Christian's POV

"Maria! I need you to push! Harder." The doctor said for like millionth time and the scowl on Isabella's face deepened as she dug her nails on my arms, trying her best to push hard.

I could clearly see the pain she was going through for the whole time since we have arrived here.

We've been here for almost eight hours and Izzy reacted badly for the drugs and contractions and it's so fucking heart-rending to watch her suffer alone.

And it's been three hours since Izzy started the process of giving birth but we couldn't see any progress eventhough Izzy was pushing long and long, hoping the baby would come out in no time.

"You're doing great Izzy.. Keep going.." I cooed, wiping the sweat off of her forehead and she turned to me with furrowed brows.

"I can't!" Isabella groaned and she looked like she was going to faint anytime soon. My hands trembled and by seeing her at this condition, I seemed like I was going to faint too.

"Izzy.. I know you're tired.. but please t

    Christian's POV 《 4 years later 》 I glanced at myself through the mirror before putting on the blazer. "Daddy!!" I heard my four-year-old pebble squealing and I turned around and noticed her running towards my way. "Maria, carefu-" "How many times I'm telling you to stop calling me Maria.." she frowned, placing her hands on her hips and I held back my chuckle as her accent would always make her rant even more funnier. "My name is Haley." "But your name is Haley Maria Roberts, is it not?" I asked, tilting my head and she stuck her tongue out for no reason as she shook her head. "I don't like that name, daddy.." she stated and before I could reply anything, Chloe spoke out of nowhere. "Is it because that's our mommy's another name?" I heard my 10-year-old child saying and I took a sharp intake of a breath when all the memories I was trying to forget, hit me hard again. Deep down, I knew I shouldn't call Haley by her middle name as we all knew how many times I've lost the person,

    Emma Davis I took out my phone and still I haven't gotten a notification that'd tell me he had texted me back. Eventhough it was so embarrassing to admit, even to myself, I was still hoping he'd reach me out again despite of the fact that he had literally ghosted me for more than a month."Em, have you talked with Bella lately?" Aunt Rachel asked, without taking her gaze off of her laptop."No, she's not a kiddo to check in on her." I stated, resisting the urge to roll my eyes."She's still a kiddo to me, Em." she said, throwing me a glance and I let out an inaudible sigh, dialing her number."Do you want me to call her?""How about you go to London and check in on her whether everything's fine?" My hands froze in mid-air when I heard what she said and I turned to look at her open-mouthed."Wh-What?""You heard me." She stated nonchalantly and she wasn't wrong either but I still wanted her to repeat to confirm what I heard was correct."You want me to go to London?""Yeah. But you don

    Emma Davis WilsonIt's almost been a year since I've married Hayden and I'd say being in hell was far more better.Everyone did think that I was living my dream life. Little did they know that I sold my life to the king of crankiness without knowing the consequences.These past three-hundred and sixty days were the worst phase of my life and I didn't know how far I have to go bearing this.Nobody knew it was a contract marriage except Hayden and I.I let out a loud sigh as I realized that I was the only reason for this whole fucking situation; That I dug my own grave.Suddenly I heard the door open and I sighed again and made my way outside of the kitchen.I saw Hayden removing his shoes hastily and I swallowed the lump in my throat before speaking as we have shared merely a few words lately."Hey."He looked up at me for a nanosecond and nodded before heading towards his room."Hayden, wait, I've made us dinner." I informed and he stopped walking, showing his back to me."I already ha

    Emma Davis"Bella, you're okay? You seem tired." I said with a frown on my face and she sighed softly shaking her head."I'm fine, Em.. I think I'm hungry. Oh and I should check on Chloe too..""Oh shush. You take rest, Bells. I'll bring breakfast for you and let me take care of Chloe too." I assured and she smiled faintly, holding both of my hands."Thankyou so much, Em. I love you.""I know. Now go, get some sleep." I said, almost pushing her towards the bed and she groaned underneath her breath but plopped down on the bed nevertheless.I slowly closed the door behind me and started to make my way towards the elevator but suddenly bumped into someone which made me curse underneath my breath as I knew who it was, by the familiar scent."Hey Hayden.""Oh Em.. I've been looking for you for the whole time." Hayden said and I furrowed my brows."Me? Why? What's the matter?""Uhh.. you know.." He trailed off, tucking his hands in his pockets. "I wanna to talk to you.""What are we doing n

    Emma Davis Wilson I ate the sausage and mash alone, sitting on the kitchen island on my very first wedding anniversary when the door bell rang. I set my plate aside and quickly got down, wiping my mouth with the back of my hand before making my way to the door.But before I could reach the door, Hayden appeared, holding out his hand at me. "I'll get it."I nodded briefly and he moved to the door and swung open it.After a few moments, he shut the door, reappearing to my sight with a box of pizza in his right hand. Our eyes met for a split second before I turned around and walked towards the kitchen."Emma.."I turned back a bit fast than I was supposed to, and he cleared his throat, scratching his left brow."You've got time?""For what?" I asked cautiously."Uh.. to watch some movie and chill?"A chuckle escaped from my mouth involuntarily as I crossed my arms over my chest."What's the reason for the sudden change?""What do you mean?" He asked with a frown on his face."When I sug

