[Third Person’s POV]

Though she had trusted Heath to take care of Fiona, Selby still harbored some anger towards Esther.

This is not the first time she had suspected Esther of hating Fiona, she had seen signs of resentment most times, but she had brushed it off.

“So, Esther what were you and Fiona talking about?” Selby asks, trying her best to be hostile.

Esther chuckles awkwardly, “can’t two girls have a secret?” she continues to chuckle, “Fiona will tell you herself, I am afraid of violating her boundaries.”

She had quickly picked her drink up before taking a huge sip, and she smiled and Selby awkwardly.

Clover had chuckled awkwardly as well as she senses the tension between the two women, she looked at Selby trying to plead with her to stop what she was doing but Selby just ignored her gaze.

“Um…. Well, I will go my husband,” Clover says, she was not willing to watch Selby interrogate Esther, because unlike Selby she knew Esther’s hate towards Fiona was because she had a crush on H

    [Fiona’s POV]I had laid on the freezing ground angrily, it was so pathetic how I have been a damsel in distress yet again. Ugh…. I hate feeling weak, my head was still buzzing from the impact from that bat.Esther had never given me the vibe that she would be this evil, she had always acted timid and sensible, I never really felt like I had to be guarded around her.Now I know Carl didn’t push me, it doesn’t change anything but at least I now know who my enemy is.I had slowly crawled to the fridge door with my whole body buzzing with pain, I had tried to claw my way out, a hopeless attempt to get out of here.If ever I get out here, and get my hands on Esther, I swear to be arrested for more than just a night.My half-frozen fingers that were close to bleeding had slipped off the door yet again, I could hear a commotion outside.I heard Heath’s voice making me angry, I hate this, he has to save me yet again, I am just a weak person who needs saving every time.

    [Fiona POV] It had been a week since the cruise and I had recovered well, Gian had given me a week off work because of the incident and it was time for me to go back to work. Selby hadn’t been in the apartment since the day we arrived back home, with her new job and new man, she was a bit busy to come home, I guess. Heath has been sleeping in our apartment since we became official, so I also guess Selby is kind of right for not coming back home. Carl was transferred to a different department after his fall-out with Heath, he didn't mind the transfer though.“You are up early,” Heath mumbles from the bed. I had already taken a shower and I was busy ironing my clothes, “well I have to go to the office early, I am an assistant you know.” “My assistant gets to go to work late,” he says. “And?” “And you should resign and come work for me so you can get all the beauty sleep you need,” he reasoned. I chuckled, he had been waking up and leaving for work for the past week and he would

    [Heath’s POV] It was not a bad idea to keep things low profile, we just started dating after all, but I don’t like it. Ugh… maybe it is because I still feel a lot inferior to the men she has dated before. There are many aspects in life that I might be better than them on, but me being a ‘playboy’ before and didn’t have a colorful past as mine, and so they deserved her more I could. As I watch her walk nervously to her Office Building, I feel my heart fill up, she is mad beautiful, everything about her is so beautiful that I worry everyone around her does not notice her beauty. I want to yell at her for how beautiful she is, I can already see her growling at me for being too loud and smiling shyly after that. I need to figure out a way to steal her from Gian, that way I can be able to see her whenever I want, I can have her all to myself, I can show her off more often. I quickly returned to my house before picking up a few clothes so I can return them to her apartment. Since she

    [Fiona’s POV] Life had been going well. Even after Dean exposed our relationship, my life remained peaceful, and I was happy about it. But it seemed I wasn’t going to be happy for long. And the biggest obstacle yet seems to be Dean’s parasitic mother. Although I knew I was going to face her soon, I didn’t expect it to be this soon. I am yet to be his wife, so I have no stance against her. “What the……… do you want to kill me?” I shouted at the driver. I had taken a taxi to work since Dean couldn’t drive me because of work and it seemed it was a bad idea because the driver seemed to have bought his license. “I am so sorry another car almost hit us, so I was doing my best to avoid collision,” the driver chimed frantically, as he was busy swerving the car. He spoke off chimes from its lane heading straight towards us, causing a minor collision along the way. “Hold on, ma’am, I will get us out of here,” he shouts as he swerved the car as he avoids collision avoided, this causes the c

  • Cruise from hell   Chapter 35 – Insecurities.

