"Dear. Natasha," Camila walked towards Natasha with a bright smile on her face, as she dragged her only son, Xander.His squeezed face showed how much he didn't wanted to be here, but some things, are better left as they were."Camila!" Natasha gazed up from her glass of expensive wine. A smile formed in her face, as she gazed at Xander, her face turning soft.The only reason she loved Xander was that, anytime she glanced at him, she saw Niccy, in him. The same behavior that Niccy emitted. It was definitely in him too.The way he stared dazly, perhaps coldly, it reminded her of Niccy. The way the corners of his lips twitched upward, it brought relief down her spines."Camila. How are you?" Natasha asked with a bright smile, she gazed at her husband, Alec, and pointed at Camila, same with Xander."This is Camila, we attended High school together," Natasha bit her lips, suddenly remembering that Alec went to the same High school, "You remember her, don't you?" She laughed, quite nervous
Zoey stopped. Gazing back, she stared, dazly as usual.He walked towards her, gripping her shoulders frantically, his eyes gazing at hers."Zoey?" He called out.She stared.She still stared.His grasp on her shoulders was harsh, as he muttered. "Zoey. Damn, say something,""You are hurting me!" She wailed as she. released herself from his grip.Stepping backwards, and gripping the handle of her travelling bag, she said. "Dexter, I have made my decision." She paused. "You should go, you can't convince me."He stared at her, series of emotions passing through his lobes, "You are leaving me alone?" He increased his voice. "I thought you loved me," His voice was cracked, and his eyes misty red.Her grip tightened, as her eyes darkened. "I don't love you. It it was a mere attraction,"Dexter nodded, hurtfully. "Alright, I am sorry for ever assuming such," He straightened his composure. "You are leaving for England?" He asked, his face squished emotionally.She nodded, "I am sorry for not
He walked towards her, and and she stepped back involuntarily. "W-what are you doing?" Her eyes moved around in a confused manner. He cupped her shoulders, rather gently than normal. "Oh, don't be coy." Her face paled, but for his sake, she managed a smile, oh, she couldn't even force out a smile. She was sure her jaw was going to snap into two if she tried further. And hence; she did the opposite of smile. Frown, a really heavy one. "Why are we here anyways?" She dusted her gown, her eyes suddenly bulging. "Are you planning on doing something?" He shot her a gray look, before he pulled her hand to the railings, his hands squeezed againsts her as they stared at the night sky. "Aren't they beautiful?" He turned towards her with a bright smile, a smile so warm. Nova coughed, gazing at his extremely handsome face. Was it just her, or when you see someone so close to you, and boom, one day, you realizes that they had never been so handsome. And then, you say to yourself, 'wher
Nova's eyes lit up gently, as her hands reached for the ring, gazing at it, she felt her eyes moistioning."You don't have to cry," He reached for her, scooping her into his hands."You don't understand, Edward." She sniffled continously. "I never thought this day would actually come, I thought I would die single, and I thought..." His thumb pressed against her lips."It's okay. I am here now," He stroked her hair."Nova?" He called out, when she appeared daze."Oh right." She held the ring, fitting it into her finger. "Wait, are you asking me to marry you, or be your bright star?"His lips curled up playfully, and he leaned in, his hot breath minting against her face. "What do you think, Miss. Nova?"She smacked his chest, and said. "Don't you dare!""Why won't I marry you?" She frowned slightly, leaning against his chest."I know," He heaved a sigh, before he turned to face her, "I never thought I would do this, all my life, I thought.. You know," "Belive me, I know what's like,"Al
"You got engaged?!" Natasha waved her hand up in the air ironically, as she gazed curiously at Nova whose face flushed immediately. "When?!"She fiddled in the couch, her eyes bulging with surprise."Yesterday night. It's a long story." She said nervously. "The wedding is next week. You know. Sorry, it's so sudden.""What the heck?!" Natasha widened her eyes. "Why so fast?""I don't know, He wants it that way." Nova walked towards the kitchen, and widely, she opened the refrigerator, before scooping the plate of ice-cream and a clean spoon."Damn you." Natasha cursed under her breath, her best friend was getting married next week, and she was just told last minute?Nova chugged a spoonful of ice-cream into her mouth, chewing greatfully. "This is so good,"Natasha rolled her eyes playfully. "Who's invited?""I don't know yet," She slumped on the couch, her eyes bobbing widely. "Few, we don't want a grand wedding, just normal, with a star theme," "Star theme? What's that?"Nova gaz
