Two days later, Natasha sat on the chair, her eyes gazing at the wrist watch every now and then. Alec typing on the laptop screen. "Get me coffee." He turned to look at her, indicating she fastened to what she was doing and get his coffee ready. With a sigh, why did he had to request for coffee? couldn't he see she wasn't in the mood to get coffee? This was totally out of control. She just nodded her head, she stood up and flexed her muscles before heading for his private kitchen, however. She made a stop when she stared at the picture frame hanged on the wall. Was she actually dreaming? Natahsa's throat hooked. What was this? this was a frame of the day she graduated from college. She was a pale back then with the flowing graduation gown etched on her fragile body, her graduation hat sticking through her hair, it brought out strands of her hair. She had a faint smile that day, with Alec standing beside her, his arms hooked around hers. In the picture, he looked like he was a
"Home is the best." Nikky slumped on the chair lazily, his eyes gazing around. Natahsa sighed at the absurd behaviour of her son, she bent a little to pick up the school bag which he flinched away. "I always tell you to behave yourself." A sigh escaped her lips, but it looked like her son ignored her yet again and focused on the TV. "Niccy, our favourite TV show is on now." Nikky said Excitedly. "Really?" Slowly, Niccy walked over to him and soon enough, they were both engrossed in the show. Natasha sighed before heading for the kitchen, she had to prepare some delicacies for her kids. "Sky is in the house." The door opened and Sky, walked in, his hands motioning itself. "Sky, is that you?" Natahsa walked from the kitchen, an apron clearly fixated on her neck, strands of hair falling out of place. "Yes sister!" He smiled before gazing at the twins for awhile. "I got you guys a little something." He waved the grocery bag up in the air. Nikky who was busy engrossed in the TV, co
Nova widened her eyes, stepping back a little, did she offend a big shot? sweat formed in the corner of her forehead. She could get arrested, worse, thrown behind bars. Clearing her throat a little. Nova said. "I am sorry, I-I really didn't know, I have offended you, forgive me." She nervously smiled, trembling slightly. Edward laughed suddenly, showcasing his dimples, for the first time ever, he was amused at the lady, who did she really take him for? "You offended me?" Edward raised his brows looking at her scrutiny. "Yes." She breathed out, calming her self down. "I can't forgive you." His voice was dark, sending shivers down her lonely spine. Nova rolled her eyes, why were rich people always like this? her younger brother was visiting in today, why was he wasting time with her here? "Can I just go and forget about all that happened?" Nova smiled. "No." "Why?" "Nothing." Nova: "...." Why was this man hard to play? "I said I am sorry." She stepped back a little. "I wil
After dinner, the two, Nova and her younger brother spent the whole night discussing about the norms. Dexter expressed his hate for one rich brat, Zoey who kept on pestering him. "You know, why don't you just mind her if she is rich?" Nova darted her eyes lids. Situated on the far end of the room was Nikky all wrapped up around the couch, he seemed to be digging in the pie and munching quietly as he stared at their conversation. Wasn't it too boring for him to even listen too? Like the kid he was, he fixed his eyes back at the pie, oh well.. After all the discussion, Nova bid her brother good bye, waving her hands in mid air. "I will see you later, okay?" She darted her eye lids in which Dexter happily smiled before leaving the house. "Nikky, it's time to go now, your mother will be worried." Nova turned to look at Nikky who was happy enough with his food. Nikky's mouth formed an 'O' as he stood up from the couch slowly, he dropped the plate of food on the table and gazed at N
Niccy lifted her chin and gazed up at the man, "I am so sorry sir." She was taught to respect everyone she came across. She leaned in slowly to catch a glance of the man's handsome, he looked familiar, warmth gushing over her, however, she couldn't stay anymore, she had to go, before this man ask her questions she do not want to answer. Alec sighed heavily, gazing at the little girl who almost ruined his suit, her face, something in unexplainable, she looked like.... him.... He could see her in him, who was she anyways? Before he could see anything or grab the little girl's hand to ask about her parent, she dashed away with full speed. Alec was surprised. He rubbed his palms together gazing elsewhere, why was he here anyways? oh, he was here as the father for Emily and Henry, his niece and nephew. He sighed before fishing out his phone, he needed to call Natasha right now. "Hello." The phone call was connected. Natasha who was halfway near her car couldn't help but creak her ey
As soon as they reached the office, Natasha went to her office which was close to Alec's and slumped on the chair feeling tired, she wondered how Niccy would feel now. Probably Hurt? She gazed back at her office laptop and scrambled on the laptop, she was going to be busy for the entire day anyways. She sighed before rubbing her palms together, she had to get something to eat, she was damn hungry. Soon, she left the office and stroded downstairs only to see an handsome man on the waiting chair. "Are you the CEO's assistant? I will like to see him now, hope he isn't busy?" Edward asked her, scanning her. Natasha couldn't help but slowly Nodding her head, "He isn't expecting anyone so you can go in now." She respectfully said. *"What's up Alec?" Edward walked in freely, he hands in his suit pocket, he slumped on the chair. "I have been in abroad for the past six years, and this is how you welcome an old time friend?" He wined but as always, Alec ignored him for his laptop. "Hey!
The next day, Natasha woke up with a yawn, and a smile spread all across her lips, she gazed around the bed room and couldn't see her twins on the bed. Her face etched a frown as she stared around, where was her kids? She stood up from the bed and wore her flip flops, etching her night wear, she stroded downstairs. She could smell the nice smell of pancakes as she walked down the stairs. "What's this I am smelling?" She happily stroded downstairs. "Good morning," Nova smiled as she adjusted her apron, she cringed her head a little as she flipped the pancake. "Wow. This smells nice, where are the kids?" Natasha asked her. "They are preparing for school, no need to worry, oh and can we talk about the cash?" Nova nervously laughed. Natasha shrugged her shoulders a little bit, "Would $100 do?" Nova's eyes brightened, "Duh," "I have to get prepared, I don't want Alec troubling me," Natasha walked to the toilet. **Natasha etched the coat as the cold wind blew across her now pal
After the eating, Natasha patted her stomach, that was the best food she had ate in years, the flavour, the richness, it was so good. Alec stood up and adjusted his suit, soon they went outside. A flashy BMW speed towards them, the car creaked slightly open, and a butler in tuxedo walked out of the car. "Good day Sir," He bowed slightly, "Please get in the car. I will be your ride to the hotel," Natasha and Alec entered the car and soon, it drove up in high speed to one of the best hotel in London; Cafe Royal hotel. It was an expensive hotel where only rich elites booked, am hotel that a pauper can never go too. Alec walked in the hotel, his shades on. He walked to the receptionist and gazed at her. "I would like to have two rooms," Alec said indifferently passing his debit card to her The receptionist gazed at him, her eyes twinkling, she seemed to have something for him, scrambling her hands through the computer, she gazed up at Alec. "I am sorry sir, but all the rooms are t

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