    [Fiona’s POV] “Who is dumb enough to want to cross me?” Heath roared on his phone. Not only was doctor-patient confidentiality breached, this had also doubled my then none-existent insecurities. I calmly looked at the stitched face for the first time in the mirror. I didn’t believe I looked hideous, at least not hideous enough to be considered a monster. But one thing was for sure, I was no longer considered beautiful according to the modern beauty standards, and maybe that is why people find this change very interesting. Maybe they wonder if a man of a stature like Heath would be willing to still be with a woman who wasn’t as beautiful as she was when they met. I had wondered how I looked walking beside Heath before, and I wonder if now there will be a difference that is enough to have people talk behind our backs. ‘That beautiful man is with that hideous woman’ is what they will say, and then they will giggle among themselves. The ladies will pridefully boast of how they can s

    [Heath’s POV] She looked sad today, her bright eyes no longer shone like magical stars. Well, since the accident she had become rather dim. Rumors after rumors that are nothing, but fabricated lies can somehow do that to you. One of the few things that made me mad is that I brought her into this mess. “How was your day?” I asked, she sighed heavily before letting out a bitter smile. “It was better,” she says, “Mr. Apostrophe wants off his project though, so that is a bummer.” I tried my best to stay composed hated I knew I was about to tell her bad news and I hated that Mr. Apostrophe had already made her sad. “You will be okay, your friends will always support you,” I said bitterly. “want some food? I wanted to pass by a drive-thru.” Fiona would love to eat her feelings away a lot, and I knew a good place to help her with that. “Please, I could use a good burger and fries,” she chimes happily, forgetting all about her problems at work. She happily sings along to the music play

I was just so excited to see you. I didn’t mean to hurt her.”“Mimi from where? I don’t know any Mimi,” Heath says, “and please refrain from manhandling me again or there will be hell. A matter of fact, I am surprised you are still alive after hurting my girlfriend.”I chuckled evilly, Heath had a past. I knew that when I met him, but his past had nothing to do with me, so this woman had no right to try and bully me.“Can we not waste our energy darling, I was about to win,” I teased, not paying

It was homely, the elderly couple that greeted us at the reception and everyone who showed us to our room.They were both friendly and welcoming, and it made me happy.“This place is cool,” I say happily looking around, it was not a five-star hotel.It was a few stories, built with every architectural care needed.“Yes, it is,” he says, his face is clearly genuine, it might not be a five-star golden heights, but it is enough for me.I am still in awe of ho protective Dean had acted, the way he stood up for me really turned me on.“I will never get over of seeing you stand for me,” I tell him, he grins.“Well, I will always stand up for my woman, because she is the best,” he giggles before taking my lips.He mumbles something under our kiss, but I am too engulfed in the dirty thoughts of him inside me to even care.Taking a chance with Heath Duncan was the best idea ever.

Sir…. Last time you came here with someone you requested separate bedrooms.”“And? This time I have told you specifically, I need one room since I am bringing my GIRLFRIEND with me.”He is shocked and rather embarrassed. He bows his head in shame before saying, “I apologize sir, I will get your rooms at your request.”That is not good enough, the way he looked cocky after saying his first words bugged me.How dare he feel so confident in insulting his Fiona?“You are apologizing to the wrong person,” I firmly said.His face is shocked at first, he looks at Fiona with so much contempt, I loudly scoff at his reaction.“It is fine, Heath, he doesn’t need to.”“She is right.

