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
She rolled her eyes and sat up, “You don’t intimidate me, Ashton. I’m not like your weak and defenseless ex-wife who does as you say. I am not going into that kitchen and that’s final.” She said and I ground my teeth together when she mentioned Arabella. I took a step forward, “You are nothing lik
Ashton. I stared at myself in the mirror as I worked on my tie, the damn thing was frustrating to do and at this moment I just want to give up. It was a simple thing but yet I couldn’t do it myself…. Hell, I can’t do anything myself since she left. It has been hard for me to even pick out my own c
Arabella. I woke up to the sound of the shower pouring, blinking my eyelashes while trying to adjust to the bright lights in the room. The first thing that came to my sight was the roof, it was different in fact the whole room was different from the one in Aggie's place. Where the hell am I? I sa
“Why did it take you a long time to get to the doctor Ellie?” He asked with a small glare. I rolled my eyes as I stood five steps away from him. “Because I couldn’t find the doctor so I had to find Harry instead. He called the doctor and I’m sure he will be here soon.” I told him but his eyes refu
Arabella. I couldn’t move, I stayed right on the spot where I was standing. I was scared shitless and the men staring right back at me didn’t help me at all, it felt like they were all staring at me and speaking telepathically with each other like they were trying to come up with ways for me to die
Arabella. I could not believe it. I could not believe Alejandro was kissing me…..again and I’m allowing it. His lips were surprisingly soft when they met mine—I couldn’t tell how he tasted or felt like when we kissed the first time because I was drunk—and I found myself opening to the kiss. I le
Alejandro. I let out a groan as I woke up, the pain in my side was the first thing that I felt after becoming conscious. It felt like my insides were being pierced by small tiny needles again and again. It felt painful. And breathing hurts like freaking hell. Christ! But it isn’t anything
Arabella. I stayed by Alejandro’s side the whole time he was asleep and I wasn’t going to lie, I kept my eyes on his face and naked chest rather than keeping an eye on him—well in my defense I was still keeping an eye on him. It has been two hours and yet the man hasn’t made an effort to wake up.
Arabella. I stayed outside the room, pacing up and down without stopping. My heart wouldn’t stop beating so fast and loud that I feared Harry who was sitting beside me would hear. Since the doctor drove me out of the room I haven’t been able to stop thinking, different scenarios flashed in my head