On the night of her wedding day, Nova sighed deeply, opening the wardrobe wide, she squeezed her wedding gown into it, before closing it back.A bright smile formed in the corner of her lips, maybe one day, she would pass the wedding gown to her daughter, or maybe her son's wife. Just the thought of having her own kids, made her giggle like a high schooler."What's making my wife laugh?" A firm hand found its way to her waist, Nova turned to look at him, with a smile."Just thinking," She walked over to the bed, evolving in the soft mattress. She stuck her ring finger and stared at the ring, a chuckle escaping her lips. "Did you buy this ring?"Edward nodded negatively. "I really didn't. Thought of making something really special, so I had it carved," He bounced on the bed, turning to her, his lips almost pressing hers. "Don't you like it?"Nova suppressed her groan, and turned to look elsewhere. "It's good. Now, I feel my desire for stars, like the concept, it's like I finally under
Nova peered down, afraid to gaze at his reaction.He was calm, and his face glistened, "Nova, are you pregnant?"She finally nodded, gazing at him softly. "Are you glad?"He remained silent, his eyes seeming to be doing some calculations."Edward, please talk to me," She held his hand warmly, tears forming between her lids. Was he happy? was he annoyed that she had affronted?He remained quiet, before his thumb made for her face, a gentle smile on his face. "I am glad,""Are you sure?" She stared hopefully at his eyes, and he nodded again."Have you informed anyone yet?" He asked."Was planning on informing Natasha and Alec, but I now how those two will freak. so I will keep it for later," She laughed.His gaze went down to her stomach, and he chuckled. "I still can't believe I am becoming a father soon, now I will have to take parental advise from Alec," He grunted, leaning on the chair, before shutting his eyes, and when he opened them back, those bulged eyes seemed to be staring a
Chapter 2:The blue contents splattered on the floor, and a loud cheering was heard. "It's a boy," Natasha smiled Happily, walking up to the stage and embracing Nova."It's a boy," Nikky paled, gazing at his sister who had a calm expression on her face. "How in the heck is it a boy?" He sulked.Her lips curled up mockingly, but in the pretense to act nice, she grabbed her a plates of cheese burgers on the nearest table and handed it over to him. "I get to name him, sorry,"He heaved an angry sigh, grabbing the tray from her, before his hands made for a burger, squishing a part of the burger, he gazed at her. "Whatever, but I am happy that's Aunt Nova is going to have a kid soon, will he loom like her or uncle Edward?" His eyes glistened playfully, sparking under the light.She tapped his shoulders, her tiny hands moving towards his face. "You do know, sometimes, I always dream of killing you."His face paled, and then he took another bite, savouring the greatness of the mighty taste.

One year later,Thanksgiving day.The room smelt like any other thanksgiving room, roasted turkey, cream, salad and a bunch of people sipping wine. The dinner was about to start, and soon everyone was going to be saying what they were thankful for.Zoey recounted, she didn't even know where to begin, just one year ago, her life had changed ever so much. Perfectly well, it had gone along.Dexter came into her life, Rafael stumbled in, and oh, she didn't know how, but they both loved her daughter so much, well. Zara better get used to having two overprotective fathers.Miranda, Stella and Zoey have become quite the inseparable trio, having tea on Mondays, hitting the gyms, and gossiping about their husbands.Presently, Zoey was sprawled on the bed, her hands swiping through her phone, just waiting for it to be ringing, finally it chimed. She swiped it up immediately."Stella!" She beams, cheeks pink. "How's the baby moon going? Is Mexico alright?"Stella's voice sounded so angelic from
Two Months later."Zoey hurry! We don't want to be late for Sky's concert. Do we?" Stella yells from the bedroom, her gaze directed at the dressing room."Coming! Just trying to get the zipper on, damn, it's too hard!" Zoey yells back.Stella takes in a little giggle, and stares outside the room, the view is perfect, she could see the sun set even from here. She was having a giddy feeling today, but it didn't sum up her excitement.Today was Sky's first concert after his music block has been overcomed and he was singing his new song. People are flooding all over Los Angeles just to hear his voice, She, Zoey and the rest already got their tickets. She couldn't wait to see him sing after his music block. Excitement is washing over her. She can't wait.Zara enters the room, a smile on her face. "Aunt Stella!" She throws herself towards her."How was your night? Little Pumpkin?" Stella nudges her hair playfully, her hands moving to tickle her."It's fine." Zara scrunched her nose, before
Even though one week had passed and everything seemed to be moving well, Zoey still felt this urge: sinking and swimming through her, prompting her to see her mother in jail, so that's why early in the morning, she got into her Sedan and drove towards the lane."What do you want?" The receptionist barked at her, her face gruff, prison was not a good place, no doubt. It smelt of stale coffee, the place looks rugged, like criminals had been jacked into this place, struggling to get inside."I want to see my mother." Zoey made to speak again, but the angry looking woman waved her off."Sorry. Kid." The woman puffed her cigar in between her hands, "But visiting hours are over, if you would please return later, I am sure you would be entertained with whoever you want to meet."The woman is really rude, no doubt, but Zoey doesn't want to leave without seeing her mother. Sometimes, your name is very important, and if using that name would get her what she wants. Then, why the heck not?She
