Arabella. What is she talking about? Why am I trending online and worse with Alejandro? “Ara, are you there?” Agnes asked. “I’m here. What’s the news about?” I asked, breathing out slowly. Please don’t tell me it’s something bad. “It’s just a picture of you and Alejandro standing and then anot
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

His green eyes dimmed a bit but his facial expression didn’t change, he still looked like the cold Alejandro who doesn’t look approachable. “No,” I stared at him without doing anything for a whole minute then I snapped after that. I literally screamed, grabbed my hair, and screamed as loud as I co
Arabella. I swallowed nothing and decided to busy my hands with rubbing the fur of chocolate, getting another purr from it. “I…..I can’t do that.” I answered. “I don’t care, I want you to call me by my name and that’s what you are going to do.” He ordered. “I can’t do that because I do not want
Arabella. Never for once would I ever imagine Alejandro to be someone who loves pets or even have one but here he’s tending to the two cute animals before him like they were his babies. “Come in.” He said and I didn’t even realize I had been standing in the doorway. I walked inside, gaining the a
Arabella. I refused to come out until Alejandro told me where the hell he brought me to. The whole place was filled with trees and trees, there was only one house in the middle of these trees and that was where he was currently standing. What are we doing here? Wasn’t this someone’s property? “C
Alejandro. “The shipment will arrive in an hour boss,” The man before me stopped talking for a while, I know that look. “What is it?” I asked. “I don’t think the Italian would stay quiet this time boss, they are going to react again.” He went on. I let out a sigh, the Italians have been a pain i
Arabella. I quickly looked away from him and acted like I didn’t see him at all. I walked slowly and tried my best not to stare at him again. The image of him leaning against his car with that dark shade on his face popped up in my head again, the same as the image of us kissing. I closed my eyes
I shook my head, I am nothing like him. I am not a cheat like him. “Don’t compare yourself to me, Ashton, we are about to get divorced so I have every right to be with another man. You hate the thought of it right?” I asked, staring at his fuming face. “You hate the thought of me kissing another
Arabella. Ashton leaned back in his seat, looked at the envelope, and then at me. “So this is it huh? This is what our life has become, Ara,” he said, confusing me. “We could have been happy, you know, all this wouldn’t have happened if you had stayed.” He said, and I frowned hating how he was pa
