too tight?” I quickly removed my hand from my abdomen and offered an apologetic smile. The last thing I want to do is ruin this and whatever Ashton has planned for us. I’m supposed to be happy and not killin
Arabella. Throughout the whole day, I was thinking Ashton was perhaps taking me somewhere romantic to have a nice date with me. I was thinking that he wanted to reconcile with me and get our relationship right back on track but who would have thought that none of those things were what he was plan
Arabella. The whole world slowed down around me as my eyes connected with those green piercing eyes again after what…..has it been ten years now or more? I can never forget the face of the man who I was so in love with back in high school, the man who I thought was the one for me. I couldn’t b
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
Arabella. “Ara…do not lie to me. I know something happened between you guys, so give me a damn reply.” She urged. I shook my head, “Nothing happened Aggie. He….we only bumped in the club and then he offered to bring me home when I was feeling tired. That’s all.” I lied, biting my inner cheek and f
Arabella. I noticed two strange things when I woke up this morning, The first was that I was in a new set of clothes when I do not remember putting them on and the second was that my head was aching so bad that it felt like it was going to fall off. I sat up in the bed and looked around, I couldn'
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