    Emma Davis The couple of months went in a blur and when I thought my life couldn't get any worse, it proved me wrong again.I hadn't talked to Hayden after I got home that day because I realized that we were better off this way. I still had his unread text messages and unheard voicemails on my phone but as the time went, neither of us seemed to care.But again, now, I was going back to London in a private jet which was owned by Mr.Roberts a.k.a the father of the kid who grows in Bella's belly.Yes. Today, well technically yesterday, I found out Bella was five months pregnant and at the same time, she got to find out that Bella wasn't the person she used to know. Aunt Rachel accidentally or purposefully spilled the hugest secret today which was, Bella's been adopted.And I, who knew this for a long time, wouldn't get mad at Bella for being mad at me as I kind of broke her trust in some sort of way.I looked over at the adjacent seat area where Hayden and Christian has been sitting and

    Emma Davis Wilson♡A loud noise of a ringtone ruined my peaceful sleep and as usual, without opening my eyes, I looked out for the phone to press the snooze button but couldn't be able to find it.I cursed underneath my breath and rubbed my eyes, slowly opening them and I looked around and noticed I drifted off last night on the couch.Then when I glanced at the coffee table, rubbing my eyes, I realized that it wasn't an alarm notification and it was actually ringing because someone was calling me. And when my brain started to function more properly, I found out that phone wasn't even mine.All of a sudden my heart stopped beating for a second and it twisted in a painful way that I couldn't name of, when my eyes landed on the Caller ID that appeared as 'Kiera.'After contemplating with myself, I grabbed the phone and the time showed that it's only been half past six.Why on earth is she calling out of nowhere and at an odd time?I was about to answer it but someone behind me quickly s

    Emma Davis-Wilson"How long will it take?" I asked, glancing at Hayden through the mirror who was drying my hair with the hair dryer and he shrugged, keeping his full focus on my hair."No idea. Maybe an hour?" He deadpanned and I grunted in response and was about to stand up but he gripped my shoulder and made me sit back on the vanity chair again. "Don't be rushed. Today your hair is more wet than you, so it needs time."I gave him a flat look before speaking. "I'm starving here and you're trying to make some lame-ass jokes.""I stated merely a fact, Em." Hayden said, giving me an amused glance through the mirror while blowing out my hair. "You look cute when you're mad by the way.""So you're implying I'm not cute when I'm not mad, huh?" I asked and he shrugged, setting the dryer down on the table."I guess. Because as far as I know, you've always been mad with me." he stated and I shot him a mock glare."Because you've always been an asshole.""Ouch. that hurts." he placed his hand

    Emma Davis-Wilson When my brain processed what Hayden said, I literally started panicking.Why on earth did Christian disclose this which no one had brought up for more than a year?I cleared my throat, trying not to meet Hayden's eyes. "I- um, I should head back. I'm.. tired."Before I could leave, Hayden gripped my elbow making me stop. "No. You can't leave unless you tell me everything.""Wh-What's there to tell?" I played dumb, shrugging my shoulders and Hayden let out a groan in response."Em, why won't you let me know you? Why can't you just open up to me?"I stared up at him and let out a soft sigh, shaking my head faintly. "It's not that easy..""But it's not hard either! I mean, you confessed all of this to Christian but you couldn't even share a single detail of your life to me ever since I've known you? How is this even fair?""Because you've never understood me even in the slightest!" I admitted bluntly and he seemed taken aback as he looked at me with furrowed brows."Wh

    Emma Davis 2 years laterI scrolled through my Instagram and when I tapped on his profile, I noticed there was a round circle around his profile picture which meant that he had posted a new story.I instantly viewed it and my eyebrows shot up in surprise when he posted a picture of mine that was taken almost two years ago, in which I was obviously fake-aweing while showing my ring finger to the camera which had a giant diamond ring wrapped around it. And he has written 'Happy Birthday Em! Imy.' below that picture and didn't even tag me.Bruh!Eventhough his wish was so bland, my heart warmed as he has still remembered my birthday and never forgot to post it every year eventhough there were so many things that have changed over the period.Contrary to what I said above, I was still engaged to Hayden and he began the wedding plans three months ago when I told him I finally graduated.I didn't mind when he didn't attend my graduation ceremony. And neither did he mind that I was still no