    [Fiona’s POV]With Selby’s father gone, it was time for Heath to commit to his promise to take him on a vacation and commit he did.“Vegas? I had always wanted to go to Vegas, how did you know?” I squealed happily, a man who does his homework is my type of man.“I am close to your friends, plus there is so much that could happen in Vegas that could be good for me.”I rolled my eyes at that, since his conversations with Mr. Green, he had been a nuisance, “I am not marrying you in Vegas Heath.”A beautiful laugh fills the room, he is so beautiful when he laughs, it makes you want to just smile at him.“Come pack your bags, Vegas isn’t going to explore itself,” he says, and I rush to our bedroom, “careful, you might fall.”This is the best gift ever, travelling the world. I have put that on hold since I started working. Each year I always tell myself, it is not time yet.But now, this feels right, travelling more. Maybe I should start now, stop worrying about work and travel more.I coul

I hate how effortless he seems. We haven’t even started, but I can already see us losing.And losing we did, again, and again, and again, “come on Heath we are not winning this, can’t we just give up already.”“You know if we give up, we are not getting the blessing to date/marry his daughters,

    [Fiona’s POV] I wake up late in the afternoon, with the day to myself. I have woken up once to see Heath go to work, go back to sleep, and wake up again in the afternoon. It felt a bit good to not stress about work for the first two weeks, but it feels so depressing to stay home and do nothing. I hear a soft knock on the door which is followed by another loud and aggressive knock. I can deduce who is at the door already because I hear Mrs. Green say. “Selby don’t knock like that, poor Fiona must be resting,” she scolds in that soft and loving tone. “Mom, welcome,” with a warm hug, we greeted each other. “Wait till I tell you what dad did,” Selby says angrily. “What did he do?” I asked. I ushered them in as I caught up with what had been happening while I was asleep. “Come on stop exaggerating, your father would never do that,” Mrs. Green says, “he is probably getting to know them.” “He kidnapped them mom. How would you explain him buying a gun first thing this morning?” “I a

    [Heath’s POV] The tall elderly man was surely intimidating, not only his voice but his build as well; an elderly man with a sweet smile. “Dad,” I heard Fiona chime. I am completely confused by this. Fiona’s parents had passed on, so why is she calling that man dad? She quickly runs to hug the couple, who embraces her back warmly, “I miss you so much, how have you been?” “Huh…... miss us? Don’t lie child, you could have visited if you missed us,” the elderly man said, earning a smack on his head from his wife. “Robert, don’t talk to a child like that, in your old age you still act childish,” the lady says, “don’t mind him child, you know what your father is like.” “I understand mom, this grinch doesn’t want to let go of his ways,” she teases. This confuses me even further. Did she lie about her parents dying? “And who is this fine young man,” the lady says, moving closer to me and Lewis. “Oh…. Um…. Mom, this is my boyfriend Heath,” Fiona says shyly. “Heath, these are Sleby’s p

    [Fiona’s POV] “Okay Lucas, what brings you here?” I asked him, he nervously sat on the couch across from me. I had moved back to Heath’s place after the talk with Gian and Clover, though I would see Lucas now and then when he visited Heath or when he drove Selby, to come and see me, he was kind of distant. “Um…. So… I have been thinking,” he speaks, “it might seem too quick or maybe I am rushing things, but I feel like this is the right time.” “The right time for me?” “I want to ask Selby to marry me,” he says. I feel mixed emotions. Marriage? Now? He might be right about this too suddenly. “But…. Lucas, you haven’t introduced her to your family yet and you haven’t met her family either,” I reasoned. “Oh…. I am going to meet her parents next month. I plan to ask her father for her hand in marriage,” he said so confidently. I looked at him bewildered, “ask Selby’s father for her hand in marriage the first time you met him?” I asked. He nodded confused as to why I was surpris

It was busy.”“It is okay, Selby came, she brought me the tasty sushi I like so much,” Clover says, “I missed it since I couldn’t eat it during the pregnancy.”“That is very thoughtful of her.” Fiona says awkwardly, “is anything the matter?”“How have you wound been? I was so engrossed with my baby I didn’t ask,” Clover says.“I am managing, it gets sore here and there, but it is getting better,” Fiona explains.Heath’s face had lit up, it seemed they had finally noticed that his worries were not just him crying wolf.“I talked to Jennie, she