The whole room felt so small as Zoey ran past them, it was like oxygen was racking her spine as she counted the rooms. Her breath was short-lived, she could only pray under her breath."Zara!" She calls out, fear evident in her voice, the pain of losing her own daughter sends tears to her eyes. The hall was stretched out, too many rooms. The stairs looking back at her.She stopped at the living room, she could feel the throbbing in her head."Zara! Please come out. Please." She just stood there rooted, it was like the alarm was buzzing in her head: countdown, five, four..Sweat clanged the corner of her hair, she checked her father's study, it looked rather untouched. Her father's favorite novel, 'Rich man, poor man,' sat there elegantly on the table. Hope. It needled through her, then vanished into thin air. She called again, this time more loudly, perhaps her daughter might hear her. "Zara!" The room was eerily quiet.With lost hope, she just stood there, she would rather blow with
The next day came rather too quickly, and like her mother used to say when she was young: You just have to face it.So, when she sprang up from the bed, she kissed Dexter on the forehead gently before heading downstairs. Rafael was by the counter making cereal for her daughter while balancing a cup of coffee on one hand."Ready for the big day, huh?" He hands her a cup, while gently pouring the milk into the bowl, Zara watches with her eyes fluttering."It's funny how you made it sound so casual." Zoey says casually, everything has been planned, they are all meeting up in her father's house. Nova, her husband, Alec and his wife, Stella and Sky. Miranda was going to meet them there.Zara shoves her spoon into the bowl, her mouth full of corn flakes. "Mother. Can I come with you? Pretty please?""Yes. Dexter and I will get the car ready, why don't Rafael pick out your dress, okay sweetheart?"She nods and focuses on her food, just by staring at her daughter makes her heart swell, the on
In life, you could be either lucky or unlucky, but there's no such thing as luck or not luck, it's the chance we have, it's the choice we get that defines us, not our luck, that's why as Lin sat down, fiddling with the hemline of her gown, she recalled all the choices she had got to make, and one of them dealt with forgiving her husband, Asher.He was only being threatened, he just wanted to protect her. He loves her, that's why he wanted to protect, because for the person you love, you could go through extreme lengths just to make sure they were safe."Lin? Lin, are you listening to me?" Asher said, clutching the cup of coffee in one hand.She snapped out of her daydream, before staring around, waiting. What was he saying? She didn't even hear a thing."I was saying whether we should take the kids to Disneyland this year?" That was one thing she would always love about him, his ability to remember anything."But Mommy, we went to Disneyland last year!" Her seven year old daughter wai
Stella had imagined countless things in her life, but here she was. Seating opposite her parents with Sky by her side, this time. She wasn't scared, hope brimmed in her chest, because with him she felt strong, she felt like somebody."You want to date him?" Her mother said, under those lashes of hers, her words held some kind of deep warning, "What about Doctor Rodriguez?"Her father dropped the spoon on the plate, the metallic sound filling their eyes. "Stella dear. You can't go out with him. He's not for-""I didn't come here for your approval." Her tone sent them all warning, Sky placed his hand on her shoulder, his gaze, a reassuring one. He turned towards her parents."I am Sky. Well, I dated your daughter, until you threatened me to leave her, I fell in love with her, again. I fell hard, I am still falling for her. She makes me, she completes me. I love her so much."Neither of them blinked."And I am sorry, but you can't stand in the way of our love," He breathed in, "She helpe
Loud chattering filled the room, kids chasing each other, muttering words under their breath, some kids sprawled on the neat blue rug, playing with their toys.The kitchen linked to the living room, some adults were leaning against the island, each gripping a glass of wine. There's some muttering, no laughter here, just clear talking.Relax. Zoey's head throbbed, but she just couldn't. Dexter's hand was placed on hers, it was warm, at least that made her calm down a little, but still. She wanted to sprang up the seat, and protect those she loved, her mind reeled. To her mother's word, to Lin's words.Thankfully, Zara was talking to her cousin 'Damien', they seemed to be arguing though, but hey, it was her daughter."Everybody." Natasha clicked the glass, the whole room went silent. The kids stopped and turned to look at her, immediately she received the call, she didn't know what prompted her to call Natasha, Natasha was soothing on the other end, and they agreed to call a meeting.Li