    Emma Davis The worst feeling, in my opinion, was when your life was falling apart and you couldn't do anything but pretend everything was fine as an Oscar award winner.I've had a lot of plans to do on Bella's big day but screwing my own life and being a broken-hearted maid of honour, wasn't one of them.I stood behind Bella with an impassive face, trying my best not to cry while she was confessing her vows to Christian. You may assume I was tearing up because my cousin's finally marrying the love of her life, but no, to be frank, I couldn't even be able to be happy for her, No matter how much I tried. All I wanted to do was, throw up because I was starting to worry that she'd get played too. That even the person you'd be ready to take a bullet for, would pull the trigger.And to make my situation worse, I caught Hayden glancing at my way now and then and it was really hard not to make an eye contact with him as he was straight ahead of me, standing a few feet away from Christian.Ha

    Emma Davis "You've got any photo of him?" Hayden asked with a clenched jaw and I was suddenly fazed by his raw anger."No.. why?" I answered honestly as Kyle and I have actually never taken a single decent picture together as he hated being photographed and I never forced him either."How long have you guys been together?""Why do you care-""Just fucking tell me!"I glanced around at the people but they didn't seem to acknowledge our conversation as all of them were too busy to care about anything but Bella."Hayden, we're at church." I hissed and his jaw hardened as if he couldn't care less but nevertheless, he nodded at the entrance."Catch me outside." with that he stormed out and I sighed inaudibly before following him behind."Now tell me. How long have you been dating?" Hayden questioned, the minute we stepped out of the church."It's almost five months." I stated and crossed my arms over my chest. "But what's up with you actually?""You met him at your town?" He asked, comple

    Emma Davis Wilson I waved one last time at Bella who was waving back at me through the window of her car.Chloe and Haley drifted off an hour ago and one was sleeping on Bella's lap while the other was in Christian's arms.Christian was totally wasted just like Hayden was, so he called his driver to drive them back home.Hayden has walked out with Christian to send them off and they were still talking, leaning on the car as if they didn't spend the half of the day, conversing with each other.Just as if they heard my thoughts, Christian nodded at Hayden and got into the back seat with Haley in his arms.I glanced around the place and it was a total mess, yet I didn't mind cleaning it all night because it was all worth it.It's been awhile since I've had fun like I had today and suddenly all the memories from the good old days flooded my mind.I smiled faintly, walking around the counter and grabbed the dirty dishes and put them into the sink.Then I put on the gloves, deciding to was

    Emma Davis I unpacked the luggage that was lying on the bed when a pair of arms encircled my waist.I looked at Kyle over my shoulder and smiled as he pecked my neck and then my cheek. "Thankyou."I turned around, raising my eye brow at him. "For what?"He shrugged. "For everything. Especially, for respecting my boundaries."I smiled faintly as I, to be honest, didn't even know why I was agreeing to everything he said but maybe my heart was saying he was the right one and I was just listening to my heart.A couple of hours ago, we reached London and he refused to stay with me at Christian's mansion or the guest-house as he found awkward to stay together in a house with people he barely knew except me. So I agreed to let him stay at the hotel and I'd meet him once in a while, and he didn't mind much about my leaving as he had some business arrangements with some people in London too which would keep him occupied.My phone rang, interrupting my train of thoughts and we both looked at t

    ♡ Emma Davis Wilson ♡I called Hayden for the twelfth time but as per usual it went straight to voice mail.I peeked a glance at the living room and Bella and Christian were having a serious conversation which would be, doubtlessly, about the positions they'd be planning to try on tonight.But I silently thanked God as they still didn't any sneaking feeling, though Bella came to the kitchen a couple of minutes ago, asking if I needed any help and I just dismissed her telling that all I was planning to make was, tea and some popcorn.I tried to give Hayden a call one last time but when I heard the "Hi, you've reached Hayden. Leave a message." I placed my phone down on the counter, sighing heavily.What if I was in danger? He knew I wouldn't call him continuously unless it was serious, but yet this scumbag let his ego win.Way to go, Hayden!I began pouring the tea to the cups from the teapot, trying to think of ways to kill him that'd make his death more painful. Speaking of which, the

    Emma DavisI stared at myself and noticed my hair has gotten two inches longer and I've gotten more tan which were not so huge difference, but for me, it was a major glow up.I was seeing Kyle for more than four months and maybe I barely knew about him and maybe I didn't know what relationship we were having, but still he was the reason I was serene again. He was the one who made me forget about the guy who I once thought would be the love of my life.I let out a heavy sigh when Hayden's face popped into my head. To be honest, after I came back home from London a few months back, I haven't had any contact with him till now.And the most important thing was, Christian has found Bella two months ago and they both have welcomed their second daughter, Haley Roberts.Then he proposed to her right after she gave birth and by the end of this month, we were going to celebrate their big day. And no matter how many fights we've had in the past, she inevitably chose me as her maid of honour.It'
